Purpose
• Articulate the general framework for option development
of any situation-specific USPACOM response to provide,
as required, DOD support to U.S. Government (USG)
Foreign Humanitarian Assistance (FHA) operations in
the USPACOM AOR in order to:
– Inform USPACOM/component HADR training events
– Create staff synergy, efficiency and common understanding
– Provide a timely, relevant and appropriate response that
addresses the immediate crisis
– Wherever possible:
• Contribute towards Theater Campaign objectives
• Informs OAAs in the context of the Theater Campaign
This framework will also be used as the baseline CONOP for USPACOM response to
foreign CBRN accidents and Pandemic events

Background - DOD/USG FHA Strategic Framework
• Affected State (AS) must request (or be willing to accept) USG assistance and be
supported by a Disaster Declaration Cable from the U.S. Embassy to Department of State
(DOS) .
• USG responds to diplomatic initiatives by DOS or direction by the President (POTUS).
• U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)/Office for Foreign Disaster
Assistance (OFDA) is the Federal Lead for Foreign Humanitarian Assistance (FHA).
• When required, the Federal Lead submits an RFA
to DOD for urgent needs that cannot be met by
others for SecDef approval.
USAID/OFDA
Requesting DOD Support
for Foreign Humanitarian Assistance (FHA)
Host Nation (HN)
• DOD operations will normally be of short
duration
• DOD has no direct legal or fiduciary authority to
self-initiate emergency FHA operations with one
limited exception:
Immediate Response Authority (IRA) to conduct
emergency relief operations at the scene of a crisis in
order to save lives and prevent great human suffering
in the initial 72 hours.
If req’d, HN requests
assistance from
international community
(other nations, NGOs,
IOs, regional response
mechanisms, etc.)
For USG response, US
Ambassador or Chief of
Mission (COM) validates
emergency
 HN requests/ will
accept USG aid
 HN overwhelmed
 In interest of USG
Exception: CCMD can respond
immediately to save lives if
assets on hand (72 hr limit)
If req’d, State or USAID
requests DOD support and
may provide $$$ (Via
EXECSEC Memo request or
letter/ interagency
agreement)
DOD approves HA/DR

Strategic & Policy Considerations
The following points of consideration should influence activities and actions to guide
USPACOM assigned forces during the initial warning and response to any FHA event
USPACOM at all levels:
• USPACOM employs this CONOP and process for all nations where USAID/OFDA is the USG Federal
Lead for the USG response
• The Compact States (Palau, FSM and RMI) shall be treated as FHA with DOD responding to OFDA.
OFDA/FEMA agreements on a joint response will be processed through OFDA before coming into the
DOD system
• All reports shall be directed to HQ USPACOM staff (J33 or J35) for consolidation
• CDRUSPACOM retains authority to posture, and/or respond and coordinate of DOD FHA activities within
the AOR
• No DOD movements or expenditures are authorized without USPACOM direction/approval
Theater Functional/Component and forward elements:
• Immediate Response Authority (IRA) is designed for those forces/elements and installations that are
already in the event area
• Any IRA activity must be reported to CDRUSPACOM (for transmission to SecDef) as soon as possible
• Outside of IRA eligible capabilities, DOD elements and representatives shall not offer, nor imply offering,
military capabilities to the AS as this can skew the final request for support
• Any theater functional/component assigned “responsibility” or “coordination” tasks within the TCP/TCO
are for Phase 0 operations only and does not imply authority or tasking for an event

Situation
(U) Issue: Pandemics, emerging infectious disease, natural disasters and accidental or non-attributable manmade disasters incidents are frequent occurrences within the USPACOM AOR. They can also be so
economically, politically and socially devastating that the U.S. is compelled to provide assistance, not only for
humanitarian purposes but to help maintain regional stability. USPACOM is uniquely mandated to respond to
All Hazards events overseas as part of Foreign Humanitarian Assistance (FHA). These events often present
opportunities for engagement with a range of governments with permissive, uncertain, hostile or nonpermissive environments as well as traditional military to military engagements. Such activities solidify
USPACOM’s partnerships in the region, build resiliency, increase security and stability, and provide flexible
engagement opportunities.
(U) Characteristics of the AOR.
The area of FHA responsibility consists of:
South Asia, China, Korea, Taiwan, Southeast
Asia, Palau, FSM and RMI. All other portions
of the AOR to include CNMI and Guam are
considered under Defense Support of Civil
Authorities (DSCA), USPACOM CONPLAN
5001.The immensity of the region exhibits the
greatest variance possible in geography,
vegetation, and climate. The people, cultures,
and languages are equally diverse. The
disparate histories and cultures within the
USPACOM AOR mirror the numerous
languages/dialects. The region is most
susceptible to foreign disasters in the form of
acts of Nature (flood, drought, fire, typhoon,
earthquake, volcanic eruption and epidemic)
and Acts of man (riots and violence).

Mission Statement
On order, USPACOM supports U.S. Government efforts, led by
USAID/OFDA and DOS, to provide Foreign Humanitarian Assistance
to the Affected State by conducting relief and support operations
to save lives, alleviate human suffering, and mitigate significant
U.S. and Affected State critical infrastructure damage.
NOTE: Each individual mission statement will be refined to meet the
specific situation and task/need within this strategic envelope

Commander’s Intent
Purpose. Support mitigating strategies and resiliency efforts before an all hazards event to increase AS
response capability during a disaster to save lives and alleviate human suffering while increasing the
effective response of USPACOM forces and other assisting militaries.
Method.
- Quickly gain and maintain situational clarity by engaging with DOS and USAID/OFDA, gathering USPACOM and other
humanitarian community information sources, and, as required, sending a tailored assessment team to the AS (embedding with the
USEMB country team and OFDA DART).
- Aggressively pursue unity of effort between in-theater USG response elements from DOS, OFDA, and DOD; the TF; the AS military;
other international military participants by supporting the AS-led MNCC; and, USPACOM HQ and U.S Policy (JS/OSD).
- Closely work with U.S. Country Team (DOS) and USAID/OFDA to identify the best entry and operating conditions/locations (e.g.,
facility access, resources within the region, country clearances, Status of Forces Agreements (SOFA), Memorandums of
Understanding (MOU), and Rules of Engagement (ROE) requirements) and quickly establish defined and assessable transition
conditions.
- As authorized, apply tailored, modular and self-sustaining U.S. military forces in support of FHA operations in close coordination
with, and in support of USAID/OFDA.
- In coordination with the COM and USAID/OFDA, support the development and execution of a coordinated SC plan that promotes
the AS-led response and actively informs local and international audiences of effective relief efforts.
- The task force will be configured and prepared to live in austere, field deployment conditions for the duration of the deployment.
The TF should expect to operate under austere field conditions, defined as living and working in tents, eating field rations, and
having improvised latrine and shower facilities.
End State. Lives are saved, human suffering and damage to critical infrastructure are mitigated,
AS/International Community effectively assumed all relief/response efforts, and public perception of
DOD efforts is positive.

FHA Event Flow – Decision Point Descriptions
USG DECISION POINTS (BLUE STARS).
DP 1. On the initial USG decision to support the Affected Nation request and dispatch an DOS/OFDA
assessment team.
DP 2. On a USG decision to provide further support, the DoD will be prepared, through identified relevant
capabilities, to provide/support an immediate USG visible presence in 48 hours with relevant capabilities,
tailored to the disaster.
DP 3. USG can decide to extend the DoD mandate, to include other USPACOM capabilities as the needs
emerge and evolve. This will normally be within the deployment of the initial responding force and would
usually mean deployment of additional assets.
DP 4. This is the USG decision to either continue or conclude the DoD engagement to meet identified
needs over the longer term. This may result in a relief in place or the deployment of other assets to meet
the evolving need.
USPACOM DP (YELLOW STARS)
DP 1. Decision to employ & C2 arrangements for in-location forces within IRA
DP 2. Based on USG DP1, CDRUSPACOM may contribute to the WoG team effort by dispatching a
military assessment support team (the HAST) to support further USG relief decision-making. The HAST
can also prepare the ground to receive other military capabilities as required/identified. The J3 will normally
order a SAG
DP 3. As SA increases and USG Government intent for DoD involvement becomes clearer,
CDRUSPACOM (or J3) may formally direct an OPT to identify potential USPACOM response options
DP 4. CDRUSPACOM selects the response COA based on stated USG need/request and staff COA
analysis.
DP 5. The final CONOP is approved for transmission to JS/OSD.
DP 6. CDRUSPACOM approves the construct/composition of replacement rotations based on the progress
to date and accomplishment of DoD assigned goals.
DP 7. CDR approves the plan to either close out the DoD mission or conduct a force rotation/adjustment.

Requiring minimal support from USPACOM, a small scale response is typically executed by
a single service component providing limited forces (e.g., two C-130’s to move HA supplies).
Designation of the supported operational commander is a CDRUSPACOM decision
informed by joint operational planning. Though any component may be designated as the
Supported Operational Commander, MARFORPAC (primary) and USARPAC (alternate) are
tasked in the TCO as the primary components to designate an on-scene commander.

As the scope and scale of disaster response increases beyond the capability of a single
service component, joint enablers and command element augmentation are required to
ensure an effective USPACOM response. The designated supported operational
commander will incorporate supporting joint capabilities determined during operational
planning and the on-scene commander. The intent is to establish the most effective
response force which will normally include select joint enablers sourced from USPACOM
components, as required.

In a major disaster, the scope and scale of the response may require formation of a JTF. Upon
establishment of a JTF, each component will be represented via functional component
elements, as required, to ensure an effective USPACOM response. The JTF will be task
organized according to mission requirements defined by joint operational planning and the onscene commander.
