HQUSACE OPLAN Changes § § § The NAD and SPD O-6 led USACE Forward Task Forces are OPCON to LRD to respectively support LRD operations at the Tennessee and Kentucky JFOs. SPD will deploy a General Officer to lead MVD's TF Navigation. MVD retains lead for ESF 3 operations in Illinois and Mississippi, with SAD will operating the RFOs in those two states. The DCG, CW&EO does not automatically forward deploy since the NRCC will adjudicate issues and resources. The UROC, ICW MVD and LRD, has lead to develop and implement a USACE Critical Infrastructure reconnaissance plan. CECI, in coordination with ACE-IT, the UROC and SAM / DTOS, will develop an overall USACE communications plan as part of the Signal Annex. The Strategic Infrastructure Recovery Cell utilizes a GS-15 or PM from the supported divisions ICW the DCO to adjudicate USACE resources and manage USACE Infrastructure priorities. A revised CONPLAN (Annex A) accounts for recent PRT inactivations and changes to MSC response plans. The ULA is tasked to provide two logisticians to support the FEMA Movement Control Cell at the NRCC. Based on predicted damage levels (MAE Center Report), USACE will not need to establish an RFO in Alabama. The Retired Annuitant Office (RAO) serves as the USACE lead to coordinate with the Department of Interior (DOI) to fill ESF 3 personnel support requirements. 5 UNCLASSIFIED BUILDING STRONG
Mission USACE surges forces into the Central United States in response to a catastrophic NMSZ earthquake in order to assess and repair USACE Civil Works infrastructure, execute missions in support of DHS/FEMA under the NRF, support the U. S. Coast Guard in the restoration of navigable waterways and ports and provide technical engineering and contract construction support to impacted DA / Do. D facilities. Note: the term "surges" denotes the Commander's Intent that USACE elements will proactively deploy personnel absent a directive given the expected loss of communications during this event. 6 UNCLASSIFIED BUILDING STRONG
Concept of Operations USACE Support to FEMA • • MSC’s and District’s responsibilities aligned by state. MVD retains responsibility for IL & MS ESF 3 missions but SAD operates the RFOs IL Rock Island KY Louisville MO Kansas City Support FEMA/DHS through ESF # 3 mission assignments Worst Case Scenario assumes Memphis and St. Louis will be impacted districts (their PRT’s will not be available) IN Chicago TN Nashville State District AR Little Rock AL Mobile MS Vicksburg 7 UNCLASSIFIED BUILDING STRONG
