A. NTP-8(D) DRAFT
1. REF A IS THE CURRENT VERSION OF OUR COMMUNICATION INSTRUCTIONS.
THE DRAFT WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL THE FINAL VERSION IS
RELEASED. ALL HANDS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REVIEW NTP-8(D) IN ITS
ENTIRETY. IF YOU SUSPECTED ERRORS PASS THE ITEM TO NNN0ASA
VA VIA THE CHAIN OF COMMAND.
2. THIS ECOM TRAIN TIPS WILL ADDRESS SOME OF THE DIFFERENCES,
IN ANNEX DELTA, BETWEEN NTP-8(C) AND REF A. THE INFORMATION IN
PRESENTED HEREIN WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE MINUTES OF REGION FOUR'S
MONTHLY ECOM NET MINUTES (DECEMBER 2005). MY THANKS TO NNN0AS4
TWO AL.
3. REF A HAS SHIFTED SOME RESPONSIBILITIES FROM REGION TO AREA
DIRECTORS. ALL HANDS SHOULD STUDY CAREFULLY STATE DIRECTOR
RESPONSIBILITIES IN PARA D230 AND COMBINE THESE WITH ECOM MESSAGE
INSTRUCTIONS IN PARA D700.
4. THE 'OVERALL REPORT' IS NOW 'AFTER ACTION REPORT' AND THIS
MUST BE USED AS THE SUBJECT LINE. THE REPORT IS NOW ADDRESSED TO
BOTH THE AREA DIRECTOR AND THE REGION DIRECTOR AND IS DUE WITHIN
SEVEN (7) DAYS OF THE ECOM EVENT. THE SAME NINE PARAGRAPHS MUST
STILL BE INCLUDED.
5. THE EXERCISE PLAN IS DUE FIFTEEN (15) DAYS PRIOR TO THE
EXERCISE AND IS NOW ADDRESSED TO BOTH THE AREA AND REGION
DIRECTOR. THE AREA DIRECTOR IS THEN REQUIRED TO REPORT THE
EXERCISE TO NNN0ASA AND NNN0ASZ.
6. ACTIVATION OF ECOM PLANS AND IMPLEMENTATION REPORT GUIDANCE IS
SOMEWHAT CHANGED. BE SURE TO STUDY PARAGRAPHS D300 AND D710. FOR
MEMBERS IN GENERAL NOTE THAT ACTIVATION NOW MUST BE DIRECTED BY
HIGHER AUTHORITY OR REQUESTED BY MILITARY OR CIVILIAN
AUTHORITIES. IMPLEMENTATION REPORTS MUST NOW BE ADDRESSED TO
NNN0ASA, NNN0ASZ, REGION AND AREA DIRECTORS WITH INFO ADDEES
THEIR ASSISTANTS FOR ECOM.
7. PARA D430.B.(4) WHICH REQUIRES AN IMPLEMENTATION REPORT FOR
COMCON ONE IS MISLEADING AND WILL BE DELETED. IAW PARA D710
IMPLEMENTATION REPORTS ARE REQUIRED ANY TIME ANY PORTION OF
ANNEX D IS ACTIVATED.
8. SITREPS FROM ON-SCENE MEMBERS ARE NOW REQUIRED TO BE
ADDRESSED TO AREA, REGION AND STATE DIRECTORS. INFO COPIES SHOULD
BE SENT TO AREA, REGION, AND STATE TWO'S AS WELL AS OTHERS AS MAY
