Issues for Awareness � � Not all geographic areas have the same processes for “Lend/Lease” of resources Do not “Lend/Lease” contracts like showers, caterers, etc. In coming team preorders where they are replacing existing team are problematic Communicate through the Dispatch Centers and GACCs when there are incident support issues with self-sufficiency, payment for baggage fees, etc.

Issues for Awareness � DOD leaning forward
