E
4. POLICY
4.1. National Policy
4.1.1. Planning and preparedness by the Federal Government for civil
emergencies and attacks are important due to the severity of the consequences of
emergencies for the Nation and the population, and to the sophistication of means of LO
attack on the United States and its territories.
0
4.1.2. Under the Stafford Act, as amended (reference (e)), it is the policy of
the Federal Government to provide an orderly and continuing means of supplemental
assistance to State and local governments in their responsibilities to alleviate the
suffering and damage that result from major disasters or emergencies. Upon declaring
a major disaster or emergency under reference (e), the President may direct any
Agency of the Federal Government to undertake missions and tasks (on either a
reimbursable or non-reimbursable basis) to provide assistance to State and local
agencies. The President appoints a Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO) to operate in
the affected area, and delegates authority to the FCO. The President has delegated to
the Director of FEMA the authority to appoint FCOs; and FEMA officials frequently
serve as FCOs.
4.1.3. In accordance with the Federal Civil Defense Act of 1950, as amended
(reference (f)), the national civil defense policy is to have a civil defense program to
develop capabilities common to all catastrophic emergencies and those unique to attack
3
Packet Pg. 29
C.2.a
DODD 3025.1,Januaty 15, 1993
emergencies, which will support all hazard emergency management at State and local
levels, in order to protect the population and vital infrastructure. Under the national
civil defense policy, the Department of Defense will support civil authorities in civil
defense, to include facilitating the use of the National Guard in each State for response
in both peacetime disasters and national security emergencies.
4.1.4. Under E.O. 12656 (reference (d)), it is the policy of the Federal
Government to have sufficient capabilities at all levels of government to meet essential
defense and civilian needs during any national security emergency.
4.2. Scope. This Directive governs all planning and response by DoD
Components for civil defense or other assistance to civil authorities, with the exception
of military support to law enforcement operations under DoD Directive 3025.12
(reference (i)) and contingency war plans.
4.3. Delegations of Authority. The Secretary of Defense shall be assisted in E
executing his responsibility for MSCA by the following: 2
4.3.1. The Secretary of the Army shall be the DoD Executive Agent and shall
act for the Secretary of Defense in accordance with this Directive and any
supplemental direction or guidance received from the Secretary of Defense. In that
capacity, the DoD Executive Agent will develop planning guidance, plans, and
procedures for MSCA in accordance with this Directive. The DoD Executive Agent
has the authority of the Secretary of Defense to task the DoD Components to plan for LO
and to commit DoD resources, in response to requests from civil authorities under
MSCA. The Secretary of the Army shall coordinate with the Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff any commitment of military forces assigned to the Unified and
Specified Commands.
4.3.2. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff shall communicate to the
Commanders of the Unified and Specified Commands appropriate guidance issued by
the Secretary of the Army for their compliance with this Directive, and also shall assist
the DoD Executive Agent in developing MSCA planning guidance for all conditions of
war or attacks on the United States or its territories.
4.3.3. The Commander in Chief, Forces Command (CINCFOR); the
Commander in Chief, U.S. Atlantic Command (USCINCLANT); and the Commander
in Chief, U.S. Pacific Command (USCINCPAC), shall serve as "DoD Planning
Agents" for MSCA. Pursuant to guidance issued by the DoD Executive Agent, after
coordination with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the DoD Planning Agents
shall conduct MSCA planning, and shall lead MSCA planning activities of all DoD
4
Packet Pg. 30
C.2.a
DODD 3025.1,Januaty 15, 1993
Components within the following geographic areas:
4.3.3.1. CINCFOR(48 contiguous States and the District of Columbia).
4.3.3.2. USCINCLANT (Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands).
4.3.3.3. USCINCPAC (Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. possessions and
territories in the Pacific area).
4.3.4. The Commanders of the Unified and Specified Commands shall
provide MSCA response, as directed by the DoD Executive Agent.
4.3.5. The Secretary of Defense reserves the authority to modify or terminate
the executive agency established by this Directive if operational needs so require in a
particular situation. z
4.4. MSCA Policy E
a�
4.4.1. MSCA shall include (but not be limited to) support similar to that
described for Immediate Response (subsection 5.4., below), in either civil emergencies
or attacks, during any period of peace, war, or transition to war. It shall include
response to civil defense agencies, but shall not include military assistance for civil law
enforcement operations.
LO
4.4.1.1. DoD Directive 3025.12 (reference (i)) governs use of military N
resources in the event of civil disturbances, which may include providing physical
security for DoD Key Assets, as defined in DoD Directive 5160.54 (reference
4.4.1.2. Materiel, logistic, communications, and other assistance to law E
enforcement(especially drug enforcement operations) is provided under DoD
Directive 5525.5 (reference (k)).
4.4.2. The DoD Components shall respond to requirements of the DoD
Executive Agent and DoD Planning Agents for MSCA, as authorized by this Directive.
4.4.3. To ensure sound management of DoD resources, MSCA planning will
stress centralized direction of peacetime planning with civil authorities, with
decentralized planning by DoD Components with civil agencies, where appropriate,
and decentralized execution of approved plans in time of emergency.
4.4.4. Subject to priorities established by the President or the Secretary of
Defense, all DoD resources are potentially available for MSCA. MSCA planning and
5
Packet Pg. 31
C.2.a
DODD 3025.1,Januaty 15, 1993
execution will encourage and adhere to the following premises:
4.4.4.1. That civil resources are applied first in meeting requirements of
civil authorities.
4.4.4.2. That DoD resources are provided only when response or
recovery requirements are beyond the capabilities of civil authorities (as determined by
FEMA or another lead Federal Agency for emergency response).
4.4.4.3. That specialized DoD capabilities requested for MSCA (e.g.,
airlift and airborne reconnaissance) are used efficiently.
4.4.4.4. Generally, military operations other than MSCA will have
priority over MSCA, unless otherwise directed by the Secretary of Defense.
z
4.4.5. MSCA shall provide a mechanism to facilitate continuous and
cooperative civil and military planning and preparedness to mobilize all appropriate
resources and capabilities of the civil sector and the Department of Defense, whenever
required for any form of national security emergency.
4.4.6. DoD planning shall recognize that:
4.4.6.1. Army and Air National Guard forces, acting under State orders
(i.e., not in Federal service), have primary responsibility for providing military
LO
assistance to State and local government agencies in civil emergencies.
4.4.6.2. The Army National Guard State Area Command (STARC),
when ordered to Federal Active Duty, will be the DoD focal point for delivery of
MSCA at State and local levels in time of war. E
4.4.6.3. Plans and preparedness measures for MSCA must foster close
and continuous coordination for efficient employment of DoD resources of the
National Guard (whether employed under State or Federal authority), as well as
resources of the DoD Components, in time of peace, war, or transition to war.
4.4.6.4. In the event of an attack on the United States, its territories, or
possessions, the scope of MSCA in each geographical area will depend upon the
commitment of military resources to military operations, the extent of damage
sustained by the civilian communities, and the status of Active and Reserve
Component forces.
6
Packet Pg. 32
C.2.a
DODD 3025.1,Januaty 15, 1993
4.4.7. DoD Components shall augment staffs responsible for MSCA, as
appropriate, with personnel from Reserve components of all Military Services who are
specifically trained for civil-military planning and emergency liaison duties. (See
enclosure 3 in DoD Directive 1215.6 (reference (1))). The Military Services also shall
ensure that all Active or Reserve component military personnel assigned or attached to
FEMA are appropriately trained and employed to enhance DoD capabilities for MSCA
in time of war or attack on the United States or its territories.
4.4.8. The DoD Components ordinarily shall provide DoD resources in
response to civil emergencies on a cost reimbursable basis. However, see paragraph
4.5.2., below, for circumstances in which an inability or unwillingness of a requester
to commit to reimbursement will not preclude action by DoD Components.
�s
4.4.8.1. The DoD Components shall comply with legal and accounting
requirements for the loan, grant, or consumption of DoD resources for MSCA, as E
necessary, to ensure reimbursement of costs to the DoD Components under the 2
Stafford Act, as amended (reference (e)); the Defense Emergency Response Fund
established by Pub. L. No. 10 1-165 (1989) (reference (m)); or other applicable
authority.
4.4.8.2. The DoD Components shall not procure or maintain any
supplies, materiel, or equipment exclusively for providing MSCA in civil emergencies,

time possible.
4.5. Immediate Response
Packet Pg. 33
C.2.a
DODD 3025.1,Januaty 15, 1993
4.5.1. Imminently serious conditions resulting from any civil emergency or
attack may require immediate action by military commanders, or by responsible
officials of other DoD Agencies, to save lives, prevent human suffering, or mitigate
great property damage. When such conditions exist and time does not permit prior
approval from higher headquarters, local military commanders and responsible
officials of other DoD Components are authorized by this Directive, subject to any
supplemental direction that may be provided by their DoD Component, to take
necessary action to respond to requests of civil authorities. All such necessary action
is referred to in this Directive as "Immediate Response."
4.5.2. While Immediate Response should be provided to civil agencies on a
cost-reimbursable basis if possible, it should not be delayed or denied because of the
inability or unwillingness of the requester to make a commitment to reimburse the
Department of Defense.
4.5.3. Any commander or official acting under the Immediate Response 2
CD
authority of this Directive shall advise the DoD Executive Agent through command
channels, by the most expeditious means available, and shall seek approval or

supplemented by the DoD Executive Agent, as circumstances require. For example:
4.7.1. The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) or the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) will coordinate Federal response to oil or hazardous material spills,
other than those occurring within DoD jurisdictions. The DoD Executive Agent will
provide MSCA to the USCG or the EPA; but responsibilities of DoD Components in

4.8. Non-Declared Emergencies. The DoD Executive Agent may direct DoD
Components to respond to any emergency, based on authority that is provided by this
Directive or obtained from the Secretary or Deputy Secretary of Defense. If an
emergency of any kind or size requires a response on behalf of the Department of
Defense, where there has not been any declaration of major disaster or emergency by
the President, or if reimbursement of funds to the Department of Defense is otherwise
not certain, the DoD Executive Agent shall ascertain the authority necessary to commit
DoD resources for response to requests from civil authorities.
4.8.1. Authorizations by the DoD Executive Agent under this subsection
(4.7.) shall include (but not be limited to) commitment of funds from the Defense
Emergency Response Fund (reference (m)) in anticipation of reimbursements to that

a. objectives . The primary objective of the Navy F&ES
Program is to minimize the loss of life, reduce property damage
and the environmental impact caused by fires, medical
emergencies, HAZMAT, natural and man-made disasters, including
acts of terrorism. The program emphasizes prevention,
education, and engineering to eliminate and minimize losses .
b. References . All CDs shall utilize references (a)
through (ao) when planning and implementing the requirements set
forth in this instruction.
C. Deviations. All deviations shall be coordinated with
the regional F&ES chief . The CNIC regional operations director
(N3) has the authority to approve short-term deviations for less
than 90 days . Temporary deviations, consistent with reference
(a) , lasting longer than 90 days but less than 365 days, are Z
rare and by exception only. The authority t❑ approve temporary
deviations is held by Commander, Navy Installations Command IL
(CNIC) . Requests for long-term (beyond 365 days) deviations
shall be forwarded through the regional chain to CNIC for
consideration and evaluation. CNIC is the first line of
authority for approval of all long-term deviations.
3 . Mission and Guiding Principles
a. Responsibilities . The core responsibilities of Navy

CHAPTER 4
F&ES STAFFING
1. General
a. Mission. F&ES departments are authorized staffing
intended to manage the majority of F&ES emergency situations .
The level of staffing is based on F&ES companies being able to
intervene early in an event . Based on the increased risk
accepted by the Navy, the number of authorized Navy F&ES
responders is often reduced below the full alarm assignment
requirement.
b. Res onsibilities . Navy leadership does not expect that
F&ES department will have the resources to immediately control
all catastrophic events . The Navy expects available F&ES
resources to be deployed effectively to prevent or minimize the
impact of emergencies .
C . Expectations . F&ES chiefs shall plan for and develop
escalating response plans by establishing ISSAs, MAAs, MOAs and .�
MOUs for additional resources (local community response
agencies) for catastrophic events . Navy F&ES departments are
staffed to support on-installation emergency response
operations. However, firefighters shall only provide services
within the limits of their available resources and within
acceptable safety standards . Z

CHAPTER 5
F&ES OPERATIONS
1 . General . The Navy is required by reference (a) to provide
appropriate equipment, training, and vehicles for F&ES response
on installations.
2 . Emergency Operations
a. Requirements . F&ES departments require sufficient
staffing, vehicles and equipment to support emergency
operations.
b. Response. This all-hazards response mission includes, E
but is not limited to, aircraft incidents, fires, HAZMAT
releases, explosions, rescues, emergency medical incidents,
hazardous conditions, shipboard incidents, services calls, good
intent calls, false alarms, severe weather and natural
disasters, public service assistance, and special events as
defined in the installation's scope of services .
(1) The objective of F&ES emergency operations is to
intervene as early as possible at emergency incidents with the
appropriate resources as defined in the department' s scope of
services.
(a) The F&ES chief is expected to allocate and
ensure effective utilization of available resources to execute
the F&ES response program. To accomplish this, the F&ES chief
must apply ORM principles and use strategies to manage and
balance F&ES resource expenditures to meet installation mission
operational requirements.
(b) SOPs and pre-incident operating plans shall be
developed to establish procedures to improve operational
performance by providing uniform practices, identifying
responsibility and establishing accountability. Pre-incident
plans shall be developed for all target hazards to ensure
emergency response procedures are conducted as safely,
effectively, and efficiently as possible.
(c) It is imperative F&ES personnel or other first
responders do not risk their safety when there is no possibility
to save lives. In situations where the risk to F&ES personnel

plans to meet the installation' s hazard analysis and the
preplanned scope of services.
(c) The risk of F&ES personnel injury during
emergency operations is significant and requires direct
attention from the incident commander. The activities that
present a significant risk to the safety of first responders are
limited to situations where there is a potential to save
CD
endangered lives. In situations where the risk to first
responders is excessive, the incident commander shall employ
defensive operations .

incident plans per reference (w) for facilities and reference IL
W for naval shipyards with large fire or life loss potential,
hazardous operations, all assigned aircraft and any transient
aircraft as the F&ES chief deems necessary. Pre-incident plans
are required for all assigned ships . Additionally, transient
ships undergoing repair in Navy shipyards are also required to
have F&ES pre-incident plans . These plans shall be reviewed at
least every 2 years .
4 . Incident Management
a. Incident Commander. The incident commander or senior
personnel on-scene shall manage emergency incidents (large and

CHAPTER 9
F&ES RISK ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT
1. General. F&ES chiefs are responsible for minimizing the
loss of life, property and damage to the environment caused by
fires, medical emergencies, natural disasters and acts of
terrorism.
2 . Risk Assessment and Management . Risk decisions based on
fact-based analysis provide a high degree of confidence that
emergency and non-emergency events shall be managed
appropriately with available resources. Risk assessments based
on actual emergency response data, tempered with sound 0
professional judgment, provides the best opportunity for
effectively managing emergency and non-emergency events.
a. Risk. Failure to provide adequate fire prevention
services poses the greatest potential for long-term negative
impact on fire safety. Program directors, COs, and F&ES chiefs
must ensure prevention programs including engineering controls,
education, and enforcement receives the highest priority to
effectively mitigate hazards .
cv
b. Early Intervention. The F&ES operations functions are
critical to the safety of people and property during
emergencies. When emergencies occur, early intervention is the Z
critical factor in reducing the potential for damage, injury and
death. For this reason, emergency response time standards are IL
crucial to initial success .
C . Service Level. The level of service provided must be
balanced based on risk, probability of incidents, and available
resources. F&ES may provide resources needed to accomplish
successful operations; it must be measured against historic
response data to ensure resources are sufficient for the risk.
Leaders must recognize the severe limitations of F&ES
capability. There are, however, periods where the CO and F&ES
chief must consider a temporary reduction of service. These
include, but are not limited to:
(1) Vehicles out of service, staffing shortfalls, or
when providing emergency support to mutual aid partners.
9-1
Packet Pg. 161
C.2.c
OPNAVINST 11320 .23G
04 FEB 2013
(2) Periods of reduced activity when normal base
operations cease, e .g. , limited flight operations or airfield
closures occur, reduced installation population, periods of low
historical call volume, weekends, holidays, etc.
3 . Allocating Resources. Many F&ES incidents can be managed
with one fire vehicle responding within the response time
standard for early intervention. Firefighting is a labor-
intensive task that requires adequate staffing to perform in as
safe a manner as possible. Consequently, F&ES chiefs and
incident commanders must actively manage F&ES incidents to
reduce risk to firefighters.
4 . Mitigating Risk. By allocation of available F&ES resources E
(vehicles in service and proper number of firefighters) , an
acceptable level of service can normally be provided. F&ES
chiefs shall consider:
a. Adjusting work schedules so more resources are available
during higher risk periods.
b. Assigning management and administrative personnel to the
CD
operations section as training and certifications allow.
Expanded cross staffing and utilization of administrative
personnel provides additional F&ES capability and can mitigate
staffing shortages and reduce unscheduled overtime.
5 . Risk Management_. The F&ES chief shall establish management a.
plans addressing reduced operational capability during periods
of time when the department shall operate below authorized
staffing. The plan must include control measures implemented by
the F&ES chief that describe both the probability and
consequence of the potential risk. Control measures can include
varying the available resources by time of day and day of the
week based on the predicted probability while considering the
consequence during both periods of risk. These plans are
developed in advance when possible and consider the following
factors:
a. An assumption that only one F&ES incident will occur at
a time . All available F&ES resources may be deployed t❑ manage
a single F&ES incident.

b. F&ES chiefs are empowered to implement actions necessary
to continuously maintain minimum F&ES capabilities. The F&ES
chief develops ORM plans for review by the regional F&ES chief .
When shortages are not known in advance, previously developed
management plans and response procedure shall be executed by the
F&ES chief and coordinated with COs as required.
