AIR INTELLIGENCE AGENCY INSTRUCTION 10-203

DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE HQ AIR INTELLIGENCE AGENCY

Readiness

UNIT EMERGENCY ACTIONS PROGRAM

This instruction implements AFPD 10-2, Readiness. It provides basic HQ Air Intelligence Agency (AIA) guidance and assigns responsibilities for managing the emergency actions (EA) at AIA field units and subordinate levels of command. This instruction applies to all AIA units, detachments, and operating locations worldwide, and AIA-gained Air Force Reserve units. It does not apply to centers, wing, groups, operational support squadrons, mission support squadrons, and the AIA-gained Air National Guard unit.

This revision aligns the instruction with AFPD 10-2 and AIAI 10-401, Unit Plans Program. It changes information formerly found in ESCR 28-1, The Unit Emergency-Actions and Plans Program and changes Electronic Security Command (ESC) to AIA. It deletes various standardized reporting requirements, reference publications, and forms.

1. Introduction:

1.1. This instruction describes plans, defines administrative procedures and training requirements, and describes the management tools available to the unit's EA planner or readiness noncommissioned officer (NCO).

1.2. Address requests for exceptions to this instruction to the appropriate theater headquarters.

2. Responsibilities:

2.1. Commanders appoint an experienced individual (preferably a Technical Sergeant or civilian equivalent or above) to accomplish the EA function. The EA NCO has a direct line of communication with the commander or vice commander. The EA NCO:

2.1.1. Serves as the commander's focal point for unit EA matters and for accomplishing unit EA planning responsibilities according to this instruction.

2.1.2. Identifies the support requirement from functional staff elements needed to develop, coordinate, and implement the unit's EA program.

2.1.3. Monitors unit's EA teams, including appointments to teams and team training.

2.1.4. Acts as the unit's single point of contact for host-base EA coordination and correspondence.

2.1.5. Conducts an EA educational program. Keeps unit personnel updated concerning EA matters.

2.1.6. Ensures the unit has a comprehensive EA plan or guide with pertinent checklists and instructions.

2.1.7. Maintains "how-to" guidance which explains in detail how the EA job is done for the unit.

2.1.8. Prepares flowcharts and reviews key processes periodically and makes appropriate changes.

2.1.9. Monitors the unit's recall program.

2.1.10. Monitors the unit's control center (UCC) manning.

2.1.11. Trains UCC controllers.

2.1.12. Reviews and updates the UCC handbooks.

2.1.13. Forwards a review of actions or "lessons learned" to immediate theater headquarters whenever a unit implements EA in a real-world situation. Briefly summarizes positive areas, problem areas, and actions taken or intended to correct any problems.

2.2. The EA NCO is not assigned duty as an exercise-evaluation team (EET) member or team chief, but may act in an advisory capacity to offer advice or recommend areas or events to be exercised.

3. Plans. The effectiveness of a military organization depends on the efficiency of its planning. As the EA NCO, you must familiarize yourself with all facets of the planning process and with the plans themselves. Close coordination with the unit's plans NCO, review of the plans held by the unit, and AIAI 10-401 will aid in effective management of the unit's emergency actions program.

4. Education. The key to self and unit survival may well be the knowledge an individual (military, civilian, or dependent) has of the EA program. The purpose of the EA education program is to make each individual aware of required EAs outlined in the unit's emergency plans and prevent loss of life and property. To accomplish this, the unit should have a single, combined EA and disaster preparedness education program:

4.1. Topics. Brief the following topics, as appropriate:

4.1.1. Recall procedures.

4.1.2. Shelter locations and reporting procedures.

4.1.3. Base alert and warning signals (such as siren, public-address system, and flags).

4.1.4. Evacuation procedures (overseas units include procedures for noncombatant evacuation operations (NEO)).

4.1.5. UCC structure.

4.1.6. Severe weather and natural-disaster conditions.

4.1.7. Fire-alarm and reporting procedures.

4.1.8. Unit emergency protection and destruction programs.

4.1.9. Bomb threat procedures.

4.1.10. Antiterrorism procedures.

5. Quality Program Review. During quality program reviews (QPR), staff personnel review appropriate EA planning and provide constructive comments and recommendations for problem areas:

5.1. Newly assigned EA NCOs must conduct a QPR self assessment within 90 days.

5.2. Units conduct QPRs as part of the unit self assessment.

5.3. Unit commanders may request a QPR at any time.

5.4. Groups conduct QPRs at commander's discretion for subordinate units.

6. Readiness Conferences:

6.1. Use readiness conferences to review and discuss tasking, interpret current or new directives, and provide assistance and training for personnel newly assigned to readiness functions.

6.2. Each immediate headquarters will ensure funds are available to hold readiness conferences.

6.3. Unit commanders will ensure their readiness personnel attend the applicable intermediate headquarters conferences.
