Introduction. The State of Utopia has determined to develop a Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) that incorporates all of the key state governmental functions. The National Guard (NG) being one of these key organizations has been tasked to develop and coordinate their own plan and ensure it nests correctly within the state plan. The Adjutant General of Utopia has ordered that the Joint Staff produce a COOP that relocates the affected units to an alternate site, accounts for and protects all personnel and equipment, and maintains mission command capabilities. We must maintain the ability to quickly generate ready forces to safeguard Utopia and protect the nation while adding value to our communities. The National Guard of Utopia is made up of approximately 2,000 Army NG (ARNG) members, 1,500 Air NG (ANG) members, and 150 state employees spread across 24 different campuses statewide. The National Guard also services approximately 4,500 veterans throughout the state.
The problem. The National Guard has a Pandemic Influenza (PI) Continuity of Operations Plan, but it does not have a COOP plan that covers an all-hazard approach. Even though there is a PI COOP, it was written in 2009 and at best has been minimally exercised which included one TTX and a drill on a small portion of the entire plan. Since then there has been little emphasis placed on developing an all-hazards COOP.
The objective. To have an effective all-hazards COOP for the Utopia NG that nests both the

Every National Guard unit should be adept in rapid deployments, not only to their own states but to others as well. There should be plans made that safeguards that out-of-state National Guard units are equipped to fill in for the units that are mobilized or deployed overseas. This type of agreement would increase the response time of units coming from other states. Another option would be for governors to design a plan where units with particular abilities, could be called on for their specific training either in-state or out-of-state in the event of an emergency (Tkacz, 2006). Having regional support forces that would be responsible for regional planning , preparation and exercises could have the ability to quickly deploy initial response forces to the scene of an event could also streamline the process of communication between the
Funding is allocated for training by congress through a centralized funding agreement which is distributed among the fifty states and territories based on their training needs. The National Guard Bureau in Washington, D.C. will provide the states United States Property and Fiscal Offices (USPF&O) funding based on its yearly requirements (Department of the Army, 2013). As a result, the funding for the leadership development plan and implementation will be budgeted and paid for through the Training and Operations department out of the State of Mississippi’s budget. Therefore, the earlier in the fiscal year the plan can be proposed, the earlier the funding will be allocated.

The efficient integration of Title 10 and National Guard forces during domestic operations increases the threshold of a state’s capacity to respond to disasters or security requirements. Pre-event preparation is required to achieve efficient integration. This preparation requires three critical elements, building relationships, integrated planning and exercises. To successfully incorporate federal forces during a response, states must develop positive relationships with key Title 10 partners during steady-state operations. Building upon these relationships, state and federal partners conduct deliberate planning for the integration of Title 10 forces in a state response. Finally, exercises validate plans and grow relationships. This paper describes
Along with deployments over seas the National Guard has state mission. These state missions comprise of multiple parts. Part one of the mission is to respond to the natural disasters of their state and country. Most everyone has heard of the National Guard going out and battling fires, helping general public deal with all aspects of the floods, tornadoes and civil unrest. In these situations the governor of the state, territories or district, places his province in a state of emergency. This allows him to control the National Guard until the crisis is exerted and in which case the National Guard is returned to its normal state as the protector of freedom and safety of their state and country. The second part of this mission is to

The Pennsylvania Army National Guard is a branch of the United States Army that is mostly used today for homeland security. Although the National Guard is not active like the Reserves or Active Duty Army, they still have the same requirements and same responsibility. More than 22,000 men and women make up the Pennsylvania National Guard and Air National Guard today. They reach from state quarters at Fort Indian Town Gap in Lebanon County to about 100 comunities in the commonwealth. Like all National Guard members they share the same responsibilities. For their federal mission, they are trained and equipped to join the active forces in the time of war or a national emergency. For their
Under the NRF, the National Guard would be called out in conjunction with other state and federal resources. The individuals who have the authorization to do so are the Governor and the President. An example of when the National Guard would be called is in the event of a natural disaster (i.e. a tornado). This is when the Governor or the President can send them into the area to: establish law / order, provide support and help with relief efforts. (Braulick, 2008, pp. 4 22) (Parsons, 2008)
Do we have a contingency plan in an Emergency? Have we tested it? Is the information current?
Communication: Leaders and executive must gain employee trust and confidence and communicate the execution strategy and share the expected results.
In other words, the Army’s mission is to deploy when needed and to win in combat in support of the interests of the United States. It conducts training and operations in every part of the world with 520,000 active duty Soldiers in 223 occupational specialties or jobs. The mission seems relatively simple but recruiting Soldiers to fulfill this mission and retaining them is much more difficult than one would realize. I will present a few of the benefits in the Army’s EVP that motivate Soldiers to “be the best they can be” to make America and the world a better place.
