House. But it was really the first opportunity for this administration to work with a very complex response, and then recognizing for us the supported commander was usaid that normally isnt in the Emergency Response business. So, it was an educational process of how to move forces and yet support usaid and the role of the country team and port au prince. So, it was very informative there. And to back up when we had the first no fooling hurricane that worked its way up the entire gulf coast, the Principal Committee calls that were generated during the haiti response were then turned around and then bringing all of the governors into a Conference Call with the president to make sure that all their needs were being met in the advance of a hurricane arrival. So, we really had all of government, from local all the way up to the white house, fully included in that response. But the haiti response was certainly informative in bringing all these disparate entities together to provide unity of
Response very well. That hasnt quite migrated itself into the institutional arena in terms of forces stationed here in the United States as it would relate to defense support to civil authorities. I think thats primarily this is not a primary mission for us. Its something that we do Pay Attention to, of course, as we deploy overseas. Not necessarily forces we have here in the states. We do understand Immediate Response, rolling out the gate to help our neighbors in an immediate nature, but i think not so much in terms of mobilization and deploying inside our country. So, this is an area where opportunities like San Francisco fleet week will allow us for, and i believe at some point really incorporate this in some internal doctrine that will benefit us in the event that this is a requirement inside the u. S. Thank you. This morning secretary schultz asked one of the panels that was involved in communications and command and control about in this age of information, realtime information,

I would offer a little bit from an institutional perspective at the tactical level in the marine corps. Thats an area where we could use some improvement. Our forces deployed to the western pacific certainly understand this, and they pass it on among themselves. The forces we deploy from Southern California and the east coast that float into theater understand Disaster Assistance and humantarian response very well. That hasnt quite migrated itself into the institution

This morning secretary schultz asked one of the panels that was involved in communications and command and control about in this age of information, realtime information, how youre hit with a sea of information and how do you deal with that. Something as Senior Leaders all of you have dealt with. And i believe admiral zukunft used the term dealing with reality tv. So, until you get that unity of effort and get into an up tempo, how do you as a Senior Leader deal with that sea of information coming at you thats all over cnn and the cable as you look at deploying your forces . Ill take that one again. And ill go back to my experience dur
Domestically can be exported internationally and what we learn internationally we hope would be imported to our domestic programs. This morning as we listened to the medical panel and to vice admiral nathans comments, we heard about some of the skills and expertise in the medical arena that have been learned internationally and are being brought to bear through the exchange both yesterday and today to the local scene. Wondering if the panel has other examples that they could cite on where the benefits have been learned that have been taken, specific skills that have been taken internationally as we look at humantarian assistance, or that you know that youd like to bring back and bring into the domestic arena. Just this last summer, we conducted the rim of the pacific exercise 2012. We did it in the state of hawaii and the surrounding operating area. It brought forth 22 nations, roughly 25,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines. But one of the things that we did embedded in this rim pac
