The application of our Armed Forces within the states and territories of the United States is far from intuitive. The challenges of defending the country against assaults within the homeland are much more complex than engaging our enemies on foreign soil. Likewise, the introduction of the military‘s appreciable capabilities in response to disasters

Army doctrine publication (ADP) 3-28 is the doctrinal foundation for the Army's contribution to defense support of civil authorities (DSCA). ADP 3-28 explains how the Army conducts DSCA missions and National Guard civil support missions as part of unified land operations. ADP 3-28 focuses on achieving unity of effort among the Army battalions, brigades, division headquarters, and Army Service component commands conducting DSCA with support from the institutional force and in cooperation with joint and interagency partners. (See Introductory Figure, on page viii for the complete ADP 3-28 logic chart.) The principal audience for ADP 3-28 is all members of the Army profession. Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as joint task force headquarters should also refer to applicable joint doctrine concerning the range of military operations and joint forces.

Defense support of civil authorities (DSCA) is support provided by federal military forces, Department of Defense (DOD) civilians, DOD contract personnel, DOD component assets, and National Guard (NG) forces (when the Secretary of Defense [SecDef], in coordination with the governors of the affected states, elects and requests to use those forces in Title 32, United States Code, status or when federalized) in response to requests for assistance from civil authorities for domestic emergencies, law enforcement support, and other domestic activities, or from qualifying entities for special events. DSCA in the US presents a unique challenge based on the history of the country and the interaction of the federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal governments and private and nonprofit organizations. These relationships establish the multiple layers and mutually reinforcing structures throughout the state and territorial governments for interaction based on the US Constitution, as well as on common law and traditional relationships.

Defending U.S. territory and the people of the U.S. is the highest priority of the Dept. of Defense (DoD), and providing appropriate defense support of civil authorities (DSCA) is one of DoD’s primary missions. This Strategy orients DoD towards an increasingly complex strategic environment. It emphasizes innovative approaches, greater integration, deepening of external partnerships, and increased effectiveness and efficiencies in DoD’s homeland activities. The Strategy applies the vital capabilities of the Total Force -- in the Active and Reserve Components -- to make the nation more secure and resilient. Finally, it guides future decisions on homeland defense and civil support issues consistent with the Defense Strategic Guidance and the Quadrennial Defense Review(QDR). Figures.

Chapter I The Homeland and DSCA Operating Environment Chapter I provides a broad overview of how operating in the homeland differs from other areas of responsibility. It explains briefly homeland security, homeland defense, DSCA, and NGCS. The chapter discusses the role of Federal military forces and state NG forces and how they complement each other. It introduces the different authorities (Title 10, and Title 32, U.S.C., and state active duty). The National Incident Management System (NIMS) and National Response Framework (NRF) are summarized. It includes a section on basic command and control (Army mission command) and illustrates dualstatus and parallel command channels. It emphasizes unity of effort even though there may not be unity of command. Chapter II Legal Considerations Associated with DSCA Chapter II highlights the legal considerations associated with DSCA operations, most notably Posse Comitatus, immediate response authority, disaster response under the Stafford Act, Rules for the Use of Force, and Intelligence Oversight rules. The chapter contains examples and vignettes to help illustrate the legal principles. Chapter III General Operational Planning and Execution Chapter III highlights general planning and execution considerations in a DSCA environment such as facility availability, evacuation considerations, and communications. This chapter focuses on factors unique to the DSCA mission set. Chapter IV Commander's Considerations Chapter IV provides DSCA environment-specific planning and execution considerations for military forces.

Multi-Service Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (MTTP) for Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) and Integrating With National Guard Civil Support (NGCS) describes Title 10, United States Code (U.S.C.), military involvement in DSCA as they operate unilaterally or jointly with National Guard (NG) forces in civil support (CS) environments. Military (operating under all authorities) and civilian after-action reports identify the need for expanded joint military and interagency procedures to enhance military and civil interoperability. For DSCA operations to be effective, active, reserve and NG personnel operating under differing military authority should understand the integration of duties and legal limitations as they interact with civilian agencies at the tactical level. Military DSCA domestic emergencies/activities to include all-hazard disaster response operations present unique challenges, working under differing legal authorities and chains of command when coordinating with and working alongside non-Department of Defense, state, local, and tribal agencies. This publication enhances military understanding as Title 10, U.S.C., and Title 32, U.S.C., federal authorities work side-byside in typical DSCA/CS force organizations and outlines some of the challenges impacting military operations.

"The authors advocate the integration of process improvement methods into future Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) operations. They briefly discuss alternative process improvement strategies and their current state of employment in a variety of DoD programs. Methods discussed include Lean Six Sigma, Total Quality Management, and Capability Maturity Models, the utility of such methods is demonstrated, and the value in applying process improvement methods to DSCA operations is articulated. Three recommendations are given to demonstrate how a usable process maturity model can be built and employed for future operations. The monograph concludes by reaffirming the inherent utility of, and advocating for, process improvement techniques as a way to mature future DSCA operations using the dual status commander arrangement"--Publisher's web site.
