MANPOWER FORCE ELEMENT LISTING
UTC TITLE: FFRA1, MED NUC INCIDENT RESP FORCE 1
MISSION CAPABILITIES STATEMENT
This UTC provides manpower and equipment necessary to respond to accidents/incidents involving radioactive materials. The team has the capability to provide in-depth technical assistance in identifying immediate health risks associated with radiological threats encountered on the modern battlefield or military operations other than war. Advises operational commanders on immediate measures necessary to minimize risk to deployed forces from a radiological threat, and assists in directing their implementation. This UTC may be deployed in two ways: a stand alone UTC or a forward team with follow-on of FFRA2. For small-scale incidents, this UTC may act on its own with no requirement for additional AFRAT (Air Force Radiation Assessment Team) support. For large-scale incidents, this UTC may be deployed as a forward team and be charged with making appropriate recommendation for follow-on AFRAT UTCs. AFSC cross-utilization is not authorized. Grade/skill substitutions are authorized in accordance with AFI 10-403. BOS required.

DRAFT UNIT ASSEMBLAGE EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
DEPLOYMENT INDICATOR CODE (DEPID) 1, In-being unit. All equipment and personnel required to support the UTC are possessed by the unit. Functionally, can operate on a stand-alone basis but may be augmented to provide increased capability.
UNIT LEVEL CODE: ELEMENT (ELM)
PROPOSED PILOT UNIT: Institute for Environment, Safety and Occupational Health (ESOH) Risk Analysis (IERA), 311th Human Systems Wing, Brooks AFB, TX.
RATIONALE FOR DEVELOPMENT: This UTC is being developed in response to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction (CJCSI) 3214.01, Military Support to Foreign Consequence Management (CM) Operations, Mar 98, which deals with the military response to NBC weapons of mass destruction, as well as, NATO ACE (Allied Command Europe) directive 80-63, ACE Policy for Defense Measures Against Low Level Radiological Hazards during Military Operations, dealing with radiological force protection issues. In addition this UTC supports Presidential Decision Directive 39, "The U.S. shall give the highest priority to developing capabilities to manage the consequences of NBC materials or weapons use by terrorists"; as well as Presidential Decision Directive, 56, Managing Complex Contingency Operations. Both of these directives call for the development of national NBC response assets. Executive Order 12656 (Assignment of Emergency Preparedness Responsibilities), 12148 (Federal Emergency Management), and 12241 (National Contingency Plan) requires that each service maintain an emergency radiation team. The AF team is required by AF132-4001 to be available for deployment in support of on-scene commander in support of a radiation accident or incident. The U'I'C is designed to provide the wartime commander with the health physics technical expertise required to address radiological threats encountered on the battlefield. While other UTCs incorporate some radiation detection capability, none of these existing UTCs provides the in-depth technical health physics expertise to fully assess the risk to deployed personnel. This UTC fills that void.

UTC TITLE: FFRA2, MED NUC INCIDENT RESP FORCE 2
MISSION CAPABILITIES STATEMENT
This UTC provides manpower and equipment augmentationto FFRA1 necessary to respond to accidents/incidents involving radioactive materials. The team has the capability to provide in-depth technical assistance in identifying immediate health risks associated with radiological threats encountered on the modern battlefield or during military operations other than war. Advises operational commanders on immediate measures necessary to minimize risk to deployed forces from a radiological threat, and assists in directing their implementation. This UTC may be a follow-on team to augment the capabilities of FFRA1. During deployment as a follow-on AFRAT UTC, this UTC will be charged with assisting in site-characterization and remediation, for 24 hour surveillance. AFSC cross-utilization is not authorized. Grade/skill level substitutions are authorized in accordance with AFI 10-403. BOS required.
