14.0 Strategic National Sustain

14.0.1

Introduction

At the strategic level of war, a nation, often as a member of a group of nations, determines

national or multinational (alliance or coalition) security objectives and guidance, and develops

and uses national resources to accomplish these objectives. Activities at this level establish

national and multinational military objectives, sequence initiatives, define limits and assess risks

for the use of military and other instruments of national power, develop global plans or theater

war plans to achieve these objectives, and provide military forces and other capabilities in

accordance with strategic plans. The Strategic National sublevel encompasses U.S. Department

of Defense (DoD), service, and interagency tasks. Twelve Strategic National Sustain tasks were

identified in the chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) Functional Area

Analysis (FAA), including a task for elimination operations. However, the detailed analysis of

the elimination tasks has been deferred to the Joint Requirements Office for Chemical,

Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense (JRO-CBRND-sponsored FAA/Functional Needs

Analysis (FNA) of the weapons of mass destruction (WMD) elimination and interdiction

functional areas.

This chapter, detailing the Strategic National (SN) Sustain (SUST) area, restates relevant

information from the CBRND Defense (CBRND) FAA including a description of each of the 12

SNSUST tasks, derivation of the task, an indication of other linked tasks, and the pertinent

conditions. The Functional Needs Analysis (FNA) section addresses the capability and

deficiency analysis and a brief description of potential near-term changes. Once all the

capabilities are considered, the assessment concludes with a separate, overarching look at the

entire capability spectrum to identify remaining gaps and/or synergies. The FSA section

addresses possible solutions for the deficiencies identified in the FNA section. These are

categorized into materiel or non-materiel. The non-materiel solutions are addressed first and

reflect one or more of the six areas of DOTLPF: doctrine, organization, training, leadership,

personnel, and facilities. If there is no non-materiel solution to the deficiencies, then materiel

solutions are considered. These encompass broad approaches that are not system-specific. These

potential materiel approaches are addressed in the Ideas for Materiel Approaches (IMA) section.

The IMAs provide a possible near- or far-term resolution to identified deficiencies within the

individual capabilities.

Most of the SNSUST tasks involve required capabilities of major staffs or staff sections within

DoD. In those areas where a DoD staff or agency needed to interact within the interagency, the

task focused on DoD capabilities required to facilitate the interaction.

14.0.2

FNA Summary

Table 14.0-1 summarizes the overall current and projected capability to perform the SNSUST

tasks identified in the CBRND FAA. The overall capability to conduct these tasks in the current

time frame is assessed as “red.” The greatest deficiency is the lack of universally accepted

standards of cleanliness for all types of decontamination operations and the development of

policies for detection and verification of those standards. The Office of the Secretary of Defense

(OSD) and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) are responsible for ensuring that

military representatives are able to coordinate with allies, allied military organizations, potential

host nations, and coalition partners for the development of policies and planning for restoration

operations within an active theater under military control to limit potential CBRN hazards. The

capability to establish restoration operation agreements and policies exists now administratively.

Mechanisms currently used are North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) working groups that

develop Standardization Agreements (STANAGs) and Allied Joint Publications (AJPs) as well

as American, British, Canadian, and Australian Armies Program (ABCA) Quadrapartite working

groups. Ad hoc formations of coalitions can include establishment of policies, responsibilities,

and procedures for restoration operations required from CBRN contamination if the threat

situation warrants. While the current state of “tactical-level” agreements and policies is mature

and robust, those agreements and policies do not reflect the needs of operational level and above

multinational organizations, therefore no standardized agreements; doctrine; and tactics,

techniques, and procedures (TTPs) have resulted for these levels of war. Tasks for establishing a

variety of policies and guidelines for joint restoration operations and post-conflict remediation of

restoration operation sites have not been accomplished. While the Joint Staff has the ability to

perform these tasks, it has not yet done so. In addition, there is little in the way of operational

level and above experience, doctrine, or TTPs to help guide the process. At a minimum, the

projected capability will improve to “yellow” following a decision to act on these requirements.

FSA Summary

The paragraphs below summarize the assessment of all potential doctrine, organization, training,

materiel, leadership and education, personnel, and facilities (DOTMLPF) (non-materiel and

materiel) solutions for the capability gaps identified in the FNA section.

14.0.3.1

DOTLPF

The DOTLPF solutions identified in this chapter are associated primarily with actions that must

include concept development to provide the basis for policy and guidelines for the majority of

national-level tasks. The greatest need is the establishment of universally accepted standards of

cleanliness for all types of decontamination operations and the development of policies for

detection and verification of those standards. Concepts must also be developed that will guide

operational and above conduct of multinational restoration operations and experimentation

conducted to refine the concepts. Refined concepts must be tested in full-scale exercises and

lessons learned applied to the writing of and revision of concepts, doctrine, and TTPs. Other

solutions include the development of leader education programs and increasing the capability of

CBRND staffs at all levels. CJCS and interagency partners must work out procedures and

exercise scenarios for the complex interactions between agencies required before, during, and

after CBRND restoration operations. The Emergency Support Functions (ESF) in the Federal

Response Plan provide a framework for defining these responsibilities. The current version of the

Universal Joint Task List (UJTL) does not apply outside DoD although future editions are

intended for the interagency audience. Interagency roles and responsibilities must be defined,

especially for post-conflict aspects of restoration operations. Other solutions include the

development of leader education programs for interagency, CBRND, and non-CBRND leaders.

Few exercises and little experimentation have taken place to facilitate the formulation of data

useful for Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) analysis at the

operational level and above. It is imperative that these exercises/experiments take place and

lessons learned be integrated into doctrine, TTPs, and guidance and further tested through

exercises. Only then can JCIDS analysis truly identify capability gaps and requirements. Other

Chapter 14. Strategic National Sustain Tasks

solutions include the development of leader education programs for both CBRND and non-

CBRND leaders and automated system enhancements and tools that will help with the

integration of decontamination tasks into exercises and the follow-on gathering of data for

analysis.

14.0.3.2

IMA

The Global Command and Control System (GCCS) does not provide useful information on

restoration operations for deployment, sustainment, and redeployment considerations and does

not receive information from the Joint Warning and Reporting Network (JWARN). An

automated system must be developed to provide location (global positioning system [GPS]) and

unit/activity restoration operation status through component command unit communication

systems into the NBC (Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical) Battle Management System and from

there into JWARN and GCCS. Systems must be automatic and provide analysis of impact of

restoration operations on strategic deployment, sustainment, and redeployment. Automated tools

must be developed that take the relevant data (when gathered) and provide a means to forecast

strategic force restoration operation requirements.

Task SNSUST 1: Establish restoration operation agreements and policies with allies,

14.1.1

Functional Area Analysis

14.1.1.1

Definition

To seek out those countries with which the United States will cooperate during potential military

operations. Prearranged agreements prior to combat operations will facilitate restoration

operations in the event of CBRN/toxic industrial material (TIM) contamination of forces,

equipment, and facilities. Per QDR 2001, U.S. alliances, as well as a wide range of bilateral

security relationships, are a centerpiece of U.S. security. In conjunction with interagency

partners, CJCS will establish agreements with allies and potential coalition host nations to

establish policy, responsibilities, and procedures for restoration operations required from

CBRN/TIM contamination. As circumstances change, the agreements are subsequently reworked

and maintained to include international agreements for post-conflict remediation of restoration

operation sites.

Capability and Deficiency Assessment Summary

Table 14.1-1 discusses the only capabilities that currently exist to perform the task to the

designated standards. No other capabilities are projected that will accomplish this task.

Current Capability and Deficiency

The current assessment is “yellow.” OSD and the CJCS are responsible for ensuring that military

representatives are able to coordinate with allies, allied military organizations, potential host

nations, and coalition partners for the development of policies and planning for restoration

operations within an active theater under military control to limit potential CBRN hazards. The

capability to establish restoration operation agreements and policies exists now administratively.

Mechanisms currently used are NATO working groups that develop STANAGs and AJPs as well

as ABCA Quadrapartite working groups. Ad hoc formations of coalitions can include

establishment of policies, responsibilities, and procedures for restoration operations required

from CBRN contamination if the threat situation warrants. The ABCA Coalition Operations

Handbook provides a good point of departure for establishing restoration operations policies

within newly formed coalitions. Combatant command (COCOM) staffs can formulate these

types of ad hoc agreements (with State Department permission/cooperation in peacetime) or

through Theater Engagement Plans that conform to CBRND initiatives in the “Global Family of

Engagement Plans” (see Task SNSUST 11).

Projected Near/Mid-Term Capability and Deficiency

No other capabilities are currently projected for the near/mid term. No capability improvements

are forecast for the near/mid term.

Projected Far-Term Capability and Deficiency

No other capabilities are currently projected for the far-term future. DOTMLPF should improve

in all deficient areas as a result of initiatives that use data resulting from focused

experimentation. Joint TTPs (JTTPs), training and exercises, and education will all improve

leading to a far-term assessment of “green.”

¹ Nothing precludes COCOM staff from accomplishing this task, and in other areas of CBRND, particularly within Central Command and USFK, engagement and cooperation

have taken place to varying degrees. USFK has the most robust cooperation on CBRND. But broadly speaking, restoration operation theater engagement plan (TEP) has so far not

been initiated. The Joint Forces Staff College is interested in using CBRND issues in its TEP training curriculum.

² There are no restoration operation agreements or policy statements within the framework of TEP at this time.

³ While there have been many international exercises, an exercise focused on restoration of operations has not been conducted. The Restoration Operations (RESTOPS) Advanced

Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) (USFK), when published. will provide information about fixed-site restoration but does not focus on multinational restoration

operations.

⁴ Basic agreements and policies relating to many aspects of CBRND interoperability have been established for the four-member Quadrapartite Armies. Many interoperability

issues for restoration operations remain, particularly issues at higher than tactical level

⁵ Working groups update agreements and policies on a regular basis. The updates to agreements and policies relating to restoration are limited to the comprehensiveness of the

initial products.

⁶ While Quadrapartite exercises usually take place every two years, many focusing on interoperability, an exercise focused on restoration of operations has not been conducted.

issues for restoration operations remain, particularly issues at higher than tactical level.

⁸ Working groups update agreements and policies on a regular basis. The updates to agreements and policies relating to restoration are limited to the comprehensiveness of the

14.1.3.1

DOTLPF Assessment Summary

This section addresses the deficiencies and suggests potential non-materiel solutions. If there are

no non-materiel solutions, or they are only partial solutions, the remaining non-materiel need is

then stated. Materiel needs are assessed in the IMA section.

Deficiency: No restoration operation agreements and policies with allies, allied military

organizations, potential host nations, and coalition partners that focus at operational level and

above.

Non-Materiel Solutions: Doctrine:Establish agreements and policies with allies, allied

military organizations, potential host nations, and coalition partners to include restoration

operations considerations at operational level and above. This task will likely have to be done

in conjunction with new exercises and experiments.

Deficiency: No international exercises focused on restoration operations.

Non-Materiel Solutions: Doctrine: Provide input to working groups and councils to

establish policies and guidelines to include operational-level and above restoration operations

in international exercises. Training: Develop exercises that focus on multinational restoration

operations considerations at operational level and above. Multinational and coalition training

exercises at the Joint National Training Center (JNTC) must test and capture lessons learned

on joint and combined restoration operations. Facilities: Incorporate telemetrics and

infrastructure to support operational-level and above multinational restoration operation

training at JNTC.

Deficiency: No concepts/doctrine have been established for operational level and above.

Non-Materiel Solutions: Doctrine:Establish doctrine, i.e., staff guidance, that focuses on

operational-level and above restoration operations considerations (Chairman of the Joint

Chiefs of Staff Instruction [CJCSI], Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Manual [CJCSM],

or JTTPs). This task will likely have to be done in conjunction with new exercises and

experiments. Doctrinal publications provide no guidance useful for developing international

restoration policies at this level. Joint Publication (JP) 3-11 provides operational-/tactical-

level decontamination considerations only. STANAG 2426 (NBC Contamination Control

Policy for NATO Forces), a successful example of the process, still has flaws. The progress

of Quadripartite Standardization Agreement (QSTAG) 1335 (NBC Decontamination,

Following ABCA Operations, For Redeployment And/Or Recovery) has been hampered by an

inability to develop international standards for contamination levels. Key to defining

restoration policies is reaching agreement among subject matter experts as to what constitutes

an acceptable level of contamination. Debate on how clean is “clean” will continue until

international standards are developed and codified. International standards on acceptable

levels of contamination must be developed. Medical experts must define acceptable levels of

hazard to permit development of sensitive detection devices and effective decontaminants.

As lessons are learned from JNTC and theater-level multinational exercises, doctrine must be

developed that can be incorporated into pertinent joint publications.

4. Deficiency: There is no Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) leader education on

multinational restoration operations or TEP.

Non-Materiel Solutions: Leadership:Once concepts and doctrine are developed, include as

learning areas in JPME requirements. Work with the Joint Forces Staff College (JFSC) to

integrate restoration operations into TEP curriculum.

5. Deficiency: CBRND Staffs do not have adequate capability, experience, or education.

Non-Materiel Solutions: Organization:Analyze CBRND staffing in all organizations in

light of the tasks required of them in this JCIDS. Recommend staffing/organizational

changes, enhancements, or alternative fixes as required. Leadership:Analyze training/

education received by CBRND specialists assigned to joint staffs. Recommend training/

education changes, enhancements, or alternative fixes as required. Personnel: Analyze

experience base of CBRND specialists assigned to joint staffs. Recommend career track

changes, prerequisites, enhancements, or alternative fixes as required.

Functional Area Analysis

14.2.1.1

Definition

To determine internationally accepted standards of decontamination and establish globally

accepted policy for determining compliance and enforcement of the standards. Decontamination

standards and policy must be established prior to combat operations and maintained with allies

and potential coalition hosts and partners. Further, it is important to have globally accepted

standards to facilitate international cooperation during periods of CBRN/TIM emergencies

resulting in widespread contamination and to clarify when once contaminated assets may be

returned to unrestricted utility. Decontamination standards will provide common measures for

assessing levels of decontamination. Furthermore, it is important to have globally accepted

standards to facilitate international cooperation during CBRN/TIM emergencies with widespread

contamination. As circumstances change (e.g., sensitive detection devices needed for hazardous

low-dosage agents), the standards will need to be subsequently reworked and maintained.

Projected Far-Term Capability and Deficiency

No other capabilities are currently projected for the far-term future. Limited improvements are

expected across the board although NATO exercises/experimentation efforts will provide

valuable lessons learned at appropriate levels. Little progress is expected until standards that

define how clean is “clean” are established and accepted throughout the international

community.

allied military organizations, potential host nations, and coalition partners to include

detection standards for previously contaminated materiel and equipment.

Deficiency: No doctrine has been developed that would lead to a universally agreed upon

standard of decontamination that would satisfy cross-border movement of previously

contaminated equipment.

Non-Materiel Solutions: Doctrine: JP 3-11 provides no definitive guidance for the

establishment of international decontamination standards. Again, the problem is rooted

primarily in a lack of internationally agreed-upon levels of decontamination/permissible level

of contamination. The progress in the development of draft QSTAG 1335 (NBC

Decontamination, Following ABCA Operations, for Redeployment and/or Recovery) has

been hampered by an inability to develop international standards for contamination levels.

The concept of “clearance decontamination” ideally describes the ultimate result of definitive

guidance and standards. Clearance decontamination is defined in AJP 3-8 as

“decontamination of equipment and/or personnel on temporary or permanent removal from

an operation to a standard sufficient to allow unrestricted transportation, maintenance,

employment and disposal.” The development of international standards would ideally

provide a mechanism for the transport of previously contaminated military equipment across

international borders once the equipment was certified as having met the standard.

Complicating the establishment of these standards is the fact that establishment of

contamination standards is a civil, as well as a military, problem. Civil authorities have a

responsibility to safeguard their citizens and dare not allow previously contaminated material

to enter their countries unless they meet (yet to be established) agreed upon and certifiable

standards. Commercial industrial organizations, particularly in the transport sector, must be

assured that neither transport personnel nor equipment will be harmed by hazards that cannot

be detected by current technology or exists at levels that have not yet been determined to be

hazardous.

Definition

To establish, prior to combat operations, and then maintain policy and guidelines that will

facilitate the planning and execution of joint restoration operations. CJCS, rather than individual

commanders, must provide guidance on support to special operations forces (SOF) and foreign

consequence management (CM) to facilitate intertheater standardization of restoration

operations. This action must be accomplished by CJCS rather than individual combatant

commands to facilitate intertheater standardization of restoration operations. Includes guidance

on support to SOF and support required for foreign CM.

Current Capability and Deficiency

Current capability is assessed as “yellow.” OSD and CJCS are responsible for ensuring that

military representatives are able to coordinate with allies, allied military organizations, potential

host nations, and coalition partners for the establishment of multinational interoperability

standards for restoration operations. The capability to establish restoration operation

interoperability agreements and policies exists now administratively. Mechanisms currently used

are NATO working groups that develop STANAGs and AJPs as well as ABCA Quadrapartite

working groups. Ad hoc formations of coalitions can include establishment of policies,

responsibilities, and procedures for restoration operations required from CBRN contamination if

the threat situation warrants. The ABCA Coalition Operations Handbook provides a good point

of departure for establishing restoration operations policies within newly formed coalitions.

USFK has a mature relationship with South Korea. COCOM staffs can formulate these types of

ad hoc agreements (with State Department permission/cooperation in peacetime) or through

TEPs that conform to CBRND initiatives in the “Global Family of Engagement Plans” (see Task

SNSUST 11).

Capability and Deficiency Assessment Summary

Table 14.7-1 discusses the only capability that currently exists to perform the task to the

designated standard. No other capability is projected that will accomplish this task.

Current Capability and Deficiency

The current assessment is “red.” CJCS has numerous responsibilities, including, but not limited

to, preparing strategic plans, military strategy and assessments, joint logistic and mobility plans,

etc. Although international agreements govern the establishment and control of infectious disease

quarantine standards, these standards have not been developed with intentional biological

warfare in mind. Standards and procedures for reception, staging, onward movement, and

integration (RSOI) of forces through and in allied or coalition partner countries when biological

warfare has been initiated have not been developed. The outbreak of a disease requiring

international quarantine could prevent the projection of forces into a critical area. The joint staff

has the capability to work with the Surgeon General and interagency partners and allies to

establish international infectious disease quarantine and isolation standards and policies for

biological warfare attacks but has not yet done so.

Projected Near/Mid-Term Capability and Deficiency

No other capability is currently projected for the near/mid term. Little capability improvement is

forecast for the near/mid term.

Projected Far-Term Capability and Deficiency

No other capability is currently projected for the far-term. DOTMLPF should improve in all

deficient areas as a result of initiatives that use data resulting from focused experimentation.

JTTPs, training and exercises, and education will all improve but lead to a far-term assessment of

only “yellow.”

² Although international agreements govern the establishment and control of infectious disease quarantine and isolation standards, these standards have not been developed with

intentional biological warfare in mind. Standards and procedures for RSOI of forces through and in allied or coalition partner countries when biological warfare has been initiated

have not been developed. Emerging problems resulting from Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) highlight problems that could be anticipated. The outbreak of a disease

requiring international quarantine could prevent the projection of forces into a critical area.

³ There are no standards and policies.

⁴ While there have been many international/joint exercises, an exercise focused on infectious disease quarantine and isolation for biological warfare attacks has not been conducted.

⁵ The overall status should improve to “yellow” due to a multitude of initiatives but is not anticipated to improve more than that due to the length of time it will take for

experimentation and DOTMLPF initiatives to provide feedback and lessons learned. When an automated tool that integrates deployment, sustainment, and redeployment data with

14.8.1.1

Definition

To make a specific assessment of the impact that ongoing or planned restoration operations will

have on the requirement to conduct strategic deployment, sustainment, and redeployment. CJCS

receives input from deployment, sustainment, or redeployment locations that have been targeted

by CBRN/TIM weapons concerning the status of restoration operations for key locations,

facilities, and equipment that are required for strategic deployment, sustainment, or

redeployment of forces and determines the impact. CJCS also receives input regarding key

strategic forces and means that are contaminated as a result of CBRN/TIM attacks at their

locations regarding the status of restoration operations designed to prepare them for strategic

deployment/redeployment or for strategic sustainment activities.

¹ Concepts, doctrine and, TTPs focusing restoration operation impact on strategic deployment, sustainment, and redeployment are limited. CBRND staffs and staffing at all levels

are not robustly manned making it difficult to apply CBRND subject matter expertise when required. CBRND staffs are not adequately trained/experienced on strategic CBRND

issues. JPME does not currently address this issue.

² The J-3 staff would ultimately have the means to make a determination of the impact of ongoing or projected restoration operations on strategic deployment, sustainment, and

redeployment. Although the J-3 staff is skilled and experienced, they would have little skill or experience with CBRND issues concerning restoration operations. For restoration

operation issues, their current capability is does not receive information from JWARN. It is unlikely that assessments can be made manually within 2 hours, slowing down the

process. The GCCS does not provide useful information on restoration operations for deployment/redeployment considerations and sustainment.

³ Limited. Nothing precludes the J-3 staff from considering the total force involved, but because the current capability for analysis is manual accuracy may not be as dependable

and might be subject to human errors.

trained/experienced on strategic CBRND issues. JPME does not currently address this issue.

² While there have been many national/joint exercises that have included some restoration operations issues, an exercise focused on restoration operations for a strategic force has

not been conducted except in USFK. While many tactical-level issues have been captured from this and other exercises for examination, operational-/strategic-level issues are

virtually nonexistent.

³ The RESTOPS ACTD, conducted in USFK, has focused on restoration operations for fixed facilities. When published, the results are expected to provide abundant data for

restoration operations for fixed facilities. There have been no experiments focusing on operational level and above warfighting restoration operations concepts and issues.

⁴ Limited. The JCIDS process is currently being used to conduct a comprehensive examination of CBRN Sustain considerations at all levels of war (SN, ST, OP, and TA) within

the limitations of currently available data. The issue is with the “comprehensiveness” of the data available for examination. While data at the tactical level are reasonably available,

DOTLPF Assessment Summary

This section addresses the deficiencies and suggests potential non-materiel solutions. If there are

no non-materiel solutions, or they are only partial solutions, the remaining non-materiel need is

then stated. Materiel needs are assessed in the IMA section.

Deficiency: Data are currently unavailable to help determine what is “required”.

Non-Materiel Solutions: Doctrine: Establish TTPs and methodologies to assist the J-3 staff

determine capability requirements when establishing forward presence of decontamination

units. Training: Establish training to assist the J-3 staff to determine capability requirements

when establishing forward presence of decontamination units.

Deficiency: There are few data on whether decontamination units will be able to conduct

operations when required.

Non-Materiel Solutions: Training: Integrate this task into exercises and experiments to

develop reliable data.

Deficiency: There have been no experiments focusing on operational-level and above

warfighting restoration operations concepts and issues to include establishing forward

presence of decontamination units.

Non-Materiel Solutions: Training: Integrate this task into exercises and experiments to

develop reliable data.

Deficiency: Concepts, doctrine, and TTPs focusing on establishing forward presence of

decontamination units are very limited.

Non-Materiel Solutions: Training: Develop enhanced concepts, doctrine, and TTPs

focusing on establishing forward presence of decontamination units based on data collected

in exercises and experiments.

Deficiency: CBRN staffs and staffing at all levels are not robustly manned, making it

difficult to apply CBRND subject matter expertise to planning and evaluating exercises when

required.

Non-Materiel Solutions: Organization: Analyze CBRN staffing in all organizations in light

of the capabilities required of them in this task. Recommend staffing/organizational changes,

enhancements, or alternative fixes as required.

Deficiency: CBRND staffs are not adequately trained/experienced on strategic CBRND

issues.

Non-Materiel Solutions: Training: Analyze training/education received by CBRND

specialists assigned to joint staffs. Recommend training/education changes, enhancements, or

alternative fixes as required.

Deficiency: JPME does not currently address this issue.

Functional Area Analysis

14.11.1.1

Definition

To formulate policy for restoration operation “Global Family of Engagement Plans” and to

provide this policy, as well as specific guidelines, to combatant commanders for execution. In

conjunction with interagency partners, CJCS establishes and develops this policy and guidelines

prior to combat operations. Because the threat of CBRN/TIM weapons is of concern to all

nations and potential allies, offering assistance in establishing a restoration operational

capability, through training or equipment, can help forge new friendships and cooperation.

Decontamination operational issues will be easier to address in remote or austere areas if the host

nation has a decontamination capability.

Chapter 14. Strategic National Sustain Tasks

Current Capability and Deficiency

The current assessment is “red.” CJCS has numerous responsibilities, including, but not limited

to, preparing and reviewing joint policies and guidelines, etc. The concept of “global family of

engagement plans” is the phrase embodiment used in the Theater Engagement Planning (TEP)

Joint Manual (CJCSM 3113.01a) to describe action mandated by Defense Planning Guidance FY

2002-2007 (6 April 2000) to develop a process to globally integrate all military engagement

activities. The TEPs from each geographic combatant commander or designated Executive Agent

are integrated into the “Global Family of Engagement Plans,” which is approved by CJCS and

forwarded to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy for review. This process and the review

and any guidance or support to aid the COCOM in the initial development of the TEP is a

strategic national-level activity and—from the standpoint of Sense, Shape, Shield, and Sustain,

as embodied in the CBRND Enabling Concept—must be accomplished, at a minimum, with the

technical assistance and support of JRO-CBRND. When we say “Restoration Operation Global

Family of Engagement Plans,” we mean the integration of Sustain CBRND Enabling Concept

ideas into any policies and guidelines that would impact on COCOM development of TEPs.

Projected Near/Mid-Term Capability and Deficiency

No other capabilities are currently projected for the near/mid term. DOTMLPF should improve

in all deficient areas as a result of initiatives that use data resulting from focused

experimentation. JTTPs, training and exercises, and education will all improve but lead to a far-

term assessment of only “yellow.”

Projected Far-Term Capability and Deficiency

No other capabilities are currently projected for the far term. No capability improvements are

forecast for the far term. The overall status will remain “yellow” despite a multitude of initiatives

and is not anticipated to improve more than that due to the inherent difficulties posed by

international relations.

14.12 Task SNSUST 12: Coordinate CBRN elimination operations

14.12.1

Functional Area Analysis

14.12.1.1

Definition

To coordinate global planning and execution of CBRN elimination operations. U.S. Armed

Forces may conduct military operations for the explicit purpose of eliminating the CBRN

weapons or capabilities held by an adversary. Specifically, U.S. military operations across the

range of conflict and nonconflict situations (e.g., peace operations, humanitarian assistance, or

military support to civil authorities) also may entail a requirement to eliminate, or support the

elimination of, CBRN weapons or capabilities. CBRN elimination is the systematic removal of a

capability within a nation or organization to develop, deploy, or employ CBRN weapons. The

degree or extent of elimination is a strategic objective, defined by a strategic end state, and

ranges from complete removal of all capability (including research, production, and training for

any form of CBRN weapon) to the focused removal of specific capabilities. This task

encompasses three primary subtasks: Exploitation (locating, characterizing, and securing CBRN

materiel, weapons, equipment, personnel, and infrastructure, and developing appropriate forensic

evidence); Disposition (destroying, dismantling, rendering safe, removing, transferring, or

otherwise verifiably disposing of CBRN materiel, weapons, equipment, and infrastructure); and

Monitoring and Redirection (monitoring, inspecting, and redirecting/converting the CBRN

infrastructure).

Chapter 15. Strategic Theater Sustain Tasks

15.0 Strategic Theater Sustain

15.0.1

Introduction

At the strategic level of war, a nation, often as a member of a group of nations, determines

national or multinational (alliance or coalition) security objectives and guidance, and develops

and uses national resources to accomplish these objectives. Activities at this level establish

national and multinational military objectives, sequence initiatives, define limits and assess risks

for the use of military and other instruments of national power, develop global plans or theater

war plans to achieve these objectives, and provide military forces and other capabilities in

accordance with strategic plans. The Strategic Theater (ST) sublevel encompasses combatant

command (COCOM) tasks. Fourteen ST Sustain (SUST) tasks were identified in the chemical,

biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) Functional Area Analysis (FAA) including a task

for elimination operations. However, the detailed analysis of the elimination tasks has been

deferred to the Joint Requirements Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear

Defense (JRO-CBRND) sponsored FAA/Functional Needs Analysis (FNA) of the weapons of

mass destruction (WMD) elimination and interdiction functional areas.

This chapter, detailing the STSUST area, restates relevant information from the CBRND FAA,

including a description of each of the 14 STSUST tasks, derivation of the task, an indication of

other linked tasks, and the pertinent conditions. The FNA section addresses the capability and

deficiency analysis and a brief description of potential near term changes. Once all the

capabilities are considered, the assessment concludes with a separate, overarching look at the

entire capability spectrum to identify remaining gaps and/or synergies. The Functional Solutions

Analysis (FSA) section addresses possible solutions for the deficiencies identified in the FNA

section. These are categorized into materiel or non-materiel. The non-materiel solutions are

addressed first and reflect one or more of the six areas of DOTLPF: doctrine, organization,

training, leadership, personnel, and facilities. If there is no non-materiel solution to the

deficiencies, then materiel solutions are considered. These encompass broad approaches that are

not system-specific. These potential materiel approaches are addressed and in the Ideas for

Materiel Approaches (IMA) section. The IMAs provide a possible near- or far-term resolution to

identified deficiencies within the individual capabilities.

Most of the STSUST tasks involve required capabilities of major staffs or staff sections within

the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). In those areas where a DoD staff or agency needed to

interact within the interagency, the task focused on DoD capabilities required to facilitate the

interaction.

15.0.2

FNA Summary

Table 15.0-1 summarizes the overall current and projected capability to perform STSUST tasks

identified in the CBRND FAA. The overall capability to conduct these tasks in the current time

frame is assessed as “yellow.” The combatant commander coordinates policies, guidelines, and

responsibilities with the theater commanders to govern theater restoration operations and

establishes priorities. Nothing precludes the COCOM staff from accomplishing these tasks,, but

there is very little in the way of existing doctrine or tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to

Chapter 15. Strategic Theater Sustain Tasks

help guide them. Procedures that specifically address moving sustainment cargo from

uncontaminated to contaminated lift assets for movement into contaminated ports of debarkation

(PODs) are currently manual, making the process slow, labor-intensive, and subject to human

error. Without joint TTPs (JTTPs), training, or exercises to prepare them, the COCOM staff may

not have adequate expertise or time to complete these tasks before they are required. While any

COCOM could provide a Joint Task Force (JTF) HQ for command and control of restoration

operations, it has never been accomplished. The joint exercise UNIFIED ENDEAVOR allows a

COCOM to exercise in the establishment and training of a JTF, but the exercise has never been

used to establish a JTF for the specific mission of conducting large-scale restoration operations.

The COCOM staff would ultimately have the means to make a determination of the impact of

ongoing or projected restoration operations on theater residual capability. Although the COCOM

staff is skilled and experienced, they would have little skill or experience with CBRND issues

concerning restoration operations. For restoration operation issues their current capability is

manual, slowing down the process. The Global Command and Control System (GCCS) does not

provide useful information on restoration operations for residual capability determinations and

does not receive information from the Joint Warning and Reporting Network (JWARN). It is

unlikely that assessments can be made manually within 2 hours. Although improvements are

expected in many of the areas, the capability projection will remain “yellow”. This overall

projected assessment remaining the same for STSUST tasks is based on anticipated extrapolated

results of current and programmed doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and

education, personnel, and facilities (DOTMLPF) initiatives. There are no major technological

barriers to be overcome. It is rather a matter of emphasis in future budgeting and programming

of resources in order to initiate or enhance recommended DOTMLPF solutions. The estimated

pace of change reflected in this assessment could be accelerated or slowed based on decisions to

accelerate or slow the implementation of recommended solutions.

FSA Summary

The paragraphs below summarize the assessment of all potential DOTMLPF (non-materiel and

materiel) solutions for the capability gaps identified in the FNA section. The ideas for materiel

approaches primarily highlight the need for automated tools to replace processes that are

currently manual and thereby slow, labor-intensive, and subject to human error.

15.0.3.1

DOTLPF

The DOTLPF solutions identified in this chapter are associated primarily with decontamination

and CBRND medical operations for joint forces. Non-materiel and materiel solutions have been

identified. Non-materiel solutions include such things as development of TTPs for operational

and thorough decontamination of sensitive equipment and fixed facilities (interior and exterior),

along with applicable training programs. Remaining materiel requirements include the need for

decontaminants that are nontoxic, noncorrosive, and environmentally friendly. These

decontaminants must neutralize agents on a variety of surfaces such as aircraft skin and sensitive

equipment, while using little or no water. In addition, they must be compatible with each other.

Other remaining materiel requirements include application devices that allow for

decontamination of porous surfaces, along with hard-to-reach and large areas while protecting

the operator from spray-back or extensive IPE requirements.

IMA

This section summarizes possible materiel approaches that address the remaining materiel

requirements of the DOTMLPF assessment. All assessments to facilitate developing theater

restoration operation priorities must be done manually, increasing the time required to establish

priorities when the CBRN situation changes. Automated systems and tools must be developed to

facilitate this process. Procedures that specifically address moving sustainment cargo from

uncontaminated to contaminated lift assets for movement into contaminated PODs are currently

manual, making the process slow, labor-intensive, and subject to human error. It is important to

develop automated tools and integrate procedures into automated systems that specifically

address moving sustainment cargo from uncontaminated to contaminated lift assets for

movement into contaminated PODs.

Definition

To establish, prior to combat operations, policy and guidelines that will facilitate theater

restoration operations. To facilitate joint and multinational intratheater execution of

decontamination operations, the combatant commander provides these policy and guidelines,

prior to combat operations, to the theater commanders to govern theater restoration operations.

The wide variety of potential allies, as well as possible threat configurations and capabilities,

requires both general and specific guidance. As threat capabilities change or improve, so too

must the guidance. Includes guidance on support to special operations forces (SOF) and support

required for foreign consequence management (CM).
