                    19 September 1991, Memorandum 4-91

          information based on Committee/work Group information.. Al
          groups must have their Tank brief input to the Army, DAMO-S        7
          27 Sep.

             e.        MAJ Klenke, Army, updated vaccine production
          capabilities. Analysis indicates that under current produc
          vaccinating a one or two Corps force against anthrax cannot
          achieved until FY94. The total FY95 force will take until
          Under an accelerated anthrax production program, the FY95 f
          can be vaccinated in FY95. Analysis also shows that at no
          under current production capacity, will sufficient stocks e        .0
          allow a one Corps force to be vaccinated against botulinum
          Construction and operation of a new botulinum toxin product
          facility could result in a two Corps force vaccination capal
          by FY98 and vaccination of the FY95 force by FY02.

             f.        LTC Newing presented a methodology on how to df       ne
          vaccination requirements. It is based on the the 93-95 JSCI
          regional contingency planning options for CENTCOM, EUCOM, ai
          PACOM. Using Service force allocations for each region and
          contingency should provide a reasonable data base estimate
          which to develop the total vaccination requirement. Each Sf
          will provide DAMO-SWC, not later than 25 Sep, a worksheet 1:
          personnel requirements for each region and contingency. J-!
          coordinate Service personnel requirements for deliberate plz
          as quickly as possible for consistency with defense plannin(
          scenarios. J-5 will also define FY95 force requirements.

             g.        CWO3 Bryce, USMC, reviewed efforts of the
eed to review
          funding requirements. Strong justification is required to          t
          the need, or lack of a need, for additional funds. If prog3
          cannot be developed in time to support the Tank briefing, SE       s
          must provide the Work Group Chairman with a timeline for
          accomplishing their requirements review along with a game p]
          This timeline is due by 30 Sep and applies across the board
          regardless of the item of equipment or program.

             h. (U) The Decontamination Working Group raised the is
          joint doctrine. This will be worked by the Joint Staff, whi
          each Service will work Service peculiar doctrinal issues. Z
          will look at including joint biological defense doctrine and
          guidance in Draft Joint Pub 3-11 and the JSCP respectively.

             i.        MAJ Rober@uson, USAF, reviewed the recommendatio      )M
          the Physical Protection Working Group. After some discussic
          committee accepted the finding that there may not be any voi
          respiratory protection and that percutaneous protection is n
          required. However, all Services must identify to the Work G
