Operation Orders – Five Paragraph Format
(Ref: FM 6-0, Appendix C, Figure C-2, para 1, Situation)
1. (U) Situation. The situation paragraph describes the conditions of the operational environment that
impact operations in the following subparagraphs:
a. (U) Area of Interest. Describe the area of interest. Refer to Annex B (Intelligence) as required.
b. (U) Area of Operations. Describe the area of operations. Refer to the appropriate map by its
subparagraph under references, for example, “Map, reference (b).” See Appendix 2 (Operation
Overlay) to Annex C (Operations) as required.
1) (U) Terrain. Describe the aspects of terrain that impact operations. Refer to Annex B
(Intelligence) as required.
2) (U) Weather. Describe the aspects of weather that impact operations. Refer to Annex B
(Intelligence) as required.
c. (U) Enemy Forces. Identify enemy forces and appraise their general capabilities. Describe the
enemy’s composition, disposition, location, strength, and probable courses of action. Identify
adversaries and known or potential terrorist threats within the area of operations. Refer to Annex
B (Intelligence) as required.
d. (U) Friendly Forces. Briefly identify the missions of friendly forces and the objectives, goals, and
missions of civilian organizations that impact the issuing headquarters in the following
subparagraphs:
1) (U) Higher Headquarters Mission and Intent. Identify and state the mission and commander’s
intent for headquarters two levels up and one level up from the issuing headquarters.
(a) (U) Higher Headquarters Two Levels Up. Identify the higher headquarters two echelons
above (for example, Joint Task Force-18).
(1) (U) Mission.
(2) (U) Commander’s Intent.
(b) (U) Higher Headquarters. Identify the higher headquarters one echelon above (for
example, 1st [U.S.] Armored Division).
(1) (U) Mission.
(2) (U) Commander’s Intent.
2) (U) Missions of Adjacent Units. Identify and state the missions of adjacent units and other
units whose actions have a significant impact on the issuing headquarters.
e. (U) Interagency, Intergovernmental, and Nongovernmental Organizations. Identify and state the
objective or goals and primary tasks of those non-Department of Defense organizations that have
a significant role within the area of operations. Refer to Annex V (Interagency Coordination) as
required.
f. (U) Civil Considerations. Describe the critical aspects of the civil situation that impact
operations. Refer to Appendix 1 (Intelligence Estimate) to Annex B (Intelligence) as required.
g. (U) Attachments and Detachments. List units attached to or detached from the issuing
headquarters. State when each attachment or detachment is effective (for example, on order, on
commitment of the reserve) if different from the effective time of the OPLAN or OPORD. Do not
repeat information already listed in Annex A (Task Organization).
h. (U) Assumptions. List assumptions used in the development of the OPLAN or OPORD.
H-2
(Ref: FM 6-0, Appendix C, Figure C-2, para 2, Mission)
2. (U) Mission. State the unit’s mission—a short description of the who, what (task), when, where, and
why (purpose) that clearly indicates the action to be taken and the reason for doing so.
(Ref: FM 6-0, Appendix C, Figure C-2, para 3, Execution)
3. (U) Execution. Describe how the commander intends to accomplish the mission in terms of the
commander’s intent, an overarching concept of operations, schemes of employment for each
warfighting function, assessment, specified tasks to subordinate units, and key coordinating
instructions in the subparagraphs below.
a. (U) Commander’s Intent. Commanders develop their intent statement personally. The
commander’s intent is a clear, concise statement of what the force must do and conditions the
force must establish with respect to the enemy, terrain, and civil considerations that represent the
desired end state. It succinctly describes what constitutes the success of an operation and
provides the purpose and conditions that define that desired end state. The commander’s intent
must be easy to remember and clearly understood two echelons down. The commander’s intent
includes:
Purpose–an expanded description of the operation’s purpose beyond the “why” of the
mission statement.
Key tasks–those significant activities the force as a whole must perform to achieve the
desired end state.
End state–a description of the desired future conditions that represent success.
b. (U) Concept of Operations. The concept of operations is a statement that directs the manner in
which subordinate units cooperate to accomplish the mission and establishes the sequence of
actions the force will use to achieve the end state. It is normally expressed in terms of the
commander’s desired operational framework as discussed in ADRP 3-0. It states the principal
tasks required, the responsible subordinate units, and how the principal tasks complement one
another. Normally, the concept of operations projects the status of the force at the end of the
operation. If the mission dictates a significant change in tasks during the operation, the
commander may phase the operation. The concept of operations may be a single paragraph,
divided into two or more subparagraphs, or if unusually lengthy, summarize here with details
located in Annex C (Operations). If the concept of operations is phased, describe each phase in a
subparagraph. Label these subparagraphs as “Phase” followed by the appropriate Roman
numeral, for example, “Phase I.” If the operation is phased, all paragraphs and subparagraphs
of the base order and all annexes must mirror the phasing established in the concept of
operations. The operation overlay and graphic depictions of lines of effort help portray the
concept of operations and are located in Annex C (Operations).
c. (U) Scheme of Movement and Maneuver. Describe the employment of maneuver units in
accordance with the concept of operations. Provide the primary tasks of maneuver units
conducting the decisive operation and the purpose of each. Next, state the primary tasks of
maneuver units conducting shaping operations, including security operations, and the purpose of
each. For offensive tasks, identify the form of maneuver. For defensive tasks, identify the type of
defense. For stability tasks, describe the role of maneuver units by primary stability tasks. If the
operation is phased, identify the main effort by phase. Identify and include priorities for the
reserve. Refer to Annex C (Operations) as required.
1) (U) Scheme of Mobility/Countermobility. State the scheme of mobility/countermobility
including priorities by unit or area. Refer to Annex G (Engineer) as required.
2) (U) Scheme of Battlefield Obscuration. State the scheme of battlefield obscuration, including
priorities by unit or area. Refer to Appendix 9 (Battlefield Obscuration) to Annex C
(Operations) as required.
3) (U) Scheme of Information Collection. Describe how the commander intends to use
reconnaissance missions and surveillance tasks to support the concept of operations. Include
H-3
the primary reconnaissance objectives. Refer to Annex L (Information Collection) as
required. (Note: Army forces do not conduct reconnaissance missions and surveillance
within the United States and its territories. For domestic operations, this paragraph is titled
“Information Awareness and Assessment” and the contents of this paragraph comply with
Executive Order 12333.)
d. (U) Scheme of Intelligence. Describe how the commander envisions intelligence supporting the
concept of operations. Include the priority of effort for situation development, targeting, and
assessment. State the priority of intelligence support to units and areas. Refer to Annex B
(Intelligence) as required.
e. (U) Scheme of Fires. Describe how the commander intends to use fires to support the concept of
operations with emphasis on the scheme of maneuver. State the fire support tasks and the purpose
of each task. State the priorities for, allocation of, and restrictions on fires. Refer to Annex D
(Fires) as required.
f. (U) Scheme of Protection. Describe how the commander envisions protection supporting the
concept of operations. Include the priorities of protection by unit and area. Include survivability.
Address the scheme of operational area security, including security for routes, bases, and critical
infrastructure. Identify tactical operating forces and other reaction forces. Use subparagraphs
for protection categories (for example, air and missile defense and explosive ordnance disposal)
based on the situation. Refer to Annex E (Protection) as required.
g. (U) Cyber Electromagnetic Activities. Describe how cyber electromagnetic activities (including
cyberspace operations, electronic warfare and spectrum management operations), supports the
concept of operations. Refer to Appendix 12 (Cyber Electromagnetic Activities) to Annex C
(Operations) as required. Refer to Annex H (Signal) for defensive cyberspace operations, network
operations and spectrum management operations as required.
h. (U) Stability Tasks. Describe how stability tasks support the concept of operations. Describe how
the commander envisions the conduct of stability tasks in coordination with other organizations.
(See ADRP 3-07.) If other organizations or the host nation cannot provide for civil security,
restoration of essential services, and civil control, then commanders with an assigned area of
operations must do so with available resources, request additional resources, or request relief for
these requirements from higher headquarters. Commanders assign specific responsibilities for
stability tasks to subordinate units in paragraph 3j (Tasks to Subordinate Units) and paragraph
3k (Coordinating Instructions). Refer to Annex C (Operations) and Annex K (Civil Affairs
Operations) as required.
i. (U) Assessment. Describe the priorities for assessment and identify the measures of effectiveness
used to assess end state conditions and objectives. Refer to Annex M (Assessment) as required.
j. (U) Tasks to Subordinate Units. State the task assigned to each unit that reports directly to the
headquarters issuing the order. Each task must include who (the subordinate unit assigned the
task), what (the task itself), when, where, and why (purpose). Use a separate subparagraph for
each unit. List units in task organization sequence. Place tasks that affect two or more units in
paragraph 3k (Coordinating Instructions).
k. (U) Coordinating Instructions. List only instructions and tasks applicable to two or more units not
covered in unit SOPs.
1) (U) Time or condition when the OPORD becomes effective.
2) (U) Commander’s Critical Information Requirements. List commander’s critical information
requirements (CCIRs).
3) (U) Essential Elements of Friendly Information. List essential elements of friendly
information (EEFIs).
4) (U) Fire Support Coordination Measures. List critical fire support coordination or control
measures.
5) (U) Airspace Coordinating Measures. List critical airspace coordinating or control measures.
6) (U) Rules of Engagement. List rules of engagement. Refer to Appendix 11 (Rules of
H-4
Engagement) to Annex C (Operations) as required. (Note: For operations within the United
States and its territories, title this paragraph “Rules for the Use of Force”).
7) (U) Risk Reduction Control Measures. State measures specific to this operation not included
in unit SOPs. They may include mission-oriented protective posture, operational exposure
guidance, troop-safety criteria, and fratricide avoidance measures. Refer to Annex E
(Protection) as required.
8) (U) Personnel Recovery Coordination Measures. Refer to Appendix 13 (Personnel Recovery)
to Annex E (Protection) as required.
9) (U) Environmental Considerations. Refer to Appendix 5 (Environmental Considerations) to
Annex G (Engineer) as required.
10) (U) Soldier and Leader Engagement. State commander’s guidance for target audiences and
reporting requirements.
11) (U) Other Coordinating Instructions. List in subparagraphs any additional coordinating
instructions and tasks that apply to two or more units, such as the operational timeline and
any other critical timing or events.
(Ref: FM 6-0, Appendix C, Figure C-2, para 4, Sustainment)
4. (U) Sustainment. Describe the concept of sustainment, including priorities of sustainment by unit or
area. Include instructions for administrative movements, deployments, and transportation—or
references to applicable appendixes—if appropriate. Use the following subparagraphs to provide the
broad concept of support for logistics, personnel, and health service support. Provide detailed
instructions for each sustainment subfunction in the appendixes to Annex F (Sustainment).

Time Zone Used Throughout the OPORD: UNIFORM.
Task Organization: See Annex A (Task Organization).
1. Situation.
a. Area of Interest. This operation’s area of interest includes the area defined as AO CAVILL by
USARNORTH.
b. Area of Operations (AO). OPERATION SUMMONER REPOSE will take place within TF YOMI’s
AO SCOBEE. AO SCOBEE is delineated by the AO GAGARIN (TF YOMI AO) and AO HELSE
(76 ID AO) to the north, AO GRISSOM (TF YOMI AO) to the west, AO KOMAROV (TF YOMI
AO) to the southwest, and AO EMERALD (76 ID) to the east
(1) Terrain. See Annex B for a description of the Pacific Northwest terrain.
(2) Weather.
(a) Temperatures. Average temperatures in western Washington (Tacoma) range from
47° /36° in December (H/L). At altitude along the slopes of the Cascades temperatures and
weather conditions are significantly different with temperatures averaging 33° /21° (H/L) in
H-6
December.
(b) Precipitation. Currently AO SCOBEE has been undergoing record rainfall since mid-
October. This precipitation has kept all bodies of water within AO SCOBEE at near
constant flood levels, which in turn has affected traffic ability of unpaved roadways and
cross country travel by heavy vehicles. In addition, the increased ground water and
earthquake activity has increased the likelihood of additional mudslides (see discussion
below) throughout AO SCOBEE. Finally, the persistent moisture will both increase the
likelihood and severity of cold weather injuries throughout this operation.
(c) Winter Storm. Meteorologists with the National Weather Service in Seattle have
confirmed the onset of a winter storm bringing high winds, icing conditions on asphalt,
an expected 3-4 inches of snow in AO SCOBEE, and 7-9 inches of snow along the
Cascade Range’s eastern face. All precipitation is expected to be complete NLT
281800(U)NOV2018. Temperatures in the aftermath of the storm are expected to remain
between 27-33 degrees Fahrenheit through 1 DEC.
(d) Weather Effects on 2-159 IN Courses of Action (COA). The increased precipitation,
flooding rivers/streams, icy conditions, and saturated ground will make movement
treacherous throughout AO SCOBEE. In addition, poor weather conditions will make
ORTING recovery operations treacherous, with increased probability of local ground
shifting / mudslides. Lastly, the cold weather conditions will not only increase the
possibility of frostbite, trench foot, or other cold weather injuries, but make Soldiers
more lethargic and accident prone.
c. Natural Disasters.
(1) Orting.
(a) At 230313(U)NOV18 a succession of magnitude 4.0-6.0 earthquakes began to strike the
MOUNT RAINIER region in Washington state. The earthquakes triggered a landslide
followed by lahar that traveled down the Puyallup River valley. Local authorities report that
the Lahar Warning System (LWS) functioned, but roughly 20% of the sirens in Pierce
County failed to sound for various reasons. In addition, the Puyallup River was swollen by
recent record rain, and thus the flood wave that preceded the lahar was both swifter and
stronger than most models had predicted. Combined, these two factors meant that the lahar
flow struck the town of ORTING around 0339-0340 (based on stopped clocks / watches
recovered from deceased victims downstream) rather than the approximately 40 minutes
expected in city planning.
(b) Casualties in ORTING have been extensive. Due to the Thanksgiving Holiday, many more
individuals were in town visiting relatives than under normal circumstances. Visitors’
unfamiliarity with lahar escape routes, car accidents, and the flood wave destroying several
bridges exacerbated the phenomenon’s inherent deadliness. Local officials’ present estimates
are being refined to roughly 2,500 dead / missing as additional reports of visitors in the
vicinity have arrived. As the last living survivor was recovered at 240400(U)NOV, local
government have officially designated this as a full recovery operation.
(c) The lahar raised the Puyallup River’s level above flooding further downstream from
ORTING. In addition, debris from ORTING has begun to accumulate in the river itself,
H-7
causing the stream to begin widening into surrounding farmland. The increased precipitation
from the winter storm has already begun causing flooding in
PUYALLUP, TACOMA, SUMNER and FIFE.
(d) There have been over 85 aftershocks of 2.0-3.5 magnitude in AO SCOBEE over the past 48
hours, with an additional 3.7 aftershock on 24 NOV. These continued earthquakes have
made rescue and recovery operations difficult in ORTING. The 24 NOV aftershock caused
lahar material to shift and killed 5 local officials attempting to oversee rescue operations.
Additional ground movement has made it difficult to determine locations over the town’s
original layout.
(2) The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has declared MOUNT RAINIER to be under a
volcano advisory due to information received from sensors monitored by the Cascade
Volcano Observatory (CVO) and Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN). Specifically,
the western face of Mount Rainier has now bulged approximately 75 feet across a two mile
radius during the recent earthquake swarms. This is suggestive of major magma movement
beneath the mountain’s surface. The USGS has now stated it will upgrade MOUNT
RAINIER to watch status NLT 27 NOV unless the bulge subsides.
(3) MOUNT RAINIER’s activity has also affected adjacent faults. Eight earthquakes greater
than 2.5 have struck SEATTLE, TACOMA, and CENTRALIA since 24 NOV, with the
greatest magnitude being a 3.2 in SEATTLE at 260200(U)NOV. Damage in all cases has
been localized, but there have been at least a dozen injuries and one fatality. The USGS has
some concerns that an eventual eruption may cause a shallow, 4-5.0 magnitude earthquake in
the SEATTLE area.
d. Friendly Forces.
(1) Higher Headquarters’ Mission and Intent.
(a) 76 ID Mission. 76 ID deploys to AO CAVILL in order to provide assistance to local, state,
tribal, and federal agencies supporting MOUNT RAINIER rescue, recovery, and disaster
mitigation efforts.
(b) 76 ID Intent. My intent is to leverage 76 ID’s equipment, personnel, and capabilities in a
manner that enhances local, state, tribal, and federal entities response to this disaster. End
state of this operation will see TF PLINY providing communications and control capabilities
to FEMA Region X and TFs YOMI, MARA, and LAMIA while mitigating the possible
impact of a MOUNT RAINIER eruption that occurs before 31 MAR 19.
(c) TF YOMI Mission. TF YOMI conducts road movement via designated routes to AO SPIRIT
NLT 271900(U)NOV18 in order to enable the completion of TF PLIMY directed DSCA
tasks. O/O, TF YOMI provides assistance to local, state, tribal, and federal agencies
supporting MOUNT RAINIER rescue, recovery, and disaster mitigation efforts in AO
SPIRIT.
(d) TF YOMI Intent. My intent is to leverage 76 ID’s equipment, personnel, and capabilities in a
manner that enhances local, state, tribal, and federal entities response to this disaster. End
state of this operation will see TF PLINY providing communications and control capabilities
to FEMA Region X and TFs YOMI, MARA, and LAMIA while mitigating the possible
impact of a MOUNT RAINIER eruption that occurs before 31 MAR 19.
H-8
(2) Missions of Adjacent Units.
(a) USAFNORTH. United States Air Forces North provides fixed-wing airlift, air
Incident Awareness and Assessment (IAA), and space support to OPERATION
RAINIER forces tasked to assist Washington State and Federal authorities with disaster
relief operations. In addition, USAFNORTH is prepared to provide airborne command
and control (C2) / air traffic control, construction and power generation assistance for
FEMA Region X in the case of an interruption of services due to a MOUNT RAINIER
eruption.
(b) TF LAMIA. TF LAMIA will move via a combination of rotary-wing assets and road
networks to AOs EMERALD and RUE to assist the NPS and local, state, tribal, and
federal agencies in evacuating the area immediately adjacent to MOUNT RAINIER.
(c) Washington National Guard (WA-NG). The WA-NG remains under the control of
Washington’s Governor in order to assist in law enforcement missions throughout
USARNORTH’S AO CAVILL. WA-NG units are currently focused on maintaining law
and order and enforcing curfew throughout 76 ID AOs HELSE and SPIRIT. The WA-
NG is experiencing some disruption due to the ORTING disaster, NG members /
dependents in the region likely to be struck by a MOUNT RAINIER eruption, and the
holiday season’s disruption of the activation process. The Washington Adjutant General
(WA-AG) has established the state EOC at Camp Murray, with that headquarters
controlling all WA-NG west of MOUNT RAINIER.
(d) FORT LEWIS. X Corps support assets provide all classes of supply from AA LEWIS to
TF YOMI elements in order to facilitate OPERATION GAIA RESPONSE.
(e) United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The USACE’s Northwest
Division supports TF PLINY’s efforts via providing civil engineering, water resource,
environmental protection and restoration expertise to units operating within AO
CAVILL. Primary support will originate with the Seattle District office, with assigned
personnel moving into AO SCOBEE in order to determine the impact of the ORTING
lahar on local waterways, determine the environmental impact of ORTING debris /
hazmat on local bodies of water, and coordinating with TF YOMI engineers on
assessing/repairing transportation infrastructure.
(f) 3-552 IN (AO GRISSOM). 3-552 IN conducts road movement along ASR BANE to AO
GRISSOM in order to assist local, state, tribal, and federal agencies with disaster
mitigation and relief efforts.
(g) 3-779 IN (AO GAGARIN). 3-779 IN conducts road movement along ASR STARK to
AO GAGARIN in order to assist local, state, tribal, and federal agencies with disaster
mitigation and relief efforts.
e. Interagency, Intergovernmental, and Nongovernmental Organizations. The POTUS granted the
Governor of the State of Washington’s request for Federal assistance on 231000(U)NOV18. The
current Federal disaster declaration delineates the area for a 35-mile radius surrounding MOUNT
RAINIER to be suffering a major disaster as per the Stafford Act. The following government
agencies are conducting operations in support of this disaster declaration:
H-9
(1) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA Region X serves as the lead
government agency responding to the MOUNT RAINIER disaster. FEMA Region X has begun
shifting its headquarters functions from BOTHELL, WA to YAKIMA in order to facilitate
coordination with DoD and other agencies. FEMA’s current response plan is to erect emergency
shelters at various sporting venues and open spaces throughout AO CAVILL in order to house
potential refugees. In addition, FEMA will preposition emergency stocks of food, medical
supplies, and recovery assets near areas that will likely be affected by a MOUNT RAINIER
eruption. 2-159 IN will facilitate these operations in AO SCOBEE by assisting in the
construction of facilities at AAs ROC and HEXAPUMA while simultaneously providing
manpower, transportation, and engineer assets for other FEMA tasks.
(2) United States Geological Survey (USGS). The USGS provides early warning and subject matter
expertise with regards to earthquake / volcanic threats within AO CAVILL. The USGS’s CVO
and Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN) will continue to operate as currently manned
due to the disruption which would be caused by a shift to YAKIMA. 2-159 IN will assist the
USGS in maintaining / replacing PNSN sensors and equipment via providing ground
transportation where necessary.
(3) Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA will be conducting regular inspections of
emergency blood supplies as part of their standard duties. In addition, the FDA issued guidance
on 26 NOV that will govern the transfer of blood supplies between DoD, state, and private
medical facilities in order to prevent violation of applicable Federal regulations / black market
activity.
(4) United States National Park Service (NPS). The NPS is currently conducting operations to clear
Mount Rainier National Park of all civilians. The amount of area to be covered, weather
conditions, and damaged road network in the area around MOUNT RAINIER has made this a
task they are unable to conduct with their current assets. 2-159 IN will aid in this process across
AO SCOBEE.
(5) National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Due to their responsibilities with
regards to maintaining waterways and researching atmospheric conditions, NOAA personnel
may be active in AO SCOBEE. 2-159 MAIN will track NOAA personnel throughout AO
SCOBEE and lend assistance as requested.
(6) Washington State Government. All Washington State agencies are currently focused on disaster
mitigation as their primary responsibility. The Washington State governor has declared martial
law in those areas directly threatened by MOUNT RAINIER. Areas of emphasis are as follows:
(a) Curfew. As noted above, the governor has enacted a 1900-0600 curfew throughout AO
CAVILL for the next 90 days or a MOUNT RAINIER eruption. Violators of this curfew are
to be detained for questioning. SUMMONERS personnel will notify local law enforcements
of any personnel they detect moving within AO SCOBEE in an unofficial capacity. It is
possible that TF YOMI assistance may be required to construct shelter for detainees.
(b)M/ASR Movement. MSR JESSE has begun alternating north / south directional flow as of
260001NOV18 in order to facilitate evacuation of areas directly threatened by possible
MOUNT RAINIER lahars. This directional flow is controlled by Washington State Patrol
and WA-NG checkpoints, and TF YOMI personnel may be required to augment these
locations. ASRs SAINT and CASSIDY may be similarly restricted pending analysis of
traffic patterns, with a plan to be outline NLT 271200(U)NOV.

(c) Evacuation plans. The current Washington State evacuation plan is to give priority to all
traffic moving from known lahar areas. The governor announced this plan at
260615(U)NOV, and implementation began with the town of ORTING. Due to the
inclement weather, what was expected to be a 96 hour process may now take over 7 days.
TF YOMI may have to provide limited transportation of civilian personnel in AO
SPIRIT if requested by local authorities. In addition, all units will be prepared to man
additional checkpoints, provide civilian vehicle recovery / movement.
(d) Washington State Adjutant General. The WA-AG, by covenant between
Washington and other regional states, currently acts as the commander for all
National Guard forces within Washington. After consultation with the Secretary of Defense,
WA governor, state governors, and CG, 76 ID, the WA-AG has placed out of state NG units
under the tactical control of TF PLINY. The memorandum of agreement to this effect as well
as the legal opinion of the states’ attorneys general and Attorney General of the United States
indicating it is in compliance with applicable Federal laws has been retained at TF PLINY
MAIN, TF YOMI and USNORTHCOM headquarters. Direct coordination between 2-159 IN
personnel and NG entities is authorized.
(e) Washington Department of Health (WA-DOH). The WA-DOH has requested urgent
mortuary affairs assistance in and around ORTING. The violence of the lahar flows,
terrain displacement, and large number of out of state dead has overwhelmed the WA-
DOH’s capacity to process casualties in a timely manner. TF CHARON has been
established linking DoD, DoJ, state government, and out of state civilian mortuary
capabilities in order to facilitate operations in ORTING. TF CHARON personnel will
operate in parallel with 2-159 IN throughout AO SCOBEE, with direct coordination
between SUMMONER commanders and CHARON personnel authorized. In no
circumstances are TF CHARON personnel authorized to direct the movement or
operations of 2-159 IN personnel.
f. Civil Considerations. The civil infrastructure throughout AO SCOBEE is vulnerable to volcanic
activity due to the proximity of critical road, power, and water treatment plants to likely lahar
flows. Within the town of ORTING, destruction of infrastructure is nearly total. Commander, 2-
159 IN has already begun conducting coordination with ORTING, county, and Washington state
officials to determine what civil infrastructure should be prioritized after rescue and recovery
operations.
g. Attachments and Detachments. See Annex A (Task Organization).
h. Assumptions. 2-159 IN is operating under the following assumptions for the duration of this
operation:
(1) There will be 24-48 hours warning of a major (i.e., Volcanic Explosive Index (VEI) 4 or higher)
eruption of MOUNT RAINIER.
(2) The lack of widespread civil unrest in SEATTLE, TACOMA and surrounding metropolitan
areas due to state authorities’ actions will continue.
(3) If there is an eruption, there will be minimal ash plume due to MOUNT RAINIER’s current
composition, i.e. the primary threat for a major event will be due to lahar flows. What ash plume
occurs will be carried mostly to the east due to the area’s prevailing winds.
H-11
2. Mission. 2-159 IN conducts road movement along ASR BANE to AO SCOBEE NLT
271900(U)NOV18 in order to provide defense support to civil authorities responding to the MOUNT
RAINIER eruption. O/O, 2-159 IN provides assistance to local, state, tribal, and federal agencies
supporting MOUNT RAINIER rescue, recovery, and disaster mitigation efforts in AO SCOBEE.
3. Execution.
a. Commander’s Intent. My intent is to use 2-159’s inherent mobility, self-sustainment capabilities,
and personnel strength in a manner that enhances local, state, tribal, and federal entities’ respond
to this disaster. End state of this operation will see 2-159 aiding in the mitigation of a possible
MOUNT RAINIER eruption, facilitating recovery operations complete in ORTING, emergency
shelters erected at AAs ROC and HEXAPUMA, and TF ASTRID providing medical care at AA
WYVERN.
b. Concept of Operations. 2-159 IN will accomplish the following by conducting a road march
despite challenging weather conditions to AO SCOBEE. Upon arrival, 2-159 IN will establish a
battalion cantonment area vicinity AA WYVERN. From this central location, companies will
conduct DSCA operations based on functional task rather than operational area. A/2-159 IN (SE)
will focus on assisting in rescue / recovery operations vicinity ORTING. B/2-159 IN (SE) will be
tasked with providing construction support to EN battalions at AAs ROC and HEXAPUMA. C/2-
159 IN (ME) will initially assist in erecting the medical facility at AA WYVERN, then shift to
assisting in volcanic mitigation tasks across AO SCOBEE. HHC/2-159 IN will maintain life
support facilities for federal personnel assisting state and local government within AO SCOBEE.
Line companies will provide a duty platoon on a rotational basis to assist in short notice taskings
which may arise based on mission analysis conducted with civil authorizes. Throughout this
operation, units will remain cognizant of MOUNT RAINIER’s volcanic warning status, develop
and maintain evacuation plans, and regularly conduct rehearsals in order to prevent casualties
from possible lahar flows.
c. Scheme of Movement and Maneuver. 2-159 IN will begin marshaling for ground movement at
27XXXX(U)NOV18. Company commanders, XOs, and 1SGs will meet with Washington State
Patrol at SUMMONER MAIN at 27XXXX(U)NOV18 for final movement instructions. Order of
road movement along ASR BANE will be HHC, C, A, then B. Upon reaching AO SCOBEE,
companies will erect their section of the 2-159 cantonment area and await further instructions on
coordination with civil authorities.
(1) Scheme of Mobility / Countermobility. The emphasis on this operation will be on Mobility. 2-
159 IN personnel will be tasked to support TF YOMI’s attached EN battalions in mobility
tasks that will enhance the trafficability of major routes in their sector as well as reinforce
existing bridges / causeways which may be vulnerable to earthquake activity / flooding.
(2) Scheme of Battlefield Obscuration. N/A.
(3) Information Awareness and Assessment (IAA). 2-159 IN personnel will not conduct
IAA operations within AO SCOBEE. IAA operations may be conducted by TF YOMI within
AO SCOBEE, and subordinate units will be informed of these operations by
SUMMONER MAIN.
d. Scheme of Intelligence. 2-159 IN personnel will not provide intelligence support to local, state,
tribal, and federal agencies unless explicitly directed to do so by SUMMONER-6, -5, or -3. If
H-12
directed, SUMMONER-2 will ensure any support provided is done so in a manner that complies
with DODD 5240.01.
e. Scheme of Fires. N/A.
f. Scheme of Protection. The primary purpose of Protection throughout OPERATION GAIA
RESPONSE is to mitigate danger to the force from MOUNT RAINIER and associated earthquake
activity. TF YOMI commanders will ensure unit billeting, assembly areas, and emergency shelters
are constructed with this threat in mind. Particular attention will be paid to the MOUNT RAINIER
lahar threat as well as subsidiary flooding caused from debris accumulation should eruption occur.
In addition, all leaders will take measures to protect emergency supplies and materials from
possible criminal activity. See Annex E (Protection) for further guidance.
g. Cyber Electromagnetic Activities. N/A
h. Stability Tasks. N/A.

SUMMONER personnel will employ plain language communications with non-DoD
agencies whenever possible.
1. Specifically, external communications will refer to routes by their local, state,
tribal, or Federal designation.
2. Emergency medical facilities will be referred to by “Medical Facility [AA Name]”
once established.
3. In cases where this guidance may interfere with directed EEFI, 2-159 IN personnel
will err on the side of caution.
4. Media or other unofficial requests for information regarding the location of DSCA
operations will be referred to the Joint Information Center (JIC).
4. Sustainment. Sustainment operations throughout OPERATION SUMMONER REPOSE will rely on
existent facilities on AA LEWIS. In the event of volcanic activity interfering with operations,
MCCHORD AFB and WHIDBEY ISLAND NAS are the designated alternates. 2159 IN is first in
priority of TF YOMI sustainment support. Priority of support within 2-159 IN is to HHC, C, A, then B
companies.
a. Logistics. 2-159 IN will depart AA MANTICORE with 100% unit basic load (UBL) as per the
SUMMONER TACSOP. Upon reaching AO SCOBEE, SUMMONER-5 will coordinate
with local, state, and tribal authorities on the best locations for conducting sustainment operations.
SUMMONER-4 will conduct direct coordination with the Joint Base Lewis McChord (JBLM)
Directorate of Logistics (DOL) in order to establish the flow of CL I, III and IX resupply. CL IV
materials for building emergency shelters will be provided from FEMA via government stockpiles

evacuations. SUMMONER-4 will serve as the 2-159 IN representative in direct coordination
meetings with local, state, and tribal authorities for route control within AO SCOBEE. Priorities of
maintenance throughout this operation will be to STRYKER, LMTV chassis, PLS, HEMMT, then all
others. Depot level maintenance will be evacuated to designated DOL locations on AA LEWIS.
b. Personnel. Personnel assignment and detachment will be conducted IAW previously established
garrison SOPs. All SUMMONER personnel have been stop-lossed from ETS and PCS for the next
90 days. Exceptions to this policy may be requested in writing through company commanders,
H-16
SUMMONER-6, YOMI-6, then to CG, TF PLINY. Replacement personnel will be transported from
home station to AA MANTICORE via military air, with gaining units responsible for arranging
transport forward.
c. Health Services Support. 2-159 IN personnel are not authorized to seek routine medical attention
from local civilian hospitals, clinics, or medical professionals for the duration of
OPERATION SUMMONER REPOSE. Health service support (HSS) and force health protection
(FHP) services will first be provided by each unit’s combat medic; then battalion aid station (BAS).
397th MED at AA LEWIS will provide any additional Role 1 and 2 services needed. Role 3 medical
support for all BNs is provided via Madigan Army Hospital also located at AA LEWIS. TF ASTRID
at AA MANTICORE, then later relocating to AA WYVERN will serve as an alternate for Role 1
through 3 care if patient cannot reach AA
LEWIS for treatment. 2-159 IN medics will ground evacuate wounded personnel to AA
LEWIS or MANTICORE/WYVERN in the case of injury. Discretion for using X CORPS,
CJTF RAINIER assets, or civilian aerial medical evacuation services for emergency MEDEVAC is
delegated to company commanders. 2-159 IN personnel requiring extended medical care will be
evacuated to military medical facilities outside the affected area (see Appendix 5 (Air Support) to
Annex D (Fires) for further aeromedical evacuation information). Emergency treatment of civilian
casualties by 2-159 IN personnel is limited to those situations where civilian medical personnel are
not present or unable to reach the location.
