CBRND Functional Needs Analysis/Functional Solution Analysis

Chapter 15. Strategic Theater Sustain Tasks

Current Capability and Deficiency

The current assessment is “yellow.” The combatant commander coordinates policies and

guidelines with the theater commanders to govern theater restoration operations. Nothing

precludes the COCOM staff from establishing policies and guidelines for joint restoration

operations,, but there is very little in the way of existing doctrine or TTPs to help guide them.

There are no definitive guidelines and policies for joint/multinational theater-/operational-level

operations. Conflicting terminology has the potential to produce operational friction. A

restoration exercise focused on theater restoration operations has not been conducted. A

Restoration Operations (RESTOP) Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) has

been conducted in U.S. Forces, Korea (USFK) with results to be published (TBP).

Doctrine/TTPs have not been developed for operational level and above. Leader education does

not address this issue. CBRND staffs and staffing at all levels is inadequate.

Projected Near/Mid-Term Capability and Deficiency

No other capability is currently projected for the near/mid term. In the mid term, improvements

will be made or initiated. Experiments and exercises focused on theater restoration operations

will be conducted. Lessons learned from RESTOPS ACTD will be integrated into future

exercises and experimentation that looks at issues other than fixed sites. Definitive guidelines

and policies will be developed for joint/multinational theater-level operations. Conflicting

terminology having the potential to produce operational friction will be standardized. The overall

capability will improve to “green” in the near/mid term.

Projected Far-Term Capability and Deficiency

No other capability is 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.

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

“green.”

Current Capability and Deficiency

The current assessment is “yellow.” The combatant commander coordinates theater restoration

operation priorities and provides them to theater commanders to govern the establishment of

joint restoration operation priorities. Nothing precludes the COCOM staff from establishing

restoration priorities based on the current situation, but there is very little in the way of existing

doctrine or TTPs to help guide them. All assessments must be done manually, increasing the

time required to establish priorities when the CBRN situation changes. Changes must be made

manually, and staff familiarity with CBRND issues is limited. A restoration exercise focused on

theater restoration operations has not been conducted. A RESTOP ACTD has been conducted

with results TBP.

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 with the exception that DOTMLPF should improve in some areas

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

Projected Far-Term Capability and Deficiency

Definition

To ensure the integration of strategic deployment, sustainment, and redeployment with ongoing

or planned restoration operations. Key considerations include contamination avoidance by lift

assets, designation of alternate ports of embarkation/debarkation (POEs/PODs), identification of

transload sites for transload of cargo and passengers from uncontaminated to contaminated lift

platforms for movement into contaminated PODs, thorough decontamination of lift platforms,

and redeploying forces to internationally recognized decontamination standards. Aeromedical

evacuation (AE) planning should include TTPs to enable the movement of contagious/

Capability and Deficiency Assessment Summary

Table 15.4-1 discusses the only capability that currently exists to perform the task to the

designated standard. There is only one capability that exists, and no other capability is projected

that will accomplish this task.

Current Capability and Deficiency

The current assessment is “red.” Any COCOM HQ has the basic ability to establish theater

restoration operations guidance for strategic deployment, sustainment, and redeployment

(including noncombatant evacuation operations [NEO] and AE) operations. There are some

deficiencies that negatively impact on the speed and efficiency with which they will be able do

this, and some international standards that must be established to preclude intertheater movement

problems.

Projected Near/Mid-Term Capability and Deficiency

No other capability is currently projected for the near/mid term. Improvements in JTTPs are

forecast in the near/mid term, which should improve the overall capability to “yellow.”

Projected Far-Term Capability and Deficiency

No other capability is 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.

JTTPs, training and exercises, and education will continue to improve leading to a far-term

assessment of “green.” A problem anticipated to extend into the far term is that there is no

universally accepted standard for movement of contaminated cargo and/or the evacuation of

contagious or contaminated casualties/remains.

⁴ Nothing precludes JLOTS planning in response to any sort of contamination and it is anticipated as a requirement for any sort of SPOE/SPOD disruption.

⁵ Limited. Any COCOM staff can develop, identify and monitor the operations of a transload site. However, no TTPs specifically address moving sustainment cargo from

uncontaminated to contaminated lift assets for movement into contaminated PODs. Any such procedures are currently manual, making the process slow, labor-intensive, and

subject to human error.

⁶ Nothing precludes planning of this type. Contamination reports must be immediately available to execute plans.

⁷ Any COCOM HQ can coordinate with the Department of Defense Explosive Safety Board to review and approve plans for the lease, transfer or disposal of DoD real property

when contamination exists or is suspected to exist. There are no internationally accepted standards for decontamination completeness.

⁸ There is no universally accepted standard for movement of contaminated cargo and/or the evacuation of contagious or contaminated casualties/remains.

⁹ While some NEO plans do address CBRN issues to one degree or another, standards established by the joint staff do not exist.

¹⁰ DOTMLPF should improve in all deficient areas as a result of initiatives that use data resulting from focused experimentation.

¹¹ Continued DOTMLPF enhancements will result from exercise and wargame lessons learned.

¹² JTTP will be developed to determine how CBRN status in the theater impacts strategic deployment, sustainment, and/or redeployment.

¹³ JTTP will be developed that specifically addresses establishing PODs/POEs to avoid contaminated areas during deployment, sustainment, and redeployment operations.

Task STSUST 8: Develop TEPs for restoration operation considerations and

activities for assigned theater or designated countries

15.8.1

Functional Area Analysis

15.8.1.1

Definition

To develop Theater Engagement Plans (TEPs) that will allow cooperation and the building of

trust through a combination of restoration operation exercises, training, equipment exchange, and

other cooperative efforts. Many nations that would normally support U.S. initiatives may feel

threatened by hostile neighbors or nations that possess CBRN/TIM weapons. To ensure

cooperation and interoperability, the combatant commander develops TEPs for restoration

operation considerations and activities for assigned theater or designated countries. TEPs that

include restoration operation considerations and activities for assigned theater or designated

countries can help to mitigate reluctance to support the United States. If countries are provided

with the means to restore themselves after CBRN/TIM attacks or if they are assured of U.S.

assistance, they will feel less threatened. In conjunction with interagency partners, CJCS

coordinates “Global Family of Engagement Plan” policy and guidelines to combatant

commanders for restoration operation considerations.

Current Capability and Deficiency

The current assessment is “yellow.” The Combatant Command develops TEPs for restoration

operation considerations and activities for assigned theater or designated countries. Nothing

precludes the COCOM staff from establishing these TEPs now, but there is very little in the way

of existing doctrine or TTPs to help guide them. A TEP is primarily a strategic planning

document intended to link COCOM-planned regional engagement activities with national

strategic objectives. The TEP is based on defense planning guidance. COCOM planned and

supported operations and activities produce multiple benefits in readiness, modernization, and

engagement. However, peacetime military engagement activities must be prioritized to ensure

efforts are focused on those that are of greatest importance, without sacrificing warfighting

capability. Because WMDs represent the most significant threat to global security, they are ideal

candidates for TEPs. TEPs identify the synchronization of these activities on a regional basis and

illustrate the efficiencies gained from regional COCOM engagement activities that support

national strategic objectives.

Projected Near/Mid-Term Capability and Deficiency

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

Capability and Deficiency Assessment Summary

Table 15.10-1 discusses the only capability that currently exists to perform the task to the

designated standard. There is only one capability that exists, and no other capability is projected

that will accomplish this task.

Current Capability and Deficiency

The current assessment is “yellow.” This task has never been attempted by a theater COCOM,

and no training or experience base exists. Any combatant command has the ability to stand up a

JTF using a corps/division-equivalent HQ to form a JTF HQ. There are many deficiencies that

negatively impact on the speed and efficiency with which they will be able to stand up a JTF HQ

with the express purpose of providing command and control of restoration operations.

Projected Near/Mid-Term Capability and Deficiency

No other capability is currently projected for the near/mid term. No 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 future. DOTMLPF should improve in

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

In particular, a UNIFIED ENDEAVOR exercise is projected to enable this task in FY2011.

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

“green.”

15.11 Task STSUST 11: Coordinate the decontamination of strategically significant

areas/terrain

15.11.1

Functional Area Analysis

15.11.1.1

Definition

To develop plans and coordinate mission execution of the decontamination of areas or terrain

that are considered of such strategic significance that they must undergo decontamination.

Although weathering is the preferred decontamination technique for areas/terrain, if a

determination is made that there is no alternative because of the strategic significance of the

area/terrain, the complexity of the decontamination and the large amount of resources required

will require COCOM coordination. An area of strategic significance would probably constitute a

large area or very important transportation nodes and would necessarily involve host nations in

the process.

Capability and Deficiency Assessment Summary

Table 15.13-1 discusses the only capability that currently exists to perform the task to the

designated standard. There is only one capability that exists, and no other capability is projected

that will accomplish this task.

Current Capability and Deficiency

The current assessment is “yellow.” Any COCOM HQ has the basic ability to determine the

impact of restoration operations on theater residual capability, but there are several obstacles that

will prevent meeting the required timeline and hinder the process. 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 COCOM Headquarters was assessed in light of current limited staff use of JWARN and the

anticipated fielding initial operational capability (IOC) of the Joint Effects Model (JEM) Block I

in FY2006 and the IOC of the Joint Operational Effects Federation (JOEF) Block I, Increment I

in FY2008. JOEF will provide a significant CBRN adaptive planning capability for restoration

operations. JEM will provide a single, validated capability to predict and track CBRN and TIM

events and effects. JOEF will provide an operational requirements modeling and simulation

system which accurately predicts CBRN effects on personnel, equipment, and operations and

permit restoration operation planning. Since JEM/JOEF IOC will not be met until FY2006 and

FY 2008, respectively, the time standard for Measure 1 was assessed as “red.” There are no

TTPs that have been developed based on lessons learned from exercises or experimentation.

Concepts, doctrine, and TTPs focusing restoration operation impact on theater residual capability

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 theater CBRND issues. JPME does not currently address this

issue.

Projected Near/Mid-Term Capability and Deficiency

The COCOM will benefit from JEM and JOEF Block I, which will be IOC for the near/mid

term. The time standard for near-/mid-term Measure 1 will be assessed as “green” if the IOC is

met. DOTLPF changes will also improve, but the overall situation will remain “yellow” in the

near/mid term.

Projected Far-Term Capability and Deficiency

No other capability is 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.

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

“green.”

15.14 Task STSUST 14: Plan CBRN elimination operations

15.14.1

Functional Area Analysis

15.14.1.1

Definition

To plan and execute theater CBRN elimination operations. A combatant commander 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

military operations 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: Planning Exploitation (locating, characterizing, and securing CBRN materiel,

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

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

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

and Planning Monitoring and Redirection (monitoring, inspecting, and redirecting/converting

the CBRN infrastructure).

Chapter 16. Operational Sustain Tasks

16.0 Operational Sustain

16.0.1

Introduction

The operational (OP) level of war is where campaigns and major operations are planned,

conducted, and sustained to accomplish strategic objectives within theaters or areas of

operations. Activities at this level link tactics and strategy by establishing operational objectives

needed to accomplish the strategic objectives, sequencing events to achieve the operational

objectives, initiating actions, and applying resources to bring about and sustain these events.

These activities imply a broader dimension of time or space than do tactics; they ensure the

logistic and administrative support of tactical forces and provide the means by which tactical

successes are exploited to achieve strategic objectives. Fourteen OP 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 OPSUST area, restates relevant information from the CBRN Defense

(CBRND) FAA, including a description of each of the 14 OPSUST 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.

16.0.2

FNA Summary

Table 16.0-1 summarizes the overall current and projected capability to perform the OPSUST

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

time frame is assessed as “yellow.” Any operational-level HQ has a team of operational planners

and information command and control specialists, and most have CBRN subject matter experts.

This team of experts has the skill to establish component commander reporting procedures for

restoration requirements, but there are some deficiencies that negatively impact on

standardization and experience levels. A CBRN mobile assessment team could be used to assess

units that are contaminated and assembled on an ad hoc basis at any time from in-house Joint

Task Force (JTF) resources. Prototype Standing JTF (SJTF) staffs must be assessed to determine

their ability to provide mobile assessment teams. This capability has never been attempted or

tested. There is no doctrine that covers this capability. This capability could also be developed in

any new CBRND units that are currently being stood up. Until teams are designated, staffed,

trained and equipped they will be unable to respond to the incident site within 1 hour. While the

staff has the ability to provide JTF command and control of restoration operations, they have

nothing to guide their efforts without the development of specific doctrine and tactics,

techniques, and procedures (TTPs). This doctrine and TTPs cannot be developed without lessons

learned from exercises (none of which have ever been conducted) or experimentation. Until

international standards for decontamination (How clean is “clean”?) are established, intertheater

movement of decontaminated equipment will be problematic. Although significant

improvements are anticipated in the mid term, the projected capability will remain “yellow.”

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.

16.0.3.1

DOTLPF

The DOTLPF solutions identified in this chapter are associated primarily with a lack of

established procedures and TTPs to guide performance of the tasks. TTPs must be developed,

based on lessons learned in exercises and experiments, for the staff to use and to standardize

processes, formats and data elements. Other solutions include the development of leader

education programs, training, and doctrine. There are numerous deficiencies associated with the

JTF staff’s ability to provide mobile assessment teams to assess and determine disposition of

contaminated units, equipment, facilities, or activities. Concepts must be developed that will

guide use of mobile assessment teams to assess and determine disposition of contaminated units,

equipment, facilities, or activities 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

revisions of both doctrine and TTPs. Other solutions include the development of leader education

programs.

16.0.3.2

IMA

An automated system must be developed to provide these capabilities, as well as location (global

positioning system) and unit/activity restoration operation status through component command

unit communication systems into the Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) Battlespace

awareness system. The system must be automatic and provide component command restoration

requirements in accordance with established formats. An automated system to ensure that reports

are received even if the reporting unit is having severe degradation or communication problems

must be developed. The current capability to conduct operational risk assessment of units,

equipment, facilities, activities, or terrain that are contaminated for restoration prioritization and

timing is not automated. The process must be linked to automated systems so that routine data

can be used by automated tools (that must be developed). This will improve speed of assessment.

For Official Use Only

CBRN Functional Needs Analysis/Functional Solution Analysis

Chapter 16. Operational Sustain Tasks

Human out of the loop will improve accuracy if data are reliable. The current capability to assess

the operational impact of required restoration activities is manual. An automated tool will

determine the impact of contaminated units or facilities that must undergo restoration operations

on JTF operations. The system must have integrated analysis tools to predict and reprioritize

restoration requirements based on interaction with JTF J3 operational priorities. This will

improve speed of assessment. The current capability of providing operational guidance to forces

with contaminated units is manual and not automated, slowing down the process. Automated

tools and automatic processes must be developed for assisting commanders and staffs in

providing operational guidance to forces with contaminated units. The system should be

automatic and provide component command degradation information in accordance with

established formats. The system should have integrated analysis tools to predict degradation

impact to critical JTF operations based on interaction with JTF J3 operational priorities.

Information on degradation must be automatically provided to J3 systems so that decisions can

be made on operational priorities or required changes. This could be used in conjunction with a

sensor system on individual vehicles and systems, integrated with an automated system that

immediately provides a real-time assessment of operational degradation. A required materiel

solution for the provision of mobile assessment teams will be a command and control platform to

quickly transport the team to the incident site. It will provide them with all the tools required to

make the assessment, provide them with total protection from any CBRN hazard and allow for

quick and complete decontamination of the command and control platform after the assessment

is complete. The tools onboard can be linked to sensors on the contaminated units, equipment,

facilities providing automatic data feeds en route.

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: Limited reporting procedures exist. Any procedures would be manual.

Non-Materiel Solutions: Doctrine: Refine TTPs on reporting procedures for restoration

requirements. Begin to develop formats for restoration operation requirements and include

them in pertinent joint publications. Developed joint format parameters will be included in

pertinent Service publications. Organization: Prototype SJTF CBRN centers must be

provided with adequate CBRN center staffing to ensure that manual collection of component

command restoration requirements can be performed. Service component CBRN centers

must be assessed to see if they can adequately perform the function of providing manual

restoration requirement reports to the JTF CBRN center. CBRN staffing/training is not

standard across the Services. Refine exercises to develop lessons learned about reporting

procedures for restoration requirements of a JTF. Incorporate lessons learned from

Restoration Operations (RESTOPS) Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD)

into future exercises. Personnel: Provide adequately trained personnel (either specially

trained subject matter experts [SMEs] or unit personnel who receive extra training) for all

units that must report/receive restoration requirements. Staffing of proposed joint “opposing

force” must include personnel who possess adequate joint and CBRN credentials. Personnel

evaluating and mentoring CBRN elements of JTF exercises must possess adequate joint and

CBRN credentials.

Deficiency: Limited restoration exercises.

Non-Materiel Solutions: Doctrine: Develop TTPs for developing exercises for restoration

requirements. Training: Develop training for staffs on reporting procedures for restoration

requirements.

Deficiency: No TTPs have been developed.

Non-Materiel Solutions: Doctrine: Develop TTPs for reporting procedures for restoration

requirements.

Deficiency: There is no leader training/education for JTF restoration operations.

Non-Materiel Solutions: Training: Develop training for staffs on reporting procedures for

restoration requirements. Leadership: Develop leader training for staffs on reporting

procedures for restoration requirements. Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) must

include leader-learning areas for restoration operations considerations at the OP level.
