USPACOM conducts DSCA in Hawaii, Guam, and American Samoa, and the U.S. territories within its AOR. USPACOM conducts DSCA through assigned Service components and designated functional components. Depending on the disaster response, USPACOM will activate a task force (TF); either TF East (Hawaii), TF West (Guam), and/or a TF Homeland (when one or more task forces are activated). There are two USPACOM Defense Coordinating Officers (DCO), DCO-East for Hawaii and DCO-West for Guam. When USPACOM executes DSCA plans, DCO-East becomes operational control to USPACOM Joint Operations Center. USPACOM can also activate a joint task force (Joint Task Force-Homeland Defense) to perform DSCA and homeland defense missions.
