AFPAK Hand Guide
Navy Version
Author: YN2 Gretchen Moon
Version: April 2014

On behalf of the entire AFPAK Hands Tampa, FL staff, I extend you a warm and sincere
WELCOME ABOARD! You are embarking on one of the most challenging and rewarding
experiences of your career.
AFPAK Hands is a Chairman, Joint Services initiative supported by all four DOD services establishing
a cadre of professionals to create “greater continuity, focus and persistent engagement across the
battlefield...to develop a cohort of experts who speak the local language, are culturally attuned, and
focus on the problem for an extended time”. The Navy’s lead for AFPAK Hands is Mr. Lee Johnson,
OPNAV N13. Of the two HUBs for Navy Personnel— Tampa, and Naval District Washington (NDW)
—you’ll report and be attached to Tampa (USCENTCOM).
As a member of the AFPAK Cadre, you will be administratively attached to AFPAK Hands FL/50121
within MacDill Air Force Base, located in Tampa, FL. AFPAK tours traditionally consist of multiple
phases:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
Phase I: Training: NMPS; Ft Polk; INTAC, ECAC, COIN/Cultural/Language (8-10 months)
Phase II: Immersion, In-Theater Deployment (10-12 months)
Phase III: Out-of-theater assignment related to AFPAK mission (12 months)
Phase IV: 2nd round of training (6-10 months)
Phase V: 2nd In-Theater Deployment (10 months)
As you finalize your plans with your detailer, you will be issued two types of orders: PCS to assign you
to AFPAK Hands/FL, and TEMADD directing your training, deployment, and out of theater
progression.
I realize you are in the early stages of your planning for your PCS and TEMADD orders, but I want to
reach out to you right away to encourage you to complete the training and readiness requirements that
will prepare you for Phase I and II. These requirements must be completed prior to reporting to the
Navy Mobilization Processing Site (NMPS) in Norfolk which, generally, happens right after your report
to USCENTCOM.
Personnel normally report to AFPAK Hands FL before NMPS. Usually, there is not enough time to
complete the training and readiness requirements during the check-in period, so we strongly
recommended that these items be completed prior to reporting to USCENTCOM. Email your bio to
YN2 Gretchen Moon, Gretchen.Moon@centcom.mil prior to check-in. We want to know you before
your check-in, and we would also like to know your anticipated check-in date when that becomes
available.
TEMADD orders can vary due to specific members requirements, however, the general progression of
orders are as follows:
2

CDR Anthony Scarpino USN located at CCJ1, overseeing the AFPAK program, can be reached at:
(COMM) 813-529-1098, Anthony.Scarpino@centcom.mil or YN2 Gretchen Moon, the Navy AFPAK
Hands Manager to CENTCOM, located in the CCJ1 and can be reached at (COMM) 813-529-1056,
(Cell) 864-607-7987, or email her at: Gretchen.Moon@centcom.mil for more information regarding the
class schedule or operational details of the language program including your tentative In-country
assignment and sponsor/POC, or language assignments.
Another POC in the Afghanistan-Pakistan Management Element (AME), located at Joint Staff,
Pentagon is YN1 Harman, who can be reached at 571-256-1565 (COMM), or email:
justin.s.harman2.mil@mail.mil. Please contact YN2 Moon first regarding any questions you might
have regarding the AFPAK Hands program.
Be advised that any war effort requires changes in strategy and tactics to respond to the current status of
operations. This, combined with the changing dynamics of our presence in Afghanistan equates to a
high likelihood of modification to your in-country assignment at some point, as well as changes to the
training timeline or plan. Please be patient with this, and realize success and evolution of a program
requires modification to best fit current needs of the force.
For general information on USCENTCOM and the Tampa area, you can visit our web page at
www.centcom.mil. Additional relocation tools and information can be found at
www.militaryonesource.com and www.militaryhomefront.dod.mil. Once again, information regarding
the entire IA process is available at http://www.ia.navy.mil/.
Please note that military lodging and commercial quarters are limited and expensive in the Tampa
area. Additionally, please note that NDW’s Geographical Bachelor program is very limited,
enlisted-centric and requires a screening process to determine eligibility. Many of our “Hands”
have been successful finding furnished or unfurnished accommodations with the listings within
this document on pages 12 through13. This list is furnished at the front desk of the Air Force Inns
4
located at 8604 Hangar Loop Dr. MacDill AFB, or you may call 813-828-4259 to request
another copy. Be sure to visit housing locations before committing to a lease in order to
confirm environmental atmosphere and amenities are suitable to your personal needs and
preferences.
It is also essential to notify us as soon as possible if you will need to store a vehicle while
deployed. A Line of Accounting must be added to your TEMADD orders before you go to
NMPS. Once you begin the TEMADD process, regulations prevent you from receiving this
authorization and you will have to arrange and pay for storage yourself.
Please keep YN2 Moon and CDR Scarpino informed of your plans, including the time and place
of your arrival, so that we may assist you in a successful start to your tour in the AFPAK Hands
program. We are ready to assist you and your family throughout your assignment. Finally,
contact me ANYTIME at chan.shin@centcom.mil or (COMM) 813-529-1098.
WELCOME ABOARD! We are very pleased that you are joining our team and I look forward to
meeting you soon.

AL+TERRORISM+AWARENESS+CLASS&phase=
Course Scope:
The Individual Terrorism Awareness Class (INTAC) is designed for persons from all agencies traveling
overseas in moderate to high risk assignments in an official capacity. Students receive an introduction to
the terrorist threat, are taught how to reduce their levels of susceptibility, how to mitigate the impact of
terrorist and criminal activity, and how to react to and survive in a hostage situation.
INTAC is comprised of the following modules: an introduction to terrorism (Terrorist Organizations and
Operations); a review of case histories; individual protective measures; surviving a hostage situation, route
analysis and surveillance detection; firearms familiarization (9mm; M4 and AK-47); firearms qualification
(as applicable); the psychology of terrorism; the EUCOM threat; the history, culture, customs, religion,
economy and human terrain of Iraq, Afghanistan and the Greater Middle East; global insurgency; domestic
terrorism; Weapons of Mass Destruction; the Arab-Israeli Conflict; an introduction to Islam; inter-cultural
relations; vehicle bomb searches; emergency vehicle evacuations; anti-terrorism evasive driving.
Schedule:
Saturday through Friday – The Friday prior to and the Saturday after class should be scheduled travel dates.
Friday arrivals should be scheduled after 1500 although OCONUS travelers can arrive earlier to allow for
adjustment to time changes.
Travel:
It is recommended that travelers secure a rental car when arriving from Baltimore-Washington International
(BWI), Reagan National (DCA) or Dulles International Airport (IAD). Rental cars are more cost effective
then taxi use and will be utilized traveling to and from firearm ranges, for evasive driving, and for meals.
Members should ensure authorization of rental car is in orders (if not utilizing POV travel) due to the daily
travel requirements.
Lodging:
Members will be accommodated at the Comfort Inn, Winchester VA. Reservations should be made under
INTAC room block. It is recommended members call (540) 667-8894 for reservations to ensure inclusion
