AFI 10-2519 — Public Health Emergencies and Incidents of Public Health Concern

What this publication covers

This Instruction provides guidance on emergency health powers, further delineates roles and responsibilities, summarizes disease containment planning and response for a public health emergency or incident of public health concern, outlines available medical countermeasures and the appropriate process for acquisition/use of the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS), and includes specific guidance for the Air National Guard (ANG) and Air Force Reserve.

This Instruction applies to all installations, including those with Limited Readiness Capability, activities under Air Force command, and geographically-separated units (GSU) (hereafter referred to collectively as “installations”). ANG units will follow the guidelines outlined in Chapter 6. The term “commanders,” as used in this Instruction, refers to commanders at the installation and wing (for AFR) level unless specifically stated otherwise. For stand-alone Air Force Reserve (AFR) ins tallations, the Bioenvironmental Engineering (BE)/Public Health Office (PHO) is the local equivalent to a Regular Air Force MTF’s Public Health Flight (see Chapter 7). 6 AFI10-2519 10 DECEMBER 2019
