Command, Control, Coordination, and Cooperation during Defense Support to Civil Authority Operations

Abstract

Hurricane Katrina response operations revealed that command, control, coordination, and cooperation (C4) between Title 10 and Title 32 forces needed improvement. The lack of effective C4 between Title 10 and Title 32 resulted in duplicate effort and less than optimal use of critical resources. Through the use of the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC), more than 456,000 National Guard soldiers, airmen, and their equipment from all states are available to support emergency operations. However, large scale and sustained operations that would be required in the response to an Incidence of National Significance (INS) or catastrophic event require a more systematic approach. This paper will define an appropriate C4 relationship between, USNORTHCOM, The National Guard Bureau (NGB), and The States Governors/State Adjutants General in time of INC or Catastrophic event.
