Guidelines for Military Mass Casualty Decontamination Operations During a Domestic HAZMAT/Weapon of Mass Destruction Incident damage. When such conditions exist and time does not permit prior approval from higher headquarters, local military Commanders and responsible officials of other DoD Components are authorized by DoD Directives, subject to any supplemental direction that may be provided by their DoD Component, to take necessary action to respond to requests of civil authorities. All such necessary action is referred to in this Directive as "Immediate Response." 19,20 Implementing this support must be consistent with the Posse Comitatus Act. 25 Any Commander or official acting under the Immediate Response authority of DoD Directives shall advise the DoD Executive Agent through command channels, by the most expeditious means available, and shall seek approval or additional authorizations, as needed. 19 4.0 Communication and Coordination with Civilian Incident Command INTENT: Establish communication with local Incident Command and determine situational needs and conditions. Effective response and recovery actions depend on effective communications among all participating people, agencies, and jurisdictions. NIMS are designed to assist in this communication using a standardized approach to incident management. Under NIMS, civilian response agencies use the Incident Command System to establish and maintain order and control of the scene. 8,26 The Command and General Staff positions, shown in Figure 1, implement the Incident Command System principle of unity of command. Command Staff positions are shown in black and General Staff positions are shown in white. Only the Incident Commander position is required for each response. The other positions are filled depending on the nature and severity of the incident. Figure 1: Incident Command System Showing Unity of Command.

Guidelines for Military Mass Casualty Decontamination Operations During a Domestic HAZMAT/Weapon of Mass Destruction Incident This command structure is effective during a multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional response, particularly one that requires MCD. It can expand into a Unified Command that enables agencies with different legal, geographic, and functional responsibilities to coordinate, plan, and interact effectively within a common response framework. In a Unified Command structure, individuals designated by their jurisdictional authorities jointly determine objectives, plans, and priorities. They work together to execute the plans instead of relying on one Incident Command to do this. This is accomplished without losing agency authority, responsibility, or accountability. 26 It is vital to plan and coordinate with civilian authorities before an incident occurs. This helps military personnel integrate with civilians more easily when a situation occurs that requires MCD. Providing decontamination assistance to civilian response agencies requires detailed coordination in areas such as communications, logistics, and planning. Civilian and military operations should be constantly coordinated to achieve the incident objectives of saving lives, preventing human suffering, mitigating property damage, and/or limiting the spread of contamination. The civilian Incident Commander will request military assistance through their emergency management chain to the Governor’s office. Once deployment orders are issued, the Commander establishes an Advance Echelon that represents all key unit components and deploys to the civilian Incident Command’s location. The Advance Echelon then establishes liaison and communications with Incident Command, 2,23 and determines local needs, available resources, and capabilities. The military should provide the civilian Incident Commander with a list of available personnel and equipment. The military Commander and civilian Incident Commander should prepare a joint Site Safety Plan to adequately address potential hazards. 5.0 All-Hazard Threats INTENT: Understand the all-hazards threats that could lead to a mass casualty incident that requires MCD during emergency response. The all-hazards approach to emergency management provides a basic framework for responding to a variety of disasters. Understanding threats that could require MCD is essential to preparation and response. Regardless of the cause, the tactics, techniques, and procedures remain generally the same for any situation where mass casualties require immediate decontamination—flush them with a large quantity of water as quickly as possible.

Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, or floods, can also result in release of contaminants.
