Scene. Like colonel ingels, i was impressed by the robust, defined chain of command and a large response capable of being produced. However, in an overwhelming disaster things dont always go as planned and certainly our experiences in combat has showed us there and Prior Experience with disasters have outlined that even though theres a welldefined system of response it doesnt always work out. What i defined yesterday was that logistics problems may get in the way and interfere with medical surge planning as is outlined. Putting resources where they are needed in a huge disaster may outstrip the ability of local authorities to do that because roads are out. The niche we have as the marine corps assets we have the ability to locate some of our resources like shock trauma platoons, thats what we do in combat and we have experience with that and that may be something that may be of benefit to this process. During the last panel, mr. Cahen mentioned its so important to understand the resour
About the second and third tier effects, so i want my relief to understand that and i want him to know where that plan is so he can pull it right off the shelf if this ever happens and be ready to respond quickly instead of trying to figure this all out when we need to be getting underway. Ill boil mine down into just one, and that is i will pass to my relief to continue to support events like this and look for opportunities to continue to learn how we best in the military can integrate with our civilian and federal contemporaries to be prepared for an eventuality that we hope will never come, but we certainly should be prepared for. So the one thing im passing on is keep the momentum. Thank you, all. One other benefit that was cited in the after action review and also was mentioned today is the chance it meet someone else from the other agency. We also heard a lot about training, understanding ics, understanding dsca and thats defense support of civil authorities. Its the Guiding Prin
Communication, security logistics capabilities that come to the table really augment the medical care thats being provided in the disaster scene.

We also heard a lot about training, understanding ics, understanding dsca and thats defense support of civil authorities. Its the Guiding Principles for how our Armed Services are going to support civilians when something happens. And i think those are common across a lot of the themes you are going to hear today and throughout the weekend. So id kind of like to take those two off the table because they are sort of gimmes and put it to you, what are the things you told your boss ab
