         TOPIC AREA: LACK OF MANAGEMENT TEAM PRIOR TO CREW ARRIVAL

         SUBMITTED BY: HQ AFRES/SGXO

         ISSUE: Management personnel should be deployed to sites ahead of
         everyone else.

         OBSERVATION: It was not uncommon for medical crews to be
         deployed to a site in advance of management personnel.

        DISCUSSION: Medical crew personnel were deployed to sites in
        advance of AECC/AECE personnel. There was no opportunity to have
        a unit structure in place prior to arrival of the medical crews.
        This resulted in crews reporting to a base with no management
        personnel available to assist them in processing into an
        established organization. Also, there was confusion at
        inbriefing and processing. Upon arrival to the site, AECC/AECE
        management personnel had to search for the medical crew personnel
        that had already reported to the site. Medical crew personnel
        frequently encounter problems in billeting, pay, and other
        management areas which they do not know how to handle.

         IMPACT: Acted to degrade mission effectiveness during early
         stages of deployment.

        RECOMMENDATION: It is essential that management personnel be
        assigned to a site to receive all other personnel.
