This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The authors advocate the integration of process improvement methods into future Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) operations. They briefly discuss alternative process improvement strategies and their current state of employment in a variety of DoD programs. Methods discussed include Lean Six Sigma, Total Quality Management, and Capability Maturity Models, the utility of such methods is demonstrated, and the value in applying process improvement methods to DSCA operations is articulated. Three recommendations are given to demonstrate how a usable process maturity model can be built and employed for future operations. The monograph concludes by reaffirming the inherent utility of, and advocating for, process improvement techniques as a way to mature future DSCA operations using the dual status commander arrangement"--Publisher's web site.

Book excerpt: This research explored the role of the dual-status commander (DSC) construct during imminent and no-notice disasters through the lens of state-level civilian emergency managers through one primary and three subquestions. The main research question was: What are state-level civilian emergency managers? views about the role of the DSC during imminent and no-notice disasters? The DSC construct is designed to improve the unity of effort among federal and National Guard military forces when they are operating within a state during domestic disasters. The DSC has only recently been employed during imminent and no-notice disasters in support of civil authorities. Little research is available regarding the views civilian emergency managers have of DSCs when they are used in these types of disasters. Addressing this gap adds value to the emergency management profession because civilian emergency managers who have not had a complex disaster in their state may lack familiarity with the DSC construct. Through a qualitative method, a purposefully selected sample of state-level civilian emergency managers were surveyed and interviewed. The data informed the research questions, and results provide emergency management and military professions greater understanding of expectations emergency managers have of DSCs. Emergency managers should know in advance how to work with DSCs assigned to support them because DSCs are supposed to improve delivery of military resources in support of relief priorities and objectives. The results from the study are also intended to improve emergency management doctrine and emergency managers? Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) education programs.
Book Synopsis Toward a Unified Military Response by : Ryan Burke
Download or read book Toward a Unified Military Response written by Ryan Burke and published by . This book was released on 2015-04-09 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2013-14 Army War College Key Strategic Issues List stated: "If Hurricane Sandy is seen as an archetype of a complex catastrophe, then a careful analysis of the effectiveness of the DoD response within the context of dual status commanders [DSCs], lead federal agencies, and state response capabilities needs to be conducted." This monograph does exactly that as it carefully and comprehensively analyzes the DSC-led military response to Hurricane Sandy in New York. Through this lens, it illustrates and discusses the perspectives of the DSC construct and offers recommendations for leveraging existing capabilities and improving those deemed insufficient. Using a case study approach, this analysis addresses notable issues of constitutionality, legality, policy, financial considerations, and even politics, all uniquely situated between individual states' interests and those of the federal government. To provide military and defense officials with a greater understanding of the benefits and limitations of the DSC arrangement during a no-notice/limited-notice incident, this monograph offers objective and systematic documentation of the Sandy response. It concludes by offering a series of actionable recommendations aimed at improving operational decisionmaking, policy, and legislation specifically related to DSCs during no-notice/limited-notice incidents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Neither the United States government nor the Department of Defense has ever achieved unity of command during an unplanned or unforeseen multistate domestic incident. Why is unity of command important during response operations? Joint Publication 3-0, offers the following guidance, 'Unified action is a comprehensive approach that synchronizes, coordinates, and when appropriate, integrates military operations with the activities of other governmental and nongovernmental organizations to achieve unity of effort.' The absence of unity of command creates second and third order effects that detract from the accomplishment of assigned missions and may lead to mission failure. The primary impediment to achieving unity of command is a reluctance of the individual state governors and the president to relinquish control of their assigned forces. Through case studies, this paper examines the reluctance of civil authorities to relinquish control of their assigned forces. It also looks at the current Dual Status Commander (DSC) authorities and proposes an updates - an evolution - of these authorities. In conclusion, a structure is introduced, Domestic Control (DOCON), that intends to address the statutory limitations to unity of command. Achieving unity of command culminates in unity of effort. Following any large-scale domestic incident, a unified effort is required to resolve the incident successfully and to minimize loss of life and property"--Abstract.
Book Synopsis Contingency Dual Status Commander by : William J. Prendergast (IV.)
Download or read book Contingency Dual Status Commander written by William J. Prendergast (IV.) and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the natural disaster Hurricane Katrina, there are many writings concerning command and control (C2) of military forces responding to disasters. The 2007 National Defense Authorization Act attempted to correct the shortcomings in C2, especially with regard to the ability of the President to call the National Guard in times of natural disaster. However, the legislation was not acceptable to the state governors, which led to the removal of the legislation. It is only a matter of time until a disaster forces the federal and state governments to consider C2 while in a complex environment. This paper will examine the challenges of command and control when considering the use of Title 10 and Title 32 forces operating in a coordinated response to a natural or man-made disaster. Taking into account the differing points of view between the federal and state governments, the paper will examine the current proposal to create a Contingency Dual Status Commander during the execution of consequence management operations, the possible points of friction resulting from this solution and a longer-term solution to better align the state and federal military response.
Book Synopsis The Need for Dual Status Command Structure and Its Effects on Air Force Medical Service Response to Defense Support to Civil Authorities by : Javier A. Rodriguez
Download or read book The Need for Dual Status Command Structure and Its Effects on Air Force Medical Service Response to Defense Support to Civil Authorities written by Javier A. Rodriguez and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the course of human history, the military structure is one of the oldest organizations in existence. This structure revolves around a formal hierarchy allowing for orders to be disseminated up and down the chain of command. Hierarchy also ensures a streamlined process to direct large military units. If this structure did not exist within the military, there would be confusion among the roles and responsibilities of those personnel who operate within the construct. Even within a direct, streamlined process that allows for orders and tasks to be relayed, challenges exist. This is true especially when two similar organizations, such as the Federal military and the State military, operate under different legal restrictions, structures, and chains of command, but share common objectives and goals. This interaction between military forces operating under different legal frameworks has caused confusion as to how they approach national disasters, emergencies, and catastrophic events within the United States. In an attempt to provide clearer and a more efficient response, the Dual Status Command (DSC) structure was created to allow for a single chain-of-command for both military forces. But is it truly needed? Does it work? What changes, if any, will be incorporated to how the Federal military, specifically the Air Force Medical Service (AFMS), is employed in support of a natural disaster or national emergency? This paper demonstrates the DSC is an effective command structure without the need of any modifications to the current AFMS response framework."--Introduction.

Book Synopsis Command Of The Air by : General Giulio Douhet
Download or read book Command Of The Air written by General Giulio Douhet and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the pantheon of air power spokesmen, Giulio Douhet holds center stage. His writings, more often cited than perhaps actually read, appear as excerpts and aphorisms in the writings of numerous other air power spokesmen, advocates-and critics. Though a highly controversial figure, the very controversy that surrounds him offers to us a testimonial of the value and depth of his work, and the need for airmen today to become familiar with his thought. The progressive development of air power to the point where, today, it is more correct to refer to aerospace power has not outdated the notions of Douhet in the slightest In fact, in many ways, the kinds of technological capabilities that we enjoy as a global air power provider attest to the breadth of his vision. Douhet, together with Hugh “Boom” Trenchard of Great Britain and William “Billy” Mitchell of the United States, is justly recognized as one of the three great spokesmen of the early air power era. This reprint is offered in the spirit of continuing the dialogue that Douhet himself so perceptively began with the first edition of this book, published in 1921. Readers may well find much that they disagree with in this book, but also much that is of enduring value. The vital necessity of Douhet’s central vision-that command of the air is all important in modern warfare-has been proven throughout the history of wars in this century, from the fighting over the Somme to the air war over Kuwait and Iraq.
