JOINT FORCE RESOURCE HANDBOOK
MINNESOTA NATIONAL GUARD
ACTIVATION PROCEDURES
The Governor may order the National Guard to State Active
Duty when an emergency is beyond the capabilities of civilian
authorities.
Minnesota State law authorizes the 87 county sheriffs and the
mayors of cities of the First Class (Minneapolis, Saint Paul,
and Duluth) to request National Guard assistance. All local
requests must go first to the MN Duty Officer who will then
contact the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency
Management (HSEM).
HSEM evaluates the request and validates that the National
Guard is the appropriate agency to respond. HSEM conducts
a joint mission assessment with the National Guard; the
Governor approves the request and issues an emergency
executive order. The Guard’s J-3 Operations Office
activates the appropriate units and contacts the incident
commander.

AND WATCH STATION
The Minnesota National Guard has enhanced its ability to maintain situational
awareness, provide continuous communications connectivity, support the
Minnesota Emergency Operations Center for homeland security, and provide
forward command and control facilities for U.S. Northern Command when
required for homeland defense.
•The Joint Force Headquarters-Minnesota (JFHQ-MN) Joint Operations Center
(JOC) achieved initial operational capability in the spring of 2004 and became fully
mission capable in February 2005.
•The Watch Station is a sub-component of the JOC and is staffed to operate
continuously 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The JOC and Watch Station staff
are NIMS compliant.
•The role of the Watch Station is to ensure continuous secure communication
connectivity between JFHQ-MN and the National Guard Bureau JOC in
Washington, DC, as well as the U.S. Northern Command’s Operations Center in
Colorado Springs, CO.
•The Watch Station also is required to maintain up-to-the-minute situational
awareness and provide indications and warning (I&W) to JFHQ-MN staff and MN
National Guard units in our area of operations, plus designated areas of interest.
•
•The Joint Continental United States Communications Support Environment
(JCCSE), a Department of Defense initiative, will utilize the JFHQ-MN JOC as the
primary conduit for military communications between DOD and Minnesota.
•The JOC is activated for specific contingencies that may require additional
planning, coordination and support. The JOC will focus on designated
contingencies, while the Watch Station always maintains its broader I&W lookout
function.
•When fully activated, the JOC has representatives from operations, intelligence,
weather, geographic information systems, logistics, personnel, public affairs,
communications, medical, aviation, and legal, as well as other specialties as
needed. A liaison will also be sent to the State EOC as required.

55th Civil Support Team (WMD)
CST MISSION
The mission of the 55th CST is to support civil authorities at a domestic chemical,
biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-explosive (CBRNE) incident site by identifying
CBRNE agents/substances, assessing current and projected consequences, advising on
response measures, and assisting with appropriate requests for state support. Mission
types include:
• Response: Deploy by request from IC for incident that has already occurred
• Standby: Deploy for pre-emptive screening and monitoring for high profile events
• Assist: Provide modeling or subject matter expert support without deployment
• Planning: Partners in local and state emergency response planning
• Training: Interagency individual and section skill training, full scale emergency response
exercises, and provide specialized training to others
CST Concept
The CST mission is unique to the National Guard and
teams are manned by 22 active duty Air and Army
National Guard personnel that are prepared to
respond 24/7/365. The CST is federally funded with
state level control through the National Guard chain of
command, which eliminates many restrictions against
working with domestic emergency services. CSTs
are prohibited from deployment overseas and are
employed as a single unit. Congress restricted their
employment for domestic missions only. Their
service is free to the communities they serve.
CST Training
Each team member undergoes extensive individual training tailored to his position, and
each CST conducts continuous unit training with local, state, and federal emergency
responders. All CST members are certified Hazmat technicians and the team
operates IAW 29 CFR 1910.120 and NFPA 471.472 standards. Each CST is certified
by the Secretary of Defense before assuming its role in National Guard Bureau’s
Response Management Plan. The CSTs also undergo external evaluation on an 18month cycle to ensure they maintain their proficiency.
CST Equipment
CSTs are equipped with cutting edge field technology including military and
commercial off-the-shelf equipment. The CST utilizes GSA vehicles for a low profile at
incident scenes. Key items of equipment include two advanced communications
platforms, a mobile chemical and biological analytical laboratory, and a cold weather
technical decontamination trailer.
Table of Contents
CST Support to Local Authorities
The 55th CST can provide a wide range of support to the local incident commander
to include:
• CBRNE reconnaissance, monitoring, and sampling
• Digital still and video photography, wireless live video feed to ICP
• Mobile laboratory for on-scene, presumptive chemical and biological analysis
• Plume modeling and hazard prediction
• Secure voice and data communication via satellite
• Multiple radio bands: HF/UHF/VHF/800/Military (secure capable)
• Radio cross-banding with ACU-1000 for radio interoperability
The CST has the following limitations:
•Not capable of conducting mass casualty decontamination by itself
•Not capable of conducting EOD operations alone
•Limited capability for extended operations requires the augmentation of additional personnel
and logistical support for extended operations. This can be requested through military
channels.

Minnesota National Guard’s Critical Infrastructure Assessment Program
The Minnesota National Guard’s Critical Infrastructure Program consists of two
separate organizations: a Federal Team called the Critical Infrastructure Assessment
Team and a State Team called the Full Spectrum Integrated Vulnerability Assessment
(FSIVA) Team.
The Federal Team is funded by the DHS to conduct site assistance visits (SAV) and to
assist law enforcement officials in developing a buffer zone protection plan (BZPP) of
critical infrastructure throughout the Nation. The SAV methodology is designed to
facilitate vulnerability identification and mitigation discussions between government and
industry in the field. The SAV is an information gathering visit which is non-regulatory.
The visit is not an inspection and there is no pass-fail grade. A report will not be sent to
other agencies detailing findings from the visit. No recommendations are provided
during an SAV, only options for consideration. Options for consideration are provided to
facilities to take the specific information and work it into their own risk management
framework to determine whether further action is merited. To begin the SAV process
within Minnesota, a request with justification for the SAV must be made via the DHS
Protective Security Advisor, Glenn Sanders at (612) 215-6501 or
glenn.sanders@dhs.gov. The BZPP Program is a Federal Grant program that provides
funding for local jurisdictions in which critical infrastructure and key resources are
located. This program is administered within Minnesota by HSEM.
The FSIVA Team conducts vulnerability assessments of both private and public
organizations for the state of Minnesota, with an emphasis on critical infrastructure.
These assessments consist of an in-brief, a walk-through with interviews of specified
organizational members, a threat analysis, the preparation of a written document with a
final presentation, and then an out-brief. The out-brief, an interactive session that
utilizes graphic aids, is presented to organizational leadership. It outlines observations
made of the organization’s physical security, disaster preparedness and emergency
response plans and provides courses of action to strengthen and enhance these areas.
Using the vulnerability assessment, an operations plan (OPLAN) is created specifically
for that organization to be used in the event that the Minnesota National Guard is
activated to assist in securing it.
All proprietary information collected through the course of the assessment, to include
facts and findings discovered as a result of the assessment, are kept confidential and
secure and are exempt from mandatory release through the Freedom of Information
Act. These assessments are conducted free of charge and are arranged only with the
permission of the organization.
Training
The FSIVA Team also offers free training to organizations on Terrorism Awareness,
Vehicle Inspection, and Surveillance Detection

Counterdrug Program
The Minnesota National Guard is a partner with law enforcement agencies
(LEAs), schools, and community based organizations (CBOs) in a two-pronged
attack on illicit drug/ narco-terrorism threats. The Drug Interdiction program
works with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to interdict the flow
of illegal drugs and combat narco-terrorism in Minnesota along with transnational
threats along the international border. The Drug Demand Reduction (DDR)
program focuses on educating Minnesota youth to reduce the demand for drugs.
We accomplish this by providing anti-drug programs at the grade school, middle
school, and high school levels. These programs work with Minnesota youth to
reduce the demand for illegal drugs through education, teaching resiliency skills,
by providing positive role models, teamwork, and alternatives to drug use.
We currently offer the following free support under the Drug Interdiction Program:
Criminal Analysts. Military personnel assigned to civilian law enforcement
agencies work as Intelligence Analysts, assisting with illegal drug/narco-terrorism
case investigations. We have people assigned at federal, state, and local levels.
Tactical Law Enforcement Support. This includes
the use of military aviation assets, limited ground
surveillance assets, and other support as requested,
as personnel, funding, and regulations allow.
Drug Detection Support. Counterdrug has Ion Scanners set to detect drugs.
They utilize the science of Ion Mobility Spectrometry
to quickly detect drugs and are extremely accurate.
One scanner is vehicle mounted to support mobile
Interdiction efforts and all Ion Scan support comes
with a trained operator.

Counterdrug Training. The Minnesota National Guard Counterdrug Program cosponsors, at free or reduced cost, P.O.S.T. approved, drug/narco-terrorism related
training with the BCA, the Midwest Counterdrug Training Center (MCTC), and other
sources for law enforcement, emergency responders,
community based organization and
educational personnel. Courses are
taught at BCA buildings in St. Paul,
Camp Ripley, or other military facilities in the state.
Equipment. The Counterdrug program coordinates with state and local law
enforcement agencies to obtain free surplus military weapons, vehicles, and
equipment through the 1033 Surplus Equipment Program and reduced cost new
equipment through the 1122 Federal Procurement Program, which allows law
enforcement agencies to purchase items at the federal government contract price.
1033 Program
1122 Program
We currently offer the following free support under the Demand Reduction Program:
Fly-In Program. At the request of MN law enforcement officers, schools, or
community based organizations, a National Guard helicopter
flies to a school or similar area and gives a presentation
incorporating aviation with a drug-free life style.
This program is geared toward the elementary level.
Adventure Program. The Adventure Program provides a leadership and team
building focus through a Low Ropes Challenge Course. This is a leadership and lifeskills development program for youth that features problem-solving activities
designed to challenge the minds of the participants. This program is geared toward
the junior high level.
Drug Abuse Education Program. This program increases youth’s ability to
recognize and avoid the dangers of drugs and drug-related crimes. It focuses on the
physical and psychological effects of drugs on the body, along with the effects of drug
abuse on the family, school, community and reaching life goals. This program is
geared towards the senior high level.

The Lightweight Water Purifier System (LWPS)
The Lightweight Water Purifier (LWP) System is intended to improve the
responsiveness of water support to early response entry and is highly mobile . It
provides quality water to small units and detachments where distribution of bulk
water is not feasible. The LWP provides water support without committing larger
water production assets from the logistics support structure. The system tailors water
production flow rates to the demands of independent remote responders.
Notable features of the unit include:
Designed to be man-portable and modular
Can be set up and operated by a single soldier in 45 min or less
Transportable in HMMWV and med tactical helicopter. Can be air-dropped
Treats any water source incl. seawater, brackish, turbid, NBC-contaminated
Uses Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Ultrafiltration (UF) technology
5 modules: UF, high-pressure pump, control module, RO element, chemical
injection/cleaning
Lightweight Water Purifier Field Setup
Automated, backwash cycles every 15 min, 30 seconds each UF cartridge
Treats raw water to 60,000 milligrams per Liter (mg/L)
Produces 125 gph from freshwater and 75 GPH from saltwater 45,000 mg/L
Uses titanium pressure vessels for RO membranes
Uses chem. injection pumps for coagulant or sodium bisulfite/antiscalant/
hypochlorite
Overall power requirements are 240 volts/60 Hz and 120 volts/60 Hz
