CATEGORY: Planning

ISSUE ITEM #:

SUBJECT: CONUS Expansion

BACKGROUND: Additional trained staffing for HQ SAC is
needed early on in the contingency process. Twenty-four hour
coverage in the support battle staff plus triple the "normal"
workload in SGAX could not be absorbed by three personnel
even when augmented with part time help from other sections.

DISCUSSION: Operations and Plans personnel were quickly
"burned-out" and augmentation from other sections on a duty
roster basis did not provide the expertise or continuity
required.

ACTION RECOMMENDED: HQ SAC should have a cadre of reserve
forces ready to augment early in any scenerio. Ideally,
three 9016 IMAs (1 for SGA and 2 for SGAX), as well as a
senior guard and a senior reserve 90670/90 are needed to not
only pick up the added workload; but they would also be
familiar with guard and reserve procedures and points of
contact. This would greatly have improved our call-up and
our re-leveling of CONUS facilities.

SUGGESTED OPR: HQ SAC/SGAX
