personnel list by their supported commander. Designation of personnel shall comply with all requirements identified in
DODI 3020.37, DODD 1404.10, and DODI 1400.32. See chapters 5 and 10 for more information.
c. Scope. Category 1 personnel include all personnel supporting MEFs and identified in approved COOP plans.
d. Training and education. Category 1 personnel must be trained per chapter 13 and, if necessary, equipped per
chapter 14, to assess hazards, successfully execute relocation procedures, communicate the status of their team, protect
themselves from expected hazards, and perform their assigned duties. All personnel shall receive Ready Army
Community Awareness training which prepares them to evacuate, shelter, or SIP as directed by the command. Category
1 personnel must understand the roles and potential actions of Category 5 response personnel. All Category 1 personnel
require detailed task-specific training on those tasks assigned to the personnel during an emergency. See chapter 13:
Education and training for additional information.
e. Protection strategy. Protection strategies will be dependent upon mission requirements, but shall always consider
movement to an ERF as the primary means of protection. See chapter 10 for additional information on Continuity
Program requirements.
Table D–1
Category 1 personnel
Category Personnel
Category 1 Military, DOD civilians, and DOD contractors supporting a MEF.
Category 1
(Continuity service
providers)
Personnel (U.S. or Non-U.S. citizens) providing continuity services to MEFs during emergency conditions
and who require installation access during an emergency.
D–2. Category 2 personnel
a. Category 2 personnel. The protected populace is the key planning figure in resource management of evacuation
and mass care operations. This planning figure provides installation commanders and installation EM personnel with a
firm estimate of the number of personnel to be evacuated from the impacted area, which will assist in the determination
of traffic flow, provision of vehicles for assisted transportations, and specialty vehicles for those with special needs or
identified special populations within the Installation community. This planning figure also assists in determining the
proper amount of water, meals, beds, and supplies necessary to temporarily safe haven this population and the number
of spaces to request should it be necessary to shift this population to civilian shelters or to a remote safe haven
location.
b. Requirement. Category 2–4 personnel shall be identified by an aggregate population number, which will serve as
a planning figure for evacuation management, mass care management, and incident management purposes. The
combined numbers of each of these categories (Category 2, 3, and 4) comprise the overall protected populace of the
command. It is absolutely critical that this planning figure be as accurate as possible and be broken down into the
appropriate subcategories in order to provide correct, actionable information.
c. Policy alignment. The above definition of Category 2–4 personnel meets the overarching definition of “other
personnel” provided in DODI 6055.17 and DODI 2000.16. The delineation of Categories 2–4 is based upon FM 3–11.
34 and is due to the differing legal responsibilities held by the installation commander for non-U.S. Citizens and for
allied and/or coalition personnel.
d. Scope. Category 2 personnel include all U.S. personnel who do not perform (1) a MEF, (2) provide service
support to continuity or response capabilities, or (3) provide response and recovery capabilities onboard the installation.
As noted in the overview above, the number of Category 2 personnel may fluctuate depending upon the scope and
severity of a given emergency. Not every individual or capability identified within Categories 1 and 5 is required for
every emergency resulting from every hazard. Category 2 personnel include all other U.S. personnel, such as:
U.S. military family members living on and off a military installation.
Nonemergency-essential U.S. military personnel, DOD civilian employees, and other persons covered by DODI
1400.32.
DOD Contractor (and subcontractor) employees other than those performing emergency-essential DOD contractor
services.
Employees of other U.S. Government agencies.
Other U.S. Government contractor (and subcontractor) employees.
State and local Government agencies and their contractors (Army National Guard installations).
e. Sub-categorization. Though Category 2 personnel are only required to be categorized by overall population
