REVIEW AND REFINE ASSOCIATED PARTS OF DRAFT BA13 EXERCISE DIRECTIVE

Working. Determined that the changes to Fires play at OLW require description in Part II of the Exercise Directive.

Fires Syndicate Lead drafts paragraph for submission to CDR Holihan.


Incomplete. Requires MOC confirmation of training objectives and B2C2WG structure decision.

DEFINE FIRES ARCHITECTURE Working. Upon confirmation of MOC training,

MOC

OLW & TLW FORMAL CURRICULUM REQR Working. MEB and ESG require SACC training in processes and systems; MOC training required for Fires Cell processes and systems

MEB & ESG identify required process training and availability; MOC Fires Cell does same. All staffs responsible for arranging systems training for personnel.

INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SACEX TRAINING Working. Agreement in concept for two part event. Pt 1 – TLW focus (MEB/ESG); Pt 2 – OLW/TLW (MOC with MEB/ESG/CSG)

Confirm training dates. Syndicate

FIRES ROC DRILL (EMBEDDED WITHIN MRX) Working. Identified need to exercise critical fires process and systems during MRX.

Construct stand alone vignettes that exercise critical fires processes between OLW and TLW nodes.

IDENTIFY FIRES RELATED INFORMATION EXCHANGE REQUREMENTS (IER)

Working. Requires MOC to determine organizational construct for B2C2WG prior to determination of IER.

MOC defines FIRES IER; MEB, ESG and CSG confirm IERs satisfy exercise training objectives.

DEFINE / PUBLISH PROCESSES Working. Upon determination of objectives and organizational structure, MOC develops processes.

OLW OPT Fires cell publishes “Fires Handbook” defining MOC Fires processes.

ORGANIZE COALITION FIRES Working. Command relationships, doctrinal familiarity, and systems availability/access will dictate level of coalition fires exercise play.

Identify Fires connectivity issues upon confirmation of coalition C2 arrangements and systems access.

• Review and refine associated parts of Draft BA13 Exercise Directive

• Provide initial review and inputs for exercise support manning document

• Confirm participants and training objectives

• Determine logistics process in support of training objectives

• Determine level of play of logistics processes at tactical and operational level

• Identify and develop draft report formats

Modified Objectives

• Review and validate 2nd MEB Logistics Chapter of the TACSOP

• Prepare theater logistics plan ISO PH 1 through PH III logistics operations

• Conduct sustainment Phase III operations

• Exercise all Log C2 systems from ship to ship but also from ship to logistics node (CLC2S, TCPT, GCCS-MC)

• Establish Log Command and Control (TACLOG) aboard PCS to direct logistical operations

• Conduct amphibious embark planning in coordination with ESG in order to support tactical level operations

• Review and Validate logistics reports

• Integrate LFSP Operations across the MEB TACLOGS and LFOCS

• Validate UDL in support of TPFDD (include FIE, AE, AFOE, prepo)


Log SyndicateLog Syndicate

• ULNs need to be issued with appropriate JOPES planning guidance from higher (COCOM, JTF, CFMCC) in DEPORD to facilitate planning. Must include ESG assets, NECC, enablers, and MEB forces. Force list by unit type has to be solid before this can happen. Force list drives ALL LOG planning.

• CTF 955.3 “Order” or portion of the Depord must address the following

– Theater assets available for use and process to request for sustainment and re-supply

– Theater logistics nodes by class of supply (i.e. are ammo and MREs both on amethyst)

– Med Log and Casualty routing for theater (level III to level IV)

• Upon receipt of WARNORD plan to request (RFF?) available MPF assets that are post ROS and still in MSC inventory for direct support to MEB/ESG.

– TAK-E tailored for mission

– MSC “black bottom” for AFOE

• Need theater defined; Realistic constraints of MPSRON availability, time distance to CONUS from BA-12 (8 hr fly, 10 day steam) drives answer to Southcom. Allows MSC and CLF to tailor realistic asset and theater support.

Log SyndicateLog Syndicate

- Discussed the scenario design relative to orders process..WARNORD to DEPORD to OPORD, along with associated FRAGOs and how we need some definition of roles, responsibility and authority laid out.

- Added a TPFDD PME to MEB requirements to talk JOPES, TPFDD, FIE,AFOE and who owes what. Suggest that OLW OPT get the same from MFCOM or USFFC planners.

- Medical brought up great point about shift in USMC/USN posture forMED BN going to 15 DOS vice 30 for Class VIII and how that 3rd partycontract support will effect a MEB sized element. Within our windowwe can trigger re-order at D+5 to at least explore what that means..

- Medical also wants to provide or be provided a caps/lims sheet forall ambulatory and casevac platforms for education.

- Across the board we need to educate folks on Log C2 systems..

- GCCS MC inclusion and what it means to everyone? Do we wait forthe MEU experiment to runs its course or do we lean into this one. Acomparative brief on what changes from support now to GCCS-MC may helpeducate folks.
