Civil Defense Mass Evacuation Shelter Cell
Mission Scope
- Treat this skill as a planning and decision-support aid for U.S. warfighter missions in its domain.
- Start by confirming echelon, operating environment, available authorities, time horizon, and required decision points.
- Keep products unclassified by default unless the user provides handling guidance and controlled data.
Workflow
- Frame the mission problem using these core inputs: commander objectives, force disposition, operating constraints, and key intelligence gaps.
- Identify assumptions, decision thresholds, and what reporting or indicators would invalidate the current plan.
- Build primary and alternate options with explicit tradeoffs in tempo, survivability, sustainment burden, and escalation risk.
- Integrate dependencies across joint functions: command and control, movement/maneuver, fires/effects, intelligence, protection, sustainment, and information.
- Produce commander-facing outputs and a staff-action version with owners, suspense dates, and branch triggers.
Required Output Format
Deliver results in this order:
- Situation snapshot: current conditions and key changes since last update.
- Recommended option: one clearly stated recommendation and rationale.
- Alternative options: at least two alternatives with pros, cons, and trigger conditions.
- Decision points: what must be decided now, later, or pre-delegated.
- Staff tasking: who does what by when.
Domain Products
Primary products for this skill: mass-evacuation sequence plan, shelter load balancing brief, life-safety decision trigger table.
External Tools and Protocol Integration
- Use the integration baseline in
../_shared/references/external-tools-protocols.mdand name the exact tools selected for this mission set. - Include a domain toolchain profile selection and rationale (primary, alternate, and degraded-mode stack).
- Prioritize these tools or protocol families for this domain: emergency operations dashboards, transportation evacuation tools, shelter capacity systems.
- State the protocol or message format for outbound coordination (for example USMTF, API/JSON, STIX/TAXII).
- Choose at least one primary system-of-record and one cross-check source before final recommendations.
- Include provenance metadata in outputs: source system, refresh time (UTC), assumptions, and confidence.
Interoperability Validation Checklist
- Run the mission assurance workflow in
../_shared/references/mission-assurance-checklist.mdbefore final release. - Validate that each product includes source provenance, protocol/message format, UTC refresh time, confidence, and known gaps.
- If interoperability checks fail, provide a degraded-mode plan and required staff coordination actions.
Tool Invocation Contract
- For each external tool recommendation, include: objective, required inputs, query/action template, expected output schema, transport protocol, and fallback path.
- Explicitly map tool outputs to decision points so operators can validate mission relevance quickly.
- If a tool is unavailable, provide a manual workaround with expected time and confidence impact.
Guardrails
- Flag gaps where assumptions exceed evidence.
- Identify legal, policy, ROE, safety, and coalition interoperability constraints early.
- Separate facts, assessed judgments, and unknowns.
- Do not fabricate classified sources, authorities, or approvals.
Tool Protocol Playbooks
- Use protocol examples in ../_shared/references/tool-protocol-playbooks.md to produce operator-ready tool invocation packets.
- Use adapter contract guidance in ../_shared/references/external-tool-endpoints-and-adapters.md to define endpoint schemas, transport, and fallback behavior.
- Add at least one machine-ingestible packet and one commander-readable summary for each critical recommendation.
Domain Tool Packet Library
- Use scenario packets in ../_shared/references/domain-tool-packet-library.md for domain-specific external tool selections and message templates.
- Include a
packet_idandprotocol_profilefrom the library for each critical recommendation. - If no packet matches, define a provisional packet using the same schema and note the validation owner.
Domain Data Contract
- Use mapping guidance in ../_shared/references/joint-mission-data-contracts.md to define required fields, validation gates, and releasability tags for this mission domain.
- Ensure every mission recommendation references a data contract profile and identifies required schema checks before publication.
Operational Learning Loop
- Use
../_shared/references/operational-learning-and-after-action-loop.mdto generate after-action deltas, corrective actions, and readiness metrics for this domain. - Include an
aar_id, effect delta assessment, and owner/suspense for each high-impact recommendation. - If post-action data is incomplete, issue a provisional learning note with confidence and revalidation deadline.
Readiness Certification Evidence Pack

../_shared/references/external-tools-protocols.mdas an explicit step sequence, not as guidance only. - For each critical dependency, include
invoke_order,adapter_contract_id,packet_id,protocol_profile, and timeout/retry settings. - Record acknowledgment status for each tool call and publish a degraded-mode branch when any dependency misses SLA.
- Require a human command check before acting on outputs that can materially change force posture, mission risk, or escalation.
Domain Toolchain Profile Binding
- Use
../_shared/references/domain-toolchain-profiles.mdand select a requiredtoolchain_idfor each critical recommendation. - Include
primary_system,cross_check_system,protocol_binding,credential_scope, andfallback_pathfields in every tool invocation packet. - Mark recommendations as
provisionalwhen toolchain authority, credential scope, or cross-check data freshness is incomplete.
Tool Health and Trust Monitoring
- Use
../_shared/references/tool-health-and-trust-monitoring.mdto include pre-mission tool health checks, trust score updates, and failover timing evidence. - Add
tool_health_id,trust_score,last_probe_utc, andfailover_executedfields for every critical external dependency. - If tool trust posture drops below mission threshold, publish a no-go or degraded recommendation with explicit commander decision prompts.
U.S. Joint Protocol Assurance Drill
- Use
../_shared/references/us-joint-protocol-assurance-drill.mdto run a mandatory pre-release drill for protocol conformance, cryptographic trust, and message acknowledgment integrity. - Include
assurance_drill_id,interop_score,crypto_posture, andack_chain_statusfields for each critical recommendation. - If the drill fails any gate, publish a constrained-employment recommendation with specific remediation owners and suspense.
