Army Emergency Management Program - Federation of American ...

assigned manager for the VIPP management decision evaluation package (MDEP) within the POM development
process under the DOD Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Executing System (PPBES). The Army EM program
manager is responsible for the development and management of all policy related to implementation and execution of
the Army EM Program, shall lead the Army EMSG, and shall serve as the Army’s representative to the DOD EMSG
and the International Association of Emergency Managers Uniformed Services Caucus.
c. Higher headquarters emergency management program coordinator. Each higher headquarters shall designate in
writing an EM program coordinator. Each higher headquarters EM program coordinator shall be responsible for
coordinating the implementation and execution of the Army EM Program at subordinate ACOMs. Supplemental
guidance will follow the guidance and constraints detailed in paragraph 3–8b of this chapter.
Note. Where applicable, ASCC EM program coordinators shall identify theater-specific requirements applicable to the Army EM
Program and forward these requirements, along with identified costs, to the Army EM program manager at DAMO–ODP. These
requirements are based upon the GCC or theater commander’s operations plans (OPLANS) and typically includes tasking for
Installations within a specific geographic area (as defined by the GCC) for additional installation capabilities to support one or more
mission assignments. Theater-specific requirements require additional resources for successful planning, organization, training,
equipping, exercising, and sustaining these capabilities and therefore require incorporation in the POM process.
d. Installation-owning commands’ emergency management program coordinators. Each installation-owning command
(IMCOM, AMC, USARC, or ARNG) is responsible for directing and guiding the implementation of the Army
EM Program within their subordinate installations. Each installation-owning command shall designate in writing an EM
program coordinator. Each command’s EM program coordinator shall be responsible for all planning, programming,
budgeting, and resource allocation functions for subordinate Army Installations. Each command’s EM program
coordinator is responsible for the implementation and execution of the Army EM Program at subordinate organizations
and Army installations. To this extent, each command’s EM program coordinator is responsible for developing and
promulgating supplemental guidance required for execution of the Army EM Program, publishing annual execution
guidance (such as annual execute orders (EXORDs)), supporting annual training and exercise requirements, and serving
as the command’s representative to the Army EMSG required by this publication. Supplemental guidance will follow
the guidance and constraints detailed in paragraph 3–8b of this chapter.
e. Installation emergency manager. The installation emergency manager shall be designated in writing and will
either be a military officer or DA civilian identified by installation Type (typically O–4 and GS–12), who is trained and
experienced in EM as described in this publication. The installation emergency manager has primary responsibility to
the installation commander for development, execution, and sustainment of the EM program and supporting EM
capabilities. The installation emergency manager is the functional equivalent of the Office of Emergency Management
(OEM) in civil jurisdictions (function may also be known as the Emergency Management Agency (EMA) or by other
local terms). The installation emergency manager shall perform the functions identified in appendix E, table E–5a and
is responsible for managing the entire EM life cycle from preparedness through recovery. DAMO–ODP shall align
resources to support full-time employees at all Type I installations with additional manpower identified and resourced
based upon VIPP MDEP resource availability. This is an IOC requirement and completion shall be reported to the
appropriate installation-owning commands.
f. Medical emergency manager. Per DODI 6200.03, a medical emergency manager shall be designated in writing by
the MTF commander and will be either a military officer or DA civilian, who is trained and experienced in medical
EM as described in this publication and DODI 6200.03, MEDCOM Regulation 525–4, MEDCOM Pamphlet 525–1,
and MEDCOM OPLAN 01–10.
g. Tenant emergency management coordinator. Per 29 CFR 1910.38, each tenant organization shall designate in
writing a tenant EM coordinator. The tenant EM coordinator is—
(1) The designated representative of the tenant organization commander to the installation EM working group.
(2) The tenant organization lead for development of the tenant emergency action plan (EAP).
(3) The designated liaison to the incident command post (ICP) or the installation EOC should an incident occur in or
at the tenant organization’s facilities or building or impacts those facilities or buildings. Depending upon the size, scale,
and complexity of the command, the tenant EM coordinator may require assistance from tenant organization staff in
developing, executing, and maintaining the tenant EAP. This support is usually in the form of a tenant EM working
group and, for execution of the EAP, an emergency action team. DAMO–ODP will work with subordinate commands
to identify best practices for tenant EM programs, plans, and operations and standardize procedures through additional
policy, when required.
3–5. Standard installation organization
a. Overview. This publication uses the organizational model in appendix E for reference purposes in terms of titles,
responsibilities, and authorities. As this publication was developed during a significant realignment of the standard
installation organization, the organization described in this publication may be different than the organization currently
used at the installation level. Installation commanders are encouraged to align program responsibilities with local
conditions to ensure ease of execution and clear delineation of roles and responsibilities. Installations not managed by
IMCOM will need to review the baseline organization shown below and align responsibilities to the appropriate
