Uncategorized Oct 13, 2020

WARNO-DELTA-001 

  1. SITUATION: Following the widespread predictions that the 2020 hurricane season would be more active than usual, Hurricane Laura barrelled onshore to the United States yesterday 27 August 2020, making landfall near Lake Charles, LA.  Subsequently, on 09 October 2020 Hurricane Delta struck essentially the same region as a Category 2 with wind speeds approaching 100 MPH.  Aerial Recovery Group (Aerial), including its Volunteer Corps and team of Green Berets (OD-R), is preparing for their 3rd deployment to the region to assist with the relief efforts.
  2. Friendly Forces:

(1) Higher Commands Mission: TBD

(2) Higher Commands Intent: To recover quickly and effectively in all regions affected by Hurricane Laura and Hurricane Delta. 

  1. Attachments and Detachments: Aerial organic personnel- Aerial volunteer corps, military personnel, medical personnel, production team.
  2. MISSION: Aerial Recovery Group personnel deploy no later than 161300ZOCT20 (1:00 p.m. 16 OCT 2020) in support of relief operations in the Lake Charles area of Louisiana, USA., providing supplies, situational awareness and operational coordinations to those affected by Hurricane Laura.
  3. EXECUTION: 
  4. Concept of the Operation. This operation will be conducted in three separate phases.

(1) PHASE 1: (This phase starts immediately upon receipt of this WARNO and ends when Aerial personnel and attachments have reached the Area of Operations (AO)) Planning and pre-deployment preparation begins. Aerial personnel will stage response equipment and personnel 24 hours prior to deployment.  Aerial Volunteer Corps members selected to respond will link up with Aerial main body prior to initial movement from Aerial’s Nashville staging area.  Those who will link up by air will make coordinations with the Aerial logistical team.  Main body and attachments will move from staging area to the designated AO within the Lake Charles region (GOPHR HQ). 

(2) PHASE 2: (This phase starts upon arrival to the AO and ends with the departure from the AO) Aerial conducts a link up with local officials and contacts on the ground and begins set up of operations center.  Aerial establishes bed down location and operations center and begins relief operations.  Relief operations and coordinations are conducted for a yet to be determined time period and then passed off to the follow-on unit. Aerial breaks down operations center, prepares for movement back to staging area and volunteers begin movement back to home bases.

(3) PHASE 3: (This phase starts upon departure from the AO and ends with all personnel safely returning to home bases) Aerial departs AO along a predesignated route to Nashville staging area.  Volunteers are returned home and equipment is cleaned and properly stored for potential follow-on operations. 

  1. Tasks to OD-Rs: Begin equipment preparation, planning and pre-deployment procedures as outlined in Aerial OD-R standard operating procedures.
  2. Tasks to support units:

Volunteer Corps: Finish all necessary preparations for deployment to include Aerial Recovery Group online basic training (3hrs). Prepare go- bag and all necessary equipment (see Aerial volunteer SOPs).
