Two 11

Administration (N1)

• Topic1. Admin Manning (2 pers for 5 subunits and ~900 NEF personnel)2. Daily Muster/PERSTAT POA 3. MI&E (PMR vs CMR)4. Travel requests, DTS orders and Battle Records for CTF/NEF pers

• Recommendation1. Request 1-2 additional YN/PS (1 E6-E7 preferred) * Able to act as N1 where needed (SIQ, Watch, briefs, etc) * Secondary N1A (e.g. watch, rest, SIQ, etc)2. Quickly establish muster/PERSTAT procedures and deadlines

(use CTF 56 format)3. Identify CMR vs PMR MI&E allowance by NECC4. Establish NEF due dates for travel requests to NECC, DTS orders

submission and Battle Records (Page 2, SGLI, no-fee passport)


Two 12

Intelligence (N2)

• EXEC

1. CCIRs not established

• Recommendation

1. Establish enduring CCIRs for use in multiple phases to drive PIR, IR, FFIR generation and to focus the TOC on meeting CDREs information requirements.


Two 13

Intelligence (N2)

• TOC

1. TOCEX Schedulea. TOCEX Schedule was not adhered too, mtgs were late, codes were not prepared

2. TOC Watchesa. Standing of watches not required,

i. Unable to establish T/O procedures

ii. Practice Relief for Chow/Head

3. TOC Manning a. TOC not properly manned

• Recommendation

1. Establish TOCEX Director whom is responsible for maintaining SOE

2. Stand watches to practice all functions

3. Request 4x additional bodies from NECC (BW Phone/Cop)


Two 14

Intelligence (N2)

• INTEL

1. INTEL Watch JQRa. Intel Watch JQR out of date (2010)

2. INTEL Watch Turnover proceduresa. Intel Watch turnover procedures have not been established

3. Basic Intelligence templates not built

• Recommendation

1. N2 to scrub JQR and tailor to a NEF ECH IV AFP

2. N2 to establish baseline turnover checklist

3. Build: CUB templates for Intel, Daily Intentions Message (DIMs) template, and RFI reporting procedures


Two 15

Intelligence (N2)

• COMMS

1. E-ICOP a. E-ICOP not functional

2. Comms Set-up a. Comms readiness was amazing, but can be improved to minimize excessive

Delay in Comms being functional

• Recommendation

1. Include in SAR/GAR msg to ensure can be used in NETC2.

2. Establish a checklist to ensure all staff are on the same page and focused on having all systems and functions up (i.e., logins, distros built, bookmarks, share drives built, ability to post to share drive(s), OWA to NIPR, OWA to SIPR, receive e-mails internal, receive e-mails from external)


Two 16

Intelligence (N2)

• AT/FP

1. Force Protection Officera. Lack of designated Force Protection Officer created tasking bleed to other codes.

2. ECP (Daytime)a. Personnel weren’t screened at a viable ECP creating security violation rich environment

3. Camp Watches (nighttime)a. Not pre-briefed on duties/expectations

• Recommendation

1. Designate FPO to run point with Landward Security element, maintain/train ECP.

2. RFF for 2-4 personnel to train and man the ECP. Give the rosters of cleared personnel, train to handle VIPs/LNO visits/Foreigners. Give them authority for patdowns and confiscate PED (i.e., phones)

3. Ensure that watches arrive on time and plan to remain onsite during their time period (forces chow discussion). Provide Watch/Roundschecklist (i.e., verify shred bags in place, verify fire extinguishers near generators still there, check in with N6, verify integrity of other tent flaps, clean, etc…)


Two 17

Intelligence (N2)

• CAMP

1. Tent Cleanlinessa. Cleanliness lacking

2. Tent Basicsa. Basic items required in most tents

• Recommendation

1. Each tent should address internally their cleaning standards and frequency.

2. Ensure each tent has a fire extinguisher, sledge hammer for EDP, and properly labeled shred bag


Two 18

Operations (N3)

• Manning• Request Augments to make up aThree BW rotation(24hr ops)

• Requires BWC(03)/BWA(01/02)/BWS(E6/E7).

• Request an Operations Specialist team (geeks operators/radio operators), comprising of 4 OS’s to be placed on the three battle watches and a OSCS as Team lead.

• Title X functions• OWA on SIPR • SVTC• Backup in case of total failure for more than a day…Bogue Field


Two 19

Battle Watch (BWO)

• Lessons learned (action)

1. TOC Manning:

2. Printer location:

3. Location of N2 and Triad work spaces IRT:

4. TOC Configuration:

5. A/C return line

6. Chat/CENTRIX familiarization training

• Lessons learned (supply)

1. General supplies ordered – status

2. VGA switches for changing monitors

3. classifications signs (UNCLASS,SECRET/NOFORN, CENTRIX)

4. Chairs suitable for 12 hour watches


Two 20

Logistics (N4)

• Facility and Logistic Infrastructure

1. Camp configuration to support consolidated footprint while recognizing OPSEC and ECU configuration

a. ESU will provide alternate layout recommendation

2. Personnel Identification, to include numbers. a. Solidify personnel count IOT contract and request via Camp Lajeune services and This

drives messing support and to identify any additional camp infrastructure needs

3. Internal Comms a. Working with N6 to identify acceptable hand-helds to support dispatch and physical

security

4. Supplies identification

a. Require comprehensive list from N codes to identify administrative supplies for BA.


Two 21

Communications (N6)

• N6 COMMUNICATIONS:

• Topic: Communications Requirements for Stability Operations

• Discussion: Discussion of the communications requirements needed for the CTF revolved around workspaces in the tent and did not provide what was needed to appropriately task subordinate units under the NEF on what communications they will be required to communicate on or over.

• Recommendation: Clearly identify systems that are needed to C2 units. This includes radio assets, NIPR/SIPR/CTX (if needed), COP applications (C2PC, AFATDS, etc…). This needs to be clearly identified between N3 and N6.


Two 22

Medical (N9)

• Topic

1. Talking point – Recompression chamber

2. Talking point – Ambulance

3. Talking point – SIPER access

4. Identify problems and speak to solutions; a. some areas areas of interest,
