Book Description

This research effort is an attempt by the author to examine the broad area of military support to civil authorities and the potential for a significant demand on Department of Defense (DoD) resources. Since September 11, 2001, our nation has devoted a tremendous amount of effort to place greater emphasis on homeland security. The National Strategy for Homeland Security provides the overarching framework for organizing to secure our homeland. It prescribes various roles for all segments of the nation. It specifies that the DoD contributes through three primary means: military missions overseas, homeland defense, and support to civil authorities. Military support to civil authorities constitutes a very broad area that may place a significant demand on DoD resources and may have a significant impact on DoD's ability to perform its role of homeland defense. In fact, DoD's military support to civil authorities role in support of homeland security has the potential to become a primary mission for DoD in some areas. This gray area between homeland defense and military support to civil authorities require further examination.

Book Description

In 2002, the DoD established the U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) to conduct homeland defense and civil support missions in and around the U.S. NORTHCOM must coordinate with the Nat. Guard Bureau (NGB), because NGB has experience dealing with state and local authorities during incidents and functions as NORTHCOM¿s formal link to the states. This report: determines the extent to which NORTHCOM has ongoing efforts to coordinate with the states and NGB in planning, exercises and other preparedness activities; and identifies the extent to which there are any gaps in this coordination. The author surveyed the state adjutants gen., the highest ranking guardsman in each state, and reviewed interagency coordination plans and guidance.

Book Description

The U.S. capability in conventional warfare is unmatched by any other state for now and the immediate future. However, various types of challenges have arisen that may not threaten the existence of the U.S. but may prove sufficiently challenging to justify serious consideration and planning to mitigate the effect on U.S. interests. In the future, the DoD must anticipate stressing wars. The purpose of this study is to: Review previous and ongoing studies regarding stressing wars; Identify parameters for challenges to military operations (e.g., physical size, population, technological prowess, and denial and deception); Assess capability gaps; and Identify possible solutions, including technological, operational, and policy oriented solutions.

Book Description

To protect the homeland, a plan to form ten regional Civil Support Forces (CSF) made up of National Guard forces has been proposed by senior fellow Christine Wormuth of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). The National Guard (NG), from its very beginning, has been tasked to respond to civil unrest and disasters. This well-established historic mission warrants an expansion to ensure coordinated military support in the event of a catastrophic national disaster or emergency. This Strategy Research Project (SRP) analyzes three courses of action to provide regional NG civil support. It explains how CSFs would be aligned in regions utilizing the Guard's State Joint Force Headquarters (JFHQ). Participation in past civil support events reveals the desirability of a future integrated force. Laws and policies are reviewed for their effect on unity of command when multiple agencies have roles in operations. Finally, way-ahead issues are proposed.
