CHAPTER 1
General
1-1. Purpose
a.
The purpose of this regulation is to prescribe
policy, procedures, and responsibilities relative to
planning for, participation in, and support of joint
training exercises which are part of the Chairman,
Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) Five-Year Joint Training
Exercise Program.

b.
The Army must train to fight jointly with
sister services and as a member of a combined force
with our allies. Joint and combined training offer an
unparalleled peacetime opportunity to exercise and
refine warfighting capabilities of both active and
reserve components. Such training enables units to
apply joint and combined doctrine and tactics,
rehearse the techniques and procedures of integrated
command and control, and challenge the full range of
problems associated with operational and logistical
interoperability (to include deployment and redeploy­ment).

a.
The CJCS, is responsible for formulating
policies for the joint training of the Armed Forces,
coordinating the development of joint training
requirements, coordinating CINCs Joint Training
Plans and managing the CJCS Joint Training Plan
(JTP). A significant part of the JTP is the Joint
Training Exercise Schedule.

b.
Commanders in Chief of Unified Commands
are responsible for conducting joint training to ensure
the effective conduct of joint operations within their
areas of responsibility. Specifically, CINCs are
responsible for --

(1) Providing authoritative direction to subordinate commanders regarding all aspects of joint training.
798
3
(2)
Coordinating and approving those aspects of training necessary to carry out assigned missions.

(3)
Documenting CINC joint training require­ments through development of joint mission essen-tial task lists (JMETL).

(4)
Developing and updating, annually, CINC joint training plans that integrate resources available to meet joint training requirements.

(5)
Forwarding CINC JMETL and joint train­ing plans to the Chairman, CJCS, for coordination.

(6)
Providing, as appropriate, forces for train­ing in support of other CINCs exercise requirements.

(7)
Promulgating deployment/redeployment guidance consistent with resource limitations and generally accepted lead time planning parameters to exercise players. This includes air/sealift allocations when appropriate.

c. Sequence.

(1)
The CJCS hosts the Worldwide Training Conference annually in September. The purpose of this conference is to provide updated training guidance, resource allocations and to note potential exercise scheduling problems. This conference sets the context for the CINC sponsored scheduling conferences.

(2)
The C1NCs develop their Five Year Exercise Plan and priorities and host their annual scheduling conference during the first quarter of each fiscal year (FY).

(3)
The CINCs submit their draft Five Year Exercise Plan to CJCS in January of each year.

(4)
The office of the Joint Staff hosts a worldwide exercise scheduling conference annually, usually in February. The CJCS conference results are published in June or July as the CJCS Joint Training Plan JTP.

(5)
The CJCS Joint Exercise Schedule is the basis for FORSCOM designation of units or selection of type unit and publication of the requirements list for each JT. The schedule of exercises in which FORSCOM forces are desired is published annually in FORSCOM Circular 350-10-YR. The circular requests major FORSCOM commands nominate units to fill the type unit requirements and/or provide their comments on the program. Unit selection is normally based on -

(a)
OPLAN/CONPLAN relationships.

(b)
Unit mission.

(c)
Availability of unit.

(d)
Availability of funding.

(e)
Date of last exercise participation.

CHAPTER 2
Implementation
2-1. General Individual force requirements for each exercise are identified in FORSCOM Circular 350-10 series for the current FY and for the next four consecutive FYs. The participant lists are tentative and subject to refinement during the exercise planning process based on the supported CINCs scenario, force apportionment, funding, airlift/sealift availability, and available active and reserve component forces. Where possible, scheduled forces, dates, and location(s) are stabilized 24 months before the exercise.
2-2. Command Relationships
a.
Command. Commanders of FORSCOM units retain command of assigned forces participat­ing in joint exercises.

b.
Operational Control. Operational control (for exercise purposes) of forces participating in exercises is assumed by the designated headquarters as specified in exercise operation orders/plans. Typically, transfer of operational control may occur when a specified geographical location is passed enroute or upon arrival at the initial port/exercise location, and reverts to the parent command upon departure from the last maneuver area/designated enroute stop to home station. Exercise directives contain detailed change of operational control instructions.

2-3. FORSCOM Action Agent (FAA)
a.
The term FAA refers to the commander appointed to coordinate FORSCOM support of a joint training exercise. The authority of designated FAA is limited to implementing actions in support of joint training exercises and will not be construed as authorization to circumvent the normal chain of command or expand the tasking authority of the commander designated. The FAA is normally the senior participating FORSCOM commander/head­quarters or major subordinate command providing the greatest number of units/personnel to the exercise.

b.
The commander designated as FAA may appoint a subordinate commander as his representa­tive to perform FAA functions. However, this does not relieve the FORSCOM designated commander of his assigned responsibilities as the FAA.

c.
The FAA is authorized direct coordination with supported headquarters, supporting headquarters, agencies, and FORSCOM participating units as required for preparing, deploying, participating, redeploying and reporting in conjunction with an assigned exercise. Coordination with DA or CJCS is not authorized.

d.
The FAA will provide information copies of all correspondence initiated, to CDR, FORSCOM, ATTN: AFOP-TR, 1777 Hardee Avenue, SW., Fort McPherson, GA 30330-1062.

e.
Specific tasks performed by the FAA will vary according to the requirements dictated by the specific exercise but will, as a minimum, include those actions required by exercise operation plans/orders, those actions delineated throughout this regulation, and those actions specified in the FAA appointment message. These tasks, as required, may include but are not limited to the following:

(1)
Request from HQ FORSCOM, those units, individuals, or equipment required for conducting the exercise, but that are not available from forces assigned to the FAA or provided by the published exercise troop list. Submit requests for units and individual/equipment augmentation to reach HQ FORSCOM not later than 90 days before the desired reporting date. Exceptions to the 90-day advance submission criteria must be fully justified. For additional information on augmentation see FORSCOM AR 350-12 and AR 614 -11.

(2)
Provide appropriate administrative, finan­cial, and logistical support to troop listed partici­pants.

(3) Establish financial service requirements.

(4)
For CONUS exercises, appoint or coordi­nate with host installation for an exercise claims director. Establish and operate an exercise claims organization.

(5)
Plan and coordinate with HQ FORSCOM for the intra CONUS/inter theater portions of movement planning. The FAA has the responsibi­lity for establishing liaison with player units to allocate airlift/sealift capability within that given for the FORSCOM troop listed units. Specific require­ments include as appropriate, the following:

(a)
The FAA is responsible for coordination of Arrival/Departure Airfield Control Group (A/DACG) requirements in the OCONUS AOR. Headquarters, FORSCOM tasks/coordinates for CONUS A/DACG support.

(b)
Coordinate the movement of Army forces from the airhead/railhead to initial maneuver area location.

(c)

(7)
If a dual-support or neutral force is employed, provide mission instructions to the force commander to accomplish tasks contained in the exercise general plan. Typical tasks for this type force include actions to ensure drop zone safety, air item recovery assistance, enviromnental inspections, maneuver damage inspections and repair, exercise fire marshal activities, actual aeromedical evacua­tion, and specific supply and maintenance. functions.

(8)
Issue necessary administrative and logistical instructions to exercise units including financial service arrangements (civilian pay, military pay, and check cashing). These instructions should include the field dates for the exercise and what support will be provided to the participants including rations, quarters, laundry, and sundry packs.

(9)
Coordinate use of fixed medical facilities to provide care for actual casualties who require treat­ment beyond the capabilities of field type medical facilities.

(10)
Appoint, or coordinate for, an Army exercise safety director to ensure safety considera­tions commensurate with the mission are applied to all phases of the exercises.

(2)
The TRADOC installation commanders designated FAA will adhere to the provisions of this regulation.

(3)
Specific tasking authority and chain of command must be addressed in all areas.

(4)
Subagent responsibilities and relationship to the FAA will be determined at the time of designation and will be limited to base and logistical support.

2-4. Environmental Assessment, Land Acquisition, and Maneuver Areas (See Chapter 15)
2-5. Budgeting and Funding
a. Forces Command provides funds to support incremental costs (over and above normal operating) of FORSCOM unit pre and post exercise support activities. Funds are also provide to cover incremental costs of participation in CINCUSACOM and USCINCCENT scheduled/sponsored CJCS approved exercises. Incremental participation costs associated with other CINC scheduled/sponsored exercises is the responsibility of the Army component of the scheduling command e.g. EUCOM/USAREUR, SOUTHCOM/USARSO. Funded levels are based on the program level, the requirements and priorities established by FORSCOM, and the requirements of the exercise participants. The Preliminary Planning Estimate, Preliminary Budget Estimate, and Field Budget Estimate (discussed in paragraphs 2-5b and 7-3a-f) are the primary documents upon which CJCS exercise cost estimates are reported to FORSCOM. The installation Command Operating Budget (COB), or other budget reporting requirements may (as applicable) also be used as methods of reporting CJCS exercise costs. Only those incremental costs (over and above normal operations) resulting from participation in the exercise will be reported. Normal operating costs of the unit will not be included.
(1)
Nonnal operating costs are those costs that would be incurred by a unit for training at home station instead of participating in a CJCS approved exercise. These costs are not exercise costs as defined by this regulation or AR 350-28 and are not reimbursable with Army Support Dollars (ASD).

(2)
Detailed funding guidance and definitions are provided in AR 350-28.

(3)
Examples of properly and improperly chargeable obligations are found in AR 350-28, Appendix B. Additional examples and clarification are at Appendix A to this regulation.

(4)
No Operation and Maintenance Army (OMA) (also called P2), Operation and Maintenance Army Reserve (OMAR), ASD, or PH/IT funds will

be used for strategic deployment/redeployment airlift of troops during CJCS exercises unless expressly approved in advance by CDR, FORSCOM, ATTN: AFOP-TR, 1777 Hardee Avenue, SW., Fort McPherson, GA 30330-1062.
b. Exercise OMA funds will be administered as follows:
(1)
Al] OMA Program 2 (AMS 116011) funds furnished by FORSCOM, for conducting CJCS exercises will be allocated to the FAA.

(2)
There are four separate funding reports required in support of each exercise.

(a)
Preliminary Planning Estimate due 30 days after FAA tasking message is issued.

(b)
Preliminary Budget Estimate due 180 days prior to the earliest announced exercise inclusive date.

(c)
Field Budget Estimate due 90 days prior to earliest announced exercise inclusive date.

(d)
Final Cost Report due 90 days after the last exercise employment date.

(e)
In all cases a Final Cost Report will be submitted by 15 October for exercises ending less than 90 days prior to 30 September or extending into a new fiscal year. These reports will only address funds obligated through the end of the current fiscal year.

(f)
All reports will use FORSCOM Form 253-R, Field Budget Estimate/Final Cost Report except for the PPE which may be submitted in Memorandum format. Reports will be addressed to CDR, FORSCOM, ATTN: AFOP-TR, 1777 Hardee Avenue, SW., Fort McPherson, GA 30330-1062. Detailed instructions for the preparation and submission of these reports are provided in Chapter 7 of this regulation.

(3)
Withdrawal of excess funds will normally occur after the submission of the Final Cost Report and the funds are declared excess by the FAA.

(4)
Requests for additional funds will be forwarded to CDR, FORSCOM, ATTN: AFOP-TR, 1777 Hardee Avenue, SW., Fort McPherson, GA 30330-1062.

c.
Port Handling/Inland Transportation (PH/IT) funds will be administered as follows:

(I)
The PH/IT funds are joint funds whose use is governed by an agreement between the HQDA and the CJCS. Funds are provided by CJCS through the Services to cover costs associated with the loading/unloading of ships and surface contract movement of people or equipment. Specific restric­tions and application are outlined in AR 350-28. Funds provided to the FAA are for CONUS port handling and commercial line haul expenses except for CINCUSACOM and USCINCCENT exercises. In the case of the latter two commands funds are to cover both CONUS and OCONUS expenses.

(2)
All PH/IT funds in support of a particular exercise will be distributed to the FAA. The FAA is responsible for funding the movement of authorized FORSCOM unit equipment, personnel, and coordi­nating with the Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC) for PH services.

(3)
The accounting classification for PH/IT funding is 97*0100.0112. Project codes are used to identify type of funding (PH or IT) and the specific exercise. Project codes are presented in the follow­ing format: 50*zzz, where * = 1 for PH and 2 for IT; zzz = numerical AR 37-100 designator for the specific exercise (Note: these project codes remain with an exercise regardless of the FY i.e., 501534 is the PH code for BRIGHT STAR 96 in all FY).

(4)
The IT funds can be used for unit equip­ment established on the Automated Unit Equipment List (AUEL) for units actually trooplisted on the CJCS exercise plan. Any other unit equipment or equipment from a non troop listed unit will be transported at the expense of the deploying unit. The IT funds can also be used for equipment loaned to trooplisted ad hoc (non TO&E or TDA) forces even though loaning units are not trooplisted to participate in the exercise.

(5)
The FAA is responsible for assembling and reconciling all Govenunent Bills of Lading (GBL) and accurately reporting the costs in the Final Cost Report.

(6)
Charges for PH, contracted by MTMC, will be verified by the FAA. Verification will be accomplished by applying the MTMC Port Handling Billing Rates from DA Circular 55-XX-3 (the XX indicates the fiscal year) against the AUEL for the exercise. The FAAs should provide MTMC not more than the amount of anticipated PH funds generated from this calculation. Direct coordination between the FAA and MTMC is authorized and reconunended.

(7)
The PH/IT funds should be requested only when a valid contract or Government Bill of Lading (GBL) is about to be executed, and should be obligated as soon after receipt as possible. Installa-

tions are encouraged to expeditiously return excess PH/IT funding to CDR, FORSCOM. The U.S. Army Finance and Accounting Office provides a periodic report of PH/IT obligations to HQDA and CJCS. This report provides the status of distributed versus obligated funds and is used by both DA and CJCS in approval of funds requests.
d. Commercial Ticket Program (CTP) funding is provided for small group/individual (people only) movement by commercial airline to/from an exercise. Only troop listed units on the exercise TPFDL are eligible to use the CTP. The CTP funds are joint funds and can only be used for a specific purpose. Details on use and restrictions are contained in AR 350-28.
(1)
Funds are provided by CJCS to the Services. The DA provides a quarterly allocation to MACOMs.

(2)
The USTRANSCOM recommends use of the CTP to the exercise sponsor. After concurrence by the exercise sponsor USTRANSCOM will send a message to the exercise scheduling command and Services authorizing the movement. The message will include an authorization number, specific ULN authorized to use CTP, unit name, number of PAX, point of origin/destination (if not classified), and total dollar amount authorized to expend. The exercise scheduling command is responsible for sending an action message to the appropriate supporting commands. The CDR, FORSCOM will forward this message to the FAA along with the total amount of funds authorized.

(3)
The accounting classification for CTP funding is the same as PH/IT and project code format is the same with the * equaling 3 (see para 2-5c.(3) for examples).

(4)
Use of exercise or unit OMA to purchase airline tickets in support of a CJCS approved exercise is not authorized unless expressly stated in writing by CDR, FORSCOM.

2-6. Finance
a. See Chapter 16 for detailed discussion of finance data.
b. The FAA will --
(1)
Furnish an administrative memorandum (sample format for this memorandum is in AR 37­106, Figure 3-8) to participants eligible for per diem. Format should --

(a)
Cite the applicable regulations of the host service that will govern per diem entitlements.

(b)
Include a statement indicating dates during, before, and/or after the exercise when Government quarters and/or mess were not available to the participant, when appropriate.

7

(2)
Memorandum will support the soldier's or civilian's travel settlement voucher.

(3)
If the requisite information can be included in the travel order of the participant, this memorandum does not have to be attached to the travel settlement voucher.

2-7. Logistics See AR 350-28, paragraph H-8, for additional information concerning the following:
a. Logistics operations are integral to exercise play.
(1)
Realism in logistical operations will be attained in field exercises through provision of actual support, such as Class 1, 11, VII, and IX supply, and actual maintenance of vehicles, aircraft, and other equipment. Logistical support includes contractual support. Logistical support functions will be executed with the maximum practicable degree of realism: Current logistical procedures and policies will be used by FORSCOM player units. The logistical support of participating FORSCOM units in preparing and equipping for an exercise is the responsibility of the parent major command concerned. All participating units must be self­supporting to the maximum possible extent.

(2)
Live ammunition requirements to support field exercises will be held to the minimum consistent with training objectives. Simulated Class V should be played approaching actual combat bulk and tonnage as closely as possible. Unless circumstances prevent, the percentages specified in paragraph 5­4d(2) will be used for exercise play.

b. Overall logistical support of exercises.

(1)
Participation of FORSCOM troops in joint exercises will not be used to justify changes in prescribed equipment authorizations or supply priorities specified in AR 11-11 (C) and AR 11-12.

(2)
Where existing shortages of equipment in tables of equipment or allowances of participating units cannot be corrected by a major subordinate command, and will interfere with conducting an exercise, dispatch specific information concerning these requirements to CDR, FORSCOM, ATTN: AFLG-POO, 1777 Hardee Avenue, SW., Fort McPherson, GA 30330-1062, as early as possible but NLT than 90 days before the start date of an exercise to allow planning for required equipment from other supply sources (RCS exempt: AR 335-15, para 7-2c). Exceptions to the 90-day advance submission criteria must be fully justified.

(3)
Request specific items of equipment not in tables of equipment or allowances of a participating unit, but required in special exercises (e.g.,

amphibious, arctic, tropic, desert), IAW existing regulations. Submit requests at least 90 days before the date materiel is required so that supply agencies have sufficient lead time to react to unusual demands. Unit movement data submitted IAW Chapter 6 will include additional items of equipment specifically requested for participation in the exercise.
c. Maintenance.
(1) Maintain equipment under paragraph 5-6.
(2)
Use maintenance assistance program as required (see AR 750-15).

(3)
Request assistance IAW AR 700-4 as required to augment the maintenance program.

d.
Logistical instructions. Detailed instruc­tions are in Chapter 5. Incorporate specific logistical instructions that are non recurring in nature, exceptions to policy, or of unusual importance in letters of instruction, each of which will have application only to a specific exercise.

e. Movements. See Chapter 6.

f.
Services - laundry and bath. The FAA will provide necessary laundry and bath services to units when equipment is not organic to participating units and the length of the exercise and general climate conditions indicate health and sanitation standards cannot be maintained without them. This may require laundry service from Government operated laundries and/or by commercial contracts.

2-8. Interservice and Intraservice Support Agreements (ISA) Support relationships between FORSCOM installa­tions and other activities or military services will be documented on DD Form 1144 Support Agreement. Specific support agreement will be negotiated under the provisions of the DODI 4000.19 and AR 5-16.
2-9. Testing in Conjunction with a JTX
a.
Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) annually solicits nominations for Joint Test and Evaluation (JT&E) feasibility studies. If the results of the study indicate a requirement for a JT&E, a charter is issued to conduct the test with funding provided initially by OSD.

b.
Operational Test and Evaluation Agency (OTEA) is responsible for the following joint test actions:

(1)
Ensure the Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) for the joint test has OSD approval.

(2)
Rewrite approved TEMP into an Outline Test Plan format, which is submitted through the HQDA Test Schedule and Review Committee (TSARC) process, for Army approval.

803

c.
Joint tests approved for evaluation in conjunction with a JT will be announced in the exercise general plan/operation plan.

d.
Costs directly attributable to the conduct of tests during a joint exercise will be provided by the respective test organization within each service/agency to the participating units.

Exercises and unclassified project/missions are given a two-word exercise term/nickname and may be used more than once providing it is followed by a numeral (e.g., BRAVE SHIELD XX (U)). Single word designation will not be used for this purpose (AR 380-5, Appendix C).

b.
Exercise terms desired for any exercise must be reported to CDR, FORSCOM, ATTN: AFOP-TR, 1777 Hardee Avenue, SW., Fort McPherson, GA 30330-1062, through command channels for approval and to ensure the CJCS and DA nickname base data file are kept current.

2-11. Alerting Procedures for Joint Exercises
Some exercises will use alerting procedures as an integral part of the exercise. If used, CDR, FORSCOM will announce the appropriate exercise alerts through installation commanders. Procedures to be followed will be as outlined in the appropriate joint exercise general plan/operation plan.
2-12. Public Affairs The Public Affairs mission is to keep the American people informed of military activities to the maximum extent possible consistent with OPSEC and personnel safety, as well as to provide public affairs support to the exercise director. Detailed responsibilities of public affairs participants in joint exercises are contained in Chapter 17.
2-13. Observers/Visitors
a.
Observer/visitor spaces for FORSCOM units/activities will be allocated by CDR, FORSCOM. Spaces for DA, TRADOC, and other commands/agencies will be allocated by the exercise sponsor.

b.
Nominations to fill visitor/observer alloca­tions awarded by FORSCOM to each headquarters in para a above, will be dispatched to CDR, FORSCOM, ATTN: AFOP-TR, 1777 Hardee Avenue, SW., Fort McPherson, GA 30330-1062, as soon as possible after receiving allocations, or as directed. Allocation spaces not used will also be reported (RCS exempt: AR 335-15, para 7-2z). The following data is required:

(1) Grade, name, SSN, and security clearance.
(2) Organization and station.
(3)
Desired length of visit (inclusive dates of arrival and departure).

(4)
Area of interest in sufficient detail to allow appropriate action by the visitors bureau of the exercise.

2-14. Safety and Accident Prevention
a.
A safety officer will be appointed at all levels of command down to company/separate detachment at command levels below division/sepa­rate brigade. This will be an additional duty officer. Additionally, a noncommissioned officer will be appointed to assist the safety officer. At division and higher levels an 018 civilian safety professional will normally serve as the command safety director. In the event a safety professional is unavailable, an officer in the rank of Captain or above may be appointed with the primary duty of safety.

b.
The safety officer serves as the commanders primary advisor and exercises staff supervision within the command for all matters concerning safety/accident prevention and provides assistance to subordinate units as appropriate.

c.
The safety officer will normally be assigned in a field environment as a special staff officer. The safety professional should work closely with all staff elements to ensure adequate safety and accident prevention measures are incorporated in all operations orders and plans. In order to perform effectively, safety personnel should be provided the same support as their staff counterparts. A tactical vehicle is normally required in order to access remote locations. Blackout drive and tactical communications are also important. Appropriate tentage, heaters, and cots should also be issued if issued to other staff members.

d.
Commanders at all levels will ensure risk analysis are conducted for all operations. When time does not permit a full risk analysis to be conducted a partial or hasty risk analysis will be conducted. The risk analysis will carefully consider all hazards associated with a particular operation and provide the commander with a listing of the hazards that could adversely impact upon completion of the mission. The commander will then consider the risks involved and may request the safety advisor to develop countermeasures to reduce the risk to an acceptable level if possible. A safety annex to all operations will be developed and will outline specific countermeasures developed.

e.
Before departing home station, troops will be oriented on the general and specific hazards associated with the field exercise and with the execution of assigned missions.

ret 9

f. The safety of personnel will not be sacrificed for realism during training exercises. Prior to any proposed relaxation of safety factors, commanders will carefully weigh the degree of combat realism required with the state of their troop training. Positive procedures will be established to ensure the following:
(1)
All personnel are thoroughly briefed on the conduct of the exercise to include safety procedures and probable accident-producing conditions and hazards in such areas as vehicle, water, ammunition and explosives, aviation, range, and environmental hazards in maneuver areas.

(2)
All personnel are accounted for before the start of any live fire exercises.

(3)
All live fire exercises employ an emergency cease fire notification system that is known to all participating personnel.

(4)
All ammunition used during live fire exercises meets the requirements in AR 385-63.

(5)
In all firing exercises, blank ammunition is issued from supply points separate from supply points issuing live ammunition to prevent inadver-tently mixing blank with live ammunition.

(6)
All motor vehicle operators are briefed on safe operation of vehicles both on and off roads in bivouac areas. Ensure all vehicle operators are properly licensed for the theater in which they are operating.

(7)
Personnel do not sleep in, on, under, or near wheeled and tracked vehicles.

(8)
Exercises involving range firing are IAW AR 385-63.

(9)
Medical support includes air, as appropri­ate, and motor vehicle evacuation of personnel requiring hospitalization.

(10)
Convoys and march units do not have unlimited right of way, and even where convoy and march unit integrity is essential, individual vehicle operators will exercise extreme caution at all intersections and other locations to avoid damage or injury; all motor vehicle operators and march unit commanders are aware that convoys and Government vehicles do not necessarily have the right of way at controlled or uncontrolled intersections, or on roadways, notwithstanding application of local law or duly authorized traffic control personnel or devices.

g.
Commanders at all levels are responsible for compliance with FORSCOM and AR 385-series regulations.

h.
Reportable accidents will be reported IAW FORSCOM AR 385-1 and AR 385-40.

2-15. Lessons Learned and After-Action-Reports
a.
General. Commands sponsoring and/or scheduling JTX in the CJCS program require after action reports (AAR). (When preparing after action reports, cite RCS exempt: AR 335-15, para 5-2e(7).) SM 373-88 establishes this requirement. Further, it directs the reports be prepared and submitted in the Joint Universal Lessons Learned System (JULLS) format.

b.
The AAR consist of two parts: Part 1, a First Impressions Report (FIR); and Part 2, a Final Report (FR).

(1)
The FIR provides higher headquarters with the initial assessment of the exercise. Command requirements for this report will be covered in the respective exercise plan or directive.

(2)
The FR provides the official description of the exercise and identifies significant lesson(s) learned. The FR is composed of a "SUMMARY" JULL and a refinement of the accompanied JULL(S) (Lesson(s) Learned). The "SUMMARY" JULL must include in the narrative section an "EXECUTIVE SUMMARY" paragraph (para 12). Additionally, the "Summary" JULL will include an assessment of the unit's capability to support the Theater CINC JMETL addressed in the joint exercise.

c.
The FR will be prepared as an electronic data base format, and a paper copy of the electronic form, and be submitted with a cover letter or memoranda indicating command approval.

d.
The FAA for an exercise will forward five copies of the FR to CDR, FORSCOM, ATTN: AFOP-TR, 1777 Hardee Avenue, SW., Fort McPherson, GA 30330-1062, NLT the time frame specified in the respective exercise plan or directive. Commands submitting electronic format to CJCS grant read permission to the following USERID: "AF7FORCE-EX". Notify FORSCOM via the WIN teleconference, pertaining to the exercise, of the CATALOG FILE STRING where the export file resides.

e.
The electronic format is created using the JULLS computer program. The program and manual have been distributed to Corps and Division level. Other commands can obtain a copy of this software and manual upon request from CDR, FORSCOM, ATTN: AFOP-TR, 1777 Hardee Avenue, SW., Fort McPherson, GA 30330-1062.

CHAPTER 3
Personnel
805

3-1. General Current personnel and administrative policies, procedures, and directives apply, except as otherwise noted herein. From a broad perspective, FM 12-6, Personnel Doctrine, should be used in planning personnel play, force tailoring, and exercise support. The FAA for joint exercises or their designated representative will follow current personnel policies and procedures, where feasible, within exercise constraints and the guidance from higher headquar­ters.
3-2. Personnel Fill
a. Unit Fill
(1)
Units (Active and Reserve) will participate in exercises with personnel required to accomplish the assigned mission. Coordination for unit partici­pation will be done lAW policy established by the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations (DCSOPS), FORSCOM. Current FORSCOM strength is consi­dered sufficient an no additional fill will be undertaken specifically for exercises. Exceptions will be directed based on FORSCOM coordination with the supported CINC, USACOM and HQDA.

(2)
The method of any DA-directed fill for Reserve units participating in exercises will be stated in the correspondence directing exercise participa­tion.

b.
Individual Augmentation. The FAAs will fill all required exercise/support personnel positions; exceptions will be granted only after organic resources are exhausted. Forces Command, DCSOPS, Current Operations Division, Central Tasking Branch (AFOP-OCT) will coordinate the fill of individual augmentation. Reserve component personnel (unit or non unit) may participate as individual augmentees.

3-3. Administrative Procedures for Individual
Augmentation
a. General.
(1) The processes noted herein support identifi­cation of personnel fill requirements to FORSCOM and the execution processes to provide the individual fillers. These processes cannot be implemented if the budgeting processes described in Chapter 2 have not been executed.
(2) The complete process to provide individual

support to exercises include four steps:
(a) Identification of requirements. Exercise
FAA.
(b) Validation of Requirements. Forces
Command, DCSOPS.
(c) Establishment of Priorities. Forces
Command, DCSOPS.

(d)
Coordination of fill. Forces Command, DCSOPS (AFOP-OCT), in coordination with appropriate staff agencies or subordinate commands.

b.
Requirements. Individual personnel fillers can be provided as exercise participants; exercise planners and evaluators; and/or exercise site support. Fill of these requirements will be met using internal FAA resources first and then requesting external fill from FORSCOM.

c.
Internal Fill. The FAA will be requested to fill those requirements within their capability which do not degrade their player role. Planning should consider use of Individual Mobilization Augmentees (IMA) in an annual training (AT) capacity to support exercise planning and execution.

d.
External Fill. The FAA may request per­sonnel augmentation to fill other internal positions required in support of FAA functions not identified in initial exercise directives or planning documents.

(1)
Requests for personnel resources must be submitted in the following format.

(a)
Job title or description of duties to be performed.

(b)
Required Grade and Duty (AOC/MOS/SSD. Include any special skills (ASI, SQI, LIC, etc.).

(c)
Security Clearance Requirements.

(d)
Length of Tour.

(e)
Reporting Information (Date, Installa­tion/Agency, Building Number, Point of Contact).

(f)
Special Instructions.

(g)
Point of Contact for Funds.

(2)
The exercise FAA will mail requirements in a consolidated package to FORSCOM NLT 110 days prior to the desired reporting date. Correct mailing address is:

DEP CHIEF OF STAFF FOR OPNS
ATTN AFOP OCT

U.S. ARMY FORCES COMMAND 1777 HARDEE AVENUE, SW., FORT MCPHERSON GA 30330-1062
(3) Concept.

(a)
Initial request should identify a need for required support regardless of component.

(b)
When RC participation is desired to support specific exercise functions, the requirement should be identified in special instructions.

11

(c)
By Name Requests for RC Personnel can be Submitted but must be Supported by a completed DA Form 1058-R for ARNG and USARC Form 1058-R for USAR personnel.

(4)
Fill of exercise requirements will be from all available FORSCOM resources. The Central Tasking Branch (AFOP-OCT), Current Operations Division, DCSOPS, will coordinate fill of require-ments through two sources:

(a)
Active Component (AC). Central Tasking will coordinate with appropriate agencies and implement tasking for fill requirements.

(b)
Reserve Component Unit Personnel. Central Tasking will coordinate with U.S. Army Reserve Command (USARC) and the National Guard Bureau (NGB) for support by individuals out of the troop unit program. By name requests for RC personnel will be coordinated with FORSCOM AG (AFAG-PRO) and forwarded to Army Reserve Personnel Center (ARPERCEN), USARC or the NGB, for order publication, as appropriate.

(5)
Individual Ready Reservist (IRR). Identifi­cation of IRR requirements will be provided to FORSCOM, Adjutant General (AFAG-PRO). They will coordinate with ARPERCEN, to determine their capability to provide IRR augmentation. The FORSCOM AG (AFAG-PRO) will provide informa­tion on all IRR fillers to Central Tasking (AFOP-OCT-OCT).

(6) Special Considerations:

(a)
Grade or skill substitution. Standard grade and skill substitution authorities apply when identi­fying fillers.

(b)
Joint Staff. Personnel selected to augment joint staffs must be qualified to perform in a joint staff assignment.

(c)
Security Clearance. Individuals selected to participate in exercises must have been granted at least an interim security clearance, UP AR 380-67, if the security clearance has been noted as a requirement in the exercise general plan. Clearances must have been recorded on DA FORM 973 (Certificate of Clearance and/or Security Determination) and the forms placed in the individuals' military personnel records jacket, or appropriate records packet, before movement from home station to the exercise area.

(d)
Temporary Duty (TDY) orders for individuals will indicate the augmented staff title, paragraph and line nwnber of space being filled, if provided, SSI/MOS in which duty is to be performed and in which individual is qualified, security clearance by type (interim or final), and other information required by current directives.

e. Reserve Component Personnel.

(1)
Forces Conunand funding (man-days) for RC support for exercises is limited and will only be used for major exercises to fulfill documented exercise positions. Tours will normally not be greater than 139 days in length as directed bin AR 135-200.

(2)
Reserve Component personnel may partici­pate in joint exercises as individuals in one of several categories:

(a)
Annual Training (AT). Tour limitations vary from 12-17 days in CONUS to 29 days OCONUS. Reservists participating in AT status must be placed in a duty position that supports training in the soldier's AOC/MOS.

(b)
Active Duty for Training (ADT). Tours in this status must provide a soldier with planned and organized training to acquire, maintain, or enhance a skill or to received mobilization training. Active duty for Training will not be approved for organizational missions or administration. Actual participation in the exercise is required for approval of ADT.

(c)
Active Duty for Special Work (ADSW). Requested tours of duty in this status is to accomplish organizational missions, support, and administration actions or for critical, reserve component unique projects. Training for the individual soldier is incidental, and tours will normally not exceed 139 days. Tours can be used to support exercise planners and coordinators, staff action officers, exercise evaluators and other appropriate support roles.

(d)
During a fiscal year no RC soldier will be ordered to a Temporary Tour of Active Duty, ADSW, ADT or any combination that exceeds 179 days (including travel) without prior approval of the Chief, Army Reserve (CAR) for IRR, FORSCOM for USAR unit and IMA members, or the Director, Army National Guard for ARNG unit members.

(3)
Participation will be on a voluntary basis, approved by appropriate command authority, and will be within approved man day spaces. Authority for use of personnel on ADSW is AR 135-200, and for TTAD is AR 135-210.

(4)
The FAA will not coordinate directly with ARPERCEN, USARC, NGB or State Adjutants General to obtain RC individuals as exercise augmentees unless approved by FORSCOM.

(5)
Reserve Component personnel will be ordered to duty in advance of the exercise to support any duty position training requirements; receive any refresher training in tactical, organizational, and logistical doctrine, procedures, and techniques; and support any Soldier Readiness Requirements for overseas deployment.

(6)
In instances where RC personnel are used or attached, the requesting agency will ensure adequate support to the individual soldier (administrative,

logistical, financial, etc.) is provided. When the exercise is on an installation, the Director of Reserve Component (DRC) will normally provide or coordinate the support. When the exercise is conducted on sites removed from the installation, the exercise guidance will identify a support installation or direct the FAA to coordinate support from an installation.
(7) The FAA is responsible for ensuring evaluation reports are rendered on all RC personnel participating in the exercise as individual fillers.
3-4. Personnel Services and Morale, Welfare, and Recreation The FAA will provide or coordinate the following services, activities, and programs:
a.
Religious Activities. Religious coverage will be provided and religious services conducted during joint exercises.

b.
Postal Services (including postal financial services).

(1)
Major exercise units will use their organic postal personnel for this purpose. Units without organic postal personnel will be serviced by participating military postal unit(s). Appropriate mail routing instruction directives will be published. To ensure efficient postal service during joint exercises, consideration should be given during the planning phases to determine special requirements for U.S. Postal Service (USPS) equipment and support.

(2)
Identification of civil post offices which the volume of operations is anticipated to affect (small Army postal detachments should be located to assist post offices where anticipated impact warrants). CONUS installation commanders appointed as FAAs for large scale exercises will ensure coordination between local (training site) USPS offices and the appropriate military postal activities to be served under exercise conditions.

c.
Fitness and Recreation Services. Where appropriate, fitness and recreation activities, to include sports, entertainment, crafts, and library, will be a part of each joint exercise (AR 215-1). Consideration should be given to providing a mobile facility professionally staffed and equipped with small games, paperback books, supplies, and other

recreational equipment necessary to provide mobile fitness and recreation programs and service.
d.
Exchange Services. Where appropriate, exchange service will be provided by tactical field exchange and snack vans. This service will be scheduled at times and places that do not conflict with the conduct of the exercise. The operation of a video cassette entertainment motion picture program will be governed by AR 215-1.

e.
Anny Emergency Relief (AER) and Red Cross Support.

(1)
The FAA should identify an action officer to coordinate AER requests.

(2)
The FAA should coordinate to have a Red Cross representative deploy in support of major OCONUS exercises.

3-5. Family Assistance
a.
Family Assistance and support services will be provided to families of AC (including DACs) and RC forces during periods of joint training exercises. Planning for family assistance will ensure that a comprehensive, realistic, flexible, and coordinated assistance delivery systems in place prior to departure for the exercise. This system will normally include Family Assistance Centers (FAC), or their equivalent; Family Support Groups (FSG); and unit rear detachments, or their equivalents (the link between families, FAC, FSG, other community resources, and the training units.

b.
The goal of family assistance is to provide support services to eligible family members at, or near to, their home town or home installation and information to immediate and extended family members of affected soldiers. Services will include emergency financial assistance, emergency food and shelter, crisis intervention, legal information, Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS), and the TRICARE/CHAMPUS Medical Program, counseling, and information and referral assistance.

3-6. Participation in Exercises Outside CONUS
a.
Movement outside CONUS for participation in field exercises is considered an overseas movement, although the move is of a temporary nature. Personnel participating in overseas training exercises will be processed in lAW guidance in AR 600-8-101.

b.
All units participating in an overseas exercise will have a deployment packet, IAW FORMDEPS Volume II, for each member accom­panying the unit to the exercise area.

13

3-7. Exercise Play
a. Personnel Data.

(1)
Personnel data play in Standard Army Management Information Systems (STAMIS) will be limited.

(a)
Unless directed by DA, there will be no duplication of Standard Installation/Division Person­nel System (SIDPERS) play. Additionally, PERSINS Processing Activities will not use the test applications on local SIDPERS files to support exercise play.

(b)
Development and/or use of other personnel data bases to support exercise play and accountability will be specified in exercise directives.

(c)
PERSTEMPO/SKILLTEMPO Reporting (AC only). Guidance in HQDA message (DAPE-MPE), 161912Z JAN 97, Subject: PERSTEMPO/SKILLTEMPO Reporting, applies. Basic requirement is that the unit of assignment Deployment Indicator Code (DPLIC) will be updated to reflect deployments away from home station for periods of one day or longer.

(2)
Personnel Reporting. Personnel strength reports will be spelled out in exercise directives.

b. Reserve Component Accountability.

(1)
The RC personnel will be accounted for in strength reports identified in exercise directives.

(2)
Reserve Component Soldiers ordered to active duty for a period of days or longer will be processed into SIDPERS AC in status and DPLIC codes will be updated using the same criteria as AC (para 3-7a(1)(c) above).

c.
Individual Flow. Exercise development should include plans for individual flow, both on initial fill and replacement personnel, to the exercise site.

(1)
For OCONUS exercises, planning should consider realistic use of procedures to manage individual flow or simulate the processes to support realistic play. Action should include:

(a)
Coordination and use of CONUS Replace­ment Center (CRC) to deploy individuals to the exercise site. The DA DCSPER is the proponent for CRC operations and is responsible for coordinating with the theater CINCs to establish flow of individuals through a CRC for an exercise. The FAA will coordinate directly with DA DCSPER, DAPE-PRO, DSN 224-7325, when individual flow to theater is part of the exercise design.

(b)
Coordination for participation of RC CRC units in the exercise. Coordination can be done directly with USARC.

(2)
For CONUS locations all individual flow should be simulated. Exercise planning could include a CRC unit to provide expertise and realism.

(3) Individual replacement play should make use of simulated casualties and U.S. Prisoner of War (PW) actions to provide more realism in the actual procedures for managing replacement actions.
d. Provost Marshal.

3-8. Status of Forces Army regulation 27-50 establishes policies and procedures for safeguarding Anny personnel subject to a foreign jurisdiction or confined in a foreign penal institution.
3-9. Reports
a.
Personnel Status Reports (PERSTATS) will be submitted IAW Exercise Directives.

b.
The FAA or a designated representative will establish a central casualty reporting agency. This agency will prepare and process reports on actual casualties IAW AR60-8-1 and submit the reports via Army Casualty Information Processing System-Light (ACIPS-LT). Simulated casualty reports will developed and submitted through exercise channels using the guidance found in AR 600-8-1. These simulated reports will terminate at the FAA headquarters. Special care and handling of simu­lated reports is required to ensure that exercise messages remain in exercise channels. The AR 25-11 will be closely followed.

c.
Enemy Prisoner of War (EPW) reports (simulated) from CONUS EPW Camps will be submitted through exercise command channels to terminate at the FAA headquarters.

d.
Personnel reports prescribed herein are exempt from reports control under AR 335-15, paragraph 7-2.

CY9
CHAPTER 4
Intelligence
4-1. General This chapter provides guidance, defines responsibili­ties, and assigns tasks, as required, to support the intelligence play of joint exercises. Intelligence operations in joint exercises will be intensively played. Within funding limitations and on request, FORSCOM will supply the maximum personnel and equipment to support all exercise information gathering and intelligence producing activities. The objective is to provide FORSCOM unit commanders and staff with an opportunity to become aware of the need for intelligence in operations planning, to become familiar with agencies available for gathering information and producing intelligence, and to become familiar with capabilities and limitation of each.
4-2. Policy

a.
Intelligence units, intelligence staff person­nel, and evaluators designated to participate in joint exercises will be fully qualified for the assigned mission or positions. Personnel assigned to augment joint staffs must be qualified by rank, experience, or formal training, to perform their designated duties with a minimal requirement for orientation or preparatory training.

b.
Preparatory training will emphasize unit and individual responsibility for cross-service support in the production and use of joint intelligence and will include:

(1)
Instruction on signal (COMSEC/ELSEC) to ensure high standards of signal security are maintained. FORSCOM regulation 350-3, Chapter 6, Section. X, and Appendices C and D, applies.

(2)
Instruction relative to the individual's responsibility for safeguarding military information. FORSCOM regulation 350-3, Chapter 6, Section VIII, applies.

(3)
Individual and unit training in the collec­tion, production, and timely dissemination of usable intelligence. Emphasis should be placed upon analysis and evaluation of intelligence information at the lowest possible level. The FORSCOM Regula­tion 350-3, Chapter 6, Section II, applies.

c.
Maximum practicable use will be made of a competitive, uncooperative, and when feasible, larger-size OPFOR. To ensure maximum realism in training, OPPAR use of appropriate potential adversary tactics, doctrine, and force-ratios is recommended. Army regulation 350-2 and

FORSCOM regulation 350-3, Chapter 6, Section IX, and Appendix A, apply.
d.
Realism in counterintelligence measures to include the training for intelligence and counterintel­ligence activities in support of rear area security will be emphasized. The FORSCOM regulation 350-3, Chapter 6, Section VIII, applies.

e.
Battlefield surveillance and reporting through the use of sensors, and the integration of sensors into all combat and intelligence activities, will be emphasized.

f.
Units and individuals will receive continued instruction and training of interrogation of prisoners of war (IPW), with emphasis upon the proper handling of captured enemy documents and equipment. Maximum use of role players will be included in exercises to enhance the unit's capability to properly handle and interrogate enemy prisoners.

g.
Imagery exploitation support is provided for interface between U.S. Air Force tactical reconnais­sance units and U.S. Army ground commanders. The

U.S.
Army (Active or Reserve Components) assets are available to support joint training exercises within existing operational and resource constraints.

h.

g.
Ensure proper training classification cate­gories are used. Use of "for training only" classifica­tion markings are highly discouraged during the conduct of any exercise. If classified "for training only" markings are used, commanders and security managers must ensure that procedures are in place to segregate actual classified information from training material. During the exercise, material must be controlled in the same manner as actual classified information. Violations involving "for training only" material will be reported in the same channels as violations involving actual classified material. Appropriate training classifications will be assigned IAW the general classification guidance in AR 380-5, Appendix A. The FORSCOM regulation 350-3, Chapter 6, Section VI, para 6-16, and published exercise related classification guides apply.

CHAPTER 5
Logistics
5-1. General This chapter provides guidance and instructions concerning administrative and logistical require­ments for support of joint exercises. Commands and agencies of FORSCOM will provide administrative and logistical support to exercise director/controller, JTF, joint information bureau, joint visitors bureau, dual support forces (when employed), chief umpire/controller, and other forces supporting joint exercises.
5-2. Logistics Concept
a.
Army forces, during the exercise, will be logistically supported as prescribed for joint exercises (para 5-3 and 5-4, below).

b.
Pre-exercise and post-exercise phases will be described by the exercise director concerned.

c.
The FORSCOM administrative, contractual and logistical policies and procedures currently in effect will be used by all Army forces participating in or in support of joint exercises.

5-3. FAA Responsibilities
a. Ensure units participating in and in support of an exercise are self-supporting to the maximum extent possible. Units, unless otherwise directed, will depart home station with the following:
(1)
All TOE-TA and special equipment, as required, for mission accomplishment. All equip­ment so deployed will be in an adequate state of maintenance (10-20 standard) to preclude excessive "down time" on arrival in the exercise area.

(2)
Prescribed loads of repair parts (PLL/ASL), as authorized and required, to include requirements enroute if unit road marches to the exercise area. Prescribed levels for the exercise, normally 15 days, must be on hand when the unit arrives in the exercise area. Care will be taken to screen PLL/ASL and delete items for which no requirement is anticipated.

(3)
Required publications and blank forms for period of absence from home station.

(4)
Minimum 15 day supply of expendables, plus requirements enroute.

b.
Notify CDR, FORSCOM, ATTN: AFLG-P00, 1777 Hardee Avenue, SW., Fort McPherson,

811

GA 30330-1062, as early as possible but NLT 90 days (120 days for RC units) before the starting date of exercise deployment, of any material or support deficiencies that cannot be corrected by a major subordinate command and will prohibit or materially interfere with a unit's accomplishment of its exercise mission. Only equipment essential to the exercise mission will accompany the unit to the exercise (RCS exempt: AR 335-15, para 7-2).

CHAPTER 7 FORSCOM Form 253-R, Field Budget Estimate and Final Cost Report
7-1. Purpose and Scope This chapter lists cost reports required from the FAA in conjunction with joint training exercises. These reports provide:
a. Cost information on which to base funding requirements for each exercise scheduled during the current fiscal year and to provide comparative data for future joint training exercises.

b.
Justification for fund increases if additional funding is required to cover the actual cost of the exercise, or for withdrawal and reprogramming of any savings that exist after termination of the exercise.

c.
Data to update cost factors for developing budgetary estimates for future exercises.

7-2. Preparing Agency The FAA will prepare the consolidated Preliminary Planning Estimate (PPE), Preliminary Field Budget Estimate (PFBE), Field Budget Estimate (FBE) and Final Cost Report (FCR) for each joint training exercise. The FORSCOM Form 253-R, Field Budget Estimate, Final Cost Report, will be used in preparing all reports except the PPE. Forms are available as camera-ready copies from local forms management office. Reports will be submitted to CDR, FORSCOM ATTN: AFOP-TR, 1777 Hardee Avenue, SW., Fort McPherson, GA 30330-1062.
7-3. Requirements
a.
The PPE will be prepared as a Memoran­dum or message. Report is due 30 days after receipt of the message appointing the FAA. The PPE will identify gross initial planning costs by element of expense. There is no requirement for detailed individual line entries. Purpose of this report is justify start-up funding to cover TDY travel, incremental costs of temporary office space, and other costs to be incurred more than 180 days from exercise start.

b.
A PBE, is due 180 days before the start of the exercise. The FAA will prepare a consolidated PBE that contains as a minimum the gross amounts of estimates for OMA, Port Handling, and Inland Transportation required based on information available to the FAA at the time.

.
21816

c.
A detailed FBE is due 90 days before the start of the exercise. The FAA will prepare a FBE that consolidates costs for all FORSCOM units in an exercise. This estimate will be in as much detail as possible (see the example at Figure 7-1).

d.
A FCR is due 90 days or earlier after completion of the exercise. The FAA will submit a Final Cost Report that includes a consolidation of all OMA, CTP, PH, and IT costs chargeable to the exercise. This document will reflect a detailed accounting of actual obligations of exercise funds. An interim report is due by 15 October on all exercises that either cross fiscal years or end less than 90 days prior to the end of the current fiscal year.

e.
Specific suspense dates will be provided for each report in the FAA appointing message. Announced suspense dates are firm unless amended by CDR, FORSCOM, ATTN: AFOP-TR, 1777 Hardee Avenue, SW., Fort McPherson, GA 30330­1062.

7-4. Number of Copies and Routing
Two copies are required by CDR, FORSCOM, ATTN: AFOP-TR, 1777 Hardee Avenue, SW., Fort McPherson, GA 30330-1062.

7-5. Security Classification
Exercise dates and/or forces participating may be classified. Funding estimates will be classified if exercise dates or forces are classified and shown on the report.

7-6. Preparation Instructions

a.
Budget estimates are pre exercise estimates prepared by the FAA for funds required to finance the joint exercise. (Figure 7-1 is an example of a complete Field Budget Estimate.) To give the FAA control as well as flexibility in performing the mission, the FAA will sub allocate funds available for conducting joint exercises. Other participating installation commanders will then request their funds from the FAA by furnishing required justification. Army regulation 37-1 will apply. Direct communication between participating instal-lation commanders and the FAA is authorized.

b.
All recipients of obligation authorities and fund citations for joint exercises will comply with AR 37-1, AR 37-18, and special accounting instructions of the issuing authority. Difficulties encountered by the FAA in noncompliance with these instructions by installations should be submitted to CDR, FORSCOM, 1777 Hardee Avenue, SW., Fort McPherson, GA 30330-1062 for resolution.

d.
The FAA may establish accounting procedures that will ensure the segregation, identifi-

cation, and accurate reporting of funded costs applicable to each of the cost elements listed on FORSCOM Fonn 253-R.
e.
Preparation of budget estimates, use of funds and obligation of funds sub-allocated to finance joint exercise requirements will be JAW finance and accounting directives and AR 350-28. Joint exercise funds will be used only for the Army incremental costs directly associated with the exercise and for those purposes that further the accomplishment of exercise objectives. Installation commanders of participating units will provide the FAA with appropriate funds to cover requirements for supplies that are considered a normal responsibility chargeable to installation funds. This amount will generally represent the total of the amounts subtracted from gross estimated costs developed in F-6f, below. The FAA will issue specific instructions to participating units to implement the funding action.

f.
The FORSCOM Form 253-R, Section B, will show amounts in even dollars opposite the appropriate element of expense (EOR). The report should be totaled and balanced both vertically and horizontally. Justification for each EOE indicated will be furnished on a separate appendix or enclosure. Costs involving more than one fiscal year will be separately identified. Deviations in the final cost report of plus or minus 10 percent from budget estimate will be explained. Costs not included on the final cost report will be absorbed by the appropriate installation commander. Forces Com-mand allocation and withdrawal of funds will be based upon funded costs reported in the FAA budget estimate and final cost report. Performance factors such as tonnage and number of passengers must be captured and reported in the final cost report. The following detailed data is required to support FORSCOM Form 253-R (see Figure?-1):

(1)
TDY Travel. Number of officers, enlisted personnel, and civilian personnel traveling; round trip mileage; destination; mode of travel; number of days at TDY station; and transportation, per diem, and total costs. (TDY travel for exercise observers/visitors is not chargeable to exercise funds.)

CHAPTER 8
Weather Support
8-1. General This chapter outlines the means by which weather services will be provided to Army forces. It describes the mutual support and coordination responsibilities of the Air Force Weather (AFW) and supported Army units. Weather information and service required by FORSCOM units participating in joint exercises are provided or arranged for by the Air Combat Command (ACC). The ACC weather personnel are attached to supported Anny units IAW AR 115-10/A FJ1 15-157 (Weather Support for the
U.S. Army). Weather support requirements will be coordinated with the staff weather officer assigned to the command concerned.
8-2. Normal field Weather Support Requirements
a. Corps and division requirements.
(1) Staff weather support to the commander.
(2)
Forecasting and briefing services at the tactical operations center (TOC).

(3) Observing services at airfields.

(4)
Air crew weather briefing service at the aviation brigade TOC.

b. Armored Cavalry regiment requirements.
(1) Staff weather support to the commander.

(2)

8-3. Weather Support Element Mission Provides information on past, current, and future weather conditions which will enable supported Army commanders to exploit the tactical advantages which might be afforded by those weather condi-tions.
8-4. Concept of Weather Support Army forces will be supported by attached weather support elements tailored to meet operational requirements for weather support according to the following criteria:
a.
Organized and operated under central control (the staff weather officer of the senior Army commander will supervise all weather support elements attached to subordinate Army forces).

b.
Collocated with major command and control elements and tied into existing weather facilities

which could be realistically expected to exist under the general situation of the exercise and as depicted in exercise plan.
c. Mobility comparable to forces supported.

d. Clearly defined functions and responsi­bilities for each weather support element.
8-5. Exercise Planning Exercise directors should include staff weather officers in all phases of exercise planning. Participation of weather personnel in planning activities serves to:
a.
Ensure early consideration of climatology in development of plans.

b.
Permit concurrent planning of weather support tailored to meet exercise requirements.

c.
Ensure availability of advice and assistance on weather implications of the exercise.

8-6. Weather Annexes All operational plans should contain a weather annex outlining in specific terms the weather support required, how the support will be provided, and all assistance required of the supported command. In addition to the weather annex, certain "weather inputs" should be included in other portions of operational plans to facilitate planning. Some major inputs are as follows:
a.
The ACC should be tasked to provide or arrange for weather services required by Army forces.

b.
The communications annex should reflect the specific weather communications requirements to include mobile facilities, if applicable.

c.
The logistics annex should provide for support of weather personnel.

d.
The transportation annex should provide for transportation of weather personnel and equipment to, from, and within exercise locations.

8-7. Deployment and Redeployment of Weather Personnel Weather personnel will accompany supported forces to and from exercise areas. Movement orders for attached weather personnel will be issued by the supported Army commander. If weather personnel join the supported force in the exercise area, the servicing Air Force Military Personnel Flight (MPF) will arrange for or issue orders for weather personnel.
8-8. Funding The FAA will include the cost of Anny weather • support in the exercise budget. Budgeting and funds for weather support forces collocated with, or attached to FORSCOM installations, will be provided

. 000831
IAW paragraph 2-3, above. Weather support force augmentees will be provided or arranged by ACC. Orders will be issued or arranged for by the servicing MPF.
8-9. Equipment and Supplies
a. The ACC will provide meteorological equipment and supplies.
b. Supported Army units will provide:
(1)
Common items of equipment and expend­able supplies, both initial and recurring stock.

(2)
Organizational equipment as required for the exercise by the 1st WG units.

8-10. Communications
a.
The Army or joint command will provide, operate, and maintain mobile weather communica­tions (including interface with circuits, terminal equipment, and service) required from the designated Theater Deployable Communications (TDC) interface point to tactical locations.

b.
The U.S. Air Force or joint command will provide in-theater communications support down to the designated TDC interface point.

CHAPTER 9
Claims
9-1. General This chapter describes procedures for processing claims for joint exercise damages and establishes the following policies:
a.
Maneuver damage claims are payable either under AR 405-15 or AR 27-20. All claims will be processed and investigated as expeditiously as possible.

b.
Accidents and incidents will be investigated as required by AR 27-20, paragraph 2-3c, and information required by paragraph 2-8, above, will be ascertained as soon as possible after the occurrences. Information requirements of AR 27-40 will apply.

c.
Prompt and courteous service will be extended to all claimants and potential claimants.

d.
Claims offices will be located to provide maximum accessibility and convenience to potential claimants. The area claims office may designate special claims processing offices and may delegate approval authority.

e.
Normally the Maneuver Claims Director will be the Division Claims Judge Advocate.

f.
Coordination with all civil agencies and military departments will be completed during the planning stage.

9-2. Procedures
a.
All incidents with the exception of those occurring on permit land generated by participating commands, stations, and units, including joint task force headquarters will be investigated by the Maneuver Claims Director or his appointed representative IAW paragraph H-lb, above, and referred to the designated command for adjudication and settlement. Incidents occurring on permit land will be investigated by the respective Corps of Engineers personnel, IAW AR 405-15.

b.
Engineer claims procedures (AR 405-15) will be used to the maximum extent possible. Under Engineer procedures, an SF Form 95, Claim For Damage, Injury or Death need not be filed to effect settlement; however, if these procedures are unsuccessful, the normal AR 27-20 procedures will be followed. During the initial planning phase, the Exercise Director or designated representative, will program sufficient O&M funds for incidents occurring on permit lands. Immediate coordination with the exercise engineer/district engineer will be effected to ensure sufficient lead time to program the funds required..These procedures are to be emphasized at all stages of initial planning by the area claims authority, Exercise Director, or their appointed representatives.

c.
A memorandum of understanding concern­ing the operational and procedural aspects of exercise claims responsibility for a particular exercise may be executed. The area claims authority for an exercise, or designee, with the concurrence of the Chief, U.S. Army Claims Service, Fort George G. Meade, MD 20755, may enter into and execute an agreement with representatives of other military services and Army elements concerned with maneuver claims activities for a particular exercise. This memorandum of understanding will be made a part of the claims annex to plans for the exercise.

d.
Liaison will be made with FORSCOM or TAC claims representatives regarding claims resulting from Air Force participation in the exercise and other claims to be processed through Air Force channels.

9-3. Responsibilities For joint exercises involving the use of non­government land, the FAA will:
a. Provide a Maneuver Claims Director (MDC), who will be an officer of The Judge Advocate General's Corps, and a sufficient number of other JAG officers with necessary personnel (enlisted

000832
37

or civilian), transportation, and equipment to staff the Maneuver Damage Control Center (MDCC) for investigation, processing, and settlement of maneuver claims. The MDC shall not serve in a dual capacity as the SJA for an exercise force without prior approval of HQ FORSCOM. The MDCC will generally be located with the exercise engineer or the district engineer.
b.
Establish pre maneuver liaison with the exercise engineer/district engineer to arrange coordi­nated operating procedures for the investigation and processing of claims, to obtain office space, and to provide other requirements necessary to support the MDCC. Pre maneuver training and orientation of claims personnel under command of the MDC and designated engineer personnel will be effected upon notice.

c.
Establish and operate claims sub offices at appropriate and convenient locations.

d.
Arrange, through appropriate public infor­mation channels, for advance publicity in the exercise area, to acquaint the civilian population with the locations of the MDCC and sub offices and the procedures necessary for reporting incidents and filing claims.

e.
Provide for the preparation of claims instruction to participating units before the exercise begins and establish procedures for maintaining continuing liaison and coordination with the MDCC and participating units throughout the exercise and after. A point of contact should be established with each participating command, station, and unit for action required before and after completion of the exercise.

E Coordinate with the exercise engineer/dis­trict engineer and assist in the issue of land use permits. A premaneuver survey of the area will be conducted to ascertain existing damage or use and documented, as required. This includes roads, forests, bridges, fields (agricultural areas), water­ways, etc.
g. Arrange for furnishing appropriate engineer units to the neutral force that supports the maneuver claim mission when a neutral force is employed. The neutral force will work for the MDCC and the MDC for the damage mitigation and restoration requirements. The MDCC will maintain maps of the exercise locations and schedule teams to inspect and record incidents. In the event of any serious claim or damage, the MDCC will notify the MDC of any serious accident or damage. Incident reports will be collected daily and posted to the area map. Concentration of heavy maneuver damage will be identified and units cautioned to proceed with regard to damage. If a major accident occurs, engineer units

may perform immediate necessary repairs to public or private property during the course of and after the exercise. Repairs can only be completed with the permission of a landowner. The Maneuver Claims Office should be a party to any restoration activities and a release from the landowner should be coordinated and completed prior to initiating any restoration. These incidents and releases should be closely monitored by the MDC.
9-4. Transient Incidents Incidents occurring while a unit is in transit to or from an exercise area will be promptly investigated IAW with paragraph 9-lb, above (that is, by unit generating the claim). In addition, the unit claims officer will compile this information and send it to his home installation claims office for processing under AR 27-20 and AR 27-40.
9-5. Maneuver Claims Plan In coordination with the U.S. Army Claims Service (as required by AR 27-20, para 1-7b(14) and 1-8c(4)), prepare a maneuver claims plan IAW the general guidance in this appendix and send the plan to Chief,
U.S. Army Claims Service, with an information copy to CDR, FORSCOM, ATTN: AFCG-JA, 1777 Hardee Avenue, SW., Fort McPherson, GA 30330­1062, NLT 45 days before the starting date of the exercise. Personnel augmentation and logistics support requirements for the claims organization will be included in the plan (RCS exempt, AR 335-15, para '7-2y).
9-6. Maneuver Claim After-Action-Report Send FORSCOM Form 254-R, Claims Status/Final Report, Exercise (Figure H-1), which summarizes all maneuver claim activities, to CDR, FORSCOM, ATTN: AFCG-JA, 1777 Hardee Avenue, SW., Fort McPherson, GA 30330-1062, NLT 100 days after termination of the exercise (RCS exempt: AR 335-15, para 7-2v). Local reproduction on 8" x 10-1/2" paper is authorized. A camera-ready copy is available from the local Forms Management Office.
CHAPTER 10

e.
Obtain radio frequency requirements from participating forces and send them to the joint forces frequency coordinator by the specified suspense date. After frequencies have been assigned by the frequency coordinator, a list of assigned frequencies and proposed net structure must be sent to National Security Agency (NSA) for publication in the Automated Communications-Electronics Operating

Instructions (CEOI)..Frequency data must be provided NSA at least 60 days before the in place date requested by the user. Failure to comply with the 60-day lead time could result in CEOI being issued without this information causing users to post frequencies manually (see AR 105-64 and FM 24­16). The services of the Frequency Spectrum Manager are available. Requests for this support should be addressed to the CDR, FORSCOM, ATTN: AFCI-TPM, 1777 Hardee Avenue, SW., Fort
McPherson, GA 30330-1062.
f. Request for service (RFS) for leased circuits will be validated by the FAA before being sent through normal RFS channels (acquiring other validations as needed) to Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) Service Center (DSC), Scott AFB, IL. The FAA validation of the require­ment will be shown in item number 417 (remarks) of the RFS. Once the RFS is submitted and entered into the Telecommunications Certification Office Support System (TCOSS) for processing by the DSC, a program designator code (PDC) will be assigned by USASC DCSOPS to identify funding. The RFS must be submitted to the DSC with adequate lead time to ensure the commercial carrier has sufficient time to provide the service. Lead times are estab-lished by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and vary depending on the type of service and geographical location. The DISA publishes the required lead times in the DISAC 310-130-1 or they can be obtained from the DSC. No RFSs will be processed without FAA validation.

c.
Instrument and visual flight rules (IFR/VFR) will be IAW AR 95-1 and FORSCOM Supplement 1 to AR 95-1 unless deviations are authorized.

d.
Adequate flying hours for self-deployment, as applicable, and exercise participation will be included in the normal flying hour program by the aviation unit concerned.

e. Aviation safety will be integrated into all phases of exercise activity. Commanders will ensure mission play and decentralized control of aviation elements do not create an unsafe aviation environment.
CHAPTER 12
Reserve Component Participation
12-1. General Reserve Component (RC) units are an integral part of the total force. RC units will participate in joint exercises when requested by the exercise CINC/sponsor as part of the WARTRACE trace for the given theater. In some instances, however, units may participate outside their WARTRACE if the units are available and will receive meaningful wartime training. The supported CINC or exercise sponsor will identify a type-unit requirement. The HQ FORSCOM will provide specific unit nominations. The CONUSA, the National Guard Bureau (for ARNG personnel), the U.S. Army Reserve Command (USARC) (for Reserve Personnel), the Active Component sponsor and gaining command should be involved in each decision on units proposed for exercise participation. Reserve Component participation in OCONUS training is governed by AR 350-9 and is coordinated by the Joint and Combined Training Exercise Branch (J&CTE), Training Division (AFOP-TRX) at HQ FORSCOM. Participation in CJCS and other specified exercises that are not coordinated as part of the ODT program are coordinated directly between HQ FORSCOM and CONUSA, USARC and/or NGB, as appropriate. Every effort will be made to provide RC units with a minimum of 18 months notice of selection for participation in a JTX.
12-2. Evaluation
a. Procedures/requirements for evaluating units are prescribed in FORSCOM/ARNG regulation 350-
2.
b.
The exercise FAA will provide required evaluators, conduct, and report results for evalua­tions conducted during CONUS exercises.

c.
For OCONUS exercises, the supported CINC is responsible for providing evaluators and conducting the evaluation under the provisions of AR 350-9.

12-3. OCONUS Exercises
a. All RC units and those AC units supporting RC higher headquarters are governed by the
000835

provisions of AR 350-9 and FORSCOM Supplement 1 to AR 350-9.
b.
The OCONUS commands are required to update the FORSCOM 5-year ODT/Exercise Plan by 1 August annually for the second succeeding fiscal year and 4 out-years.

c.
Changes to the ODT Plan during the execu­tion year are submitted by OCONUS commands, Third U.S. Army, and CONUS-based Corps through the commands' ODT manager to CDR, FORSCOM, ATTN: AFOP-TR, 1777 Hardee Avenue, SW., Fort McPherson, GA 30330-1062.

d.
Participation in CJCS exercises in a trooplisted status will be approved by CDR, FORSCOM, AFOP-TRX, 1777 Hardee Avenue, SW., Fort McPherson, GA 30330-1062.

12-4. CONUS Exercises
a. The HQ FORSCOM (AFOP-TRX) will request the USARC and/or NGB, in coordination with the appropriate CONUSA, nominate units to fill requirements for CJCS or other specified exercises. The following criteria will be used to nominate and select units:
(1)
WARTRACE. Units should participate as part of their primary WARTRACE trace whenever possible.

(2)
Deployment. Priority consideration should be given to earlier deploying units of the scenario being exercised.

(3)
Training Status. Prior to recommending a unit for participation in JTX, peacetime commanders must consider unit capability, training needs, sche­dule and resources available.

(4)
Equipment Requirements. RC units partici­pating in a CONUS JTX will normally be required to arrive in the exercise site with all TOE equipment. Specific equipment instructions will be provided by the exercise sponsor as early as possible in the planning process.

(5)
Geographical Location. Proximity to an exercise location should be considered when funding is limited for participation; and/or travel time, in relation to the length, scope and training value to the unit of the exercise, is inappropriate.

(6)
Required TOE/MTOE. The RC units will be organized under the TOE/MTOE requested by the exercise sponsor unless the low density of such type­units in the force structure limits availability for exercise play. In the latter case, CONUSA may nominate substitute TOE/MTOE units; however, each such nomination will be specifically annotated as a substitute to the original requirement.

(7)
Waivers. The FORSCOM will consider waivers to the criteria above. .Justifications for waivers must accompany unit nominations.

(2)
Forces Command will announce the scenario and units needed as part of the 5-year exercise plan.

(3)
The FAA will coordinate unit train-up, funding,. and transportation of scheduled units with the NGB and USARC, as appropriate.

12-5. Funding Exercise funds are provided IAW AR 350-28, AR 350-9, Chapter 4; and paragraphs 2-5 and 2-6, above.
12-6. Transportation
a.
CONUS. The FAA will coordinate trans­portation arrangements for all force listed units participating in a exercise. Details of movement policy are in Chapter 6 of this regulation.

b.

CHAPTER 17
Public Affairs
17-1. General This chapter provides guidance, defines responsibili­ties, and assigns tasks for the planning and execution of public affairs (PA) activities by FORSCOM units in conjunction with JTX.
a.
Purpose. The goals of PA are to keep the American public informed of military operations to the maximum extent consistent with OPSEC and personnel safety, to promote understanding and support of the military mission, and to achieve and maintain the best relations with all segments of the public -- internal and external (foreign and domestic).

b.
Policy. The PA policy will be determined by the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs (OASD-PA) upon recommendation by the sponsoring CINC. Policy will depend on the nature of the exercise (CPX vs. FTX), visibility within the community, exercise objectives, and any sensitivities associated with the exercise.

c.
Organization. Exercise public affairs will generally be conducted by an Exercise Public Affairs Office or a Joint Information Bureau (JIB), organized by the sponsoring Unified or Specified Command and answering to the Exercise Director. The role of the FAA participating units is to background information on Army/unit topics; information on Army/unit participation in the exercise; provide support as required by sponsoring command, to include personnel to assist in planning; individual personnel augmentation for JIB/Sub JIB/Command Information Bureau (CIB) operations; and recommendations on the need for support from public affairs detachments (PADs).

(3)
Sponsoring command maintains overall responsibility for public affairs with exercise PA activities generally delegated to a Joint Public Affairs Office (JPAO) or JIB, responsible to the exercise director.

(4)
The FAA may set up a CIB as required by exercise events or service-unique PA needs.

b. The PA Activities.
(1) Media Relations.

(a)
The DOD policy calls for full and factual disclosure of information relating to military activities commensurate with national security limitations and personnel safety. With respect to joint exercises, material is releasable within the scope of the approved PA guidance.

(b)
The DOD will make the initial public announcement of all joint exercises. Thereafter, the sponsoring command Public Affairs Officer (PAO) will conduct the PA program.

(c)
Army specific PA activities are the respon­sibility of the FAA. In addition, participating units may discuss exercise related issues as they pertain to

the unit, within the scope of the approved PAG and OP SEC considerations.
(d)
Release of information concerning exercise related accidents/incidents, including the names of casualties, will be released by the Exercise PAO/JPAO/JIB, after coordinating with the service involved. The FAA representative to the JIB may be called on to work through FORSCOM and Depart­ment of the Army Public Affairs.

(e)
The FAA, if tasked by the exercise director, will establish facilities and services for visiting news media representatives, to include registration, billet­ing, transportation, supply, and news room accommodations. Government transportation will be available as appropriate, LAW AR 360-5.

(f)
Sponsoring command will include Army and Air Force Hometown News Service as an addressee on exercise PA guidance. This will serve as the initial notification of a major exercise and will request coverage of participating units. The FAA and participating unit PAOs will encourage participation by their respective units, IAW AR 360-5.

(2)
Command Information. The success of joint exercises depends largely on the understanding and enthusiasm with which they are directed and executed. The commander must ensure participants have the information to develop understanding and interest in the exercise.

(a)
Commensurate with approved PAG, com­manders will present CI material to all troops participating in the joint exercise prior to the start of the exercise. The following is considered minimum essential:

-- The purpose of the exercise to include the unit mission.

48 D 000843
APPENDIX A
Obligation Guidelines for Army CJCS Exercise Funds
A-1. Exercise OMA are provided to cover added costs of participation in a CJCS approved exercise. A simple "rule of thumb" to apply in determining appropriateness for obligating exercise funds is to ask if the service or item will remain useable after conclusion of the exercise. If the service or item is useable, exercise funds probably should not be used.

A-2. Examples of costs which are not appropriate charges to exercise funds include:
a. Purchase of computers, fax machines, beepers, and copiers. These items may be less expense to buy than to lease in the short term. However, when maintenance, shipping, accounting and perishable technology is considered they result in great cost to the U.S. government.
