He wants a bit more time to organize and strategize, however, and is willing ro delay their departure a bit to do so. - Furthermore, due to logistical constraints - limited beds, desks, computers, phones, and vehicles-- Jay Garner is unable to receive the team immediately. He does want them ready to deploy on short notice, however, so I would propose sending them for training at Ft. Benning a week from Sunday (30 March). When training concludes four days later (3 April), they can deploy straight from Benning if Garner is ready to take them or return to Washington for further organizing and strategizing if he's not. -- In the meantime, we will begin the process of getting the USG employees detailed to us and the others hired on contract. I am going to aslJ(b)(er<o)(7}(C):J who works in my office, to take on the management of this initiative. He will make sure this all gets worked quickly. I'll talk with Ray about this further this afternoon. f 6)(6) (b}(7)(C} Special Assistant to the Director Office of Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance Office of the Secretary of Defense The Pentagon Rooml<b}(2) I Washin ton DC 20301 Tel: 2> Fax~~~======~----~ Pager· E-mail -----Original Message----- ~----------------~ From: Carpenter, John S (DRL) [mailto:CarpenterJS@state.gov] Sent: Thursda March 20, 2003 1:10 PM To: b < 6> (b)(7)(C) CIV OSD-PQLICY' Cc: Cheney, Elizabeth L;fi!6> ( b)(i)(C} I CIV, OSD-POUCY' Subject: RE: comms Thanks so much for both emails.

Within a couple weeks of our deployment, I'd like to see om come out so that we can overlap for a bit before I return to DC. The basic idea is to have the group stay small in the first month or so but have some capacity to get outside Baghdad, if needed. A lot will depend on how others specify the parameters of the team's mission but the above group of folks would ensure that we'd be able to deal with many -- if not all -- eventualities.

Will come through Exec Sec channels. I just sent you an e-mail indicating that we would probably send people to trainign a week from Sunday and then either get you on a plane to the region from there or bring you back to DC to organize and stratgize here until Jay is logistically able to receive the group. He wants everyone with him soonest, but not before he can provide the beds, desks, phones, computers, vehicles, etc. that you will need to be productive. At the moment, communications are unreliable, movement is difficult, and access to computers is inadequate. Best regards, Special Assistant to the Director .

I understand that Ruth Whiteside is asking for a specific request from Jay on the d/g group and that you're working on that. I'll be in touch with our NEA folks here at State. In the·meantime, has anyone on Liz's list contacted you re: contracting? I've pointed a few people back in your direction. Obviously, until we're given the final green light much of this will have to be done on a contingency basis, but I'd like to line folks up ASAP. S.
