DOD has sole responsibility for PEPFAR-funded HIV/AIDS support to the DAF. DOD does not have agency

presence in the DR, and DHAPP will manage the DOD HIV/AIDS program in the DR behalf of the Office of

the Command Surgeon, United States Southern Command and will provide quality assurance and

supportive supervision for in-country activities. In FY08 DOD plans to hire a LES to provide in-country

management assistance to the DAF for PEPFAR initiatives and to be responsible for providing support and

training to the DAF program management team. This individual will be supervised by DHAPP and will be

positioned within DAF. The program management and staffing requirement includes funding to support

costs incurred for the proposed LES, travel, office infrastructure, communications, supplies, and other

program management requirements. DOD incurs, and will continue to incur, no ICASS or other "cost of

doing business" expenses within the DR.
