Funding Domestic Operations Immediate Response Authority (IRA) and Fiscal Implications
Key Resources Overview When imminent serious conditions exist, a Federal military commander, head of a DOD Component, or responsible DOD civilian official may temporarily use the resources under their control, including military forces, into the civilian community to save lives, prevent human suffering, or mitigate great property damage.

IRA: Considerations All requests from civil authorities and qualifying entities for assistance shall be evaluated for: Cost (including the source of funding and the effect on the DoD budget) Appropriateness (whether providing the requested support is in the interest of the Department) Risk (safety of DoD Forces) Readiness (impact on the Department of Defense s ability to perform its other primary missions). Legality (compliance with laws) Lethality (potential use of lethal force by or against DoD Forces) DoDD 3025.18, December 29, 2010
IRA: Use C-A-R-R-L-L Factors Approval Authority - Installation Commander Practical Application: Cost Appropriateness Risk Readiness Legality Lethality 1. Local/State resources applied first 2. Emergency Management Assistance Compacts (EMAC) exhausted 3. Request for Federal support Only minimum essential Federal resources No time for high HQ approval Should be written & seek reimbursement 4. Consider C-A-R-R-L-L factors 5.

IRA: Funding and Reimbursement DoD officials may provide IRA support using resources under their control. Support will not be delayed or denied based on the inability or unwillingness of the requester to make a commitment to reimburse the DoD. Oral requests must be followed by a written request that includes an offer to reimburse the Department of Defense at the earliest available opportunity.
