How soon must CLEAR engage a host unit before arriving?

The requirement for CLEAR to engage a host unit before arrival is set at 30 days. This timeframe allows adequate planning, coordination, and resource allocation to ensure that all involved parties are prepared for the mission at hand. Engaging with the host unit 30 days in advance facilitates effective communication regarding operational expectations, logistics, and any specific needs that may arise during the engagement.

This lead time is essential for addressing any potential issues that may come up in advance, such as confirming the availability of personnel, equipment, and necessary permissions. Clear engagement at this 30-day mark helps ensure a smooth and efficient operation, maximizing the chances of success for the mission.
