JPMES Use Simultaneous Deployment Capability 2xJPMT, 4xJPRT, and 2xPMSAT Capabilities/Limitations Deployment limited by primary theater PMRC mission PMSAT Deploy within 12 hours of notice JPMT and JPRT Deploy within 12 hours of notice May deploy for 14 days without augmentation Requires on site base operation support (BOS) Must be directly supported by a theater PMRC
JPMT PM enabler consisting of 4 personnel ( 1 operations officer, 2 nurses and 1 PMC/TRAC2ES specialist). Teams may be augmented with a Team Chief, Trainer/Liaison, or a Flight Surgeon Team typically deploys to a state/lead agency Emergency Operations Center, to provide medical regulating support during a domestic response or military contingency operation Provides PM subject matter expertise to Joint Regional Medical Planners (JRMPs) ESF-8, HHS, State, Guard health officials JPRT & PMSAT

Roles and Responsibilities cont The PMRC will validate and spreadsheet the PMRs for mission planning and manifesting in collaboration with TACC. For domestic response a contingency mission manifest (reverse TUCs/Form 5) will be created for distribution to EOC, FCC, JPMT, and JPRT. The JPMT will work with the state EOC representative to ensure ground trans is coordinated per local emergency plan Remain in constant contact with all other JPMES teams to ensure that real time/accurate information is being tracked and provided
PMSAT Deploys to the Joint Field Office as part of the Defense Coordinating Element (DCE) 1+ person team O5-O6 (PM Subject Matter Expert) E-5/7 (TRAC2ES Expert) Provides PM subject matter expertise to Joint Regional Medical Planners (JRMPs) ESF-8, HHS, State, Guard health officials Provides JPMES Teams necessary Top Cover
