Operation Plan Sovereign Iraq addresses the simultaneous dissolution of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) in Iraq and the concurrent establishment of a US Mission Iraq that will. work in the closest coordination with the Multinational Force, international organization missions, the embassies of coalition countries, and the Iraqi people. (1) Current Situation. The Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) has been the government oflraq since the overthrow ofSaddam Hussein and his Ba'ath Regime in April of2003. The CPA is responsible for the temporary governance of Iraq, consistent with international law and UN Security Council Resolutions 1483 and 1511, with coalition personnel provided immunity from Iraqi law. On Nov 15, 2003, the United States announced that the Iraqi Interim Government (IIG) would assume governance responsibility by 30 June 2004. The USG has initiated a detailed planning effort to timely ensure successful assumption of authority by the Iraqi Interim Government (II G). (2) In addition to the assumption of authority by the JIG, two significant transfers of authority will occur during May and June 2004: (a) The Coalition Joint Task Force-7 (CJTF-7) transferred authority to a new multinational headquarters, the Multinational Force-Iraq (MNF-J), effective on 15 May 2004. While the transfer of authority has been formalized, this new headquarters and its subordinate organizations, will continue to undergo adjustments before achieving its final organizational structure. (b) Once the Iraqi Interim Government assumes authority, the CPA will no longer have a legal basis for its existence as an occupying authority. At the same time, I OR 61 I IE BtL CJSE OICL I EJtEFUB I "PitOhl JISCLOSJit£ Ji46Eit I Obt 3 6.3.€~ §552(8)(3) DeiW I IULLRSE II iiiWb I llMTIIORITi Of Hd EittSEI4l!l Iftlti49ITWI4 I Llll4IIIFIS TtaP:I Version 3.0 ISCLOSURE UN EASE WIUIOUT AUTHORITY OF INTERAGENCY TRANSITION P the US Government desires to establish fonnal diplomatic relations with the new Iraqi Interim Government. Accordingly, OPLAN Sovereign Iraq addresses this transition period. As appropriate, some personnel and organizations from the CPA will transition to the new US Mission. (3) In perfonning its mission, the CPA operated according to a strategic plan that established priorities for the US Government, coalition partners and efforts for relief and reconstruction. The Plan outlined five core foundational relief and reconstruction sectors and their end-states and provided a critical starting point for the long term objectives reflected in the Department of State's Mission Performance Plan (MPP) FY 2006 U.S. Embassy Iraq. (a) 'Security End State Objective. A secure environment for the people and property oflraq that enables citizens to participate fully in political and economic life. The Iraqi government has the means to assume responsibility for external and internal security, including defense and police forces. Good relationships with regional states and with the international community have been established. The roles and accountabilities of organizations providing security are clearly defined within a legal framework. The legal framework also regulates the private possession and use of weapons. (b) Essential Services End State Objective. Essential services and infrastructure, particularly electricity, water, and health care, are provided to acceptable standards. Plans are in place, and where feasible, being implemented to improve the quality and accessibility by all citizens of all public services. (c) Economy End State Objective. Financial market structures and fiscal and regulatory conditions have been established that enable sustainable economic growth, the development of a dynamic private sector, and rising living standards for the Iraqi people. Measures have been taken to develop human resources and to eliminate corruption. Policies have been developed to use Iraq's oil wealth for the benefit of all the Iraqi people. (d) Governance End State Objective. Iraq has a representative fonn of government that promotes the rule of law, protects individual rights of all, including freedom of expression and religion, and is supported by a vibrant civil society. It is underpinned by a democratically-based constitution and transparent electoral processes agreed to and accepted by the Iraqi people. There is an accountable and responsive system of local governments. The effectiveness of elected local officials has been increased through training. (e) Strategic Communications End State Objective. Unity of effort is achieved among the Iraqi Government, Coalition nations and the international community. Negative Iraqi perceptions of Coalition activities have been mitigated into constructive support. Messaging efforts have created an environment where an aura of legitimacy takes hold among the Iraqi people leading to a sustained, engaged, and active participation in the democratization ofthe country. 2 FFICIAL USE ONLY EXEMPT FROM DISCLOS 5 U.S.C. §552(B)(5) DO NOT RELEASE WI OF INTERAGENC ANNING TEAM Version 3.0 URE UNDERFO ASE WI1HOUT AUTHORITY OF INTERAGENCY TRANSITION PLA (4) The US Mission Iraq Mission Performance Plan will succeed the CPA Strategic Plan and guide the activities ofthe US Mission Iraq. It identifies three mutually reinforcing strategic objectives in Iraq: eliminating terrorism, promoting economic development and supporting democratization and the rule of law. To accomplish these objectives, the US Government must rapidly build a well-resourced interagency U.S. Mission in Baghdad, working in the closest coordination with the Iraqi people, the Multinational Force, international organizations, and the embassies of coalition and other nations. (5) The CPA established the basis of an Iraqi administration that has taken the first steps to implement the three objectives: Iraq's security forces are beginning to develop their capabilities to protect the Iraqi people against terrorists and other criminals. Plans and some key staffing are in place for a proposal for a roadmap toward elections and the organizational infrastructure of central and local governments dedicated to serving the Iraqi people. Iraq's economy and infrastructure are rapidly improving after decades of neglect, corruption, and international sanctions. Much remains to be done, however. (6) The US Mission Iraq will have an exceptional scope and magnitude of responsibilities and resources. In the short term, it will function in one of the world's most unstable and violent environments. These circumstances pose unique management challenges and high human and financial costs, as we build a US Mission and country team with the resources and institutional capacity necessary to accomplish the extraordinary US national objectives in Iraq. While some personnel and structures will carry over from CPA, the Mission necessarily will be a very different organization, reflecting both a different political context and a different mission. (7) The assumption of authority will be formalized in a ceremony on 30 June 2004 when the transfer will be consummated. Following the ceremony, the US Mission Iraq will be established. The Coalition Provisional Authority will cease to function as the governing authority in Iraq, and the Department of State (DOS) Bureau of Near East Affairs, Iraq (NEAll) and the US Mission to Iraq will be established as the successor organizations to CPA, responsible for representing the interests of the US Government, less the military function which will be discharged by the Commander, Multinational Forces Iraq (MNF-1). b. Enemy Forces. See Annex B Intelligence. c. Friendly Forces. See Annex A- Command and Control. (1) The Transition Team. The Secretaries of State and Defense established an Interagency Transition Planning Team (TTPT) to develop a joint transition plan to dissolve the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) and establish a US Mission within a sovereign Iraq, ensuring a close and mutual partnership between the Chief of Mission (COM) and the Commander, Multinational Force - Iraq (MNF-1). The ITPT, which includes representatives of DOS, DOD, and the CPA (forward and rear), has developed and will continue to develop comprehensive and detailed plans concurrently. Furthermore, the team will continue the spirit of "jointness" as it supports implementation of the plan within the DOS and DOD. 3 DONOTREL LOSURE UNDER F ASE WITHOUT AUTHORITY OF INTERAGENCY TRANSITION PLA (2) The US Mission and the Near East Asia-Iraq element (NEA-D will constitute the successor entity to the CPA under the provisions of Section 2208 of the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act and National Security Presidential Directive 36, dated 11 May 2004. DOS maintains the funds available for establishing the US Embassy in Baghdad, including the balance of uncommitted FY 2004 appropriations for CPA operating expenses and the 1% Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund (IRRF) transfer. (3) Coalition Nations. Iraq relief and reconstruction has been the effort of a multination coalition. Future references to "coalition" are in this context. Coalition contributions have included military forces, donations, civilian reconstruction teams, and planning officers. The US Government provides the most significant leadership and a majority of the coalition forces, but successful prosecution of the war and reconstruction could not have been and will not be achieved without extensive coalition participation. While the US Mission to Iraq will be bilateral, the US Government will continue to encourage coalition participation and will develop appropriate channels for coordination with coalition nations. (4) Government of Iraq. As defined in the Transitional Administrative Law (TAL), the Government of Iraq will transition to a permanent, constitutional government in three phases. TAL Phase I will begin with the formation of the fully sovereign Iraqi Interim Government that takes power on 30 June 2004. TAL Phase II begins with the formation of the Iraqi Transitional Government after elections for the National Assembly occur not later than 31 January 2005. TAL Phase III begins with the formation of a permanent Iraqi government, pursuant to a permanent constitution. Elections for the permanent government will occur no later than 15 December 2005 and the new government shall assume office no later than 31 December 2005.

The 1 00-member Interim National Council will be chosen by a National Conference, to be held in July, involving at least a thousand Iraqis from across Iraq. The Interim National Council will reflect Iraq's diversity. ( 4) The Transitional Administrative Law. The JIG will operate under the legal framework established by the Transitional Administrative Law (TAL), including the TAL Annex. The TAL will remain the supreme law of Iraq until a new constitution has been ratified, a newly elected government is in place and new laws are enacted to replace provisions of the TAL. Under the provisions of the TAL, the IIG will have the power to conclude international agreements in the areas of diplomatic relations and economic reconstruction, including Iraq's sovereign debt. The JIG will not have the authority to amend the TAL or to form agreements which permanently alter the destiny of Iraq. (b) TAL Phase II- lrag Transitional Government. ( 1) Governance. The Iraq Transitional Government (lTG) will govern according to the laws in force in Iraq on 30 June 2004 unless and until rescinded in accordance with the Transitional Administrative Law. The ITO will have exclusive competence in the areas specified in Article 25 of the TAL. (2) Composition. The lTG will consist of the National Assembly, the Presidency Council, the Council of Ministers, including the Prime Minister, and the Judicial authority. (3) The National Assembly. The National Assembly will be the legislative authority for the State of Iraq. Its mission shall be to legislate and exercise oversight over the work of the executive authority. The National Assembly will consist of 275 members who will be elected through elections to occur by 31 December 2004, if possible, and in any case no later than 31 January 2005. The principal 5 DO NOT RELEASE WITIIO NNINGTEAM objective of the Transitional National Assembly will be to prepare a draft permanent national constitution for Iraq and prepare for and conduct a national election under this constitution to elect a permanent Iraqi Government. The new constitution will be presented to the Iraqi people in a national referendum scheduled for the fall of 2005. Under this new constitution, Iraq will elect a permanent government by the end of2005. ( 4) The Transitional Executive Authority. The executive authority during TAL Phase II will consist of the Presidency Council, the Council of Ministers and its presiding Prime Minister. (a) The Presidency Council is formed by the President of the State and two Deputies elected by the National Assembly. The Council will oversee the higher affairs of the country. (b) The members ofthe Council of Ministers are named by the Presidency Council upon the recommendation ofthe Prime Minister. (c) The Presidency Council will name the Prime Minister by unanimous vote. The Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers will commence their work as a government only after receiving a vote of confidence by simple majority from the National Assembly. The Prime Minister will have day-to-day responsibility for the management of the government. (5) The Federal Judicial Authority. A Higher Juridical Council will replace the Council of Judges and will supervise the federal judiciary and administer its budget. The federal judiciary will include a Federal Supreme Court, the Central Criminal Court of Iraq, Courts of Appeal, the Court of Cassation and other courts established by law. (6) The Transitional Administrative Law. The laws in force in Iraq on 30 June 2004 will remain in effect unless and until rescinded or amended by the ITG. The Jaws, regulations, orders, and directives issued by the Coalition Provisional Authority pursuant to its authority under international law shall remain in force until rescinded or amended by legislation duly enacted and having the force of law. (c) TAL Phase III. - Permanent Iraqi Government: The permanent Iraqi Government and National Assembly seated at the end of 2005 will establish laws governing Iraq. Provisions of the TAL, with its Annex, will be rescinded as provisions in the Constitution and/or Iraqi Law direct. (5) United Nations. (a) On 24 March 2004, the U.N. Security Council adopted a statement supporting the new U.N. mission to help Iraq form an interim government and prepare for elections. This U.N. Mission, as well as an electoral assistance team, was dispatched to Iraq to lend assistance and advice to the Iraqi people in the formation Version 3.0 of the IIG, as well as in the preparations for the directelections to be held before the end of January 2005. (b) On 8 June 2004, the U.N. Security Council endorsed the formation of a sovereign Iraqi Government effective 30 June 2004, and the eventual dissolution of the CPA, through UNSCR 1546. It also endorsed the proposed timetable to eventual democratic government including: (1) Holding of direct democratic elections by no later than 31 January 2005 for a Transitional National Assembly to form a Transitional Government responsible for drafting a permanent constitution; (2) Holding of democratic elections by 31 December 2005 for a constitutionally elected Government oflraq. (c) The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) wiil play a leading role in convening a national conference in July 2004, to select a Consultative Council; supporting the electoral process and conducting a census; and developing/delivering social services, humanitarian and reconstruction assistance. (d) The U.N. mission consists oftwo separate teams: a political team and an electoral team. The U.N. team is now in Iraq helping to form an Independent Election Commission that will oversee an orderly and accurate national election. The US has assured the United Nations that every possible step will be taken to facilitate the protection of its teams. (e) UNSCR 1546 reaffirmed UNSCR 1511 and the continued authority of MNF-J forces to operate under a unified command in accordance with letters of understanding annexed to the resolution by SECST ATE and Prime Minister Allawi, IIG. The letters provided a framework for a future security partnership and included the following: (I) The IIG will form a Ministerial Committee for National Security responsible for establishing Iraqi security policy. The Committee will invite MNF-1 to participate and will stand ready to discuss methods of coordination, cooperation, and consultation on fundamental security and policy issues (including those on sensitive military operations). (2) MNF-I and IIG will form national, regional, and local coordinating bodies comprised of Iraqi security force and civilian leaders responsible for ensuring that Iraqi security forces coordinate with MNF-1 on all security policy and operations issues. This will facilitate unity of command in military operations in which Iraqi forces are engaged with MNF-1. It will also help foster effective allocation of resources and use of personnel; regular consultation between MNF- I and JIG leaders; and the sharing of intelligence. (3) MNF-I will establish a separate brigade size force under its command dedicated to providing security for UN personnel and facilities in Iraq. Its missions will include static and perimeter security at UN facilities, and convoy escort duties. 7 ( 4) Though the MNF-1 is in Iraq at the request of the IIG, its mandate could be reviewed or terminated should the Iraqis ask, but will nonetheless expire once a pennanent Government of Iraq is constitutionally elected by the end of2005. (5) MNF-I will continue to train and equip Iraqi security forces. (6) Military Forces. (a) CJTF-7. CJTF-7 was responsible for military operations throughout Iraq, operating in support of the CPA, in order to establish and maintain a secure environment. CJTF-7 transferred authority to the Multinational Force-Iraq (MNF- 1) on 15 May 2004. (b) MNF-I. The MNF-I was established with interim operational capability (IOC) on 15 May 2004 and assumed responsibility for military operations throughout Iraq. Upon transition to a sovereign interim government of Iraq, the MNF-I will continue its mission to establish and maintain a secure environment, allow the continuance of relief and reconstruction efforts, and improve the training and capabilities of Iraqi security forces, including the Iraqi Armed Forces, Border Patrol, Iraqi Police Services, the Facility Protective Service, and the Iraqi Civil Defense Corps. As these Iraqi forces develop appropriate capabilities and the security situation improves, the MNF-I will hand off security responsibilities to them and assume a reduced presence in Iraqi cities and provinces. d. Assumptions. (1) The governing structures in Iraq will be established according to the time lines defined in the Transitional Administrative Law (TAL). (2) The concurrent dissolution of the CPA and establishment of the US Mission Iraq will allow for continuity of current relief and reconstruction operations. (3) Multinational coalition principles will be preserved in the post-transition environment. ( 4) The US government transition will be managed with currently available funds; there will not be an additional FY 2004 supplemental appropriation beyond the $258 reserve recently enacted. ( 5) The UN Security Council Resolutions 1511, 1546 and the TAL provide the COM and the MNF-I Commander with necessary legal authorities to carry out their missions. (6) Many functions now performed within the CPA will continue until 30 June 2004 and will be assigned on that date to the Chief of Mission (COM). 2.Mi ssion On 30 June 2004, the Iraqi Interim Government assumes authority and the CPA is dissolved; the US Government establishes a US Mission Iraq to ensure that the responsibilities and interests of AL USE ONLY the US Government are preserved and discharged effectively; and in concert with the Multinational Force-Iraq, the Iraqi Government and our Coalition partners and international organizations, continue uninterrupted relief, reconstruction and stabilization efforts. 3.Exec ution a. Intent. The Chief of Mission to the new US Mission Iraq will represent the interests of the US Government and will assist the people and government of Iraq as they take full ownership of Iraq during the transition period. Underpinning this goal are three priorities- sovereignty, security, and reconstruction and economic development. In terms of sovereignty, the COM will focus on supporting the Iraqi Interim Government and assisting the IIG in organizing national elections. With respect to security, the principal priority is training Iraqi security forces. The COM will work closely with the Commander, MNF-1 to ensure that security forces are trained to take over security responsibilities of their country. Finally, reconstruction and economic development assistance provided or coordinated by the COM will be directed toward giving the Iraqi people a stake in their own future. (1) Concept of Operations. OPLAN Sovereign Iraq will be executed in five phases (See Figure 1): Phase I (Establishing US Mission Advance Team), Phase II (Transition to US Mission), Phase III (Post-Transition Execution/Fiscal Year Close-out), Phase IV (Constitution /Election Support), Phase V (Post Election Normalization). Through these five phases, the US Government will effectively transition governance responsibilities to the Iraqi Interim Government (IIG) while maintaining ongoing relief, reconstruction, and stabilization efforts throughout Iraq. These actions will occur simultaneously with a shift in primary authority for prioritization of non-security related efforts from DOD to DOS.

Transition Phasing 9 DO NOT RELEASE WITIIO J10R OFFICIAL USE EXEMP (2) Phase I (Establishing US Mission Advance Team). Phase I began 19 March 2004 when the forward planning cell of the Interagency Transition Planning Team (ITPT) arrived in Baghdad and ends when the US Mission Advance Team is fully established by I June 2004. (a) Purpose. The purpose of this phase was for the ITPT-Baghdad and CPA, with support from the ITPT-Washington and CENTCOM/CJTF-7, to plan and coordinate activities necessary to ensure that the US Mission Advance Team was prepared to function effectively and take over management oversight of select CPA functions. The US Mission Advance Team is a precursor organization to the US Mission, and began the process of standing up the full embassy. (b) Interagency Transition Planning Team. The DOD and DOS ITPT teams planned for the more complex handoff of missions, functions, personnel, logistics, communications, facilities and real property from CPA to the US Mission and finalize plans for other phases. (c) Coalition Provisional Authority. CPA worked to complete all necessary transition tasks to prepare for the US Mission Advance Team no later than (NLT) I June 2004. During this period, the US Anny assumed responsibility for the Project and Contracting Office (PCO). (d) Department of State. DOS conducted detailed planning and preparations for establishing and staffing the US Mission. During this time, DOS determined those additional capabilities, functions, and personnel currently resident in CPA that would transition to the US Mission Iraq and remain after the 30 June 2004 transition to sovereignty. (e) Department of Defense. Department of Defense (DOD) planned for providing security and other support to US Mission Iraq activities, direct administrative and logistical support to the US Embassy in the Green Zone, and general support to non-DOD US government agencies operating in the Green Zone and at other sites in Iraq. (f) Department of Justice. Department of Justice (DOJ) and DOD provided support to the Iraqi Special Tribunal, and the Commission on Public Integrity. Liaison teams to the Ministries of Justice and the Interior, the Council of Judges and the courts continued their missions. (g) Coalition Joint Task Force-7. CJTF-7 continued to establish and maintain a secure environment, continued to support the training of Iraqi security forces, and prepared for the transfer of authority to Multinational Force-Iraq (MNF-1). MNF- I achieved Initial Operational Capability (IOC) on 15 May and Full Operational Capability (FOC) on 15 July. (h) Phase I ends when the US Mission Advance Team commences operations by June 2004. 10 Version 3.0 EXE UNDER ITHOUT AUTHORITY OF INTERAGENCY TRANSITION PLA (3) Phase II (Transition to US Mission). Phase II began when the US Mission Advance Team arrived in Iraq and began to gradually assume certain CPA functions by 1 June 2004. Phase II will ends with the dissolution of CPA and the opening of the US Mission Iraq on 30 June 2004. (a) Pm;pose. The purpose of this phase is to establish the US Mission Iraq upon assumption of authority by the JIG. During Phase II, the US Mission Advance Team wiJI assume management oversight of functions from the CPA which are appropriate embassy functions as identified during Phase I. (b) US Mission Advance Team. The US Mission Advance Team will focus on the efficient and supportive transition of appropriate activities, responsibilities, and resources from CPA to the US Mission Iraq and will be in direct support of the CPA until 30 June 2004 for those functions that are transferred. (c) Interagency Transition Planning Team. The ITPT and CPA continue planning for transition of selected functions to the US Mission. (d) Department of State (DOS). DOS and the CPA establish the Iraq Reconstruction Management Office (TRMO) as a "virtual" organization to provide management oversight of those CPA functions and personnel under the authority of the Chief of Mission (COM) deemed mission essential after 30 June 2004, at which time IRMO will be established as a temporary organization under the provisions of Section 3161. IRMO will be comprised primarily of senior and technical liaison personnel and supporting staff, providing expertise and operational assistance to Iraqi ministries. (e) Project and Contracting Office. In preparation for its post-transition organizational structure, the Project and Contracting Office (PCO) will be established within the Army to provide acquisition and program management support to the US Mission for execution of contracts funded under the Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund (IRRF). It will be a temporary organization funded, staffed, and operated by the US Army, with the forward elements under the management oversight of the Chief (DCM designee) of the US Mission Advance Team until 30 June 2004 so that the transition will be seamless. (f) Regional Teams. DOS will establish four interagency Regional Teams at Mosul, Kirkuk, AI Hillah, and Basrah (Annex 0) and embedded teams with headquarters of five MNF-1 major subordinate commands, and CPA will begin to close sites not selected for an enduring presence. These teams represent one the most critical elements of our continued presence in Iraq as they will have direct contact with the Iraqi people. (g) Coalition Provisional Authority. CPA continues to conduct all activities not transferred to US Mission Advance Team and will continue to be responsible for those activities that transfer to the US Mission Advance Team for management oversight during Phase II. CPA restructures elements of the CPA that will transfer to the US Mission. 11 FOR OFFICIAL USE 0 EXE OIA 5 U.S.C. §552(8)(5) DO NOT RELEASE ITION PLANNING TEAM Version 3.0 (h) Department of Defense.

Version 3.0 E URE UND 5 E WITHOUT AUTHORITY OF INTERAGENCY TRANSITION CHANGE 1 TO ANNEX ITO OPLAN SOVEREIGN IRAQ 2 JULY 2004 References: ANNEX I -LOGISTICS A. Task Order 44 B. Army Regulation 710-2 1. Situation. a. Current Situation. The Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) Headquarters provides logistical support to the CPA personnel and governance representatives. Primary life support is provided under Task Order 44 of the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) contract. The Defense Contract Management Agency assists the Contracting Officer's Representative to ensure the LOGCAP contractor meets the expected performance under the contract. Contracts with local firms provide supplemental support in addition to that provided by CJTF -7. The CPA C-4 is the office of primary responsibility to coordinate logistics requirements and support. After transition on 30 June 2004, the US Mission Iraq will receive support from the same sources; contracts and MNF -I as established in this plan, particularly in its annexes where the details of functional execution are outlined. b. Enemy Forces. The current security situation in Iraq is problematic for logistics support. It increases costs and time for security, movement and supplies, and this condition will likely exist throughout the early phases of the transition period and beyond. (Annex B- Intelligence) c. Friendly Forces: The CPA is supported by a number of contractors with the majority of the support coming from LOGCAP Task Order 44. DOD now manages the contract which provides logistical manpower, material, transportation, and other support functions. The US Mission will become a customer of LOGCAP and be entitled to use all T.O. 44 property formerly used by CPA. d. Assumptions. LOGCAP will be the primary means of life support for the US Mission Iraq until a permissive security environment enables the US Mission to utilize more economic sources. 2. Mission. Version 3.0 Not later than 30 June 2004, Department of Defense will transition specified logistics and administrative functions now supporting the CPA to the US Mission Iraq. This transfer of responsibility will be completed without disrupting ongoing operations, ensuring full accountability and protection of US Government property. 3. Execution. a. Concept of Operations. The Chief of Mission will assume primary responsibility for its logistics support, supported by DOD, no later than 30 June 2004. During this transition by DOD from its supporting the CPA to supporting the US Mission Iraq, it will ensure continuity of operations in its support. DOS will become a customer of the Army LOGCAP Contract and assume use of property formerly utilized by CPA. DOD will establish an Area Support Group (ASG Central) under MNF-1 that will provide direct support to the US Mission and MNF-I personnel in the Green Zone, and general support to other US Government agencies.operating in the Green Zone and at other sites in Iraq. (Annex A, Appendix 1 -Base Support Operations in Support of US Mission). It will provide specified support as established in an MOA between the COM and Commander, rviNF-I, and will do so until a permissive security environment allows normal embassy operations. The Project and Contracting Office (PCO), with its forward element under the authority of the Chief of Mission (COM), will coordinate the external logistical requirements in support of Iraq's reconstruction contracts. The end-state objective of this transition mission will be a functioning US Mission with the logistical and administrative support necessary to advance US government objectives in Iraq. Throughout, strict accountability of USG property will be an imperative during this transition period. (1) Conduct of Operations. The transition of logistics support from the CPA to the US Mission Iraq will occur during Phases I and II of the OPLAN phasing. Phase I from March through the 31 May 2004 culminated in establishment of the US Embassy Advance Team on 1 June 2004. Phase II culminates with establishment of the US Mission Iraq on 30 June 2004 and disestablishment of the CPA. Phase Ill terminates on 30 September as all financial and contract transactions I modifications are completed. Phase IV terminates with the elections of a Iraqi Transitional Government NL T 31 Jan 2005, and Phase V terminates when stability and normal operations of the US Mission are restored. (2) Mortuarv Services. DOD will provide Mortuary Services support to US Mission Iraq until adequate host nation mortuary resources are available and safe for the US Mission to use. In the event of a fatality of a US Government employee (who is a US national) under Chief of Mission authority, all efforts should be exercised to return remains in an expedient manner. The US Mission and MNF-I will coordinate in such cases. United States Central Version 3.0 Command (US CENTCOM) is the military's lead agent having the responsibility of evacuating remains. Mortuary services for other eligible US citizens are covered in Annex J Consular Affairs. b. Tasks. (1) Phases I and II. (a) Department of State. (1) Establish commercial air and surface lines of transportation to support US Mission Iraq's internal operations. (Appendix 1 -Military Air- to this Annex) In the absence of adequate DOS capabilities, identify requirements for US military assets. (2) Establish support relationships between US Mission and new and I or existing DOS support offices outside of Iraq. (3) Request US Army Head of Contracting Authority (HCA) to add US Mission Iraq as a customer of the current LOG CAP contract. (4) Identify capabilities ofthe current CPA Headquarters Support Group that will be required by the US Mission Iraq for specified logistics and administrative support. (b) Department of Defense. Ensure that all property used in CPA activities to be carried on by the US Mission Iraq will be available to the US Mission no later than 30 June 2004. To that end: (1) Upon receipt of request from DOS, US Army adds US Mission Iraq as a customer of the current LOGCAP contract. (2) Upon receipt of request from CPA property accountability officials (KBR), DCMA grants waiver of physical inventory since KBR will remain accountable for property after customer changes to US Mission Iraq. (3) CPA property accountability officials (KBR) modify property accountability records reflecting US Mission use of property formerly used by CPA. (4) Establish an Area Support Group (ASG Central) concept under MNF- 1, for support in Baghdad I Green Zone and other areas of Iraq (Appendix 1 -Base Support Operations in Support of the US Mission l-3 (Change 1) EXE UNDE . 5 , ITHOUT AUTHORITY OF INTERAGENCY TRANSITION P Version 3.0 to Annex A - Command and Control) with specified support requirements and commitments contained in the Support MOA (Annex T - Support MOA). Required logistics and administrative support to the US Mission Iraq will be supported through the ASG Central which has been designated within the ASG concept to support the US Mission in the Green Zone until a permissive security environment allows normal US Mission operations. (5) CENTCOM coordinate with DOS, CPA, the Joint Staff and DOD to define the roles and missions, size and organization of the Area Support Group Mission providing direct admin/log support to COM and general support to other tenants in the Green Zone. (6) After Army adds US Mission Iraq as a LOGCAP customer, DOD will audit Kellogg, Brown, and Root (KBR) property accountability records on an ongoing basis. (c) Department of State and Department ofDefense. (1) Establish a joint in-country synchronization cell to track all issues relating to the logistics transition. A smooth transition requires the accomplishment of some key tasks immediately. (2) Establish a joint DOD I DOS key events timeline which is critical to the logistics transition. Identify responsible parties to ensure that all USG entities as well as key contractors participate in transition planning and execution. Turnover will require careful consideration to ensure qualified individuals are available to perform necessary transition tasks. (3) Ensure that the CPA C-4 and the DOS Representative (US Mission Management Counselor) coordinate all logistics support during the transition to the US Mission. All ongoing support will continue during transition. Additional support required by the overlap of DOD and DOS personnel and functions must be identified immediately for resolution. (4) Establish within the Support MOA (Annex T- Support MOA) requirements for the ASG Mission to be direct support of the US Mission Iraq and general support to other tenants in the Green Zone until a permissive security environment allows normal US Mission operations. (2) Phases III through V. Continue Logistics support operations. Version 3.0 c. Coordinating Instructions. (1) Cost of LOGCAP services will not be reimbursed until such time as Congress appropriates funds to DOS or other USG agencies for such purposes. (a) At the appropriate time and as the situation permits, reliance on LOGCAP support will be terminated or reduced and replaced by other more cost effective means of support. (b) The Federal Deployment Centers in Virginia and Kuwait will be used by DOS through at least 30 Sep 2004. (c) All USG entities in the US Mission will be responsible for funding their own life support costs. (d) Any property refused by DOS transition team will be the responsibility of the LOGCAP Contractor and DCMA for disposition. These items should have been identified by 1 June 2004 to ensure proper disposition. (2) Autopsy Responsibilities. The Armed Forces Medical Examiner (AFME) is the lead agent for conducting death investigations of US personnel. The AFME or his designated representative, in coordination with the Regional Medical Officer of the US Mission, will determine the cause and manner of death for any US Mission death investigation. The AFME also makes the determination whether or not an autopsy will be performed or forensic pathology investigation will be conducted. The AFME is also the lead agent for working in cooperation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other investigative agencies in determining the cause of death. (3) The Commander, ASG Central, will develop procedures for reimbursement of costs, such as LOGCAP, for personnel who use services in the Green Zone but who do not fall under the authority of the COM nor command of the NINF-1. A similar procedure will be established by the Regional Coordinator, Regional Teams. 4. Administration and Logistics As stated in this plan and Annex A, Command and Control 5. Command and Control a. The Administrator, CPA, will remain the final decision authority on all relevant issues until transfer of sovereignty on 30 June 2004. Effective with transfer of sovereignty on 30 June 2004, decision authority as appropriate will shift to the Chief of Mission Iraq and to the Commander, MNF-I, as appropriate. b. Command of the ASG Mission will be assigned to the MNF-1 and responsive to the COM for direct support identified in the Support MOA (Annex T-Support MOA) and in Appendix 2 -Base Support Operations in Support of US Mission to Annex A Command and Control.

DOD currently provides scheduled and special mission Military Airlift (MILAIR) support to CPA. Requirements are coordinated by the Headquarters Support Group within the Annex Compound. b. Enemy Forces. See Annex B- Intelligence c. Friendly Forces. See Base Plan OPLAN Sovereign Iraq d. Assumptions. ( 1) The security environment will not change in the near future. (2) The US Mission Iraq will require similar support in the near term. (3) The US Mission Iraq will use commercial air assets as the security situation permits. 2.Mi ssion. Not later than 15 June 2004, DOD makes available Military Air assets to support US Mission Advance Team operations in Iraq and, subsequently, the US Mission Iraq after of 30 June 2004. 3.Exec ution. a. Concept of the Operation. DOD through the MNF-1 will provide military air support for the COM on an as required basis for fixed wing aircraft and on an allocated basis for rotary wing support. The US Mission Iraq will seek to minimize utilization of aircraft for administrative purposes unless all other means of transportation have been analyzed and rejected. US Mission intends to use commercial surface and air carriers to move freight and diplomatic pouches into Iraq in support of Mission requirements provided it is safe and available. However, if commercial service is unavailable, DOD will provide Military Air support to move needed materiel. Until such time as commercial air transportation has been deemed safe, and remains so for a reasonable period of time, DOD will support DOS air transportation needs according to the following: {1) Fixed Wing. MILAIR Travel is provided by USCENTCOM Air Mobility Division (AMD) through Joint Movement Center (JMC) requests according to schedules and routes as requested. The initial Embassy request will be for a daily shuttle: Kuwait/Baghdad/ Amman/Baghdad/Kuwait. CENTCOM will coordinate with AMD to ensure that COM has appropriate air routes, at appropriate periodicities, to support COM business in-country and out-of-country. (2) Rotary Wing. Each day, USCENTCOM will allocate two UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters to be available on a priority basis, at the same level of priority assigned to Commander MNF-I. Daily (by 0900 if possible), COM will release these aircraft, if not needed for COM use. Even if the dedicated craft have been released back into the pool for the day, aircraft from the pool will be available for COM use upon request, at the same priority level as Commander MNF-I. (3) If additional helicopters are needed to meet mission requirements, requests will be submitted per the normal SOP, with as much advance notice as possible, in accordance with priorities based on principal passengers. b. Tasks. Department of Defense: (1) DOD provides Military Air support for official transportation of US Mission Personnel, including all official USG travellers in support of the Mission, between locations within Iraq until alternative transportation is determined to be safe and available. (2) DOD will provide Military Air support for official transportation of US Mission Personnel, including all official USG travellers in support of the Mission, into and out of Iraq until alternative transportation is determined to be safe and available. (3) DOD will coordinate Military airlift support requirements for personnel, goods and programs under COM. 4.Adm inistration and Logistics See Annex I- Logistics 5.Co mmand and Control See Annex I - Logistics Version 3.0 ANNEXJTO OPLAN SOVEREIGN IRAQ 11 JUNE 2004 References: ANNEX J -CONSULAR A. 7 Foreign Affairs Manual, Section 240- Disposition of Remains B. 7 Foreign Affairs Manual, Section 300 - Emergency Financial and Medical Assistance for US Citizens Abroad C. 22 C.F.R., Section 72.12- Proper Preparation of Remains l.S ituation a. Current Situation. Iraq is a war zone where some regions are permissive and others are not. American citizens, including people such as reporters and missionaries, who are not affiliated with the Coalition I international partners or with the US Government (USG), have been killed or injured. The medical system in Iraq is not currently capable of providing an adequate level of care for American citizens who become injured or ill. There is no commercial transportation system or company, other than the US military, capable of providing emergency medical evacuation for American citizens in Iraq. There are no mortuary service providers capable of meeting US standards for certifying deaths or preparing and shipping remains back to the US. The US consular officer's ability to perform his/her duties and assist private American citizens with emergencies outside of the "Green Zone" is very limited. These limits are a function of the security environment in Iraq and the absence or inadequacy of Iraq's local police, rescue teams, trauma facilities, disaster assistance agencies, transportation providers, and its mortuary/funeral industry. In the absence of local abilities to provide these services, the US military has been providing them. These arrangements have been informal to date. DOS receives no specific funding to provide for private citizens' medical care, medical evacuation, mortuary services, or transport of remains if the citizen is injured or killed in Iraq, and DOS receives very limited funding to grant loans in such cases. Moreover, those funds are available to support private U.S. citizens worldwide and are wholly inadequate to the ongoing situation in Iraq. b. Enemy Forces. See Annex B ~Intelligence c. Friendly Forces. See Base Plan- OPLAN Sovereign Iraq d. Assumptions. None provided. 2.Mi ssion The United States Government (USG) continues current consular capability and establishes a Consular Section in the US Mission Iraq on 30 June 2004, upon establishment of diplomatic relations with Iraq, to perform routine consular services relying upon resources available within Iraq. Version 3.0 EUND E WITIIOUT AUTHORITY 01< INTERAGENCY TRANSITION PL 3.Exec ution a. Concept of Operations. (1) The Consular Section within US Mission Iraq will consist initially ofthree consular officers and six locally employed staff members who will all be posted in Baghdad. Once fully operational in Phase V noted below, the section will perform the following functions, as appropriate: assist American citizens who are injured, hospitalized, become destitute, are arrested or go missing in the host country; assist with the repatriation of remains of deceased US citizens not under the authority of MNF-T; adjudicate citizenship claims; provide judicial assistance and notarial services; handle or facilitate extradition and prisoner transfer cases where applicable in the consular district; provide routine immigrant and non-immigrant visa services; assist American citizens with any property claims; and assist American citizens with any custody or child abduction cases. (2) In addition, the Consular Section will perform the following functions as appropriate in Phase V without any direct host country support: provide voting services; issue fee and no-fee passports; register American citizens residing in the consular district; issue Consular Reports of Birth (comparable to US birth certificates); process passport waiver requests; process loss-of-nationality cases; establish a panel of physicians to conduct medical examinations of visa applicants as necessary; process immigrant visa applications, including adoption cases and diversity visa lottery cases; and process non-immigrant visa applications including diplomatic, official and US sponsored cases. (3) Continued support for Consular operations will be required from DOD with regard to medical care, emergency medical evacuations, mortuary services, certification of death and the transportation of remains. This support will be required until such time as Iraqi companies or agencies are able to perform those services in line with normal host- country practices elsewhere around the world. DOS will not incur any obligation for reimbursement for the provision of these services by DOD, including that DOS will not provide DOS funds or fund cites to DOD in connection with the provision of these services. Rather, the private US citizen will be obligated to reimburse DOD for any reasonable expenses incurred by DOD in the provision of these services. It is the intent of the Consular Section to establish a flexible organization that can expand with the mission. Iraq is sufficiently unique that casualty evacuation, for example, may require expanded capabilities in that area. Flexibility and capability will be an inherent part of the capabilities designed into the Consular Section. ( 4) Conduct of Operations. Transition from US I Coalition management to a sovereign Iraq will take place in the following potentially overlapping strategic phases supported by Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) and USG agencies as follows: (a) Phase I. Phase I began when the Interagency Transition Planning Team arrives in Baghdad on 19 March 2004 and ends on 31 May 04 when the US Mission Advance Team is in place. The Consular Section will have established two consular officers in Baghdad by 31 May 2004. Annex Q, Health Service Support, and Annex T, Support MOA, outlines the provision of the medical, mortuary, and transportation services by the US military as described in the paragraph above. Version 3.0 (b) Phase II. Phase II begins when the US Mission Advance Team is established and ends with the dissolution of the CPA and establishment of the US Mission Iraq. DOS will have identified three American Consular Officers and hired six Iraqi Locally Employed Staff (LES) in time to complete all necessary background checks and stand-up the Consular Section no later than the establishment of the US Mission on 30 June 2004. (c) Phase III. Phase III Begins with the opening of US Mission Iraq. During this phase, US Mission Iraq assumes responsibility for relations with the Government of Iraq under the authority of Department of State. The Consular Section will provide full services to the extent practicable and adjust to missions as demand dictates. (d) Phase IV and V. Phase IV begins on 1 October 2004 and ends with the elections in January 2005. During Phase IV, four additional consular officers, including the Consul General, will be assigned to US Mission Iraq. Eight additional LES will also be hired to complete consular staffing. The Consular Section will continue to perform its duties as discussed above and will adjust its operations as circumstances within Iraq change. During Phase V, the Consular Section will become fully operational, including immigrant and nonimmigrant visa services as well as the other duties discussed above. b. Tasks. (1 ) Phases I and II. (a) Department of State. (1) Establish, equip and staff a Consular Section to be operational by 30 June 2004. (2) Ship Consular systems equipment to Iraq no later than 15 June 2004. (3) Sustain operations in Phases Ill - V. (2) Phases I V. (a) Department of Defense. Coordinate and support Chief of Mission (COM) requirements as defined c. Coordinating Instructions. Coordinating Instructions are defined in Annex Q - Health Service Support and Annex T - Support MOA, in OPLAN Sovereign Iraq .. 4.Adm inistration and Logistics Version 3.0 The Consular Section will receive administrative and logistics support from US Mission resources except for those identified in OPLAN Annex Q -Health Service Support and Annex T • Support MOA. S.Co mmand and Control Effective upon the establishment of diplomatic and consular relations with Iraq on 30 June 2004, the Chief of the Consular Section reports to the Deputy Chief of Mission.

(4) US end-state objectives will continue to be supported by: (a) Iraqi Security Forces (ISF). (b) Iraqi Interim, Transitional and Permanent Governments. 2.Mi ssion The United States will provide capability to secure US Mission Iraq at a level commensurate with the threat environment. Establish a secure and stable environment in Iraq with integrated security forces of multinational and Iraqi security forces operating within a security plan encompassing protection of Iraqi sovereignty, internal civil affairs, a US Mission Iraq, and outlying US interests country-wide. 3.Exec ution. a. Concept of Operations: The security posture maintained by Multinational and Iraqi Security Forces (ISF), in conjunction with incoming DOS Diplomatic Security Services, will combine resources to ensure a secure and stable transition to Iraqi sovereignty and provide a safe and secure environment for the US Mission Iraq. Some USG elements may contract for security services. MNF-1 and ISF may coordinate with such contractor personnel, but contractor personnel will not participate in any military or other government security operations, nor protect military convoys, supply routes, facilities or personnel. (1) Conduct of Operations: (a) Provide continued security operations and expanded capabilities that facilitate transition from CPA to Iraqi sovereignty and establishment of the US Mission Iraq. (b) Transition security responsibilities to Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) as capabilities allow (coordinating with DOS DSS for those assets in direct support of DOS). (c) Provide an adequate level of security for Green Zone, US Mission Iraq, and COM activities. (Annex S- Security MOA). b. Tasks: (1) Phases I and II. (a) Department of State.

Public Law 108-106, Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense and for the Reconstruction of Iraq and Afghanistan, 2004 B. United Nations Security Council Resolution 1483, 2003 C. National Security Presidential Directive D. Financial Management Assessment Team Findings, dated March 5, 2004 E. CPA Operating Budget, Monthly Financial Report l.S ituation a. Current Situation. (1) Coalition Provision Authority (CPA) is funded from a separate appropriation approved by Congress in Public Law 1 08-l 06, Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense and for the Reconstruction of Iraq and Afghanistan, 2004. The FY04 CPA Operating Funds consists of $858 million for personnel costs, transportation, supply, equipment, facilities, communications, logistics requirements, studies, physical security, media support, promulgation and enforcement of regulations, and other activities needed to oversee and manage the relief and reconstruction of Iraq and the transition to democracy. There is also $50 million appropriated to fulfill reporting and monitoring requirements. CPA manages these funds and will do so through 30 June 2004. (2) CPA also manages those funds appropriated in the supplemental appropriation until 30 June 2004 at which time the Chief of Mission (COM) assumes this responsibility. The Department of the Army's Project and Contracting Office will continue to manage and integrate execution for all agencies apportioned Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Funds. (3) In executing the transition from the CPA to a sovereign Iraq with a US presence comprised of a US Mission Iraq and a Multinational Force-Iraq, the CPA operating budget must be transitioned to appropriate successor organizations. The US Mission Iraq and the Near East Affairs Iraq (NEA-l) in the Department of State in Washington, DC, will be the successor organization and assume responsibility for the CPA operating budget and program executive responsibilities for the Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Funds. ( 4) In execution of the transition, CPA will transfer account balances of the Development Fund for Iraq (DFI) in accordance with procedures provided by the Iraqi Ministry of Finance and terms of the International Audit Management Board (IAMB) as set forth in United Nations Security Council Resolution 1483 (2003). Legal review of existing authorities must be completed prior to use of available balances. (5) Vested and Seized Assets, generally cash assets, must be expended prior to 30 June 2004. In the event vested assets are recovered or found to be unexpended, the monies Version 3.0 will be deposited in the appropriate Treasury account (2131 096) for disposition by the US Treasury. Recovered or unexpended seized assets will be provided to US Mission Disbursing Officer (DO) for disposition. (6) This plan covers the transition period only. USG agencies must realize that there is no guidance indicating a long term presence, not an established basing plan, or a status of forces agreement. Accordingly, agencies must fund requirements within available resources and seek reimbursement through a supplemental if the administration approves a supplemental financing strategy. Defense activities will include appropriate requirements .in their Program Objective Memorandum (POM) in accordance with the Defense Planning Guidance. b. Enemy Forces. See Annex B- Intelligence, page B2 c. Friendly Forces. See Base Plan- OPLAN Sovereign Iraq d. Assumptions. (1) DOD and DOS Chief Financial Officers will approve all support agreements. (2) Transition will be managed within funds that are currently available. There will not be an additional FY 04 supplemental. Agencies will have adequate resources to fund Iraqi operations within Iraq until receiving an FY 05 supplemental in spring 2005. (3) DOS will have resources to establish an embassy in the amount of about $97 million and will have access to the 1% Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund (IRRF) transfer authority ($184 million). The military mission must be funded from within available DOD mission funding in FY04 and in FY05 before supplemental funding is appropriated. (4) DOD and DOS will split the 4th quarter apportionment ($195 million) based on the mission assignment and services pre·funded in advance of July 1st. Generally, the funding will follow the mission assignment. For example, salary and life support funding for personnel reassigned to the. US Mission (IRMO) will be transferred to DOS. (5) Funds, resulting from the decision to partially 'chargeback' life·support costs from 1 May 2004 through end of year FY 04, will be used to balance the CPA budget and transfer the maximum amount to DOS. Policy review is required before enacting such procedures for FY 2005. 2.Mi ssion Department of Defense transfers financial management functions from the CPA to the US Mission Iraq, Department of State, and the Multinational Forces-Iraq on or before 30 June 2004, except for those which, by agreement of both the DOS and DOD, will be completed by DOD, transferred to the Iraq Reconstruction Management Office (IRMO), or transferred to the Project and Contracting Office (PCO). 3.Exec ution L·2 E RE UNDERFO WITIIOUT AUTHORITY OF INTERAGENCY TRANSITION PL Version 3.0 EX a. Concept of Operations. The financial functions of the CPA will transition over the period from 1 March to 30 September 2004. The functional transitions occurring after 30 June will be completed under the auspices of the US Mission Iraq and I or the Commander, MNF-I. The financial managers within the DOS, DOD and CPA will work closely together to analyze and establish transitions on a function-by-function, line-by-line basis for all business activities that involve the stewardship and accountability of US appropriated funds. b. Conduct of Operations. (I) During this transition period, all management actions will require and include close coordination among Office of Management and Budget (OMB), DOS Resource Management (including NEA-l), DOD, CPA CFO, CPA Comptroller, CPA OMB, CPA- West Deputy CFO, and the Anny CPA Support Team. The tactical approach is to review each functional element of the CPA Operating Budget, with both functional and resource management personnel from both DOD and DOS working together, to review detailed elements of each functional area, including contracts, service agreements, funding strategies, and future requirements. The goal of these frequent meetings is to share information, discuss challenges, and develop the way ahead. A product of these meetings is information that can be shared among other sector leads in the Iraq Transition Planning Team (ITPT) or requests for decisions that can be elevated within the ITPT process. (2) The DFI transitions to Iraqi control and is executed and monitored through execution of the approved Iraq budget. Liaisons to the Ministry of Finance will encourage the Iraqi government to continue the practice of prioritizing and vetting requirements through a Program Review Board akin to that established by the CPA. (3) The Project and Contracting Office (PCO) will be established as a temporary organization under Anny executive agent authority. This move will enable the PCO to access up to 10% of IRRF for overhead expenses. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will approve the PCO budget, and that of other agencies, to ensure that only proper administrative expenses are chargeable to IRRF. (4) The Iraq Reconstruction Management Organization (IRMO) will be established under DOS control. Funds to support personnel and operations of the IRMO are in the CPA Operating Funds that will be transferred to DOS on 30 June 2004. (5) An Area Support Group (ASG Central) will be established under DOD responsibility and control. DOD funds will support this mission. c. Tasks.

FRAG0_129 Establishment Of New Provincial Civil/Military Coordination Structure to MNC-I OPORD 04-01 l.S ituation a. Current Situation. (1) The CPA and Multinational Force-Iraq (MNF-I) currently have Governorate Teams (GT) in all 18 governorates, varying in size from 10 to 120 personnel. GTs are multi- disciplinary interagency groups deployed at the Provincial level. GTs include US government officials from DOS and UK foreign service officers (FSOs), Department of Justice (DOJ) and other federal agencies, US military civil affairs teams and other military support personnel, and Iraqi Reconstruction and Development Council (IRDC) staff. GTs were created to bridge the gap between the national level governing authority and the multitude of local governments within Iraq. Functions of the current GTs include: (a) Establishing and overseeing local government (Governors, Councils, Senior Ministry Positions). (b) Overseeing and directing local government. (c) Implementing (and explaining) national political processes and policies. (d) Building civil society centers for human rights, women's rights, democracy. (e) Political and economic reporting. (f) Developing and supporting local media. (g) Supporting MNF-I and local government, including the Governor and Chief of Police, in efforts to keep the peace. (h) Initiating and overseeing Development Fund for Iraq (DFI) project implementation. (i) Initiating and overseeing coalition I international partner-funded projects, as required. (2) Locations are secured currently by military forces of the Multinational Force-Iraq (MNF-1) and supported through contracts, including Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP). (3) Local military commanders from the Multinational Force-Iraq (MNF-I) established Governorate Support Teams (GST), using Civil Affairs and other functional specialties, to bridge the gap between government at the national level and the multitude of local governments within Iraq. b. Enemy Forces. See Annex B- Intelligence c. Friendly Forces. See Base Plan- OPLAN Sovereign Iraq d. Assumptions. (1) US Mission Regional Teams will have operational responsibility for every governorate after 30 June 2004. However, it is not the intent of the COM to establish a physical presence in each region. (2) Other multinational or US Government agencies may wish to collocate staff with US Regional Teams. (3) Collocation with military forces of MJW-I would enhance security of the RTs, help coordination, and enable efficiencies. ( 4) Support staff, including security, will comprise a large portion of the total numbers of personnel at each site. Current numbers will vary considerably with each team and will vary as well because of requested participation and collocation from Coalition I international partners (See coordinating instructions, pg. 15). (5) The Project and Contracting Office (PCO), successor to the Program Management Office (PMO), will retain a presence in up to seven sites to manage implementation of the IRRF construction projects. 2.Mi ssion Not later than 30 June 2004, Departments of State and Defense establish two types of interagency teams at specified locations to expand the situational awareness and outreach capabilities of the US Mission Iraq and MNF-1 to all I 8 provinces in Iraq, supporting political and economic development in the provinces, conducting media outreach, assisting with election support, and implementing assistance and training programs. Regional Teams under the Chief of Mission will be established in Mosul, Kirkuk, AI Hillah, and Basrah; and a Provincial team (PT) in Baghdad. Five interagency teams, consisting oftwo Foreign Service Officers and military functional specialists including Civil Affairs and public affairs, with a foreign area Version 3.0 officer, will be embedded with and under the operational control of major subordinate commands (MSC) to coordinate with and advise local military commanders. 3 .Exec uti on a. ~ In order to maintain continuity with the Iraqi government from the local to the national level, DOS and DOD will establish interagency teams of several different types at national, regional, and provincial levels. These teams will ensure continuity of US operations throughout Iraq in the post-transition phases. They will provide critical linkage from the Chief of Mission to the regional and provincial levels for relief and reconstruction efforts, multinational force security, and to local and regional Iraqi governing bodies. The various teams will ensure unity of effort in civil-military operations and will ensure that Regional Coordinators and local military commanders maintain situational awareness on critical coordination requirements. Iraqi Provincial Governors will exercise full responsibility for their Provinces. The intent is that the Governors will be supported by Regional Teams on an as needed basis and will visit Regional Sites as required. Similarly, the Regional Coordinator will coordinate directly with the Governors and staff as required at either the Regional Site or the Governors' offices. After the Regional Sites and embedded teams are in place, the COM will have assets distributed as shown in Figure I, below.

UN Security Council Resolution 1546 (2004) l.S ituation a. Current Situation. (I) (2) (3) (4) (5) The Iraqi justice system is in its early stages of transition and development, as demonstrated by the reconstitution of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of the Interior and the criminal court system. The CPA has worked to restore both the justice system and a sense of confidence in the Iraqi people that the system is fair and transparent. The Iraqi Governing Council, under delegation of authority from the CPA, created the Iraqi Special Tribunal (1ST) to prosecute senior regime officials accused of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and violations of certain Iraqi laws. The Council of Judges, re-established by CPA Order 35, is charged with the supervision of the judicial and prosecutorial systems of Iraq and is independent ofthe Ministry of Justice. The Central Criminal Court oflraq (CCCI), established by CPA Order 13, exercises jurisdiction over those accused of attacks or attempted attacks against Coalition I Multinational Forces and of select major crimes under the Iraqi Criminal Code. Iraqi Criminal and Civil Courts exercise jurisdiction over all other cases. The Ministry of Justice, pursuant to CPA Order Number 10, is responsible for all prisons and detention facilities. The Ministry of Justice also represents the Iraqi Ministries, government agencies and State-owned enterprises in foreign litigation and arbitration matters, as well as before the United Nations Compensation Commission. The Iraqi Ministry of Justice no longer has any role in the judiciary. Its authority over judges and prosecutors, including their administrative support, has been removed in its entirety and placed under the Council of Judges. The Ministry oflnterior is responsible for the Iraqi Police Service (IPS), the Department of Border Enforcement (DBE) and Facilities Protection Service (FPS). VersionJ.O (6) The Iraqi Governing Council, under delegation of authority from the CPA, established the Commission on Public Integrity (CPI) to combat corruption within the Iraqi government. The CPI trains and monitors public officials, investigates allegations of corruption, and refers cases to the Iraqi courts for prosecution. Additionally, CPI is specifically charged with developing and implementing a Code of Conduct for all Interim Iraqi Government (IIG) employees, a financial disclosure initiative for top officials, and other transparency programs. CPI is also charged with encouraging ethical public service and accountability by developing and executing public relations and educational initiatives. Finally, CPI provides community outreach, anonymous tip hotlines, proposes legislation, and coordinates international training and assistance. b. Enemy Forces. (1) Insurgency and terrorist threats remain the primary risk factors that threaten the successful completion of relief and reconstruction efforts. The security situation hinders the operation of the internal security forces and the courts. (2) Similarly, these threats are an obstacle to foreign governments providing liaison officers to assist and advise the IIG on the prisons, police facilities, and other ministry work, particularly in locations outside of Baghdad, on a continuing basis. (See Annex B -Intelligence). (3) These threats hinder the work of Iraqi judges and prosecutors, particularly those handling cases involving captured insurgents or high-profile suspects. c. Friendly Forces. (1) The CPA advisors (liaison officers after 30 June) are in place throughout Iraqi ministries and their sub-organizations. (2) MNF-1. (a) MNF-1 is conducting detainee operations holding both security internees and a limited number of criminal detainees. (b) A Joint Service Law Enforcement Team composed of uniformed attorneys, investigators, and support personnel is assisting in the investigation and prosecution of crimes against Multinational Force personnel before the CCCI. (c) Office of Security Transition (OST) is responsible for organizing, equipping, training, mentoring and certifying all Iraqi security forces. (3) Department of Justice (DQJ). (a) The Overseas Prosecutorial Development, Assistance and Training (OPDAT) Program is providing training and advice to Iraqi judges and prosecutors, all of whom are within the Council of Judges. Version 3.0 (b) The International Criminal Investigative Training Assistance Program (ICIT AP) is developing and implementing training and technical assistance programs for the Iraqi Corrections Service. Additionally, ICIT AP is providing similar services to the IPS through OST. (c) The US Marshals Service (USMS) liaison staff is working closely with Iraqi counterparts to develop sound programs for courthouse security and protection of witnesses, judges, and prosecutors. (d) The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is conducting counter-terror intelligence gathering and investigations. The FBI's mission in this area will be defined after transition to a Legal Attache Office. It is also training and advising the IPS, through OST. (e) DOJ is leading US efforts supporting the Iraqi Special Tribunal (1ST) through the CPA Regime Crimes Liaison Office (RCLO) by providing prosecutors and investigators to work with their Iraqi counterparts. (f) The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is providing training and mentoring in Post-Blast Investigation and supporting Explosive Ordnance Disposal training to the IPS Counterterrorism Emergency Response Unit through OST. (g) The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is providing training to their Iraqi counterparts through OST. · ( 4) Department of State.

It is also funding specialized training to be conducted by FBI, ATF, DEA, ard ICITAP through OST. (b) Diplomatic Security I Office of Antiterrorism Assistance (OS I AT A) is supporting the training, equipping, and mentoring of an Iraqi Police Counterterrorism Emergency Response Unit through OST. d. Assumptions. (l) UN Security Council Resolution 1511 (2003) and Resolution 1546 (2004), and any successor resolutions along with orders of the CPA which continue in force after 30 June, will provide post-occupation authority to multinational forces to continue detention and to apprehend insurgents I terrorists in coordination with officials of the JIG. (2) Orders of the CPA providing for the establishment and organization of justice agencies will be retained through Phase V by the IIG. 2.Mi ssion P-3 SURE UNDERF E WITHOUT AUTHORITY OF INTERAGENCY TRANSITION PLANNI Version3.0 E REUND WITHOUT AUTHORITY OF INTERAGENCY TRANSITIO The US Government supports the Iraqi Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Interior, the Iraqi Special Tribunal, the Council of Judges, and the Commission on Public Integrity in developing the capacity to administer justice, enforce the laws, and institute a national strategic anti- corruption campaign within Iraq that is effective, efficient, and within international standards while respecting human rights. 3.Exec ution a. Concept of Operations. The US Government will continue to assist the Iraqi Interim Government and its successors in the development of its justice and law enforcement sector agencies through training, technical assistance, mentoring, certification and advice to these agencies and their personnel. The US government will continue to assist Iraqi courts, prosecutors, and investigators which are investigating and prosecuting criminal cases of interest to the United States, in particular cases before theIST and cases based on crimes against the MNF which are being tried before the CCCI. Assistance is rendered throughout Iraq including but not limited to crime scenes (e.g., mass graves), IPS and DBE training and facilities, prisons, and courts in all remote locations. The US Government will assist in the construction or renovation of necessary physical infrastructure to support justice sector activities. Transition from US I Coalition management to a sovereign Iraq will take place in the following strategic phases. (1) Phases I and II. During these phases, ITPT, Baghdad, with support from Transition Teams in Washington, D.C., will identify and outline Embassy functions to be initiated and maintained during the Phases III through V. Tre current liaison teams to the Ministries of Justice and the Interior, the Council of Judges and the courts, and the CPI will continue their missions. Liaison teams grow to planned end strength and receive equipment. DOJ and DOD support to the Iraqi Special Tribunal will continue. In accordance with NSPD-37 on US Support to the 1ST, the Regime Crimes Liaison (RCL) will take leadership of all USG efforts in support of the 1ST, which will become part of the Regime Crimes Liaison Office (RCLO). Under MNF-I, the Joint Service Law Enforcement Team (ISLET) and the Director of Detainee Operations and the Detainee Organization will continue to support the Central Criminal Court oflraq, while transferring as many detainees as possible from Coalition I MNF-1 to Iraqi custody. The US Mission will establish a Justice and Law Enforcement Working Group (JLEWG) under the leadership of the COM or his designee to coordinate the activities of all agencies, including OST, working in this area. The liaison teams to the ministries and the Commission on Public Integrity will be assigned to IRMO. The Civilian Police Advisory Training Team (CPATT) will be responsible for organizing, equipping, training, mentoring and certifYing IPS, DBE, arrl FPS, under the OST. Phase I ends with the dissolution ofthe CPA and the designation ofUS Mission Advance Team as the US Mission Iraq. Phase II ends with the transfer of sovereignty to the Iraqi Interim Government.

Situation. a. Current Situation. The DOD provides medical support to all military, as well as eligible USG employees working under COM authority and USG-funded contractor personnel (who are US nationals) in Iraq. Personnel requiring hospitalization and/or surgical support are treated at the Combat Support Hospital (CSH) located in Baghdad and Salad, or by DOD medical assets at other bases throughout Iraq. Patient movement out oflraq is currently supported by DOD aeromedical evacuation (AE) assets. USG-funded contractor personnel (who are US nationals) are managed by DOD in the same manner as eligible USG employees working under COM authority in Iraq. Ifthese personnel require evacuation out oflraq, they will be transferred to their appropriate non-USG healthcare provider(s) and movement resources at the earliest opportunity ( 1) The purpose of this Annex is to provide a concept of operations, assign tasks, and provide guidance to ensure an effective Health Service Support (HSS) system for all eligible USG employees working under COM authority and USG-funded contractors WITHOUT AUTHORITY OF INTERAGENCY TRANSITION (who are US nationals) in Iraq until such time as Iraqi or other contracted medical services achieve a satisfactory availability and standard of care, and the security situation permits the use of local hospitals in accordance with guidance contained in references (a) through (1). This annex applies to all Department of Defense (DOD), US Mission, eligible USG employees and USG-funded contractor personnel (who are US nationals) supporting Operation Sovereign Iraq. b. Enemy Forces. See Annex B- Intelligence. c. Friendly Forces. See Annex A- Command and Control. d. Assumptions. (1) Health Service Support, to include patient movement, is both a National and organizational responsibility. However, because of the security situation and limited medical resources currently available in Iraq, alJ deployed DOD medical assets will be considered Joint assets and available for use by all US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority. (2) The Host Nation (HN) medical infrastructure has been severely stressed as a result of the war and should be considered austere and overburdened by requirements to support the indigenous population. At this time, reliance on HN medical support for near-tenn requirements is untenable and should not be factored into the HSS architecture needed to support US personnel. (3) Threat levels will remain high in Iraq due to continued instability. The risk of traumatic injury as a result of contact with enemy factions or terrorists' employment of explosives and man-portable weapons will continue to necessitate access to medical support above the primary care level. (4) Regional US resources (military bases and/or US Embassies) and I or HN facilities in such countries as Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, and Qatar, when authorized by appropriate government entity, will be utilized for access to HSS and patient movement resources if unavailable in Iraq. (5) Deploying US Mission personnel wiil be healthy, fit, and will have appropriate immunizations/chemoprophylaxis and personal protective equipment (PPE) to counter threats endemic to Iraq. (6) DOS will screen USG employees under Chief of Mission (COM) authority prior to deployment to ensure personnel meet the parameters of this assumption (e.g., no chronic illness, compliance with required immunizations, etc.). DOD Force Health Protection (FHP) guidance supporting this assumption is available from the US Central Command (USCENTCOM) Surgeon's Office. Q-2 , SE WITHOUT AUTHORITY OF INTERAGENCY TRANSITION Version 3.0 (7) To the greatest extent possible, USG~funded contractors deploying to Iraq will also be free from chronic illness and/or injury, and will be sufficiently healthy and fit to perform their contractor duties. Contractor organizations that deploy employees to Iraq should be familiar with the necessary immunization/chemoprophylaxis and PPE requirements for forces employed in Iraq, and take the necessary steps to provide these resources to their employees. Failure to take these steps will put contractor employees at risk and increase the potential liability of the contract organizations. (8) Multinational Force-Iraq (MNF~I) will continue to provide HSS to eligible US personnel in Iraq, including US national USG employees, other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority, and USG funded contractor personnel who are US nationals, until DOD resources transition out~of~theater or Iraqi or other contracted medical services achieve a satisfactory availability and standard of care, and the security situation permits the use ofHN medical facilities, whichever occurs first. (9) Once established, the US Mission Health Unit will provide primary and ambulatory care HSS (defined as basic or general health care traditionally provided by physicians or nurse practitioners who specialize in broad scope family practice or internal medicine) to US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees under COM authority. (1 0) DOS will be responsible for coordinating with DOD for any ancillary care (defined as those tests and procedures ordered by healthcare providers to assist in patient diagnosis and I or treatment, e.g., radiology, laboratory, pathology, etc.) support requirements needed for personnel under COM authority, as long as DOD assets remain available in Iraq. (11) DOS will be responsible for coordinating with DOD MNF~l for all patient movement and aeromedical evacuation requirements until such time that the US Mission can establish adequate medical evacuation support (to include patient movement personnel resources, e.g., critical care providers) for US Mission employees. (12)For eligible persons, DOS will be responsible for coordinating with DOD MNF~I for all mortuary services and transportation of human remains until such time that the US Mission can either obtain acceptable HN mortuary support for the preparation of human remains and/or arrange for transportation of deceased persons to regional US bases capable of providing mortuary support and preparing for onward transportation back to the US. (13) USG~funded contractor organizations with employees in Iraq will be required to provide organic primary and ambulatory care assets to support their employees or arrange such care from another contractor organization. Failure to do so will place Q-3 E U 5 E WITHOUT AUTHORITY OF INTERAGENCY TRANSITlON Version 3.0 D ~~M 5 WITHOUT AUTHORITY OF INTERAGENCY TRANSITION P an unsupportable burden on US Mission medical resources and place contractor personnel at-risk of not having access to routine medical care. (14) US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority and USG funded contractor personnel (who are U.S. nationals) requiring extensive care above the primary care level (e.g., critical I intensive care, surgery, etc.) will require evacuation out-of-theater. (15) Per reference (L), DOD will not require reimbursement for all direct medical care (including hospitalization and surgery), ancillary care support, patient movement, and mortuary services and transportation ofhuman remains provided to US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority. Similarly, medical support provided to USG-funded contractor personnel (who are U.S. nationals) will not require reimbursement. Until such time as local commercial mortuary services are available, mortuary services to other US citizens will be provided on a reimbursable basis in accordance with 10 U.S.C. Section 1486. e. Limitations. (1) There are limited numbers ofin-theater hospital beds to support patient hospitalization. This will necessitate an emphasis on medically I surgically stabilizing critical care patients and placing them in the aeromedical evacuation system for return to the Continental US (CONUS) as soon as practicable. All HSS provided by DOD is subject to limitations of space and capabilities. (2) According to CPA medical personnel, the medical infrastructure in and around Baghdad has been severely degraded by the war. It will be some time before they are sufficiently recovered to be able to be factored in as potential medical resources to the US personnel working in Iraq. (3) There are limited types of specialty providers in-theater. This will require either access to telemedicine capabilities for those patients who can be managed by primary care providers receiving specialty consultation, or by evacuating complicated, non~Jife threatening cases out-of-theater. ( 4) Once DOD has transitioned out oflraq, there will be limited patient movement and aeromedical evacuation resources. DOS and USG-funded contractor organizations will have to rely on either organic or contractor assets to support patient movement and aeromedical evacuation requirements. (5) Once DOD has transitioned out oflraq, there will be limited command and signal resources to support rapid response in an emergency medical situation. DOS and USG-funded contractor organizations will have to create adequate medical communications architectures to support response requirements. Q-4 E ~M 5 WITHOUT AUTHORITY OF INTERAGENCY TRANSITION P Version 3.0 (6) Once DOD has transitioned out oflraq, DOS will utilize established DOD medical logistics infrastructure for resupply of medical and pharmaceutical resources as long as they are available (see section 4.a. [Medical Materiel] of this Annex). USG- funded contractor organizations will have to create adequate medical logistics infrastructures to support equipment and supply requirements for their medical support assets. (7) Blood supplies from HN sources in Iraq should be considered not in compliance with American Red Cross standards and should therefore not be utilized. Once DOD assets have transitioned out oflraq, DOS and USG-funded contractor organizations will have to negotiate for organic supply and storage of blood and blood products needed to support trauma/critical care patients. 2. Mission. US Government provides an effective Health Service Support (HSS) system for all US national USG employees, other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority, and USG-funded contractor personnel (who are US nationals) in Iraq during the transition. As directed, DOD continues to provide access to adequate medical, surgical, and mortuary support services to eligible USG personnel in Iraq. When directed, DOS sources and staffs the US Mission Health Unit (USMHU) to provide primary care medical support to all US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority. When directed, USG-funded contractor organizations with employees in Iraq provide adequate organic primary care assets to support their contractor personnel or arrange such care through another contractor organization. 3. Execution. a. Concept of Operations. The DOD/MNF-1 has established conditions and Theater deployment health standards to deploy healthy and fit personnel; employ an early forward, responsive Force Health Protection and disease surveillance system; achieve situational awareness; clear the battlefield of casualties; stabilize patients using forward surgical teams; and move patients rearward for hospitalization or return to duty. DOD I MNF-1 will coordinate with DOS to provide HSS for all US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority. DOS will establish the US Mission Health Unit to provide Primary Care support services to eligible USG employees under the authority of the COM. As USG-funded contractor personnel transition to Iraq to assume support functions, contractor organizations sourcing these personnel will provide organic primary care medical support or arrange such care from another contractor organization. (I) Transition. As DOS establishes the US Mission, the DOS will assume responsibility for the provision of primary care medical support to US national USG employees Version 3.0 and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority. Should space requested for the US Mission Health Unit not be completed at the time of the transition, DOS will coordinate with DOD I MNF-1 to establish an interim arrangement whereby the US Mission medical staff can provide primary and ambulatory care to its personnel at the closest DOD I MNF-1 Level III medical treatment facility (MTF). As USG-funded contractor personnel transition into Iraq, they will establish organic primary care medical support or arrange such care from another contractor organization. (2) Hospitalization. · (a) As long as DOD Level III MTF's remain in Iraq, they are to be considered Joint assets and as such, available to provide hospitalization and care for all US national USG employees, other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority, and USG-funded contractor personnel (who are US nationals). (b) Multinational Force Level III MTF's will likewise be available for hospitalization and care of all US Government personnel in extreme situations. US personnel admitted to Multinational Force Level III MTF's will be transferred to a US MTF as soon as it is proper to do so. (c) Hospitalization will be limited to stabilization and short-term medical treatment with an emphasis on returning patients to a full duty status. Patients who will require additional treatment or those whose condition(s) preclude a rapid return to duty will be placed in the Aeromedical Evacuation (AE) system for return to CONUS and more definitive care. (d) If US national USG employees, other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority or USG-funded contractor personnel (who are US nationals) are hospitalized in US or Coalition I Multinational Force- Iraq MTF's, the US Mission and USG-funded contractor organizations respectively, in coordination with the MNF-1, will provide administrative support, to include: facilitating patient movement requirements; develop adequate patient tracking and support mechanisms to provide visibility on patient location and status; and provide adequate administrative support functions (e.g., finance, communications outside the MTF, personal support functions, etc.). (e) If US national USG employees, other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority, or USG-funded contractor personnel (who are US nationals) are hospitalized in Iraq or in regional Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) State hospitals, the US Mission and USG-funded contractor organizations respectively will be responsible for providing the same level of administrative support enumerated above. Version 3.0 (3) Patient Movement. (a) Casualties in Iraq will be evacuated using all available modes of transportation, to include ground, dedicated rotary-wing aircraft, opportune rotary-wing aircraft, and fixed-wing aircraft. Evacuation of patients out oflraq will be made by fixed- wing assets available to support the patient movement mission. For planning purposes, evacuation directly from Iraq to CONUS can be made when strategic lift resources are available. The Joint Patient Movement Requirements Center (JPMRC) will coordinate movement of patients within Iraq; JPMRC will coordinate with the European Command (EUCOM) Theater Patient Movement Requirements Center (TPMRC) for movement of patients out oflraq. The US Transportation Command (TRANSCOM) Regulating and Command and Control Evacuation System (TRAC2ES) is the automated information system (AIS) for patient movement and tracking that will be used by all Level III MTF's and the JPMRC. (b) DOD will continue to provide aeromedical evacuation (AE) under this Annex at both the tactical and strategic-level when requested/required, as long as it does not interfere with the DOD mission; is considered emergent or lifesaving; is authorized by statute; or is requested by the Head of an Agency or Government pursuant to the Economy Act. (c) Commercial lift may be used to support patient movement requirements when it is considered expedient to the movement mission or at such time that DOD lift resources cannot be secured or the patient movement requirements do not fit the aforementioned parameters. (d) DOS and USG-funded contractor organizations respectively are responsible for coordinating with MNF-I for all patient movement of US national USG employees, other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority, and USG-funded contractor personnel (who are US citizens). MNF-I will continue to oversee regulating of these personnel between MTF's in Iraq until such time as the US Mission and USG-funded contractor organizations can establish support for their own personnel. (4) Host Nation Support. (a) Because of the difference in medical standards between the United States and Iraq, HNS for direct medical care and supplies will be considered only when those facilities I supplies meet US standards of care. (b) As noted in the Assumptions section ofthis Annex, the Iraqi Medical and Public Health infrastructure has been severely strained by the impact of the war and the FOR OFFICIAL following civil unrest. Setting aside the physical degradation of the Iraqi medical facilities, it is now and will continue to be difficult for Iraq to provide adequate medical support to its indigenous population. Therefore, for at least for the near- term, US personnel should not rely on HNS for the provision of medical care. (c) As the recovery matures, and the Iraqi Public Health and Medical infrastructure are deemed to be more capable, the US Mission and USG-funded contractor organizations may deem it acceptable to seek HN medical support at medical facilities determined to be sufficiently near US standards of care. (5) Other Health Service Support. (a) Care of Private U.S. Citizens. In support of consular operations and consistent with paragraph 3(a)(3) of Annex J, DOD will only provide medical services to private US citizens when life, limb, and eyesight saving support is required. This support will continue until such time as Iraqi companies or agencies are able to perform those services in a manner consistent with host country practices elsewhere in the world. (b) Care of Host Nation Civilians. Within available capabilities, DOD and Coalition I Multinational Force Iraq MTF's can provide HSS to Host Nation civilians when necessary for life, limb, or eyesight saving support. When DOD I MNF-1 Level III MTF's transition out of Iraq, the primary care resources of either the US Mission or USG-funded contractor organizations will not be capable of providing medical care and I or support to Host Nation Civilians. (c) Mortuary Affairs. Mortuary support will be provided to eligible USG employees working under COM authority and USG-funded contractor personnel (who are US nationals) working for DOS in Iraq. Mortuary Service will include search, recovery, identification, and disposition of remains and personal effects will be provided lAW Annex I (Logistics). Until such time as local commercial mortuary services are available, mortuary services to other US citizens will be provided on a reimbursable basis in accordance with I 0 U.S.C. Section 1486. (d) Civil Affairs. DOD I Multinational Force medical units currently participate in Civil Affairs programs as directed by the Commander, USCENTCOM. DOD I MNF-I medical units will continue to participate as directed. Medical assets that provide organic support to the US Mission and organic medical assets ofUSG- funded contractor organizations are not expected to have sufficient resources to engage in Civil Affairs programs. (e) Mass Casualties. US Mission Iraq and USG-funded contractor organizations will ensure that a mass casualty plan is developed and coordinated with DOD I MNF- 1. Version 3.0 E REUNDER SE WITHOUT AUTHORITY OF INTERAGENCY TRANSITION PL (6) Joint Blood Program. (a) The USCENTCOM Joint Blood Program (JBP) is a Theaterwwide system for the rec.eipt, storage and distribution of blood and blood products managed by the Joint Blood Program Office (JBPO). The USCENTCOM JBPO manages Theater blood resources and procures additional blood resources from CONUS via the Armed Services Blood program Office (ASBPO), WASHINGTON, DC. (b) Blood resupply will be with packed red cells. There is no frozen blood prepositioned in Theater. (c) DOD I MNFwl will continue to utilize the established Theater JBP. US national USG employees, other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority, and USG funded contractor personnel (who are U.S. nationals) will have access to JBP blood program resources if admitted to CENTCOM Theater Level III :rv'ITF's. Since the US Mission Medical Unit and USGwfunded contractor organizations will only be providing primary care medical support to its personnel, blood supply will not be resourced to those units. (7) Force Health Protection. DOD Force Health Protection (FHP) guidance is available from the US Central Command (USCENTCOM) Surgeon's Office. DOS and USG- funded contractor organizations deploying personnel to Iraq should institute effective elements of FHP measures and health surveillance programs to prevent disease and injury. These programs are integral to pre-deployment, deployment, and post- deployment operations. Health and environmental threat estimates are also available from the CENTCOM Surgeon's Medical Intelligence Estimate oflraq, and should be consulted prior to deployment to ensure adequate training and countermeasures are in-place. (8) Theater Evacuation Policy. There will be no stated Theater Evacuation Policy for DOS and USG personnel employed in Iraq. However, when patient care requirements exceed available medical resources, the decision to move patients out of Iraq will be made as soon as lift is made available and the patient's medical condition permits. (9) Dental Services. Dental care will be limited to treatment necessary to relieve suffering and alleviate impairment of an individual's ability to adequately perform assigned missions. US national USG employees, other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority, and USG funded contractor personnel (who are U.S. nationals) requiring dental services will access DOD I MNFwl resources for treatment. Since the US Mission Medical Unit and USGwfunded contractor organizations will only be providing primary care medical support to its personnel; dental services will not be organically available to those units. Once DOD I MNF-1 has transitioned out-of-theater, emergency dental care will have to be Version 3.0 REUND E WITHOUT AUTHORITY Q}' INTERAGENCY TRANSITION P accessed either outside of Iraq at the nearest DOD location, if authorized, or through HN dental providers deemed to be within an adequate standard of care. (10) Veterinary Services. Combined Forces Land Component Command (CFLCC) remains the executive agent for veterinary support services to all US agencies and contractor organizations deployed to Iraq. (11) Other Areas. Not applicable. b. Tasks. (Phases I through V) (1) Department ofDefense. (a) While deployed to Iraq, provide HSS to US national USG employees, other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority, and USG funded contractor personnel (who are U.S. nationals). (b) Provide medical and pharmaceutical re-supply to the US Mission Health Unit (USMHU) via the Single Integrated Medical Logistics Manager (SIMLM) supporting USCENTCOM's area of responsibility (AOR). (2) Department of State. (a) Ensure US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority are medically screened and provided with all appropriate force health protection resources prior to deployment. (b) Deploy appropriate HSS resources to support US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority. (c) Establish the USMHU to provide organic primary care medical support to US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority. (d) Provide initial medical and pharmaceutical supplies to support the USMHU. Coordinate with DOD for medical and pharmaceutical re-supply via the DOD's SIMLM (Unit Identification Code [UIC] required). (e) Coordinate all HSS planning and execution above the primary care level with the MNF-1 Command Surgeon's Office. (3) All USG-funded Contractor Organizations. (a) Ensure organic primary medical care support is available for all contractor Version 3.0 personnel employed in Iraq. (b) Ensure medical and pharmaceutical supplies are available to support the primary care mission for contractor personnel in Iraq. ( 4) Coordinating Instructions. (a) DOD will provide FHP and health surveillance program information to DOS and USG-funded contractor organizations to help prevent/minimize disease and injuries in the Iraq Theater of Operations. (b) DOD and DOS will coordinate an interim agreement to allow US Mission medical personnel to utilize DOD I MNF-1 Level III MTF's to provide primary care support to US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority. (c) DOD, DOS, and USG-funded contractor organizations will determine what services, care, supplies, and patient movement support will be provided to eligible USG employees working under COM authority and USG-funded contractor personnel (who are US nationals). 4. Administration and Logistics. a. Medical Materiel. Planning and executing the Health Service Logistics Support (HSLS) mission in Iraq will require close coordination between the DOD I MNF-1 and the US Mission medical staffs. Under the DOD aegis, USCENTCOM has designated the (Combined Forces Land Component Commander (CFLCC) to serve as the Executive Agent for the SIMLM for HSLS in the USCENTCOM AOR. The designation of the SIMLM facilitates the delivery ofHSLS by centralizing management and reducing excess redundancy of services and logistics capabilities within the AOR. Medical supply and re- supply in support of the US Mission Health Unit will be coordinated through the DOD SIMLM; remuneration for DOD-provided medical and pharmaceutical supplies provided to the US Mission Health Unit and U.S. Mission-funded contractor organizations will be a US Mission and USG-funded contractor organization responsibility, respectively. b.

Current Situation. (1) Intensive media interest in Iraq has produced a relentless flood of news stories, often slanted against the US-led occupation or overly anti-American (in the case of the pan- Arab media), that will continue for the foreseeable future. A variety of tactics and resources are required for communications effectiveness, given the nature of US and international media reporting in Iraq, which tends toward the following: immediate- term coverage ofterrorist attacks, multinational force and Iraqi casualties, religious and civil dissent, military operations, speculation with regard to mission success; and political and process coverage of multinational partnerships and US political and interagency issues. (2) The Coalition Provisional Authority's (CPA) current media and communications organization includes personnel and components aligned to emphasize mission successes to key audiences through US domestic regional and national media, international press, independent Iraqi media, and the Arab and Middle Eastern regional press. (3) The current size ofthe CPA's Public Affairs organization reflects the high priority of its mission and the complexity involved in executing effective public affairs programs in Iraq. Staffed by 80-plus personnel, the organization tends to be non-hierarchical and task-oriented and has achieved a significant degree of success in a challenging operational environment. It is an organization without equivalent in the Department of State (DOS) or Department of Defense (DOD) with military, career and non-career civilian, political, interagency and international staff collocated for immediate coordination on strategy, messaging and tactics. b.

Before July 1, 2004 (Phases I and 2): The Project and Contracting Office (PCO)/DA will inform DOS Procurement Executive before awarding any new acquisitions falling under Chief of Mission responsibility with performance periods extending beyond June 30, 2004 unless DOD will be administering and responsible for such acquisitions until they expire or are terminated. DOD shall notifY DOS regarding any expiring acquisitions with sufficient acquisition lead time to facilitate any follow-on acquisition required. DOD shall provide to DOS and maintain a list of acquisitions in place or planned for Iraq reconstruction upon request. b. July I, 2004 and after (Phases 3, 4 and 5): The PCO/DA will coordinate and provide acquisition support for requirements of US Mission Iraq, as requested. The support will be provided in Iraq where needed or from ovtside Iraq where feasible. c. d. e. f. The PCO!DA will not transfer any acquisitions to DOS without documented agreement from the DOS Procurement Executive. This authority may be delegated to DOS's Head of the Contracting Activity (HCA), Director ofthe Office of Acquisitions Management (A/LM/ AQM). The DA will coordinate oversight for the acquisition support provided by DA to DOS through established DA acquisition channels. DOS/US Mission will make requests under this MOA for acquisition support though the Chief of Mission or designee. Under such acquisitions, a DOS representative may be designated as a contracting officer's representative, as needed. The DA, through the HCA and the State HCA, shall act to resolve all issues that arise concerning operational support. Issues that prove to be irresolvable at that level will be forwarded to the AAE and State Procurement Executive for resolution, or if that fails, to higher authorities within DOD and DOS as appropriate. ANNEXC MEDICAL SUPPORT 1. Type of Support Being Provided: The purpose of this Annex is to establish between DOS and DOD the levels and types of medical care support services to be provided to eligible USG employees working under COM authority and USG-funded contractor personnel (who are US nationals) in Iraq. Health Service Support (HSS) covered by this agreement, as described below, will include both primary care and those aspects ofHSS above primary care, including hospitalization, surgery, ancillary care support (e.g., pharmacy, laboratory, diagnostic, and associated services and procedures), and patient movement. DOD support under this Annex is subject to limitations of space and capability. 2. Support Recipients: Section 904 of the Foreign Service Act authorizes DOS to provide medical care to "members of the Service, and (when incident to service abroad) other designated eligible Government employees, and members ofthe families of such members and employees," which would include US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority at the US Mission in Iraq. All other individuals present in Iraq are not eligible for primary medical care under the authority ofthe DOS Medical Program. DOD will provide HSS above primary care level to all eligible USG employees and USG-funded contractor personnel (who are US nationals) in Iraq. DOD will also provide certain emergency care service as described below to other US citizens, third country nationals and host country nationals. 3. Support Providers: DOD, USCENTCOM, and DOS. 4.

DODI 6000.11, "Patient Movement System," September 9, 1998 5. Details of Intended Support: a. Concept of Support. The Secretary of State (DOS) utilizing his authority provided by the Foreign Service Act of 1980 (22 U.S.C. 3901 et seq.), as amended, will establish primary health care services for US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority at the U.S. Mission in Iraq. The Secretary of Defense (DOD) has established conditions and theater deployment health standards to deploy healthy and fit personnel; employ an early forward, responsive Force Health Protection and disease surveillance system; achieve situational awareness; clear the battlefield of casualties; stabilize patients using forward surgical teams; and move patients rearward for hospitalization or return to duty. DODIUSCENTCOM will continue to provide Health Service Support (HSS) to all DOD supported personnel according to the standards already established and in place. DOD/USCENTCOM will coordinate with DOS to provide HSS for US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM Authority at the US Mission in Iraq. DOS will establish the US Mission Health Unit to provide Primary Care support services to US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority at the US Mission in Iraq. As specified by National Security Presidential Directive-36, May 11, 2004, Subject: US Government Operations in Iraq, and the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense and for the Reconstruction of Iraq and Afghanistan, P.L. 108-106, services or other support provided by DOD to DOS shall be provided on a non-reimbursable basis. 6. Transition: At the time DOS establishes the US Mission, DOS will assume responsibility for the provision of primary care medical support to US national employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under the COM. Should space requested for the US Mission Health Unit not be completed at the time ofthe transition, DOS and DODIUSCENTCOM will agree on an interim arrangement whereby the US Mission medical staff can provide primary and ambulatory care to its personnel at the closest DODIUSCENTCOM Level Ill medical treatment facility (MTF). Additionally, DOS will be responsible for contacting DOD counterparts to arrange/coordinate ancillary care support requirements (defined as those tests, procedures, and services ordered by healthcare providers to assist in patient diagnosis and/or treatment, e.g., radiology, laboratory, pathology, pharmacy, etc.) needed for US national employees and other designated eligible Government employees working under COM authority, as long as DOD assets remain available in Iraq. 7. Hospitalization: Level III MTFs will be available for hospitalization and care of all US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority, and USG-fundcd contractor personnel (who are US nationals) in Iraq. Hospitalization will be limited to stabilization and short-term medical treatment with an emphasis on returning patients to a full-duty status. Patients who will require additional treatment or those whose condition(s) preclude a rapid return to duty will be placed in the Aeromedical Evacuation (AE) system. IfUS national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority are hospitalized in US or Coalition MTFs, the US Mission in coordination with the USCENTCOM, will provide administrative support, including: facilitating patient movement requirements; utilize US Transportation Command (TRANSCOM) Regulating and Command and Control Evacuation System (TRAC2ES) to track patients while in the DOD evacuation system and support mechanisms to provide visibility on patient location and status; and providing other administrative support functions (e.g., finance, communications outside the MTF, personal support functions, etc.). HSS and patient movement resources for US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees under COM will be accessed by DOS utilizing the Regional US resources (military bases and/or US embassies) and/or Host Nation (HN) facilities in such countries as Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, and Qatar, ifthese are unavailable in Iraq. If US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority are hospitalized in Iraq or in regional Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) State hospitals, the US Mission will be responsible for providing the same level of administrative support enumerated above. 8. Patient Movement: Casualties in Iraq will be evacuated using available modes of transportation, including ground, dedicated rotary-wing aircraft, opportune rotary-wing aircraft, and fixed-wing aircraft. Evacuation of patients out of Iraq will be made by fixed-wing assets available to support the patient movement mission. For planning purposes, evacuation directly from Iraq to CONUS can be made when strategic lift resources are available. The Joint Patient Movement Requirements Center (JPMRC) will coordinate movement of patients within Iraq; JPMRC will coordinate with the Theater Patient Movement Requirements Center (TPMRC) for movement of patients out of Iraq. TRAC2ES is the automated information system (AIS) for patient movement and tracking that will be used by all Level III MTFs and the JPMRC. DOD will continue to provide AE under this Annex at both the tactical and strategic-level when requested/required, as long as it does not interfere with the DOD mission or whenever it is considered emergent or lifesaving. Commercial lift may be used to support patient movement requirements when it is considered expedient to the movement mission or at such time that DOD lift resources cannot be secured or the patient movement requirements do not fit the aforementioned parameters. DOS is responsible for coordinating with USCENTCOM for all patient movement of US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority. USCENTCOM will continue to regulate movement of these personnel between MTFs in Iraq until such time as the US Mission can establish support for their own personnel. 9. Host Nation Support: Because of the difference in medical standards between the US and Iraq, Host Nation Support (HNS) for direct medical care and supplies will be considered only when those facilities/supplies meet US standards of care. The Iraqi Medical and Public Health infrastructure has been severely strained by the effects of the war and civil unrest. Setting aside the physical degradation of the Iraqi medical facilities, it is now and will continue to be difficult for Iraq to provide adequate medical support to its indigenous population. Therefore, at least for the near-term future, US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority will not rely on HNS for the provision of medical care. As the recovery matures, and the Iraqi Public Health and Medical infrastructure is deemed to be sufficiently capable, the US Mission may deem it acceptable to seek HN medical support at medical facilities determined to be sufficiently near US standards of care. 10. Other Health Service Support: Mass Casualties. The US Mission will ensure that a mass casualty plan is developed and coordinated with DOD I USCENTCOM. Joint Blood Program. The USCENTCOM Joint Blood Program (JBP) is a Theater-wide system for the receipt, storage and distribution of blood and blood products managed by the Joint Blood Program Office (JBPO). The USCENTCOM JBPO manages Theater blood resources and procures additional blood resources from CONUS via the Armed Services Blood program Office (ASBPO). Blood re-supply will be with packed red cells. There is no frozen blood pre-positioned in Theater. 000/USCENTCOM will continue to utilize the established Theater JBP. US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority will have access to JBP blood program resources if admitted to USCENTCOM Theater Level III MTFs. Since the US Mission Medical Unit will only be providing primary care medical support to its personnel, blood supply will not be resourced to those units. Force Health Protection. DOD Force Health Protection (FHP) guidance is available from the USCENTCOM Surgeon's Office. USG deploying personnel to Iraq should institute effective elements ofFHP measures and health surveillance programs to prevent disease and injury. These programs are integral to pre-deployment, deployment, and post-deployment operations. Health and environmental threat estimates are also available from the USCENTCOM Surgeon's Medical Intelligence Estimate of Iraq, and should be consulted prior to deployment to ensure adequate training and countermeasures are in-place. Theater Evacuation Policy. There will be no stated Theater Evacuation Policy for USG personnel employed in Iraq. However, when patient care requirements exceed available medical resources, the decision to move patients out oflraq will be made as soon as lift is made available and the patient's medical condition permits. Dental Services. Dental care will be limited to treatment necessary to relieve suffering and alleviate impairment of an individual's ability to perform assigned missions adequately. US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority requiring dental services will access DOD/USCENTCOM resources for treatment. Since the US Mission Medical Unit will only be providing primary care medical support to its personnel, dental services will not be organically available in the US Mission Health Unit. Once DOD/USCENTCOM has transitioned out-of-theater, emergency dental care will have to be accessed either outside oflraq at the nearest DOD location, or through HN dental providers deemed to be within an adequate standard of care. 11. Tasks: DOD While deployed to Iraq, provide HSS to US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority. Provide medical and pharmaceutical re-supply to the US Mission Health Unit (USMHU) via the Single Integrated Medical Logistics Manager (SIMLM) supporting USCENTCOMs area of responsibility (AOR). · DOS Ensure US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees assigned to work under COM authority are medically screened and provided with all appropriate force health protection resources prior to deployment. Deploy appropriate HSS resources to support US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority. Establish the USMHU to provide organic primary care medical support to US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority. Provide initial medical and pharmaceutical supplies to support the USMHU. Coordinate with DOD for medical and pharmaceutical re-supply via the DOD's SIMLM (Unit Identification Code (UIC) required). Coordinate all HSS planning and execution above the primary care level with the USCENTCOM Command Surgeon's Office. 12. Coordinating Instructions: DOD will provide FHP and health surveillance program information to USG agencies to help prevent/minimize disease and injuries in the Iraq Theater of Operations. DOD will allow US Mission medical personnel to utilize DODIUSCENTCOM Level Ill MTFs to provide primary care support to US national USG employees and other designated eligible USG employees working under COM authority. 13. Administration and Logistics: Medical Materiel. Planning and executing the Health Service Logistics Support (HSLS) mission in Iraq will require close coordination between the DODIUSCENTCOM and the US Mission medical staffs. Under DOD, USCENTCOM has designated the Combined Forces Land Component Commander (CFLCC) to serve as the Executive Agent for the SIMLM for HSLS in the USCENTCOM A OR. The designation of the SIMLM facilitates the delivery of HSLS by centralizing management and reducing excess redundancy of services and logistics capabilities within the AOR. Medical supply and re-supply in support ofthe US Mission Health Unit will be coordinated through the DOD SIMLM. Reports. As appropriate under established organizational requirements. Command and Control. The command and control relationship between DOD and DOS is coordination. Once DOD has transitioned out of Iraq, there will be limited command and signal resources to support rapid response in an emergency medical situation. DOS will have to create adequate medical communications architectures to support response requirements. 14. Other Health Service Support: Personal Services Contract employees. Section 904 of the Foreign Service Act authorizes the Department of State to provide medical care to "members ofthe Service, and (when incident to service abroad) other designated eligible Government employees, and members of the families of such members and employees." Accordingly, individuals employed under Personal Services Contracts are eligible for medical care by the US Embassy Health Unit, provided that required medical clearances are obtained and that the employing agency provides funding for medical evacuation and/or treatment, if recommended by State Department medical officers and not otherwise provided by DOD assets. Private U.S. Citizens, Third Country Nationals, and Host Nation Civilians. Section 904 of the Foreign Service Act authorizes the Department of State to provide medical care to "members of the Service, and (when incident to service abroad) other designated eligible Government employees, and members ofthe families of such members and employees." Accordingly, private US citizens, third country nationals, and Host Nation Civilians located in Iraq are not eligible for medical care under the authority of the DOS Medical Program, and therefore are not covered by this agreement, except as noted below: a. DOD/USCENTCOM may continue to provide HHS to private US citizens, third country nationals, and foreign nationals when necessary for life, limb, and eye-sight saving support. DOD will not seek reimbursements for costs of these services from DOS. ANNEXD ADMINISTRATIVE AND LOGISTIC SUPPORT 1. TYPE OF SUPPORT BEING PROVIDED Facilities Maintenance and Services a.

APPENDIX 2 -MILITARY AIR SUPPORT OPERATIONS IN SUPPORT OF US MISSION 1. DOD will provide Military Air support for official transportation of U.S. Mission Personnel, including all official USG travelers in support of the Mission, between locations within Iraq until alternative transportation is determined to be safe and available. 2. U.S. Mission intends to use commercial surface and air carriers to move freight and diplomatic pouches into Iraq in support of Mission requirements provided it is safe and available. However, if commercial service is unavailable, DOD will provide Military Air support to move needed materiel. 3. DOD will provide Military Air support for official transportation of U.S. Mission Personnel, including all official USG travelers in support of the Mission, into and out of Iraq until alternative transportation is determined to be safe and available. 4. DOD will coordinate Military airlift support requirements for personnel, goods and programs under the COM. 5. Until such time as commercial air transportation has been deemed safe, and remains so for a reasonable period of time, DOD will support DOS air transportation needs according to the following: a. Fixed Wing: MILAIR Travel is provided by USCENTCOM Air Mobility Division (AMD) through Joint Movement Center (JMC) requests according to schedules and routes as requested. The initial Embassy request will be for a daily shuttle: Kuwait/Baghdad/ Amman/Baghdad/Kuwait. USCENTCOM will coordinate with AMD to ensure that the COM has appropriate air routes, at appropriate periodicities, to support COM business in-country and out-of-country. b. Rotary Wing: Each day, USCENTCOM will allocate two UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters to be available on a priority basis, at the same level of priority assigned to Commander MNF- 1. Daily (by 0900 if possible), the COM will release these aircraft, if not needed for COM use. Even if the dedicated craft have been released back into the pool for the day, aircraft from the pool will be available for COM use upon request, at the same priority level as Commander MNF-1. If additional helicopters are needed to meet mission requirements, requests will be submitted per the normal SOP, with as much advance notice as possible, in accordance with priorities based on principal passengers. APPENDIX 3- MORTUARY SERVICES 1. DOD will provide mortuary service and transportation of human remains to eligible USG employees working under the Chief of Mission (COM) authority, and USG-funded contractor personnel (who are US nationals) working for DOS in Iraq. Mortuary Service as covered by this agreement will include search, recovery, identification, and disposition of remains and personal effects. 2. 3. The COM and CDR USCENTCOM may coordinate to designate other individuals or organizations to receive these services. Mortuary services will be provided per the OPLAN Sovereign Iraq (reference k to this MOA), and the following: a) Joint Pub 4-06, Joint Tactics, Techniques and Procedures for Mortuary Affairs in Joint Operations, August 28, 1996 b) CCR 638-1, Deceased Personnel Mortuary Affairs Support, 2004 c) USCENTCOM Message, Mortuary Affairs Reporting Procedures in USCENTCOM AOR, DTG 292209ZOCT01 d) USCENTCOM Message, Mortuary Guidance for OEF, DTG 292141ZOCT01 (S) e) USCENTCOM Message, Procedures for Preservation of Evidence, DTG 131618ZAPR04 f) CCR 600-8, Casualty Services g) 10 u.s.c. § 1486 4.

Until such time as local commercial mortuary services are available, mortuary services to other US citizens will be provided in accordance with 10 U.S.C. § 1486. Provision ofthese services to non-USG employees will be on a reimbursable basis. DOD will not seek reimbursement for the cost of these services from DOS. 5. Until such time as commercial airlift is available in Iraq, mortuary support will be coordinated through the Theater Mortuary Affairs Executive Agent (TMAEA) in Camp Arifan, Kuwait; and through the Mortuary Affairs (MA) officer assigned to MNF-1. 6. DOD will: a) provide mortuary services as described above; b) coordinate all requests for waivers to move US civilians by MILAIR; c) ensure the COM, including the Consular Section, is kept well informed of all appropriate MA issues. 7. DOS will: a) coordinate all required mortuary services with the USCENTCOM J-4 and MNF-I C-4; b) coordinate all US civilian mortuary movements with the rv'lNF-I C4. ANNEXE INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT 1. Type of Support Being Provided: The USG Information and Communications Technology (ICT) mission is to install, transition, operate and maintain reliable seamless communications and ICT for DOS and DOD organizations deployed throughout Iraq. DOD and DOS communication assets in Iraq will also support other USG interests, as determined by the COM and CDR USCENTCOM. Specific support provided by this activity will include those services described in the matrix in paragraph 5 below. 2. Other Support Recipients: The intent is to support those individuals or organizations designated by the COM, in coordination with CDR USCENTCOM. 3. Support Providers: Support will be provided by: DOD, through its Communications Support Group (CSG); and DOS, through its Information Resource Management (IRM) bureau. 4. Details of Intended Support: a. DOS IRM will eventually provide all ICT support to organizations falling under COM. DOS IRM will use as many ofthe existing ICT assets purchased in support of CPA as practical, in coordination with the CSG. DOS will not remove assets from an operation network providing services to DOD or personnel under COM authority unless approved by the CSG. b. DOS will provide all COM-unique ICT support to embedded regional offices and teams. DOD communication assets, as part of the CSG, will be used initially to provide ICT services. c. The following table outlines the ICT support services provided by DOS and DOD, including designation of current service provider, the assigned follow-on provider, and the anticipated date of transition in those cases where responsibility for indicated services will transfer between agencies.

By direction of the COM and CDR USCENTCOM, DOS and DOD organizations in Iraq will provide the following support services, or establish the following lines of authority: (1) Requirement validation and prioritization will be adjudicated through normal channels, consistent with requirements validation processes, with all initial requests being submitted and processed through the originating organization (COM or CDR USCENTCOM). DOD requests will be processed by CIS (director of Communication and Information Services) or designated organization, while DOS (2) (3) (4) requests will be processed by the IPC. For all unfunded ICT requirements, an executive-level Senior Steering Group (SSG) has been formed in Baghdad to provide awareness of ICT initiatives ongoing throughout Iraq, and to recommend prioritization of projects, equipment, training, and sustainment of command, control, communication, computer and intelligence (C4I) operations for USG systems. This Steering Group will help create and maintain the most cost efficient, effective ICT architecture for USG operations in Iraq. It is comprised of senior ICT stakeholders from the DOS, DOD, CPA, USCENTCOM, the Intelligence Community, and the Senior Liaison for the Ministry of Communications as appropriate. The SSG will be co-chaired by DOS Information Management Officer (IMO) and the CSG, once established. The SSG is tasked with ensuring the sharing ofUSG ICT resources and contractual vehicles as practical in an attempt to find cost efficiencies, while capitalizing on existing infrastructure investments. The SSG provides advice on the implementation of the architecture during transition and in the subsequent phases of operations in Iraq. For those decisions beyond the control ofthe senior ICT representatives themselves, each member of the SSG has the responsibility to staff the recommendations of the SSG through their respective chains of command, resolving these issues at the lowest level possible, e.g. USCENTCOM Chief of Staff and the Deputy COM. An Executive Level Transition Panel (EL TP) has been established in Washington, DC, comprised of the Chieflnformation Officers (CIOs) of DOD, DOS, and the Intelligence Community to seek resolutions not attainable in theater. The SSG will continue to monitor the installation oflarge-bandwidth satellite downlinks in the Green Zone to prevent unnecessary duplication. The SSG will also work with the Ministry of Communications civil reconstruction effort to ensure that USG efforts are synchronized with Iraq reconstruction priorities, creating opportunities to shift some ICT services onto the Iraq civil telecommunications infrastructure. In accordance with the guidance of the DOD and DOS Chieflnformation Officers to share ICT infrastructure whenever possible to minimize duplication and ensure the maximum return on USG ICT infrastructure equipment essential for the provision of service by either COM or USCENTCOM, DOD will provide an inventory of all ICT equipment that provides ICT infrastructure to USG personnel in Iraq prior to June 30, 2004. DOD is responsible for correcting any errors or omissions in the Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR)-managed property book and other property books (e.g., containing assets under T.O. 44, T.O. 20, and D.O. 25). DOD and DOS will review the updated property inventory and mutually agree how equipment should be allocated between DOD and DOS so each can perform its individual mission. Once DOD and DOS agree on the allocation ofiCT equipment between USCENTCOM and DOS, they will cooperate to ensure that equipment allocated to USCENTCOM is transferred from the KBR-managed property book onto the property book of an organization to be designated by CDR USCENTCOM or his representative. Insofar as DOD and DOS identify ICT equipment that neither DOD nor DOS will need, they will mutually advise USCENTCOM on how to dispose of it. Equipment remaining on the KBR-managed property book will transfer to DOS upon establishment of the US Mission. After transfer of assets, the owner of each asset will maintain full financial responsibility for it. Although each item on this list is the property of its owner, items cannot be permanently removed if their removal would inhibit the ability of the COM to carry out its mission. Since the equipment on this list was intended for the operation of the CPA, as long as it is involved in supporting CPA's successor organization (the US Mission), the equipment on this list should remain for use in support of the US Mission, the Green Zone, or regional/provincial teams in Iraq until both DOD and DOS agree it can be removed. When USCENTCOM no longer utilizes this equipment to support the COM and DOS removes the equipment from its infrastructure supporting those organizations, the equipment owner can utilize or dispose of the equipment as it sees fit. (5) (6) DOD and DOS, through the CSG and IRM, will coordinate on planning and budgeting to ensure a smooth transition. Physical access to common ICT areas to provide for accomplishment of DOS and DOD missions in Iraq will be negotiated between the COM and CDR USCENTCOM designees. (7) (8) Authorized Service Interruption (ASI) (scheduled outages) will be coordinated directly between DOD and DOS network management centers. DOD will provide and DOS intends to use existing NIPRnet and SIPRnet assets where necessary, until such time as OpenNet and ClassNet are fully operational. (9) DOD and DOS will conduct an inventory of all USG cell phones currently used in support of CPA operations. In turn, DOD and DOS will establish use-justification standards, and will then implement plan to control toll charges. (1 0) DOD, via KBR, will provide DOS with a list ofiCT inventory by June 30, 2004. (II) DOD/CSG and DOSIIRM will agree on a list ofiCT assets to be transferred to USCENTCOM by June 15, 2004. (12) DOD/CSG and DOSIIRM will agree on a list of shared ICT assets critical to the operation of either the DOD/CSG or DOSIIRM networks by June 15, 2004. (13) DOD and DOS will continue to share the use of audio/video teleconferencing assets. (14) DOD and DOS will transition CPA web sites to the Bureau oflnternational Information Programs. (15) DOD and DOS will establish joint knowledge management and data transfer procedures in support of enduring operations. Historical files will be available based on functional requirements. (16) DOS will support all USG agencies in the regional offices with computer, radio, and telephone. DOD will continue to provide current levels of support until DOS support is in place. DOD will support DOS personnel embedded in USCENTCOM units.
