<div dir="ltr"><div>That makes me even more convinced that CAP should not be separating PAO and PIO responsibilities as is now. We are one organization and can't compartmentalize it so much. SAR, HLS, and DR missions are part of the whole mission. Without them, would CAP be here? At times its like being in two different organizations depending on what the activity is.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:windowtext">Every PAO needs to write a PA Plan and a Crisis Communications Plan, which used to be posted on the NHQ website; the CCP is no longer there, because it was
considered sensitive. So I don’t see how the PAOs could be writing articles about this, since this information is not to be published for the general public.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:windowtext">The answer is quite simple. When tasked by the AFRCC, CAP assists the requesting agency, and we do so following NIMS operational guidelines. That is both the
long and the short of it. Writing anything more about it would probably ring OPSEC bells somewhere.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
