US plans quick-response team
during Philippine disasters
The United States Armed
Forces is looking to send
“within 24 hours” different
teams to help intervene when
a powerful typhoon similar to
Yolanda hits the Philippines.
In an interview during the
Balikatan 2017 Humanitarian
Assistance
and
Disaster
Relief/CounterTerrorism staff
exercise (HADR/CT Staffex)
held at the Armed Forces of
the Philippines Command
General and Staff College
(CGSC) in Camp Aguinaldo,
Quezon City on Wednesday,
Major Andrew Merz, US
Exercise Director, CPX Staffex
Combined Exercise Contol
Group BK 33-17, said: “We
will provide support that are
not available, things like lift
support also other forms of
logistics support needed for
the exercise.”
Merz told reporters that
in an actual disaster, the US
will send several different
types of teams down almost
immediately within
24
hours.”
The US military will also
fly in a joint humanitarian
assistance team that will
coordinate with the Philippine
armed forces, he said.
“Oftentimes there are
already US military forces in
the region like in Japan that can respond quickly within 24
to 72 hours,” Merz said.
He also made it clear
that the US does not perform
direct
counter
terrorism
operations in the Philippines.
“That is not the US
role but for this command
post exercise the US is
here to conduct support to
Humanitarian
Assistance
and Disaster Relief that are
being conducted by the AFP.
The counterterrorism aspect
is being played by the AFP
battle staff, discussions about
the tactics, techniques and
procedures regarding counter
terrorism,” he said.
Merz said the exercise
is focused on general tactics,
techniques and procedures to
develop skills and capabilities
that can be applied in every
situation.

company is
also one of
the leading
r a d i o
staff is the crisis action plan
on HADR operations.
Logico said the scenario
that has been created is a
category 5 typhoon that hits
Eastern Visayas in May 4.
“So we went through
the story line of the
Philippines conducting initial
response connecting it to
a multinational operation,”
Logico said.
“During the HADR
operation
we
included
counterterrorism scenarios
that will also be a test for the
AFP crisis action planning
team so the scenario that
we developed is hijacking
incident that will disrupt the
HADR operation and how the
planners can resolve quickly
the counter terrorist so that
we can move on with the
HADR operations,” he said.
Logico said the civilians
take a primary role in HADR
operations. (F. Wakefield, mb)
