Planning in Crisis
Term

You are the commander of a JTF that was recently stood up in response to a series of upheavals in Farwayistan, a long standing US ally in the Caucasus. A vote of non-confidence on the prime minister lead to a military coup, fighting and rioting that left the provisional government and the military junta warring over a paralyzed and fleeing populace.

 

Planning has proceeded in tight coordination with the geographic combatant commander and his staff. A Course of Action has been approved, leading to deployment of a HADR stabilization force to handle refugees. Partner nations operating in the geographic Combatant Commander’s AOR are coordinating with the relief effort.  There is not yet an official JTF presence in the capitol, though there are special ops units present

You have just received a credible report from a local intelligence asset warning of a CBRNe threat in Farwayistan. This report has been verified; foreign insurgents supporting the military junta are suspected of transporting a dirty bomb into the ruined capital city.

 

Given your years of experience, familiarity with the area, and understanding of the Joint Operation Planning and Execution System, what steps will you take?

Definition

There are no immediate correct answers for the situation, but subject matter experts suggested these possible responses:

  • Employ Joint Persistent Surveillance
  • Isolate the area and continue relief operations in rest of country, with a focus on the border areas.
  • I would work with my GCC to get local diplomatic assets to contact the Farwaystan military about their insurgent supporters. While that goes on, I could support host-nation assets to locate the radiation source.
  • Safety of troops is paramount. Appraise GCC of intelligence report, and work with J2 on deploying sensors if not in area.
Term
