PP12 Communication Integration

Initial Stakeholder analysis complete

Working draft communication “plan” to include assessment

Communication Framework:• Pacific Partnership (2012) brings enhanced capability, opportunity for subject

matter expert exchange and a venue for broadened regional relationship building at HN invitation

The story of Pacific Partnership (2012):• Will have shared ownership (providers, recipients, enablers) and be told from

these individual perspectives• Will be told by the HN, PNs and NGOs• Will be focused on key, distinctive audiences vice single audience saturation

and will leverage emerging media• Will be synchronized across time and space to ensure consistency (or

approach and message) and stakeholder engagement to achieve desired goals• Will be echoed by other activities, operations and engagements (PVST, SMEE)• Will be captured, assessed and archived

25

Mission Commander Priorities

• CMOC

– Mission Statement– Structure/Deliverable/Cell Manning?

• PDSS Blue

– Philippines site survey; Cambodia survey preparations/site selection.– OIC and AOIC concerned/feedback from Engineers is that current Cambodia Itinerary

is un-executable as written.

• PDSS Gold Preparations

– Confirm / Finalize Participants– Status of: VISAs, FP requirements, medical requirements, passports, travel

arrangements

• PDSS Planning

– Welcome Aboard Package/Pre-deployment Handbook• Putting on APAN website is only a partial solution/select mailings should also

be considered.

– Main Planning Conference (30-31 Jan in San Diego)• What was CPF legal issue with funding Admiral Kidd CC that they had to work

through?

26

Mission Commander Priorities

• Mission Training

– Mission Rehearsal (March 2012)

• Ship to Shore movements (ADVON, Main Body, Teams, etc.)• Communications (Ship, shore and PA releasable products)• MEDCAP• DENCAP• VETCAP• Engineering• COMREL• Partner Nation Interoperability• AT/FP• Key Leader Engagements

– PA/Integrated communications training– Cultural awareness training

• Budget

– Confirm what current funding is available– Concerned a clear path for COMREL funding for mission has not been arranged.– Execution plan?

• Meetings

– CDS 7 (others?) with ETGLANT (07-10 NOV)

– CDS 7 with Project Handclasp (09 DEC)

Engineering Lead Planner Comments (Ref: Cambodia PDSS)

• We have concerns about the feasibility of the proposed Cambodian PDSS itinerary as proposed by the ODC. The draft itinerary sent out will not work given the 1 week timeframe. The proposed itinerary is not feasible for the following reasons:

• It is virtually impossible to link MEDCAP and ENCAP site surveys together. There is a huge difference in the amount of time required at each site location. The engineers will need 3-4 hours at each proposed site to conduct detailed planning. This has been tried before and inevitably the medical planners and waiting for the engineers. It makes absolutely no sense to have the whole team standing around waiting for the engineers

• For planning purposes each portion of this PDSS needs to conduct site surveys independently i.e. medical, engineer, logistics, ops, etc

• If there are 2 or more sites per province the engineers need 4 hours per site plus 3-4 hours per province to conduct research WRT materials and services required for construction.

• Bottom line we can survey 2 potential sites per day. That is 2 construction projects not 2 provinces. If the project proposal is complicated we could spend as much as 8 hours on one site. The problem is we only get one visit to measure, plan, calculate, etc.

28

Engineering Lead Planner Comments (Ref: Cambodia PDSS)

– We also need time to identify the following in the vicinity of each project site:

– Hotels– Hospitals for MEDEVAC– Vendors: Hardware, fuel, services, food, etc.– **These are all required to determine feasibility

• Recommendation: Look at 6-7 sites (not provinces) and ultimately select 3-4. It’s imperative that in order to have MEDEVAC capability and logistics support the sites need to be within 1 hour of Phnom Penh or Sianoukville. This is also important because 50% of the engineers will be aboard Mercy transiting back and forth. Assumption is that the mission commander would like to do site visits during the mission and attend ribbon cutting ceremonies.
