Immediate Response Authority

Immediate Response Authority (IRA): A Federal military commander’s authority temporarily

to employ resources under their control, subject to any supplemental direction provided by

higher headquarters, and provide those resources to save lives, prevent human suffering,

or mitigate great property damage in response to a request for assistance from a civil

authority, under imminently serious conditions when time does not permit approval

from a higher authority within the United States. Immediate response authority does not

permit actions that would subject civilians to the use of military power that is regulatory,

prescriptive, proscriptive, or compulsory. (DoDD 3025.18)

Commander: For DSCA Immediate Response Authority purposes is limited to only those

Commanders formally appointed in writing IAW AR 600-8-20 AND serving in a Command

Billet.

What constitutes a “civil authority”? “Those elected and appointed officers and employees

who constitute the government of the United States, the governments of the 50 states, the

District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, United States territories, and political

subdivisions thereof” (Joint Publication 1-02)

The DCO for RGN X, along with

DCE X, would deploy to Austin

DCO will coordinate all AE

operations in TX and LA (if

required). The RSV DCO would be

prepared to assist in Austin until

the arrival of the RGN X DCO.

Katrina – Identified need for major improvements in DOD Regional and State pre-

event planning, coordination and preparation with Federal Partners for response to

disasters and catastrophes in the homeland.

One initiative was establishing permanent active-duty Army teams within the ten

Federal Emergency Management Agency regions across the United States.

DCEs are DoD’s forward presence in all 10 FEMA Regions; Tasked with

maintaining situational awareness; interagency planning; building relationships of

trust with State and Federal partners

Defense Coordinating Elements (DCEs) plan for & coordinate DOD capabilities

and requests for DOD assistance in support of a variety of events, including

National Special Security Events, domestic emergencies and other domestic

activities. Integrate DoD support plans in FEMA All Hazards Plans

The DCE's are DOD's first responders in planning for and responding to events to

save lives and protect the American people and their way of life.

Super Storm Sandy showed need for capable coordinated response from DOD to

assist the local, state and federal responders in a disaster.

Background

Defense Coordinating Element (DCE)

UNCLASSIFIED


• A Dual Status Commander (DSC) is a command and control option

“Usual and customary command and control arrangement”

When Federal and State military forces are employed simultaneously in support of

civil authorities

Governor and SecDef mutually agree that such establishment is necessary and

proper

• DSC is normally a National Guard GO

Must have Title 10 orders from COCOM and State commission

Two separate staff elements to help DSC ensure orders remain

separate/distinct

Joint Task Force – State (JTF-State) manned by T32 or SAD (baseline is 17

personnel)

Joint Support Force – Staff Element (JSF-SE) manned by T10

The Dual-Status Commander

and response to domestic emergency/disaster response operations
