File: 970207_aadcv_008.txtTOPIC AREA: LACK OF MANAGEMENT TEAM PRIOR TO CREW ARRIVAL SUBMITTED BY: HQ AFRES/SGXO ISSUE: Management personnel should be deployed to sites ahead of everyone else. OBSERVATION: It was not uncommon for medical crews to be deployed to a site in advance of management personnel. DISCUSSION: Medical crew personnel were deployed to sites in advance of AECC/AECE personnel. There was no opportunity to have a unit structure in place prior to arrival of the medical crews. This resulted in crews reporting to a base with no management personnel available to assist them in processing into an established organization. Also, there was confusion at inbriefing and processing. Upon arrival to the site, AECC/AECE management personnel had to search for the medical crew personnel that had already reported to the site. Medical crew personnel frequently encounter problems in billeting, pay, and other management areas which they do not know how to handle. IMPACT: Acted to degrade mission effectiveness during early stages of deployment. RECOMMENDATION: It is essential that management personnel be assigned to a site to receive all other personnel. 7
