Communication and Information System (CIS) connectivity / capability to interfacewith the primary JFC and component C 2 systems (e.g. CRONOS, IntegratedCommand and Control system (ICC), Air Command and Control System (ACCS),Maritime Command, Control and Information System (MCCIS), Joint AutomatedDeep Operations Coordination System (JADOCS), etc.)c. Specific PR management tools (i.e mission manager on ICC / JADOCS), and collaborativechat capability.Location0109. The JPRC / PRCC should be located within the operations area of the host headquarters(i.e. the Joint Operation Centre (JOC) or Air Operation Centre (AOC)). Communicationand means to maintain situational awareness are normally fused in theselocations, which facilitates coordination and time sensitive decision making.1.5 Guidance for units with non-CSAR trained and equippedpersonnel1.5.1 Introduction0110. The successful recovery of isolated personnel in the AO can only be achieved ifthe personnel requiring recovery are sufficiently trained and properly documented priorto the start of their mission. The requirement is to follow similar principles but topresent pragmatic guidance that can be tailored to the art of the possible depending onunit role and mission. The guidance should be incorporated in formation/unit planningand execution procedures.1.5.2 Recovery documentation0111. The organisation of personal documentation is essential for the recovery of isolatedpersonnel. Collation and timely dispatch to a PRCC is a fundamental first stagein the organisation of recovery operations. This is achieved by structured and detailedISOPREP and EPA. The JFC is likely to mandate that all personnel at risk of isolationcomplete an ISOPREP as it is a proven format. The information contained in an EPA isessentially standard business for many units and covered by unit orders (actions on),patrol traces, equipment lists and PR SPINS. Units are to ensure that this informationcan be passed to the PRCC or directly to the JPRC without delay.1.5.3 ISOPREP form and management0112. Full guidance and a template of an ISOPREP can be found in Volume III Chapter2.5 and Annex A. Management of personal documentation for non Combat Search AndRescue (CSAR) equipped personnel should be directed by PRCCs as defined by the PRSOP for the operation. For large formations/units the most pragmatic solution may beto retain the data at unit / brigade level. It is vital those personnel are aware of thecontent of their ISOPREP and that any other individual other than those in the Recoverychain of command does not know the contents. Once complete the ISOPREP is classifiedConfidential.NATO UNCLASSIFIED RELEASABLE TO THE PUBLIC
