OPERATIONAL GUIDANCE FOR EMERGENCY MOBILIZATION PREPAREDNESS
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the emergency mobilization preparedness
effort is an improved national. capability to respond to
major peacetime and wartime emergencies. Associated with
this objective are the following principal goals:
.To produce a Presidential statement of national
policy on emergency mobilization.
To develop a plan of action to improve emergency
mobilization preparedness consistent with this
policy.
POLICY
The proposed policy on national emergency mobilization
preparedness shall be.consistent with the Administration's
policies for the economy and national defense. it should
call for preparedness programs and activities that will
provide for the maximum civilian contribution to the
military operations which may be required to cope with the
emergencies for which the Department of Defense is now
preparing as well as for the continuation of essential
civilian services. It shall also provide for effective
utilization of military resources to assist civilian
authorities in responding to peacetime and wartime
emergencies.
The proposed-policy and plan for national emergency
mobilization preparedness should be formulated in light
of the fiscal constraints. operative through FY 83.
Improvements in our preparedness capabilities should be
accomplished through more effective use of-existing
resources and through their reallocation from less
important programs. Individual agencies will be
-responsible for implementing the plans and programs.
After consultation with the office of Management and
Budget, periodic assessments on strengths and limitations of
each agency's plans and programs will be prepared by the
EKPB. These assessments will be used for future planning
purposes.
