8 NGB Relationships (Federal View) (DODD / NDAA 2012) NGB is under Authority and Control of SecDef CNGB is a principal advisor to SecDef on T32 and SAD SecAR CSA CJCS SECDEF (3.1.1) (3.1.1) (3.1.1) A Joint Activity of the Department of Defense (3.1) Note: Parenthetical references are sections of DODD SecAF CSAF Combatant Commands (5.1.2) CNGB SECDEF CJCS DoD Components (Other than DA/DAF) DHS/FEMA & other Federal Agencies Authority, Direction, and Control Advisory VCNGB (5.1.3) DARNG DANG (5.1.3 & 5.1.4) Communicate National Guard Bureau 8

9 Roles of the Chief, NGB Member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Principal advisor to SECDEF on matters pertaining to non-federalized NG forces and other matters as determined by SECDEF Plans for and coordinates operational employment, as required, with the appropriate State Joint Force Headquarters (JFHQ-State), Combatant Commanders, the Chairman, the Secretaries and Chiefs of the Army and the Air Force, and the Federal Interagency (Force Coordinator) Supports the development of operational capabilities, concepts, and plans for Domestic Operations 9

10 National Guard Bureau Functions Function as the channel of communications Collects and correlates data from the States and provides a common operating picture among the States and forward to the appropriate Federal Departments (we need to lean forward and think of cloud services) Coordinates NG support between States Ensures trained and ready NG forces are available for all types of operations and contingencies Operates the National Guard Coordination Center (NGCC) 10

11 NGB Coordination Center (NGCC) Executes NGB J-5 and J-35 plans for domestic civil support operations and provides situation reports to NGB Maintains situational awareness of potential domestic operations within the state Initiates NG alert, warning, and recall system Initiates and supports actions for executing domestic missions Coordinates and accounts for NG resources, health, safety and welfare of personnel, state pay, and reimbursement for use of NG resources Provides situational awareness to all interagency and mission partners in the form of EXSUMS and SITREPS. (Need to incorporate geospatial services as part of our business plan) NGCC desk officers contact the states to seek information in case of a known incident (Need to geospatially enable) 11

30 Replace "need-to-know" culture with "need-to-share". (The 9/11 Commission Report) Each intelligence agency has its own security practices, outgrowths of the Cold War. Current security requirements nurture overclassification and excessive compartmentation of information among agencies. There are no punishments for not sharing information. Agencies uphold a need-to-know culture of information protection rather than promoting a need-to-share culture of integration. Recommendation: Information procedures should provide incentives for sharing, to restore a better balance between security and shared knowledge. 30

31 FEMA Threats and Hazards Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) Identify the threats and hazards of concern: Identify the emergency situations that could happen in your community. Give the threats and hazards context: Describe how a threat or hazard could happen in your community, and when and where it could happen. Examine the core capabilities using the threats and hazards: Determine how each threat or hazard could affect the core capabilities designed to accomplish the National Preparedness Goal. Set capability targets: Using the information defined in the first three steps, set the level of capability a community needs to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from its risks. Apply the results: Use the capability targets to decide how to use resources from the whole community. 31

33 State-Level National Guard HLD-HS-CS Planning and THIRA Development Team This team is suggested to be the focus of State-Level HLD-HS-CS National Guard planning efforts with the respected state Emergency Management / Homeland Security Agencies, consists of: Senior Planner Officer o Attached to the SEOC Planning function during emergencies o Assists with State EM Plans creation Planning NCO o Knowledge base for State NG capabilities and responsible to Geo Reference and serve (share) state NG information (SSA Czar ) o Attached to the DCO/DCE during emergencies as a State NG Capabilities Liaison Intelligence NCO o Interacts with State intelligence sections (HS, EM, Fusion Center) o Assists with developing analytical tools (i.e. GIS)

34 Developing and Maintaining Interoperability 34

35 Council of Governors The group was established in January 2010 in order to strengthen the partnership between federal and state governments in protecting the nation against all manner of threats, including terrorism and natural disasters. Council Members (newly updated) Governor Terry Branstad, Iowa Co-Chair Governor Martin O Malley, Maryland Co-Chair (SSA Champion) Governor Jan Brewer, Arizona Governor Dannel Malloy, Connecticut Governor Jack Markell, Delaware Governor Neil Abercrombie, Hawaii Governor Jay Nixon, Missouri Governor Brian Sandoval, Nevada Governor Bob McDonnell, Virginia Governor Matt Mead, Wyoming 35

36 Council of Governors Joint Action Plan One of the first actions was to create a Joint Action Plan based on Katrina AAR. Anticipate a refreshed review with Sandy behind us (*) and an updated slate of CoG members. - Establish Dual-Status Commanders in each state - Provide Shared Situation Awareness - Create Joint Reception, Staging and Onward Integration (JRSOI) practices and sites - Develop Mission Assignment / Pre-scripted Mission Assignment Sets (Force Packages; Mission Readiness Packages) -Planning * As of 19 Feb, NY had 11 Soldiers on State Active Duty 36

37 CNGB Joint Risk Assessment Recommendations: C1. Establish NGB Joint DOMOPS Unity of Effort IPT, with its Board of Directors (ANGRC/ARNGRC/NGB Joint Staff, Chaired by VCNGB. C4. Re-establish Task Force for Emergency Response (TFER) planning and coordination process, led by FEMA.

38 CNGB Joint Risk Assessment C6. Expand the successful National Guard Strategic Outreach, Partnering, Collaboration activities and develop Curriculum with FEMAs Emergency Management Institute (EMI) for all Emergency Managers and include critical tasks into FEMA Region-based JCSsponsored NGCS Patriot exercises C7. Shaping the Environment - CNGB meets routinely with organizations with civic leaders and other organizations with like-missions and incentives to save lives, reduce human suffering and protect property

45 Ongoing Efforts (continued) Strategic Imperatives: 1. Establish Esri software ELA to include DANG 2. Recommend a GIS configuration design that each state NG can implement 3. Deploy a centralized cataloging system called ArcGIS Portal for the NG 4. Deployment of a User Defined Operating Picture in each state. 5. Complete work on the NG Domestic Operations GECONOPS

51 Portal Discussion Geospatial Portal is a full-featured, configurable web application that can be used for finding, viewing, querying, analyzing and consuming geospatial data and web services; in short a managed cataloging system. Common Appliance for Maps, Apps, Data and GIS Techie Sharing It can also provide an environment for GIS Content Authors (Technicians) to collaborate

52 Data and Service Sharing Think of the GIS Portal as being a common storage area for data and (ArcGIS) Rest Services accessible by your communities Dir ANG ANG Wings ANG Wings A1 DARNG Task Forces A2 PORTAL NGB JFHQ-State JFHQ-State A3 A4 A5 A5 A5 With the uniqueness of the ANG hosting environment, the.mil community can have access, greatly expanding SA and SSA = Connections through the portal
