Chapter 14
Equipment Fielding and Sustainment
14–1. Equipment acquisition and fielding
a. Capability development and integration. Per the Army Protection Directive 2011–04, the Army’s intent is to
synchronize all Army protection-relation functions into a comprehensive, integrated system to maximize the protection
of the Army community from all natural, technological, and terrorism hazards. It is the responsibility of the Army EM
Program to integrate these specific pre-existing response and recovery capabilities based upon common standards and
compatible priorities while deconflicting resource requirements and consolidating common core capability sets identified
in chapter 2 under a single organizational umbrella focused on meeting the installation commander’s intent and
need for comprehensive, integrated, all-hazards EM. Installations and applicable functional areas should contact their
assigned program sponsor through their applicable installation-owning command for information regarding integration
and sustainment of specific equipment fielded under the independent initiatives.
b. Functional area baseline requirements. All functional areas have required baseline capabilities established by
regulation or supporting documentation in order to execute their assigned functions at the installation level. These
baseline requirements remain the responsibility of the originating resource sponsor for sustainment in terms of
manpower, training, equipment, and exercise costs.
c. Functional area initiatives. Multiple functional areas, including MTFs, fire and emergency services, AT Program,
law enforcement, information technology, and public works, have fielded installation-specific or program-wide initiatives
applicable to multiple components of EM, especially regarding destructive weather, seismic hazards, aircraft
crashes, cyber incidents, and terrorism. These individual initiatives are the responsibility of the originating resource
sponsor for sustainment in terms of manpower, training, equipment, and exercise costs.
d. Army Emergency First Responder Program. The AEFRP was developed and resourced by DAMO–ODP to meet
urgent resource needs from Category 5 first responders in the field. This requirement was justified through the urgent
requirement capabilities document signed by the Joint Requirements Office for CBRN Defense. The fielding, integration,
and sustainment of equipment fielded under the AEFRP effort is coordinated across active, Reserve, and ARNG
components by DAMO–ODP. Some installations were upgraded from AEFRP to JPM–IPP (as explained in paragraph
14.1.f) with the remaining installations categorized as “standalone” AEFRP. The “standalone” AEFRP equipment
sustainment is covered using TACOM life-cycle management command (LCMC). Installations should contact their
installation-owning command for details on sustainment
e. Joint Project Manager - Installation Protection Program . Per FM 3–11.34, JPM–IPP was originally established
as JPM Guardian in May 2003 “to provide DOD prioritized installations with an integrated CBRN protection and
response capability to reduce casualties, maintain critical operations, contain contamination, and effectively restore
critical operations”. The goals of the program were to “provide an effective CBRN protection, detection, identification
and warning system for installation protection, ensure integration of CBRN network with existing command, control,
communications, and intelligence (C3I) capabilities to provide effective information management, provide a capability
that will allow for rapid restoration of critical installation operations, protect DOD civilians, contractors and other
persons working or living on U.S. Military installations and facilities, and equip and support civil support teams,
installation support teams, regional response teams and recon/decon(tamination) teams.” Per FM 3–11.34, the first step
taken by JPM–IPP to “properly prepare an Installation against a possible CBRN attack was the acquisition, fielding,
and employment of specialized equipment necessary for effective detection and defense against such an attack.”
JPM–IPP fielded this specialized equipment to installations based upon a mission-based installation tier structure (see
