MISSION PARAMETERS DURATION: MTTS can normally be accomplished within 3 to 5 days, although one day MTTs are common. Actual duration will depend on the amount of training requested and the number of students. Equipment: MTTS usually provide the necessary training aids. Again, this depends on the type of training (e.g., cr weapons training, LEAs may be required to provide their own weapons and ammunition. CONSIDERATIONS: Lead time for request: Rapid Support Unit - 72 hours. Routine 90 days. Actual time is dependant or type of training requested and availability of training team. Submission of annual requests September each year for the next calendar year greatly facilitates planning, preparation, and tasking of appropriate instructors. Annual requests do not require specific class date. Exact dates Can be determined at a later date. B. LEA must have feasible training area. WATER OPERATIONS DESCRIPTION: Includes open water (ocean), riverine, and dive operations. Military units have the capability to insert, extract and navigate in rivers or open water enabling observation of islands or rivers. Dive operations are normally conducted for hull searches of ocean-going essels. SEALS, Special Forces, and Marine Reconnaissance are the military crces of choice for these missions, and these units range in size from 6 to 10 personnel for dive operations to approximately 50 personnel for riverine/open water operations. DURATION: MISSION PARAMETERS Generally 14 to 21 days. EQUIPMENT: Combat rubber raiding craft CRRC, rigid raider craft (RRC), SCUBA, secure communications, global positioning system (GPS), day/night observation devices, navigation charts, medevac capability, and individual weapons for Ecce protection. COMBINED CAPABILITY: Helicopters can be ned with water operations to enhance nsert extract and observation capabilities. 42 CONSIDERATIONS A. Lead time for request: Rapid Support Unit (RSU) (Actionable Intelligence) - 72 hours of Annual Requests requests, including water operations and all other type missions by 1 September for the following calendar year. B. LEA response plan for reaction must be coordinated prior to mission operation order. C. Sites positioned where the possibilit of smuggler-military confrontation is high will require an accompanying LEA. D. National sovereignty issues preclude water operations in the Rio Grande (U.S./Mexican Border) River. ANNEX C: MILITARY SUPPORT AGENCIES The following military organizations are the focus of military support (operational manpower and non-operational equipment/schools only) provided to LEAs in the Operation Alliance area of responsibility: Joint Task Force Six - JTF-6 coordinates all DOD Title 10 (Active and Reserve federal military) support for LEAS within the Southwest Border region (AZ, Southern CA, NM, TX,) to assist them in their mission to detect, deter, disrupt, and smantle illegal drug trafficking organizations. To facilitate coordination that support, JTF-6 has liaison ::cers located in each of the Southwest crder states (see list on page 18). The CF-5 aison officers are available to answer questions, assist with support requests, provide information on ava:lability and capability of military support, and assist with the coordination and de-confliction of military support operations. The entire array of Total Force (Active and Reserve components) DOD rescurces are available to support LEAS subject to certain legal and policy constraints mentioned previously. National Guard (NG) - The Adjutant General tary support to federal, state, and ::: LEAS as directed by the Governor and AC resourced by the National Guard Bureau. The National Guard offers considerable capability to perform military missions support of law enforcement and is not subject to some of the constraints affecting Title 10 forces. Regional Logistic Support Office (RLSO) (El Paso AND Long Beach) - The RLSO is the focal point for local, state, and regional offices of LEAS seeking non-operational logistic and training support. A major element of the RLSO mission is to develop points of contact within the various services and local military installations who will provide timely replies to requests for appropriate military equipment/training from LEAS in order to accomplish their CD mission. The Southwest Border is basically covered by the El Paso office, which is collocated with JTF-6 and Operation Alliance. California is also covered by the Long Beach office, although this office concentrates primarily on assistance requests from agencies north of Fresnc, California. Defen North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) NORAD is assigned the role of air surveillance operations into and over North America. This mission includes responsibly for detection and monitoring of suspected aerial transit of illegal drugs into the U.S. and Canada, integrating NORAD operations into the counterdrug command, control, communications, and intelligence network, and coordinating with other federal agencies engaged in detecting and 45 |
