Constraints

1. Overall mobility of initial reconnaissance assets and follow-on support functions

2. Navigation – Lack of planning in reference to Navigation assessments

3. Lack of habitual association with DoD planning and support

4. Lack of heavy support (fleet activities) contracting capability

5. Land Management in TN and lack of State resources to support unanticipated requirements

6. Communications challenges – requires innovative, new communications

7. Life/Safety issues associated with aftershocks while entering impacted zone

8. DTOS support plan – update to reflect recent planning changes

Gaps/Concerns/Recommendations

1. HQ - Integration of MTOE FEST-As (HMWV mobility) and DoD assets

2. HQ - Establishment of national navigation priorities and focus on navigational impacts

3. HQ - Increased collaboration with 416th TEC and local reserve units (pre-scripted missions)

4. LRD - Mission & gap analysis on contracting capability versus anticipated requirements

5. All - No ad-hoc execution on emergency response operations in TN

6. HQ - Create a robust USACE High Frequency (HF) radio network

7. HQ/LRD - Create rules of engagement for aftershocks

8. LRD – Coordination with HQ to reflect changes and requirments
