CONUS Army Commanders with periodic listings of all its military forces and components located within each CONUS Army area through appropriate headquarters designated by the parent service. The appropriate Commander of the Unified Command will provide for a similar listing of forces for Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. This listing of forces will be in an order of priority of probable availability for support of civil defense operations as determined on the basis of the military missions of the forces reported, their location and their capabilities for performance of civil defense assistance tasks. Forces will be listed by priority as follows:

Priority I-Those forces that have a high probability of availability for civil defense support in the immediate emergency period.

Priority -Those forces that have a lower probability of availability to support civil defense in a postattack period.

Priority -Those forces least likely to be available for civil defense support operations because of the high priority of their combat and combat support missions.

(5) Priorities of availability of forces will be reflected in appropriate plans for military support of civil defense. All forces listed in area civil defense assistance plans will be prepared and ready to execute the tasks contemplated in such plans. The degree of readiness to be maintained among such forces will be commensurate with the priority of their probable availability. Those military forces temporarily furnished to assist civil authorities in a civil defense emergency will be withdrawn by the military commanders of the parent service, in coordination with the appropriate CONUS Army Commanders whenever practicable, or by the responsible Commander of the Unified Command in the event it is necessary to employ such forces in military operations, or when they are no longer required for civil defense missions.

(6) A military commander, in making his resources available to civil authorities, is subject to no authority other than that of his superior in the military chain of command.

(c) Military role—(1) Mission. In the event of a national emergency involving a nuclear attack on the United States, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Military Services, and Defense Agencies will be prepared to employ available resources

§ 185.7 Appendix A-Concept of military support.

(a) Modern warfare has created a condition wherein the entire resources of the Nation must be included in defense plans. Along with military defense and retaliatory forces, civil defense is a vital element of the Nation's total defense. Together, they not only stand as a strong deterrent to war, but constitute the greatest assurance of peace. A strong posture of civil defense is and will be a matter of increasing urgency.

(1) A civil defense effort, balanced between the necessities of a fallout shelter program and other corollary and supporting programs, is required to meet the following needs:

(i) Providing credibility to Department of Defense programs of graduated response and selective targeting.

(ii) Providing credibility for our deterrent posture. Without protection for the civil population, threats of retaliatory action may have less impact than if an effective civil defense program were in being.

(2) During a deteriorating military situation, a civil defense program is essential to:

(i) Provide the American public with the assurance required to meet the situation without panic, in an orderly fashion.

(ii) Demonstrate that the Nation's courses of action will not be in any way inhibited during a period of increasing tension.

(iii) Help illustrate the "national will" to the aggressor so that the military action may be limited both in geography and in magnitude.

(3) During and immediately following a nuclear attack, a balanced civil defense program will:

(i) Augment active defense in limiting loss of life and minimizing casualties resulting from the effects of the attack.

(ii) Help to insure a surviving population which will be available to support postattack national objectives, including continued military operations.

(b) Military assistance to civil authorities is a temporary measure. It will

This part provides objectives, policies and criteria for development, use, marking and stocking of fallout shelters at Department of Defense installations located in the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the territories and possessions of the United States under the provisions of 50 U.S.C., App. 2287; Executive Order 10952 dated July 20, 1961; and Executive Order 11490 dated October 28, 1969.

§ 188.2 Applicability.

The provisions of this part apply to the Military Departments (including Reserve Forces and National Guard organizations) and Defense Agencies (hereinafter referred to collectively as "DOD Components").

For the purposes of this part, the following definitions will apply:

(a) "Protection Factor (PF)." The relation between the amount of fallout radiation which would be received by a completely unprotected person compared to the amount which would be received by a person in a fallout shelter. Example: A shelter with a PF of 40 means that a person inside the shelter would be exposed to a radiation dose rate onefortieth of that to which he would be exposed in the same location if unprotected.

(b) "Fallout Shelter." A structure or contiguous group of structures or space therein, which can provide protection to the occupants from fallout gamma radiation with a PF of at least 40, and meet space, ventilation and other shelter standards as set forth in § 188.6.

(c) "DOD Personnel." Military and civilian personnel regularly assigned to DOD installations, as well as those whose duty or conduct of routine business or service operations would cause them to be present on a DOD installation during the greater part of the working day.

(d) "Adjacent Community." An inhabited area under the jurisdiction of civilian authority which is so located with respect to a DOD installation that the people living therein could feasibly use DOD shelter space on the installation or that DOD personnel could feastbly use shelter spaces located therein. § 188.4 Policy and objectives.

(a) The Department of Defense has a requirement to provide fallout shelters for (a) all DOD Personnel, and (b) citizens of adjacent communities where feasible and necessary pursuant to programs developed under 50 U.S.C., App. 2287, and Executive Orders 10952 and 11490. The Department of Defense, by its actions and example in providing fallout shelters, can further demonstrate to the public its preparedness for any eventuality, including nuclear attack.

(1) The objective is the provision of fallout shelters at all DOD installations, either under the provisions of this part or pursuant to DOD Manual 4270.1-M, "DOD Construction Criteria Manual.”1 Measures taken under DOD Manual 4270.1-M1 will be integrated with the overall measures taken by each DOD Component under this Part.

(2) To the extent determined by the commander concerned that installation operational considerations permit, fallout shelter spaces and the next best available fallout protection (less than PF 40) in excess of the requirements of a DOD installation, will be made available to citizens of adjacent communities with shelter deficits.

(i) If requested by the commander concerned, local Civil Defense officials
