ARA performs unique assessments from an adversarial perspective (Red). The DoD Red Team (NE-MAR) is one of the assessment programs within the Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s (DTRA)-Operational Nuclear Enterprise Support Directorate, Mission Assurance Department (NE-MA). The DTRA Red Team emulates the full spectrum of identified adversarial capabilities from a foreign intelligence entity and/or a terrorist organization by applying both critical and creative thinking to demonstrate exploitation of vulnerabilities of selected national command and control architectures. The DoD Red Team is organized into several branches, one of which is the Authorities and Coordination Branch.
The Authorities and Coordination Coordinator (ACC) are assigned projects which include administrative as well as operational restrictions, safety, and security aspects. The ACC Coordinator performs all administrative tasks in preparation for an assessment to include drafting Warning, Fragmentary and Operation Orders, briefings, and resource requirements. The ACC Coordinator will also assist with drafting program plans and continuous review of the Ground Rules of Engagement to ensure compliance with statutory requirements and other directives. The ACC Coordinator assists the ACC Project Lead in developing procedures consistent with the policies of the DoD Red Team in regard to services required for project accomplishment. This includes developing program plans, project objectives, policies and ground rules, identifying constraints, and coordinating activities.
