Nothing in this agreement impairs or otherwise affects the authority of the Secretary of Defense over the DOD.
The Secretary of Defense shall retain command of military forces providing CS.
Individuals within (insert component title) forces deployed during an initial response action will recognize their force
presentation structure, understand their chain of command, know the source of their taskings and support, and be able
to affect an efficient hand-off to follow-on forces.
All signing parties will develop pre-incident plans for training, mobilization, deployment and field operations in order
to sufficiently execute aid and support.
All signing parties agree to implement and employ the ICS, Unified Command System, MACS, and PIS as stated in
paragraph (d).
In large scale or cross-jurisdictional incidents the ICS process calls for the formation of a unified command. In
incidents involving multiple jurisdictions a unified command allows agencies with different legal, geographic, and
functional responsibilities to work together effectively. If such an incident occurs, (insert civil parties) and (insert
installation title) will establish and act in accordance with a unified command.
An emergency involving a natural or technological hazard which is or may be communicable may require quarantine
or restriction of movement to prevent the spread of contamination.
If appropriate PPE and capabilities are not available and an area is determined to be contaminated by hazardous
materials or disease agents, it is possible that response actions into a contaminated area may be delayed until the
material has dissipated to a level that is safe for emergency response personnel to operate or until appropriate
personal protective equipment and capabilities arrive, whichever is sooner.
NRF policies and procedures must be taken into account for all actual and potential incidents even prior to the arrival
of Federal assets.
Agreements, other than for firefighting support, that require the Army to reimburse a nonprofit organization, city,
county, or State government must be executed with a contract.
The (insert installation title) and (insert civil parties) will pre-establish procedures to allow civilian emergency
authorities access to the installation during periods of restricted access, (including but not limited to times of
heightened security or increased force protection conditions). These procedures will be included in this support
agreement.
(Insert all additional assumptions necessary to execute aid and support identified in this support agreement).
