4. Two CVOAs proposed for use during HADR operations (see depiction on separate slide) Operational Periods to allow for support of all operational requirements: Inbound transit from Open Ocean area to Leyte Gulf (0400-0700) Daytime-only Helo / E-2 / C-2 flight ops in support of HADR mission (0700-1700) Outbound transit from Leyte Gulf to Open Ocean area (1700-2000) Night-time ops in Open Ocean area (2000-0400) Night-time events to be scheduled as required throughout duration of this operation (not necessarily concurrently): Limited fixed-wing flight operations to support CVW-5 night currency (2000-2359) UNREP / FAS for GWA re-supply (2000-2359) ORSE Drill periods – Period 1 (2000-2359), Period 2 (0001-0400) Shipboard “housekeeping” requirements (> 50 NM from nearest land) CVN Daily Operational Rhythm

5. The RP/US Visiting Forces Agreement permits US military & civilian personnel into the Philippines for HA and DR ops when approved by the GRP (RP-US HADR CONOPS) Other foreign military personnel are not allowed in the RP except under treaty or national emergency as proscribed by the GRP Constitution The GRP has declared a state of national calamity and requested and accepted assistance from foreign countries US Chief of Mission has submitted a disaster declaration cable to USAID/OFDA and DOS has requested US DOD assistance SECDEF has directed CDRUSPACOM to conduct foreign humanitarian assistant ops IRT Super Typhoon 31W (HAIYAN/YOLANDA) effects in the republic of the Philippines. Facts / Status / Conditions

6. Clark AB is operable and GRP will grant all necessary over flight and base landing clearances Suitable HLZs are being identified by III MEB HN emergency broadcast capabilities are operational RP will provide security in disaster area for US forces and humanitarian organizations USAID/OFDA humanitarian stocks are available (not pre-staged in PI) GWASG enroute vicinity of Leyte Gulf and Eastern Samar. Tacloban will be established as hub for supply distribution. Facts / Status / Conditions Cont.

7. Supports USAID/OFDA typhoon Haiyan relief efforts in the Republic of the Philippines (RP) IOT prevent loss of life and alleviated human suffering ICW RP forces and requested US Capabilities HHQ Mission

8. PURPOSE.  Provide immediate support to AFP and OFDA relief efforts in the devastated area to reduce further loss of life and mitigate human suffering. METHOD.  Employ forces and capabilities to provide damage assessments, intra-theater lift support to USAID/OFDA and mil-mil support to the SFP in the affected areas to enhance GRP response efforts in coordination with JUSMAG-PHIL.  GRP will lead relief efforts with support from the USG lead federal agency (USAID/OFDA) and USPACOM forces.  As relief efforts begin to transition to recovery, U.S. Forces will transition support functions to other organizations and/or agencies as soon as practical and ICW LFA and the U.S. Ambassador. Upon mission completion, U.S. Forces redeploy as directed. ENDSTATE.  USAID/OFDA and AFP no longer require DOD/USPACOM assistance, loss of life and human suffering has been minimized, applicable U.S. Forces are safely redeployed and JSOTF-P terminates mil-to-mil support to AFP relief efforts. USPACOM Commander’s Intent

9. PHASE I - CRISIS ASSESSMENT AND IMMEDIATE RESPONSE (ONGOING).This phase will likely continue throughout the operation to monitor conditions and evolving needs.  Assessment teams may also be employed to identify potential projects and activities in support of Ref B and longer term goals under security cooperation parameters. PHASE II - DEPLOYMENT.  USPACOM Will deploy assets to meet identified GRP requirements as validated by and AFP mil-mil support capabilities, primarily to support the movement of relief supplies, equipment, and personnel in support of AFP relief efforts.  Initial deployment will be to the main GRP relief staging base in Manila PHASE III - RELIEF OPERATIONS.  Deployed forces will conduct support activities with the supported organizations.  Main operations will likely include the movement of personnel, supplies and resources from manila to regional distribution hubs and ISR to support SAR efforts, but may also include deploying forward to facilitate further distribution efforts and conducting limited clearing operations to facilitate and enable onward movement of relief supplies and equipment.  Identifying and setting transition conditions and planning for transition execution is a key aspect of this phase. PHASE IV - TRANSITION.  In coordination with the supported organizations, transition of dod activities will begin as soon as possible.  As conditions are met for individual task transition, DOD will handover responsibilities to AFP or other trusted agents when those agencies are fully capable of sustaining the relief effort. PHASE V - REDEPLOYMENT.  Redeployment will begin as capabilities and support activities are transitioned to other organizations, or as informed by the U.S. Ambassador. USPACOM Commander’s CONOPS

13. Constraints CTF 70 must operate in accordance with the RP-US HA/DR CONOPS Keep operation UNCLASSIFIED to maximum extent possible Light lift capability of embarked Helos Must operate within confines of Visiting Forces Agreement Restraints US DOD response does not duplicate the response activities of other organizations Limitations

14. GWASG will operate in a manner to minimize transit while maximizing lift No Alert posture set for LRA intercept GWASG will disaggregate to support APODs and SPODS ivo Ormoc, Guiuan, and Eastern Samar USNS BOWDITCH will complete survey prior to GWA entering Leyte Gulf Have authority to embark relief partner nations personnel on aircraft and ships No local C2 exists, CVN will act as C2 Node HADR takes priority over CSG readiness and training Daytime relief operations only COD will service CVN only HADR operations will have impacts on CVW currency creating shortfalls for follow on surge tasking Assumptions

15. Change in status of critical APOD/SPODs Pending natural disaster that may affect SGOA Has the security situation degraded to the point where GRP can no longer provide for the safety of US personnel? Has CTF 70 been requested to conduct additional operations outside the SGOA? Any report of outbreak of disease that may affect US Forces ability to conduct HADR relief operations. Loss of critical capabilities Event that discredits US government or CTF 70 efforts Significant change in scope/scale of GRP request for support Recommended Commander’s CIRs

16. Public Affairs Statement: The U.S. Navy expresses its condolences to the people of the Philippines who are experiencing terrible loss in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda. Because of the long-standing partnership and interoperability between the two nations, the U.S., working through the Philippine government, is able to rapidly respond with critically needed capabilities and supplies in times of crisis. Themes: • The U.S. military is working with the Philippine government to rapidly deliver humanitarian assistance and disaster relief to the areas the Philippine government deems most in need. • DoD maintains a significant capability forward deployed throughout the Indo-Asia- Pacific region ready to provide humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. • The U.S. military has a history of successfully working with international relief organizations and host nations to respond to those affected by natural disasters.

22. CTF 70, in support of III MEB, provides humanitarian assistance in the Republic of the Philippines in support of the GRP to minimize loss of life and mitigate human suffering. Mission Statement (Proposed)

23. Purpose. Minimize the loss of life and mitigate the human suffering resulting from the typhoon in Republic of Philippines. Method. Provide assistance in deploying assessment team to conduct initial coordination, assess requirements and report back to the III MEB Focus of effort Eastern Samar, Ormoc, and Guiuan. Provide forward deployed Afloat Staging Base and employ required humanitarian assistance (HA) capabilities in theater to include Helo lift, Air control, limited medical support, SAR and ISR. Coordinate with US Embassy Manila, GRP, AFP and other Humanitarian assistance organizations and agencies throughout. Transition US humanitarian assistance functions to other organizations/ agencies as soon as practical and redeploy/reposition forces as directed. Endstate. Demand for emergency relief decreases to the point where the GRP and the humanitarian community can meet relief requirements and begin recovery operations without US military assistance. Further loss of life is reduced and human suffering is mitigated. Commanders Intent(Proposed)
