Agenda 3 Matter of Acknowledged

3.1 The 1st ACMM LOs meeting 2019

GP CAPT Sudjai : The 1st ACMM LOs meeting 2019 will conduct during 21st – 25th Jan, 2019.

ATTACHMENT 1 87

exercise will be run SOP Form 1 to Form 7 and discuss guideline of ACMM LO to be ACMM CO

in crisis situation. Registration now confirmed from 15 countries. LO from New Zealand cannot

attend by the way Korea and Vietnam representative may be Defense Attaché.

MG Pramote : The objective in conclusion for the 1st LOs meeting 2019, is to share our

experience in practical situation from Attapeu Dam collapsed in LAOs and Tsunami in Indonesia.

From the slide you can see some new LOs replacement due to previous LO has changed their

position. This is a good time to catch up with the others and the outcome of this meeting LOs will

get familiar to the coordination process about the HADR’s Form 1-5 and all details that need to

be used for coordination in the real situation.

GP CAPT Sudjai : May I ask 1st ADMIRAL Arie, BOD’s Indonesia that at first ACMM asked

COL Buyong and LTC Irasari for sharing the Tsunami experience in Indonesia ,but this time

Indonesia DA, COL Suboyo, will be a representative. Is he has any experience or not?

1st Admiral Arie : This time we cannot send LO to join the meeting because of the budgeting is

not coming yet. Also we have several meetings in January that we must attend in the Ministry of

Defence and also in our office. I would like to propose that for next year may LO Meeting can be

conduct in February. Regarding the representative from Indonesia this time will be Defence

Attaché in Thailand and I will ask COL Buyong to make a presentation and send to him together

with information needed and explain detail of presentation to him.

MG Pramote : Thank you Sir. We will note that next year in January is too early to conduct

meeting. Is there any comments or suggestion?

LTC Soh : Thank you SC for organizing I have no comment and also agree with 1st Admiral Arie

that perhaps February will be better because everybody come back from leave in December

and busy in January.

MG Pramote : We will note that in next year plan. I am sure that after the meeting each LOs will

get familiar to the HADR Form and regarding sharing and discussion about those experiences

LO will be able to fill up form and if there is disaster next time in any area they can do their job

better.

3.2 EWG MM at Lucknow, India on Dec 2 - 6, 2018

GP CAPT Sudjai : I would like to thank you BODs for give us permission to join EWG MM in

Disease Control. In the third day was about briefing on field training exercise and continued to

wait for participant registration to this activity.

MG Pramote : These were all activities in EWG MM last month and the preparation for FTX in

March this year.

Agenda 4 Matters for consideration

4.1 Update Year Plan 2019

Sr.COL Titisak : As in the last VTC BODs Meeting, BODs agreed to withdraw the topic of MERT

program and would propose to this meeting.

First I would like to start with our Road Map ACMM 2015 – 2019. Now we are in the

transformation phase ACMM is planned to be the ASEAN Ministerial Sectoral Body this year and

during the transformation phase we are waiting for ACMM approval by the 4th BODs meeting

2019, this year for standardization of strategy ACMM will develop the SOP, Regulation Rules and

Internal guideline and also have to build up Central AMMAT and Local AMMAT for ASEAN

Member States (AMS). We plan for the Medical Search and Rescue training and also Level 1,

Medical Unit training, and Level 2 Hospital Training. Today I would like to propose Level 1

Medical training or the Military Medical Emergency Response Team.

The objective of MERT training is to standardize the capability of the AMS Level 1

Medical Unit in HADR operations and we also would like to strengthen the relationship among

our Military Medical Personnel and at the end states required is guideline ACMM for M MERT for

Level 1 Medical Unit this is in accordance to our Road Map. Our plan is to have 5 persons per

country and ACMM will support airfares, meals and accommodations.

This is the draft of tentative schedule for the training I would like to propose to

you. All is 5 days training, the 1st and the 5th day is travelling day and the 2nd day will be the

presentation on the draft guideline for ACMM MERT or Level 1 Medical Unit. Then after that will

be presentation about guideline to all participants. The 3rd day we will test the guideline by FTX

89

and will be conducted during day and night for 24 hrs. The 4th day will be wrapping up,

discussion about FTX and AAR then will be cultural tour and the last day is travelling back day.

This estimated budget propose to you for consideration including airfare for 9

countries except Thailand, local transportation, accommodation, meals and allowances for the

ACMM officer staffs and supporting agencies. Total budget is approximately 30,000 USD. So, If

you approve we will have MERT training in this year and the total budget this year will raise to

375,000 USD which is above our estimate income 350,000 USD, but last year we have some left

over and according to the FRP the last year budget that left over will transfer to the capability

enhancing fund which BODs can use it for increasing our capability. Thank you Sir.

MG Pramote : In conclusion, Level 1 exchange training is in our Road Map and it is one of our

main strategy that ACMM would like to standardize our Military Medical Team and from

exchange training each country can have their own team to be the first responder in each

country and will have another 9 teams in the neighboring country to help each other. I would like

to hear some comment from our members, please.

LTC Ibuna : Mr.Chairman, Regarding the establishment of the Local AMMAT, I was not in the

last meeting. What are the types of Local AMMAT?

Sr.COL Titisak : May I answer this question sir, from our Road Map ACMM will have to build up

two types of AMMAT. Central one will station in ACMM which will be back up the Local AMMAT

and Local AMMAT will be in each AMS and it under the command and control of your Air Forces.

LTC Ibuna : OK. Thank you.

MG Pramote : This exchange training is not AMMAT, This exchange training is Level 1 we call

“MERT”. The Level 1 medical team is very useful when there is disaster anywhere they always

request for Level 1 Medical Support.

LTC Ibuna : Thank you sir, I have the question regarding to the previous presentation by Sr.COL

Titisak. I ask about regarding the AMMAT. Thank you sir.

Chairman : Do we have guideline of MERT yet?

MG Pramote : We do not have the complete one yet ,but after we have exchange training and

exchange our experience among the team then we will draft the initial draft from the training.

That is our aim of exchange training.

LTC Soh : I think that as part of the year plan we should proceed and I know that we will never

have enough money to train everybody. So whether it is 3, 5 or 10 pax per country is a number

we try our best to do as many we can. But looking at the budget and I know we have left over

90

money but we have to safe some fund for emergency. May be we can consider lesser number of

people instead of 5 so that we can match the budget and not over the budget. Is there any

special consideration for the 5 pax?

MG Pramote : At first we plan to train 5 pax, 1 Doctor, 2 Nurses and 2 Medics which they can

form the team together. And this 5 when they go back they can also train other people.

LTC Soh : Singapore at this point is supportive depending on the time we send representative

we may not be able to make all 5. Because at the end of the year can be a very busy period of

course but Singapore is supportive of this.

Chairman : Can we send may be 3 or 4 staffs to join this training?

MG Pramote : Yes, it is depend on the BODs decision, sir.

1st Admiral Arie : If the budget not enough may be the minimal we can send 3 ; 1 Doctor, 1

Nurse and 1 Paramedic. If the budget is enough we can send 5

MG Pramote : I think the budget is enough because the total amount is 30,000 USD and you

can see from the year plan 2019 we have accumulation of the 370,000 USD.

Chairman : I think 5 pax per country is appropriate, right?

1st Admiral Arie : This 5 pax is per country?

Sr.COL Titisak : In our plan is 5 pax per each country but, if you consider that we may have

some trouble in ACMM budget we can reduce the number of participant depend on your

decision sir.

1st Admiral Arie : Is the budget including flight to Bangkok and local transport to the place of the

training?

MG Pramote : Yes sir, airfares Included.

1st Admiral Arie : if include airfare, I agree on 5 pax, If not include airfares I suppose to reduce it

to 3 pax.

MG Pramote : I think everyone can get good experience from this exchange training.

1st Admiral Arie : From Indonesia I agree to send 5 pax per country.

BG Chhun : One more time about the 5 pax what is the specialist in the team.

MG Pramote : We plan to have 1 Doctor, 2 Nurses and 2 Medics.

BG Chhun : For Cambodia I will discuss with higher level and I will inform you later after this

meeting.

MG Pramote : For consensus agreement after we make a decision in VTC ACMM will circulate

the results to every members of the BODs and will waiting for all BODs comments. This is only

91

initial decision and we waiting 1 month for reply. We will collect in every details of MERT training

and will circulate to every BODs.

BG Chhun : I need to clarify that these 5 pax will be covered by ACMM fund.

MG Pramote : ACMM will pay for airfare, traveling from the airport to the training site, meal and

accommodation but, not including allowance. Allowance is only for the staffs.

BG Chhun : I could confirm at lease we will send 3; 1 doctor, 1 nurse and 1 medic.

MG Pramote : We spare 5 places for you, can add it on later.

LTC Ibuna : Regarding the number can we modify sending 2 doctors, 1 nurse and 2

paramedics. Is it possible?

MG Pramote : Yes, it is possible.

Sr.COL Titisak : Chairman, may I conclude that the BODs initially approve in principle that we

will have the MERT training and Secretariat office will send the full project paper and draft of

MERT Level 1 to BODs from 10 countries and will wait for 1 month and if any comments or any

amendment or correction we will wait for 1 month.

1st Admiral Arie : Yes, I am agree.

The Meeting : Initial agree for Exchange Training Course and waiting for ACMM to circulate the

detail about the course to every member and if no objection from the members in one month the

conclusion is approve.

4.2 CPX ECG, FTX EWG MM at Lucknow, India during March 8-18, 2019

Sr.COL Titisak : ACMM received the invitation letter from Myanmar and India, Co-Chair of EWG

on MM, to join FTX in Lucknow, India in March. They invite us for the Command Post Exercise

(CPX) and Field Training Exercise (FTX) and also the Exercise Control Group (ECG).

Sr.COL Titisak : May I ask for permission to send representative from ACMM to the Exercise

which will be held by EWG. Our plan is to mainly join the CPX and if possible we will conduct the

VTC from India to the ACMM office and also ask our LOs from 18 countries to join the exercise

through the VTC too. The budget will be used approximately 10,000 USD for 3 persons.

LTC Soh : Support sir.

1st Admiral Arie : I am agree.

BG Chhun : Agree sir.

LTC Ibuna : I am Agree sir.

Chairman : Thailand is agree. So ACMM will send 3 persons to join CPX ECG, FTX EWG MM at

Lucknow, India during March 8-18, 2019 using ACMM budget at 10,000 USD.

92

Agenda 5 Any Other Matters (AOM)

Sr.COL Titisak : I have 1 topic sir, In the our Road Map now we are in the transformation phase

and we will be the ASEAN Sectoral Body next year so we have to register to the ASEAN

Secretariat. This is (on slide) the report of 12th ADMM next year “Thailand has proposed to

designate the ACMM as subsidiary body under the ADMM. It’s will be the ADMM Sectoral

Ministry Body and will be in the Annex 1 of the ASEAN Chater and the ADSOM has endorsed

this proposal and they asked ASEAN Secretariat to work with Thailand on the attendance

process” This is the result of 12th ADMM in Singapore. Some comments from the Committee

Permanent Representative (CPR) of AMS to the ASEAN Secretariat. The TOR of ACMM, in

chapter one stated that the ACMM shall be an entity associated with ASEAN under Article 16 of

the ASEAN Charter which mean it will be in Annex 2 but, the ADSOM has endorsed the ACMM in

Annex 1 and ADMM Minister has approved that. CPR asked us to revise ACMM TOR and we

have look through the our TOR and see it on article 12 of TOR say that shall be formally review

after 4 years after or will be determine by BODs. The revision process of TOR of ACMM first

according to the BODs has to approve the revision of TOR after that ACMM will send the letter to

ADSOM WG leader and will be discuss in ADSOM WG and then in ADSOM and to ADMM

respectively. We would like to propose to the BOD for revision our TOR (slide show TOR and text

need to revise) in the report of the 12th ADMM they will designated us to be sub sectoral body

under the ADMM Sectoral Ministerial Body in Annex 1 so we copy that text and change. (see

attached)

MG Pramote : We request the BODs to consider this issue if BODs agree we will sent the letter

to ADSOM WG to review and correct the TOR.

LTC Soh : I think this is the major step forward for ACMM, Thanks Secretariat for good work

done Singapore is supportive.

1st Admiral Arie : I am agree. You can give the proposal to process according the schedule that

you have made.

BG Chhun : I agree to summit to the ADSOM WG.

LTC Ibuna : I am agree, This is good for ACMM.

Chairman : Thailand also agree.

93

Sr.COL Titisak : The ADSOM WG will be organized next month I am afraid that if we wait for one

month it will be not in time. May I request that Coordination Section text it in group what’s app if there is no objection may I request you to authorize our Secretariat Chief to send the letter to

ADSOM WG.

LTC Soh : I am OK

1st Admiral Arie : OK

BG Chhun : OK

LTC Ibuna : I am OK.

MG Pramote : Is there any AOM from any member

Yangon and also invited us to present representative to join that and also invite ACMM to send

some papers but, SC considered that ACMM should do it in ASEAN way and we don’t have enough time to send the letter to 10 countries for their work to present so we will not send the

presentation in the Academic Session but we will join the FPC and AMMC and for next year if we

have time we will launch the letter to 10 countries if you have some paper to present ACMM can

fund them too.

4.1 CPX, FTX MEDEx 2019 at Lucknow, India on March 8 -18 , 2019

MG Pramote: In the CPX, ACMM had participate in 2 points; first, set up the ACMM Head

Quarter in CPX consist of GP CAPT Sudjai and Me and also have the member from 18 countries

to act like LO to support the details about the medical facilities and Medical details to the

National Focal under SASOP.

FTX, there is short cut from Step 1 to Step 6. The things that happened in the field

is Step 7 and Step 8 under SASOP when we can see Medical team working together that Step 7

and Step 8. In real world situation have to pass Step 1 to Step 6 before go to Step 7. In the CPX,

ACMM joined CPX Step 1 to Step 6.

100

MG Pramote: This Diagram show the concept of working. The Host country set up the

Emergency Operation Center and normally the planning will assess the need and the

requirement include the Medical issues. The requirement compare with the Local Facilities, if

they exceed the Local Facilities they will request for the External Support. And the Local Team

will check in with the Operation Center to work but the External support have to pass step by

step under SASOP before deploy to the site and work, before check in to Operation section. So,

in the red one the Step that we conducted in the CPX before they can actually work in the field.

This Table shown the ACMM LOs was well train can use the material and details that have

prepare in the normal time to facilitate process of Coordination and in this Exercise we have

demonstrate that can facilitate the process more rapidly.

101

In this Diagram show the Exercise Control Group and actually work like this; the

ACMM LOs support the details of Medical Facilities to the National Focal Point and they can

compete the Coordination process effectively. The first 4 Steps is on the CPX and Step 5 and Step 6

is the experience that Singapore and Myanmar have deployed their team make an real

experience in the Exercise when departure from their countries. The Step 7 and Step 8 are

conduct the activities in the field and Step 9 Singapore and Myanmar had experience to deploy

the force to the exercise in Lucknow.

My conclude this year will have ACMM LOs training on our roadmap and after the

LOs was well train the LOs will be ready to act in the real world situation as a stand by officer for

Coordination, that’s all we have from exercise and related to our road map. COL Zaw and 1st

ADMIRAL Arie, do you have anything to share?

COL Zaw: I would like to summarize FTX MEDEx 2019 in Lucknow start from 9 – 16 March 2019.

102

Agenda 4 Matters for consideration;

4.1 Synchronized Militaries of ASEAN Reporting Tools for Infectious and

Environmental Surveillance ( SMARTIES) : Infectious SMEE 2019

GP CAPT Sudjai: IPC Synchronizes Militaries of ASEAN Reporting Tools for Infectious and

Environmental Surveillance (SMARTIES): Infectious SMEE 2019 support by US Pacific Airforce

(USPACARF) The Proposal develop unify process among the ASEAN Member States military for

across border sharing of the Health Civilian Data mean to Prevent and contain developing

infectious and Environmental Hazard by 8 Experts SMARTY presented in Academic Section on

the 1st day 19 March. The Participants from RTAF, ACMM, AFRIMS, Health Ministry, Miancom

Brothers Basil, John Hopkins University, US NAVY Medical Research and US epiduology

Consultance and USPACARF. The 1st day have Academic section from 8 Expert epidualogist

and they will have to planning the meeting for SMARTY Doctrine Working Group that will be hold

on May at ACMM and next Step plan to SMARTY Table Top Exercise will hold on August 2019.

MG Pramote: I have shared Idea to collect the Data from the Military Area is very Sensitive and

have to very careful about that. So, I shared The Idea that for Control the Emerging Infectious

Disease if we have Knowledge and Experience we can share this together. If want to work

together Interoperability can plan it together call a Joint Plan but for Surveillance System have to

be very careful about collect the Data from every members to only one Center. The Option one is

the Orange Area, I am not agree in that. So, I propose to the meeting that we can share the

experience together and we can plan together but for conduct the activities for Surveillance and

for Response Emerging Infectious Disease can we do it on each area of responsibility. We can

join the same Protocol, Definition and Criteria but we will not happy to share the information of

our area to another. That is the Idea that I had propose to the team and they will go back to draft

it again. At first they designed to have the system that collect information from every country to

one center point and use together. I think it is very danger for the Military information. That’s all

we have in our concept development conference. If they agree with the concept on option 2, on

the Green Area we will go on with the Proposal for conduct of the joint plan or conduct of the

Training for the Personnel to put the Input to the system.

1st ADMIRAL Arie: I have no comment, Thank you.

LTC Soh: Infectious Disease across our border so sharing is something we should do and also

aware that with some Activities. So, Idea that we should have Standardize template what to put

inside something each country have to be comfortable themselves with.

103

MG Pramote: That is my point, we can have same Standard, Definition and Criteria. But we can

do it in our own Area and we can share it only some Positive Finding that necessary to work

together.

COL Zaw: As myself Epidemiologist I do have keen interest in ……..especially in ASEAN region.

We still have the sub issues like…..Influenza, Appertize……that beyond need

Cooperation……ASEAN correctly……collection something we have to……..almost…… So, we

have to be careful why starting the platform, How we share connection and knowledge. Have

comment share knowledge………….each start Collaboration………..all of the team to control

mechanism…….This issue should be put in the physical BODs Meeting in Thailand because we

do believe…………to put this issue to the one main issues to discussion.

MG Pramote: Thank you very much. We will put this in the Physical BODs Meeting this year. And

I would like to inform you that the ACMM have Continuous work on this Area for many year. Have

Conduct SMEE Infectious Disease since 2015 – 2017. This is the only 1st Step only knowledge

and experience that all the country share together. We have discuss that can go to further Step

to plan together, Do workshop and Set up our Joint Plan and the next step is to share the

Information. And maybe we can draft the proposal for conduct the work shop for joint planning in

the Future. I conclude that the Meeting agrees to discuss this topic in the next Physical BODs

Meeting.

Agenda 5. AOM (propose by members)

5.1 EWG on HADR, Hawaii 19th– 21

st March 2019

MG Pramote: We just receive Invitation to join EWG on HADR to join their Final Planning

Conference (FPC) in Hawaii. We did not have any details yet because they have question what is

the role of ACMM in HADR situation. We already demonstrate EWG on MM Exercise in Lucknow

but in Lucknow was the stand alone EWG on MM so EWG on HADR did not know about this. If I

have more details about this will circulate by the What’s app but until now we just to know the

date of the Meeting. For my Idea we better go to the CPX in Exercise at the end. It will be more

effective.

LTC Soh: I have a bit to say because we have no details but I do agree to joining the Exercise

than Planning Conference.

104

MG Pramote: I will inform EWG on HADR we better not go to the Final Planning Conference but if

BODs have more details about this may be BODs consider to join the real CPX Exercise conduct

at the end of the year.

Chairman: I have one question about the SMARTY, Why the US concern about this Army Area?

Because I think the US are Civilian side have many of the data about the infectious of our the

civilians.

MG Pramote: They inform us they have the Data about this in Normal Area but they did not have

the Data in the Border Area. The Border Area may be the Gap of their system. But I have told

them the information and every issue is very sensitive. So, maybe we have to really careful to

report the data about this Area.

AGENDA 6 Closing Remarks

MG Pramote: The next VTC BODs Meeting is 16 May 2019 time 1400 hrs and the Physical

Meeting is in July. Chairman please gives the Closing remarks.

Authorize to this research. Because of in the Physical Meeting we have to agree or not agree

about this and need to see you again on Thursday 16 may 1400 PM. but at that time the real

MG Pramote : Greeting all BODs and asked for permission from BODs to request LTC Soh Teck

Hwee, Singapore’s BOD to be Chairman for this VTC Meeting.

The Meeting : Agreed

LTC Soh : Welcome all members for attending the meeting and requested MG Pramote,

Secretariat Chief ACMM to proceed.

Agenda 2 Approval of Minute of BOD VTC meeting (21 March 2019 : 1400 pm)

MG Pramote : previewed minute of BOD Annual Meeting, Chiang Mai province in July page by

page for approval

106

COL Hafizul : Regarding involvement in the CT exercise in China, I did mention that why are we

involved with the other subject matter which does not concern us. I did mention that I reserved my

comment on this issue. Do we approve to be involved with CT?

LTC Soh : I do recall that we deliberated about this quite specifically, not in the last physically

BODs meeting but, in the previous BODs VTC meeting. Before this collaboration was placed, I

need to refer to previous minute that we discussed similarly to this that ACMM activities should

focus on our own concept of establishment prior to this involvement in CT. And it was agreed that

our participation in EWG CT would not be fully support, rather participate only for observation and

see what’s going on. That was as I recalled the sequence of events and it need to be corrected by

the other members.

COL Zaw : Yes, we agreed like that in the 3rd BOD Meeting.

BG Chhun : Yes

LTC Soh : The agreement in the event of ACMM involvement in this CT exercise is that ACMM will

not send team to help but, will send representative to observe. ACMM will not be actively part

taking in this exercise and this is also something that all BODs concerned about.

MG Pramote: I will put in minute of this VTC Meeting that BOD’s Brunei does concern about the

involvement of the ACMM in the CT Operation. ACMM will not be actively involved in CT operation.

From ACMM initial concept, ACMM will not involve in Command and Control of any medical unit,

ACMM is only involve in coordination process or give some advices about military medicine. May

be ACMM can practice ACMM SOP on CT in the CT Exercise.

COL Hafizul : Can I add one more statement that ACMM should go back to basic and should

focus on our vision and mission. It does not say that ACMM should go to CT activity. ACMM should

focus more toward supporting Medical Support in area of MOTW either in peace time to disaster

time. I do not want ACMM to be derailing from its main core mission. That is my concern.

MG Pramote: Yes. I will put your comment in the minute as well but, I would like to inform you that,

since the beginning from the Concept Paper of Establishment of ACMM which was approved by

ADMM, it states that ACMM will focus on Military Medicine Activities among ASEAN Member

State. ACMM will support all areas of cooperation under ADMM and ADMM-Plus framework.

Refer to this statement there are many activities already exist such as HADR, Marine time

Security, PKO and CT. So this CT is one of those areas of cooperation. ACMM is the platform of

107

working together to strengthen Military Medicine readiness of the AMS. ACMM will collect data

and information of Military Medicine since in normal time to be ready to use in coordination

process when disaster happened. ACMM will not involve in Command and Control of any unit

because it belong to their respective countries.

1st ADMIRAL Arie : I agree in our main proposed is Military Medicine but, we cannot isolate in

only EWG MM because now we are under ADMM. So, I am agreed with Secretariat.

LTC Soh : Are there any more comment on the minute ?

BG Chhun : No amendment sir

The Meeting : Approved with correction


3.1 ACMM 2019 Funding Contribution

MG Pramote : I would like to update information until now contribution fund from 7 countries;

BG Chhun : Sorry for late contribution of this year, now Cambodia is on processing and maybe by

mid of October contribution fund will be transferred to ACMM.

MG Pramote : Vietnam is also on transferring process of 2 years contribution funds; 2018 and

3.2 Report of ADMM-Plus EWG on HADR (STAFFEX/COMMEX)during 30 July -

1 August 2019

MG Pramote: I would like to convey my thanks to Malaysia Arm Forces and Indonesia Arm

Forces for giving permission to LOs to join this exercise as ACMM Coordination Officer. It was

very successful.

108

110

to exchange knowledge, experience, surveillance guideline or system for prevention and disease

control.

ii) All of the delegate seek the guideline and determine to establish Co - Surveillance

system for prevention control especially when The WHO declared as PHEIC (Public Health

Emergency International Concern)

1st Admiral Arie : That was good and I hope next year will have the same.

3.4 Report SOP for EMT during 19- 20 August 2019, AHA center

LTC Kanokkarn : On 29 July 2019 , The AHA Center invited the ACMM to discuss on enhancement of

Centre office, Jakarta, Indonesia during 19 – 20 August 2019;

Participants were :

i) ARCH Project, Thailand

and Vietnam, and with the support from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The

EMT SOP aims to ensure the quality and consistency of EMT operations in affected country, and

to complement the operating procedures and protocols developed by the international

community, the EAST Asia region and ASEAN region, and also component as part of ASEAN

SASOP.

The Meeting also focused on roles and proposed mechanism under the Plan of

Action of ARCH project. The output of the coordination meeting is the plan of activities to test the

draft of EMT SOP at TTx during 29 – 30 October 2019, Jakarta, Indonesia and at The ASEAN

Regional Disaster Emergency Response Simulation Exercise (ARDEX) 2020, Philippines.

111

LTC Soh : Just checked the old SOP for AMMAT team as well. Is this in line with the expectation

of AHA Center?

MG Pramote : The optimum goal of AHA Center is to add specific chapter about Medical

Support in SASOP. After chapter 6 which focus on Military Support to the Civilian the following

Chapter 7 will focus on medical support and set up the standard for Medical Support in HADR

Situation in ASEAN. So it was a good opportunity for ACMM to join this activity for checkup our

standard too. To the question from LTC Soh about M-MERT team, AMMAT team and SMOT team

standard they are related to standard under the ARCH project, it will be good for ACMM to

correspond with AHA Center.

MG Pramote : I would like to inform that the TWG CIMIC is another platform that join ASEAN

3.6 Report of ADMM-EWG on CT; TTX CT during 1-7 September 2019

GP CAPT Sudjai : ADMM-Plus EWG On CT meeting was held during 1- 7 September 2019 in

Chonburi, Thailand. The TTX on CT was at the Center for Strategic Study, Royal Thai Armed

Forces, Chonburi, Thailand. The Demonstration and Closing ceremony will be at Special Warfare

School in Lopburi, Thailand. The Meeting was chaired by LT GEN Chatchai Patranavik,

representative Co-Chair Thailand and LT GEN Liu Ya Yong, representative Co-Chair China.

Attending delegates were from ASEAN and Plus Countries.

Objectives

1. To promote and enhance cooperation on CT in urban area.

112

2. To test the CTTF SOPs urban CT Operational Planning

Representatives from ACMM presented ACMM tasks force and activities.

This slide showed ACMM guideline for CT with ASEAN SEC.

There was accepted that role of ACMM will be coordinated in Multinational Military

Corporation Center (MNMCC). ACMM Liaison and Coordination Structure of FTX CT when

.

113

This slide shows that ACMM had discuss the role of ACMM activity with ASEAN Sec. The

ASEAN Sec agreed that ACMM will function in the Military Multinational Coordination Center

(MNMCC) and suggested that the Medical Support should be the Medical team in Operation

unit. ACMM plan to send LO to coordinate at AMNCC in the CPx and FTx in November.

MG Pramote : In addition this TTX on CT was prepared all participants to be ready for the CPX

and FTX in China by the end of this year. The concept of Medical support in this Exercise is

similar to the Military Medical Support on HADR. As ACMM role in normal time that we prepare

Medical readiness for Medical unit of each Country and when disaster happened we will send

representatives to join in the Head Quarter (HQ) or the Coordination Center to give advice or

provide information or data about Military Medicine to the HQ about our role. All of this is include

in our SOP and we will practice this in the coming Exercise. Most of the things is Similar to HADR

but, the team and technic may be some different. Is there any comment from BODs?

COL Zaw : ACMM requested me to allow Myanmar LO to be ACMM representative to join CPX

and FTX this November in China. We would like to have the Draft Program of the FTX so that we

for can arrange the traveling and permission from our superior for CAPT Win Htut.

MG Pramote : Thank you, ACMM already requested from Working Group (WG) and they will

send it to ACMM as soon as possible.

LTC Soh : As we are deliberated about this involvement in CT earlier. This is the last activity for

this EWG CT cycle and we have already agreed to part take in the exercise. After having part

taken at the HQ Level we want to take it back and refine our role in CT. Before, we do not know

where to put ourselves into but, after joining the exercise we should know whether we want to

further involve in CT for the next cycle. Would that be agreeable for BODs?

COL Zaw : Myanmar agree

BG Chunn : I am agree

COL Hafizul : I am agree.

The Meeting : Agreed

LTC Soh : I would like to summarize again that the mandate of ACMM is MM on HADR and

MOTW. CT is a new area. It is not fair to say that we not take park but we send representative to

TTx and FTX to observe. From there we take insight and in the next Psychical Meeting we should

discuss what should ACMM role in CT actually be.

MG Pramote : Thanks for you guidance after we join the exercise will have more information and

idea to shape up our role in the MM for CT Operation.

114

Agenda 4 Matters of consideration;

4.1 AMMAT 2019 on 25-29 November 2019, Thailand

MG Pramote : AMMAT training is on our Year Plan and continue from last year that ACMM had

conducted already with Instructor from Australia which focus on the basic. This year will continue

to train participants for more detail to be the instructor for their own countries. ACMM plan to

invite 4 participants, one is the LO from each country. LO have basic knowledge about

coordination process and will be one who get the Information from assessment team to utilize in

the Coordination Process. ACMM plans to conduct the course during 25 – 29 November in

Prachinburi province, 150 km, East of Bangkok. ACMM will support all expenses, airfare,

accommodations, meals and local transportation. Any comments or suggestion about this

course, please.

COL Zaw : No comment, we all agreed.

BG Chhun: Yes, we do agree, sir.

1st Admiral Arie : May I ask about this AMMAT because we have workshop about EMT before.

Regarding attendance 4 persons; 1 LO and another 3, maybe I will send some from the Medical

Battalion from Indonesia because they are the 1st responder to any disaster in Indonesia. Beside

LO do you have any specific personnel to come, doctor, nurse or another Medical Officer.

MG Pramote : We do not need doctor or nurse. Medical planner or anyone who can be

deployed to the area and can assess area of disaster about medical need and send message

back anyone who is the 1st responder in case of the disaster. In the future most of this team will

join with the ERAT because the ERAT will be the first responder for that area.

4.2 The 11thEWG on MM Meeting and Handover Ceremony during 6-10 October

2019, Myanmar.

MG Pramote : ACMM was invited by the EWG on MM, Myanmar to join the Handover Ceremony

in Naypyidaw during 6 – 10 November and I would like to request for the permission from BODs

for 1 representative from ACMM for this event. There will be some discussions about the

activities of the new Co-Chairs and role of ACMM to support their activity too. May I request

BODs to consider about this.

115

1st Admiral Arie : I am agree and I suggest that if BOD can go himself please go because this

turnover and there will be a meeting of board of ACMM.

LTC Soh : Earlier in the minutes and in our physical meeting in July, we agreed that we would be

discussing at this VTC about the hosting of AMMC as well as Handover by Brunei and Australia

regarding the supporting of EWG MM activity next year. I don’t know if it applicable to discuss now while a lot of the ACMM BODs are also concurrent representative on EWG as well, for some

countries like Singapore is not the same person but, nevertheless the stand should have no

differ because you are representing your Armed Forces. Do we want to take the opportunity now

to say that we take the debate over to the EWG or we want to empower the representative from

the ACMM to make the decision on behalf of the ACMM at the EWG.

COL Zaw : I would like to add something regarding forth coming on EWG Meeting. We have

already sent to proper channel for all invitation the ADMM-Plus countries, ACMM and ASEAN

Secretariat office. The Meeting will take place at Naypyidaw at M-Gallery by Sofitel where the 9th

EWG Meeting was convened. I wish all the BODs to join. At the 11th EWG Meeting would be the

Ceremony of 4th Cycle Co-Chairs Brunei and Australia. I would like to share to all BODs that

EWG on MM Myanmar has prepared document inform of Hard copy, Video and CD for the new

Co-Chairs. This document would help Brunei and Australia to conduct smoothly for the forth

coming Cycle activities. The second thing, we discuss about the ASEAN Military Medical

Conference (AMMC) when we met physically in Chiang Mai that the ADMM already endorse the

concept paper of AMMC. MG Pramote mentioned that he will do his best to make it feasibility

study whether it can be hosted in Thailand either by ACMM or hosting by the Thai MOD and we

will discuss in this VTC meeting. I would like some comments from BODs regarding the AMMC.

MG Pramote : There is a good news for all BODs regarding AMMC that next year Vietnam

maybe volunteer to host the 3rd

AMMC. As we discuss earlier that hosting for AMMC will be on

voluntary basis and ACMM will fully support to conduct the conference in term of coordination or

any needed. Even if some year BODs agree that ACMM should host AMMC and get budget

approval then ACMM will host one.

The Meeting : Agree

COL Zaw : We all have to congratulation to Vietnam to host AMMC. Although the 1st conference

endorsed by ADMM, the great honor to Vietnam. Thank you.

116

LTC Soh : May I summarize that pending for the confirmation and will be deliberated at EWG

Meeting itself. We can tentatively take that at least next year is solved as Vietnam volunteer to do

it. However it does not change the fact that ACMM may have to host once at a time so BODs still

need to acknowledge about the cost of conducting AMMC and the limitation of ACMM. Even MG

Pramote has said that he was more than happy to do it so may I request ACMM to have a

feasibility study on hosting AMMC and present the cost and manpower to BOD. Is that

agreeable?

COL Hafizul : I think the cost of hosting the AMMC was already been submitted by COL Zaw. The

cost was about 46,000 USD.

COL Zaw : Yes, that’s right. In the coming year if Brunei and Australia are willing to host one, I will very

happy to cooperate.

LTC Soh : So we do have costing, then we still need to discuss whether ACMM want to spend

the money. May I propose this item for discussion in our physical BODs Meeting next year?

COL Zaw : That is fine

LTC Soh : Col Hafizul, for the topic regarding the ACMM involvement base on the propose work

plan of EWG MM next year do we want more discussion during this VTC or we take it to the EWG

COL Hafizul : I think I already presented the initial work plan to ACMMC meeting and in

Cambodia and in the last BODs Meeting in Chiang Mai recently so no need to deliberated it

twice. Everybody has seen the work plan as well so no need to repeat it. Technically there is the

part that we required that ACMM to be part of the work plan. If ACMM is willing to participate, I

do not mind them coming over for the Handover Ceremony. I do not mind supporting them. If

they are not then I will not say yes for them to come over to the Ceremony.

LTC Soh : I think this is quite difficult to determine because I would say may be we need a vote

for I am fully support ACMM to go to EWG MM handover Ceremony.

1st Admiral Arie : Is there Brunei become host of the Handover Ceremony of ADMM EWG on MM

in Brunei?

COL Zaw : No, Handover are taking place in Naypyidaw and I already provided invitation in a

proper channel and I look forward to seeing all of you.

117

COL Hafizul : The question now is whether we want to pay for ACMM to come over to

Naypyidaw to be witness the Ceremony of the Handing over. So, I need a vote from BODs

whether we want to invite representative from ACMM to be there.

COL Zaw : We have already invited the ACMM to attend the ceremony. Whether BODs to vote

agree or not to send ACMM representative to the Handover Ceremony?

COL Hafizul : My argument with BOD, if ACMM is not willing support us on our initiative why

should they be there? That is my personal It is up to ACMM should actually be responsive to our

initiative as well rather than we involve with CT. This is part of MM that Australia and Brunei

actually wanting to do. I assume that you should bring ACMM to support us.

MG Pramote : If this question is to me the issue is ACMM was invited by previous EWG Co-

Chairs Myanmar and India to join Ceremony. Now I request consideration of the BODs whether

allow me to go or not?

COL Hafizul : It is on the funding of ACMM right ?

MG Pramote : If BODs say no I will not go, that’s all. COL Hafizul : Will ACMM support us on initiative plan ? If ACMM will not support us then there is

no point for ACMM to be there.

MG Pramote: This is up to decision of the BODs what the direction of ACMM is. I did not know

the details of your plans. Because last time you just present the 3 year work plan and we have

some discussion about this and there were some maybe beyond our scope. So, if it finally come

what is your plan the BODs will consider it. If BODs consider that ACMM will cooperate or

support I will follow the decision of the BODs.

LTC Soh : At this point I try to recap please correct me if I am wrong. At physical BOD Meeting

in July, regarding EWG MM next Cycle Australia and Brunei initiative plans, one of the request

was for ACMM support in going to keen and to search the area in AMS country to identify

location where the medical is needed and do some other thing like diplomatic clearance and so

on. I think all of us were agreeable in the concept and had a various discussion on feasible idea.

Whether ACMM has capability in terms of staffing and be able to support we suppose to

deliberate further in this VTC Meeting this is my recall. Is it correct?

COL Hafizul : Your summarize is well, I mean since all the LOs are actually in ACMM

coordinating the work that the project we are conducting will be much easier to ACMM because

118

all the LOs will be there. Program will also be easier to ACMM as well that was the reason why

ACMM was possess to work in initiative. Because the ease of coordination as well.

MG Pramote : Mr. Chairman may I request the BODs to consider the invitation letter the EWG on

MM Myanmar and India to join the Handover Ceremony. So, I request you to agree ACMM to use

ACMM funds to join the Meeting. If BODs are not agreed ACMM will not fund for the

representative to go.

MG Pramote : Regarding the support of initiative of the new Co-Chairs ACMM fully support the

initiative but, we have our own roadmap, year plan and we need to know the details of the

program and how can we support it. As ACMM Secretariat Chief I cannot say confirm or not

confirm to support activities from the initiative. If we have all the details, we can shape up the

year plans and present to the BODs. Regarding new Co-Chairs activity as we discussed in our

Physical Meeting in Chiang Mai that new initiative program involved with some areas that maybe

beyond MM scope. For example, the idea of going to use military personnel to support civilian in

normal situation like a public health activity. That is maybe beyond ACMM’s scope.

COL Zaw : As the BOD Myanmar is the member of EWG on MM. We have already sent invitation

to ADMM plus countries and ACMM entirety. During the 3rd

cycle activities we have invited

ACMM and got participation from ACMM to many meetings also to the FTX and Conferences.

Here as a BOD I would like to support inclusion of the ACMM to come to 11th EWG on MM and

Handover Ceremony this is my opinion, Thank you.

BG Chhun : I do agree with Myanmar.

MG Rosman : Malaysia support ACMM to be present during the Handover Ceremony.

1st Admiral : I am also support it.

MAJ Ammala : LAOs also support the ACMM to join the Meeting.

COL Marinela : I am also support attendance of ACMM to join the Handover Ceremony.

LTC Soh : We have lost signal from COL Hafizul. If all the BOD presents are agreeable can I put

it formally on record that the request from Brunei is that ACMM supports its propose initiative for

the next cycle EWG and there is related to whether ACMM attend the handover ceremony and

all the BODs agreeable if ACMM attending the Handover Ceremony and for support for the

subsequence EWG. Can I say that we agree in principle for ACMM support pending the

finalization of the details and feasibility of it. Does anybody object this?

119

LTC Soh : Given the fact that most of the BODs here and unfortunately we lost connection with

the Brunei BOD. Can I suggest that the ACMM through Email sent out of formal Email of this

decision for get return information from Brunei and also from Vietnam as well?

MG Pramote : As the Ceremony will conduct during 6 – 10 October and we need time to get

permission from my commander too.

COL Zaw : Yes I agree

LTC Soh : I agree. So can we say that by the end of this week to get submission of response we

should wait until Friday or we can formally in paper by the group chat so the rest of BODs at

least COL Hafizul can acknowledge that and also BOD Vietnam as well.

MG Pramote : I will put this on email and if we did not get any response by this Friday. ACMM

will conclude that all BODs agree on this.

Agenda 5 AOM (propose by members)

LTC Soh : Is there any members want to propose any matter? If there no have any matter, we

can go to the last item and I need to close the VTC.

Agenda 6 Closing Remarks

LTC Soh : Thank you everybody for joining this VTC, see you all in the next VTC.

3.2 2nd AMMC 2019, Myanmar

MG Pramote : After the FPC there were the follow up conference called ASEAN Military

Medicine Conference(AMMC) which Myanmar Army hosted for the 2nd

time. They said that

conference originated from ASEAN and Myanmar had proposed that, they would like the ADMM

to approve that it would be regular activities in ASEAN under ADMM and they are going to find

the next host for the 3rd

AMMC. In this 2nd

AMMC there were many oral and poster presentations.

It was very good opportunities for young officers and experts to share their experiences.

Normally AMMC should be conduct on February of this year and there will be one year to plan

for another one. So, we are looking for host for the next year one. That is all from 2nd

AMMC. COL

Thitisak, Myanmar did ask me if Thailand can host the 3rd

AMMC ?

COL Titisak : I am not sure yet but, during the next February Thailand will have big exercise like

this year for the King’s Guard. May be we can postpone to another period of year; in February

will be busy for the whole month.

MG Pramote : I think Thailand can host it but, need to adjust timing. The most important is if

Thailand desire to be the host or not. My idea is if BODs agree may be ACMM can put AMMC in

our regular activity but, again it depends on the annual budget. If ACMM can take AMMC turn to

every countries in ASEAN. We will work up on this issue and need approval from BODs first. In

the next VTC with BODs ACMM will put this for discussion and get some idea form the BODs.

COL Titisak : Sir, are there any progress in the ADSOM WG on this topic?

MG Pramote : ADSOM WG did not object the concept paper of this and they will put it in the

ADSOM in April. If the ADSOM approve then they will endorse to the ADMM for adopt it. But still

require more details especially budget and detail of the conference. So, it will have a lot of

following activities after this. Anyway they did not object the concept paper initially.

3.3 Landmine/Extremity Trauma SMEE

MG Pramote : COL Maza would like to report the progression of this project, please.

COL Maza : There is a good news and may be not so good news for HMA; the good news is

that we coordinated with ACMM and also coordinated with EACE for SMEE and not a good news

is that it will not happen in May like we had talked about in physical 1st LOs meeting but, it will

occur in 2nd

- 6thDecember. These days would agree upon between ACMM and EACE after the

LOs meeting because we could not get funding for the May conference. So, the proposal project

is a made it for 2 SMEE; one in December and then base upon the information that we get from

the December meeting we will schedule another one in the following March or April time frame..

131

We would like to work up on funding for all the countries but, not include the separate countries

for Singapore, Myanmar and Brunei.

MG Pramote : Is it possible that the funding will includes that all ASEAN Members State?

COL Maza : In my meaning, I received the budget example from COL Vallop and GP CAPT

Sudjai and I made it this one it does not includes Myanmar, Singapore and Brunei other they

includes all the Countries.

MG Pramote : So, the condition is the same as USA will fund for 7 countries and ACMM will fund

for another 3 left and the time period will be in December. So, this is still good news we will wait

for that. Could you please reveal the specification of attendant who will attend the course?

COL Maza : 3 participants of each country; 2 subject matter expert, doctor who familiar with

Landmine trauma and brain injury. Not necessary brain injury due to Landmine but brain Injury

maybe due to the bomb or some other event so this the primary is for the Landmine victims but,

for those countries that might not consider Landmine victims to be at the high important or occur

that option it’s for all brain injury. Participant should be 2 surgeon medical experts and then one

medical operator. Because medical operator need to be there for the planning phase for

bringing any patient from the field to the primary care or to tertiary care and then if not enough

SMEE or Medical Operator then Liaison Officers can consider go in Himself and Herself but the

Liaison Officers does not have participate in this SMEE.

MG Pramote : Anyone has ant question to ask COL Maza ?

COL Titisak : I think we have solutions for 3 countries that be not funded by the USA. So, the

ASEAN will gain benefit from this SMEE.

MG Pramote : Thank you COL Maza, we will work out on this and make it happen in December.

I think GP CAPT Sudjai has home work for LOs as follow up after exercise from 1st LO Meeting

2019.

GP CAPT Sudjai : The homework is that may I request everyone to fill in and complete the Form

4 and Form 5 and please send back to me via email. I will send an example from India and

Myanmar to everyone, Thank you.

MG Pramote : According to real situation and from our exercise we got detail of facilities from

Myanmar and India. Now we have 3 examples Thailand, Myanmar and India for initial idea. GP

CAPT Sudjai can you circulate this to our members. I would like to request that only restrict to

our team, this information is only for our members. The information you fill in is not official,

voluntary, non-binding, non-commit. It is only initial information for preparing ourselves to be

ready. COL Titisak, can we circulate this kind of data to our members?

132

COL Tiitisak : According to SOP 001 this type of Data tank is confidential and this is sensitive to

circulate, sir. But, I think our LOs is a working group on this, They have right to know but, we

have to find the way to let them know and have example without circulating because it is quiet

sensitive for some countries, sir.

MG Pramote : Yes, may we need to ask for permission from Myanmar and India first. I think we

cannot freely share information but, we can exchange in our LOs group because we are in the

same team. May I request that everyone should not forward this information to anyone else

because our LOs are in the center and we are limited to exchange only with our members

according to SOP 001. You may contact with GP CAPT Sudjai personally for some part that you

need. I would like to emphasize that Form 4 and Form 5 is very useful for our coordination

process. If we are well prepared in normal time it will help us a lot in the critical time.

MAJ Faira : Excuse me Sir, I just got message from the representative from AMRG on HADR.

They will have HADR exercise in July and plan to invite ACMM also. They need to know how to

integrate with ACMM in HADR or can be a meeting somewhere in March?

will plan for joining the exercise and see how ACMM can integrate with AMRG. Do you know the

date of HADR exercise in July?

Emerging Disease. Shared our knowledge experience and plan together. Joined the same

protocol and Definition and Criteria, cannot share the area of the data and 2nd

of suggestion we

designed the system that correct the Information form each country to one Central point and use

experience knowledge which I think it would be good. Anyway I would like to share the

information data of the infectious in our region and keep that. It may be sensitive because the

data is not keeping in the AMS then escape outside the AMS. So I ask GP CAPT Sudjai to send

based on Operation and also Communication Exercise.

MG Pramote: This is the main concept of the conference and they added the AMRG to the

HADR Mechanism of the ASEAN and ACMM also on this chart too. They will test this structure in

the exercise ; CPX and FTX at the end of this year in Malaysia. And the role of ACMM is as the

same as what we have done in workshop many times. In the situation ACMM will request our

3.2 Report 15th ADMM-Plus EWG on HADR and 5

th AMRG on HADR on 30

th July -

4th August 2019, Sarawak, Malaysia.

LTC Faira : The Meeting was back to back 5th AMRG on HADR and 15

thADMM plus EWG on

HADR to finalize the draft SOP of AMRG on HADR based on the AAR of the ADMM-Plus EWG on

HADR Exercise which was held on last July / Aug 2019. After AAR 50% of participants knew the

roles of ACMM and for the AMRG on HADR had 3 issues related to ACMM were highlighted as

following.

1. Duplication of Roles and Responsibilities and Coordination Mechanism between

AHA Center, ACMM, ASEAN MNCC and AMRG on HADR including AMRG on HADR; The Meeting

agreed no amendment in the SOP is requires, but the following recommendations can be

considered by any exercise organizer and future co-chairs on how to enhance competency of

AMS’s participants in understanding the coordination mechanism in the SOP.

- Active Participants and engagements in Bilateral/Multilateral HADR Exercise.

- More ASEAN/Plus/Multi - National Exercise.

- Suggest for next ERG Co – Chair to look at the timeline for ARDEX - 20 and

RCG calendar and see if we can involve the Military.

2. Too many SOP for Military, AMRG and ACMM SOPs can be part of SASOP

Chapter 6 as ANNEX; The Meeting noted that the SOP AMRG on HADR to go through the

required process to be included in/referenced to SASOP in future, Noted the outcomes of the

10th TWG-CIMIC, the MNCC SOPs will be referenced to, instead of being annexed to SASOP.

Add a purpose statement in the SOP explaining why there is an AMRG on

HADR and its benefits; The purpose of AMRG on HADR is made mentioned in the preface. In

addition to that, The Meeting agreed to remove the second last sentence in paragraph four of

preface as AMRG is not a preventive mechanism before crisis.

3. ACMM SOP is not clear; The Meeting recommends ACMM SOP (ANNEX D) to

be revised to include request from Affected State through the MNCC and to further socialize

ACMM SOP and Activities under the relevant ADMM plus EWG as well as AHA Center.

163

The 15th ADMM-Plus EWG on HADR, Malaysia and USA are Co-Chairs 2017-

2020 (ADMM – Plus EWG on HADR Milestone)

1. Operationalising AMRG on HADR

2. Integration of ADMM-Plus HADR into broader ASEAN Disaster Relief & Emergency

Response.

(a) Enhanced military – military coordination

(b) Established civil – military coordination and

(c) Tested AMRG, MNCC & ACMM SOPs.

(2011 – 2014 Vietnam – China and 2014 – 2017 LAO PDR and Japan are Established Military –

Military Coordination, Developed SOP on MNCC)

The Achievements

(i) Terms of Reference - TOR for Mil Rep at the AHA Centre

(ii) Standard Operating Procedure - SOP AMRG on HADR

(iii) Meetings – 6th ADMM-Plus EWG and 5

th AMRG on HADR (Workshops & Meetings)

(iv) Planning Conferences (IPC 2018, MPC 2018, FPC 2019)

(v) Exercises (TTX 2018, HADR Ex2019)

Recommendations

- ADMM to consider the AMRG at Initial Operating Capacity (IOC) and employ it in

future AMS HADR incidents.

- Further operationalize the AMRG through training, exercising, and employment of

the AMRG in real world HADR incidents.

- ASEAN to continuously review and refine the ACMM, MNCC and AMRG on HADR

SOPs via ad hoc working groups when needed.

- Continue to include pertinent civilian stakeholders in ADMM-Plus EWG on HADR

activities, including, but not limited to, the AHA Centre, IFRC, and UNOCHA.

- Encourage AMS to establish specific HADR baseline training requirements at

national level and to actively participate in ASEAN HADR training programs.

- ADMM recommends to the appropriate AMS Ministries to continue efforts to

simplify country clearances.

- ADMM recommends the AHA Centre consider updating SASOP to include

information regarding country clearances.

- Recommend AMRG on HADR SOP to be referenced/ annexed to SASOP in future.

164

- To continue socialising ACMM and MNCC SOPs.

- ASEAN may develop own system. AHA Centre suggests using the WEBEOC and

DMRS for ASEAN as a common system for future exercises.

** Recommend the future co-chairs to incorporate these recommendations into the

4th cycle activities, and help AMRG on HADR to reach Full Operational Capability **

MG Pramote : I will revise ACMM SOP on HADR more clearer in the future but, actually we follow

the SASOP that is the main SOP for HADR in ASEAN.
