23 Sep 2011: QUASAS Support

Comment: Have we been tasked to provide QUASAS support to Puerto Rico?

Answer: 28 Sep: The National Guard is requesting QASAS support for retrograde
mission 14 Oct - 19 Nov in Puerto Rico.  This is in Fort Stewart's AR 5-9
area.  DOL expressed concern in providing requested support due to a planned
rotation of QASAS personnel as well as heavy range training and firing
scheduled during this time frame.  DOL is working with ASC Class V transition
team to secure personnel for the mission.  Fort Stewart has planned for $11K
in TDY to support this mission.

Update: 17 Oct: Camp Santiago, Puerto Rico has requested QASAS support for a mid-December
Call Forward/Retrograde mission They are requesting QASAS support under 5-9,
normally this would fall within Ft. Stewart's area for execution. Fort
Stewart is authorized 3 QASAS but due to personnel issues there is only one
QASAS available at this time and Ft. Stewart can't support but will pay
travel for the QASAS to support. HQ, ASC and HQ, IMCOM COA has directed
support from one of the 6 QASAS at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD.
According to AR 5-9, Fort Stewart has QASAS area support requirements that
include Camp Santiago in Puerto Rico.  Fort Stewart DOL will fund this TDY
mission. POC at Fort Stewart, GA DOL is Nia Landry 912-435-0009 to request
and process TDY funding in support of the mission.
Purpose is an annual Joint Munitions Command, JMC/CAM requirement to provide
support to a Call Forward & retrograde Class V Mission.
TDY timeframe for the support this year is 14 November thru 19 Dec 2011.
