Nov 2005
Nov 2005
ANNEX D TO JOINT PLAN FOR DOD NONCOMBATANT REPATRIATION
REPATRIATION CENTER OPERATIONS
1. PURPOSE. To provide guidance and establish responsibilities for military installations/bases tasked to provide support to DoD noncombatants evacuated from overseas.
2. SITUATION.
a. General. See Basic Plan.
b. Authority. HQDA G-1, in coordination with CDR FORSCOM and/or USUSPACOM and USTRANSCOM, determines the installation(s)/base(s) that will have primary and backup responsibilities for repatriation operations. See Annex O (Repatriation Centers).
c. Assumptions. See Basic Plan. DoD noncombatants may be evacuated under extremely stressful conditions and may require special support.
d. Support Agencies. See Basic Plan.
e. Coordinating Departments, Commands/Agencies. See Basic Plan.
3. MISSION. The designated Repatriation Site Commander(s) will develop plans for the reception, processing and onward movement of noncombatants who have been evacuated from an overseas area.
4. EXECUTION.
a. Concept of Operation. After coordination with appropriate headquarters and CDR FORSCOM and CDR USPACOM, HQDA G-1 will task the primary processing installation/base with repatriation operation responsibilities. The tasked installation/base commander will oversee and be responsible for all aspects of the repatriation operation. As determined by the tasked installation/base commander, the CDR FORSCOM and CDR USPACOM will ensure the supporting Services/DoD Agencies provide all necessary personnel to be members of Joint Service Processing Teams (JSPTs) for the Repatriation Site (see Appendix 1 of this Annex).
b. Responsibilities: The tasked installation/base commander will:
(1) Determine necessary staffing and space allocation for the port ofdebarkation(POD)/Repatriation Site. Planning should include other federal agencies, such as Department of Health and Human Services, State Department and private aid organizations if required. Close coordination should also be maintained with Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS) (Cmd Ctr: 202/616-5000) and Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) representatives to ensure adequate support for their functions at the POD.
(2) Solicit volunteers and interpreters to serve as sponsors to guide each evacuee/family (DoD and non-DoD) through the entire processing procedure. Processing commences once the family has cleared Immigration and Customs. Volunteers will assist the families in completing the DD Form 2585, Repatriation Processing Center Processing Form. (See samples at Appendix 8 of this Annex.)
(3) Information from the DD Form 2585 must be entered into the ARRS on site. The hardcopy DD Form 2585 will be forwarded to the military Services/DoD Agencies listed in Annex H for retention (addresses at Annex H, Appendix 1).
(4) Provide all facilities and services required for evacuee assistance. Support provided may include but is not limited to ID cards, financial entitlements/aid, billeting, emergency medical care, legal services, respite care, information and referral, family service assistance and onward transportation (See appendices to this Annex).
(5) Ensure interviews between consenting evacuees and the news media are coordinated through the Public Affairs Officer and conducted in a suitable atmosphere.
(6) Provide each DoD evacuee with a Family Information Packet. Dependent on the particular operation, this packet will provide general information concerning DoD Family Service programs, a listing of Family Service Centers, a listing of Service and DoD Agency follow-on support phone numbers, information sheets on entitlements, follow-on financial assistance, and civilian personnel guidance if applicable, and other information pertinent to the evacuees final destination.
(7) Collection of properly completed DD Form 2585 for each evacuee family is a CRITICAL task.
(8) Family support assistance is a critical asset to the installation. The employment of the Family Assistance Center (FAC)/Family Assistance Control Center (FACC) model provided at Appendix 9 of this Annex is recommended to assist commanders in establishing the Repatriation site. Family support personnel are encouraged to follow the guidance and procedures established in the checklist in this example.

PROPOSED REPATRIATION OPERATIONS COVER LETTER
1. The following is a suggested template for use in welcoming repatriating DoD evacuees back to CONUS:
DATE_______________
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE (DOD) EVACUEES
Welcome back to the United States. We realize that what you have experienced has been a little unsettling. Our goal is to make this part of your journey home a pleasurable one. Every attempt has been made to ensure the reception process here is as quick and as easy as possible.
The Processing Center that your assigned repatriation site processing volunteer will guide you through is a necessary part of your return to the States. The DD Form 2585, Repatriation Processing Form, will be used to ensure that immediate follow-on support is provided at your final destination and help us account for any support provided.
When you reach your final destination, contact the nearest military Family Support Center, regardless of your military Service branch, to receive further family assistance. Phone numbers for these Centers, as well as for follow-on financial support and Service/DoD Agency civilian personnel guidance, are listed in your “Family Information Packet.”
A list of central contact phone numbers for designated Service Support Centers is attached (SEE ANNEX H, APPENDIX 1). You will want to call them for any questions or problems that you might have or if you later move after you reach the final destination that you designated on the DD Form 2585. They can also provide you with updated information regarding the situation overseas.
Our warmest wishes are with all of you as your family begins this process of resettling.
Signed by the
Tasked Primary Installation/Base
Commander

APPENDIX 6 TO ANNEX D (REPATRIATION CENTER OPERATIONS)
PROPOSED (GENERIC) WELCOME BRIEFING (Template for Recommended Use)
1. Good ________. My name is _________. Can everyone hear me? On behalf of the Secretary of Defense and (the commander), I want to welcome you back to the United States. I know that you have just gone through a difficult time and we are here to do everything we can to help you to process as quickly as possible and be on your way to your final destination. With your cooperation, we can provide you with a great deal of assistance in a short period of time.
2. One of the first points of business is for you to ensure that the personnel Repatriation Processing Center Processing Sheet (DD Form 2585) is completely and properly filled out. You will have a volunteer assigned to help you with your form and with processing. This form tells us exactly what assistance you need and will expedite your processing.
3. Following your inspection and clearance by Public Health, Immigration, and Customs, and Agriculture, we will begin processing you onward to your final destination. The various stations you will find are:
a. Military and Civilian Personnel
b. Finance
c. Medical Aid
d. Commercial Travel Services
e. Red Cross
f. Salvation Army/Other Civilian Emergency Aid
g. Billeting
h. Family Services
i. Child Care
j. Meal Service
k. Ground Transportation
l. Telephone Service
m. Secure Baggage Hold Area
n. Traveler's Checks
o. Military Aide Agencies
p. Judge Advocate/Legal Services
q. Chaplain
r. Pets -- arrange for pick up, boarding, and/or visitation. Pets themselves are stationed in a secure area with Veterinary support.
4. You will find a processing flow control desk immediately after clearing customs. Volunteers will meet and direct you to the appropriate stations based
on the information you provided in your Repatriation Processing Center Processing Sheet (DD Form 2585). Each family will require different levels of support and information. For each category of support or information you require, ensure that you visit the appropriate station to ensure your needs will be satisfied. If you are escorting unaccompanied minor children please ensure the flow control desk is made aware of this fact.
5. I now would like to orient you to the physical layout of this processing center (point out medical facilities, rest rooms, child care center, etc.).
6. If you need help at any time during this process, please ask anyone wearing a special badge/hat/etc.
7. When your processing is completed, please drop off your Repatriation Processing Center Processing Sheet (DD Form 2585) at the final processing station. This is important to ensure accurate records are maintained for this evacuation; that you have indeed received all the help you need; to provide you with appropriate sponsorship at your final destination; and probably most important to you, that you are informed of any changes to entitlements.
8. As you exit the processing area, members of the news media may be present. Should you desire to speak with them, representatives from military public affairs will arrange an interview for you and assist you, if you wish. Otherwise, an exit route has been coordinated that will enable you to bypass them.
9. If there are no further questions, we would like to start the processing beginning first with any personnel who require special assistance.
10. Again, welcome back to the United States of America. We are very happy that you are here. With your cooperation, we will get you ready for onward movement as quickly as possible.
