• Plan for the worst, hope for the best
• Effective mission execution depends on a firm
  foundation of planning
• Local conditions demand that we be flexible

• All planning needs to be done as an integrated
  and joint effort with the local Coast Guard unit.

• Permissive or "Pocket orders
• POMS/AUXDATA need to be on-line to provide
  transaction records for reimbursement
• Consider centralizing order issuing authority

Need/Skill Inventory

• Needs analysis for the local CG unit or sector
• Specific needs or generic
• Determine capabilities of Auxiliary members
• Employment survey

Communications

• Loss of traditional communications
• Provide a communication mechanism for members to
  volunteer
• Logistics, support, command/control

13
Educate and Exercise

• Knowledge and skills are the building blocks to
  insure smooth integration, interoperability and
  advanced capability to the event.

14
ICS Training
CG and AUX Exercises and Drills
Trident PQS/ OPS Qualifications
ICS

• Leadership and operational support must achieve a
  new level of readiness
• Effective response integration requires basic
  understanding of ICS

15
Qualifications

• Qualification provides trained manpower and
  response capability
• Contingency Planner PQS can support Auxiliary
  district planning
• AUXPAL provides additional CG resources

16
Exercise Support

• Exercises and drills allow
• Members can hone skills
• Identify system failures
• Identify planning shortfalls
• Determine readiness and capability
• Tabletop to full scale exercises

17
Assets

• Identify personnel and facilities. Conduct an
  inventory of qualifications as well as personal
  and professional skills to better understand
  Auxiliary capability.

18
OPR III

• Inventories personnel, facilities, civilian
  skills
• Locates critical assets

19
AUXPAL

• Targeted recruiting based on CG needs
• Member qualifies in a CG program and augments
• Boats, cutters
• OPCEN/communications

20
Qualifications

• Attract personnel to programs, qualify, certify
  and maintain currency
• Traditional and specialty programs
• Transfer quals during surge ops

21
Vessels

• Right facility for response scenarios
• Fuel consumption, trailerable
• Consider need to protect crew from elements and
  fatigue
• Self sustaining

22
Airframes

• The value of AUXAIR has been proven
• Multiple mission profile
• Cost effective
• Consider future needs

23
Radio Capability

• Communication is critical at all levels
• (logistics, operational, command and control)
• Need for national Auxiliary HF frequencies
• Need for self sustaining, Auxiliary supported
  communications facilities in the disaster
  perimeter

24
Capabilities

• Planning should involve an analysis of the
  components of Auxiliary service in response
  efforts.

25
Augmentation

• Qualified in a CG program and improves unit
  manpower
• Programs include Marine Safety, communications or
  OPCEN watch, boat crew or cutter augmentation
• Potentially deployable, but not likely

26
Operational Support

• Traditional Auxiliary missions on Auxiliary
  platforms or in Auxiliary programs
• Successful in planned events
• Potential disconnect in disaster response
• Specialized skills may be needed on site

27
Backfill

• Most realistic and feasible use of Auxiliary
  operational support
• Allows active duty and reserve members to deploy
  to the theater while maintaining operational
  capacity

28
Culture of Disaster Response
We must be individually and organizationally
flexible
We must be individually and organizationally
prepared
Auxiliary members must recognize that being
denied deployment to the primary event is not a
rebuke of their offer, but rather the recognition
that a volunteer is to be valued and not placed
in harms way.
29
Response
Consistent, capable response requires

• assessment of Auxiliary capability and CG needs
• effective communication with CG, local leaders
  and Auxiliary members
• integration of CG and Auxiliary planning
• frequent drills to test the plan

Contingency Planning
Goal of Auxiliary Planning Achieve a plan that
is reliable, flexible and scalable
