Appendix E — OPSG Operational Guidance Appendix E is intended to provide operational guidance to applicants on the development of the concept of operations and campaign planning, the tactical operation period and the reporting procedures. This also delineates specific roles and responsibilities, expectations for operations, and performance measures. Successful execution of these objectives will promote situational awareness among participating agencies and ensure a rapid, fluid response to emerging border - security conditions. ONG uses an integrated approach to address transnational criminal activity. Federal, state, local, Tribal, and territorial partners are required to establish and maintain an OPSG Integrated Planning Team (IPT) with representation from all participating law enforcement agencies, co- chaired by representatives from USBP, the SAA, and participating local law enforcement agencies' OPSG program representatives. USBP will provide routine monitoring and technical expertise to each participating agency. The content of each operational plan, to include the requested items will be reviewed for border -security value and approved by the corresponding sector's Chief Patrol Agent or his/her designee. All operational plans should be crafted in cooperation and coordination among Federal, state, local, Tribal, and territorial partners, to meet the needs of the USBP Sector. Consideration will be given to applications that are coordinated across multiple jurisdictions. All applicants must coordinate with the CBP/BP Sector Headquarters with geographic responsibility for the applicant's location in developing and submitting an Operations Order with an embedded budget to the SAA. As OPSG continues to evolve, several proven practices are being recognized, centered on short- term, periodic operations in support of overarching near and long -tern goals. A multi -step process will be established through the area IPT, including a campaign plan and a cycle of operations to ensure that OPSG partners maintain synergism and have a coordinated impact on reducing border -security risk. I. Concept of Operations and Campaign Planning (Post Allocation Announcement/Pre- Award) The overarching operational cycle involves three stages; application, concept of operations to formulate a Campaign Plan and one or more tactical operational periods, which are all developed by the IPT. First Stage: Please refer to section IX of the full NOFO. Second Stage (Post Award): After awards are announced participants will create and submit an operations order that forms a campaign plan and captures the initial, generalized -budgetary intent to their IPT. The campaign plan should articulate the participant agency's long-term border security objectives and goals designed to mitigate border -security risk. 66 Appendix E—OPSG Operational Guidance
