This operations plan (OPLAN) is entitled Department of Defense Civil Disturbance Plan. Its nickname is GARDEN PLOT. This OPLAN provides guidance and direction for participation by all Department of Defense (DOD) components in civil disturbance operations in support of civil authorities. All parts of this OPLAN are unclassified. 2. In accordance with (IAW) DOD Directive 3025.12, the Secretary of the Army is the DOD Executive Agent for military operations in response to domestic civil disturbances within the fifty states, District of Columbia, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, U.S. ter- ritories and possessions, and any political subdivision thereof. This OPLAN is published under the authority of this executive agency. GARDEN PLOT applies to the military departments, the unified and specified commands, the defense agencies, and other DOD components for planning, coordinating, and executing military operations during domestic civil disturbances. 3. This OPLAN supercedes DA Civil Disturbance Plan dated 1 March 1984. This OPLAN is effective upon publication. All supporting planning documents should be updated IAW with this revised OPLAN within 180 days. 4. Revision of GARDEN PLOT was prompted by the following factors: a. The Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganiza- tion Act of 1986. b. The need to clearly establish a direct line of opera- tional authority for domestic civil disturbance operations. c. Various organizational changes and redesignations among DOD components. d. A general need to clarify and simplify GARDEN PLOT. 5. The proponent for this OPLAN is the Director of Military Support (DOMS). Recommended changes to this plan should be submitted to the following address: Headquarters, Department of the Army ATTN: DAMO-ODS Washington, D.C. 20310-0440 i Whenever possible, recommended changes should be submitted using DA Form 2028, Recommended Changes to Publications and Blank Forms, or a facsimile thereof. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS CONTENTS __PAGE__ Preface................................................. i Table of Contents....................................... iii References.............................................. vi Basic Plan.............................................. 1 Annex A, Task Organization, Forces, and Reaction Times..
