Book excerpt: The establishment of the Department of Homeland Security and the United States Northern Command has created new organizations to assist in homeland security, but neither has fully integrated the National Guard into it planning or fully assessed its capabilities. This monograph will evaluate the National Guard's possible integration in the context of the Department of Defense's contribution to homeland security: military missions overseas, homeland defense, and support to civil authorities. The evaluation will include the National Guard's unique legal capabilities in the military, its organization and relationship to the local populace, and its historical use in homeland security and as a reserve component of the military. The conclusion is that the National Guard's history, legal capabilities, and inherent ties with the local and state communities and government poise the National Guard to be the country's primary homeland security force. In order to enhance its capabilities, the National Guard Bureau must be integrated into both the United States Northern Command and the Department of Homeland Security and planning considerations must be discussed with governors and state National Guard officials, unity of command and unity of effort must be deconflicted during homeland operations, and mobilized National Guard units operating within the United States must not be federalized in order to ensure that it can still perform law enforcement operations while mobilized.

This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part I of the 2014-2015 Army War College's Key Strategic Issues List (KSIL)-Army Priorities for Strategic Analysis-asks: "Given the growing importance of homeland defense, what would be the benefits and drawbacks of realigning the [National] Guard under the department of Homeland Security to enhance domestic security and disaster response, while retaining utility for overseas missions in support of the Department of Defense?" (pg. 10). This monograph details our efforts to research and evaluate the perceived benefits and drawbacks of realigning the National Guard under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). We begin with a brief review of the relevant literature shaping the current policy and doctrinal approach to military civil support (CS) operations, including a summary of laws and strategic guidance relevant to the discussion. We then note the important distinctions between homeland security (HS) and homeland defense (HD) and the military role in each context. The seam between HS and HD provides a conceptual basis for discussing the roles and responsibilities of the National Guard, the DHS, and the Department of Defense (DoD) within domestic security and disaster response operations. After evaluating the National Guard's role in each of the above contexts, we briefly discuss the realignment of the United States Coast Guard (USCG) within the DHS as a proxy for comparison of a similar realignment of a military-style entity under the DHS. The study concludes by listing and discussing the potential benefits and drawbacks of a National Guard realignment under the DHS and then makes five short recommendations in summary of the research effort.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to the terrorist attacks on the homeland of the United States the focus of the National Security Strategy has shifted fundamentally. The Bush administration is leading a worldwide effort to combat terrorism and protect United States citizens at home and abroad. This campaign places new and significant challenges at the doorstep of the Department of Defense. Using unclassified resources this research project will review and access how the Department of Defense can best utilize the abilities and resources of the National Guard in these efforts. There is a role to be played in Homeland Security by the National Guard. That role must be clearly articulated in terms of tasks that support the civilian agencies that truly bear responsibility for the security of the homeland against terrorist attacks. The SRP will focus on ways to leverage the unique aspects of the National Guard to assist these agencies in homeland security while trying to achieve a balance of readiness for satisfying the primary war- fighting mission assigned to the National Guard.

Download or read book Homeland Security: Primary Role of the National Guard and the National Security Strategy written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many agencies and organizations have redefined their roles as a result of the terror attacks on September 11, 2001. One organization whose role might change in light of 9/11 is the National Guard of the United States. Some people have suggested that homeland security should become the primary role of the National Guard, while others suggest it should become an agency of the Department of Homeland Security. The current Guard leadership has indicated its intention to restructure the Guard to meet the requirements of both warfighting and homeland security. Current definitions used by both the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Defense (DoD) reinforce the use of the National Guard as the primary reserve for the Army. The contemporary roles and missions of the National Guard under these definitions are in harmony with the vision of the nation's forefathers. The tasks outlined by the DoD and DHS may not support changing the mission of the National Guard to a homeland security force. This paper examines the capabilities, policy, guidance, laws, and regulations that govern the National Guard as well as the mission areas it would have to adopt if it were made an agency of DHS: intelligence and warning, border and transportation security, domestic counterterrorism, protecting critical infrastructure, defending against catastrophic terrorism, and emergency preparedness and response. The author concludes that to prepare and train one organization, the National Guard, to have homeland security as a primary role is not realistic. The National Guard is largely a part-time organization currently trained, resourced, and ready to respond as the reserve of the Army in support of homeland defense and most other missions assigned to the Army. As a supporting agency to federal, state, and local officials the National Guard can certainly be better organized to improve or assist with homeland security, but how to change the guard is currently a debate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis I examine the role of the National Guard in supporting current National Security and National Military Strategy. I argue that the global security environment has changed drastically since the end of the Cold War making "Homeland Security" a primary mission for the military, specifically the National Guard. Concurrently, the unprecedented number of overseas deployments to perform peacekeeping missions has severely affected the active Army's combat capability. I argue that the US Army has not embraced the requirements for "Homeland Security," focusing instead on maintaining its 10 active division force structure. To meet the needs of National Military Strategy, the active Army has instead relied on the reserve components to perform overseas peacekeeping missions. I argue that the National Guard has also looked to performing these missions as a method of institutional survival. Together, both components have undermined the Constitutional underpinnings of the Reserve Component as a strategic reserve, to be mobilized in cases of "war or national emergency." I argue that making "Homeland Security" a primary federal mission of the National Guard, along with restructuring current combat, combat support, and combat service support ratios will allow the National Guard to support National Military Strategy and "Homeland Security."

This book was released on 2002 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since September 11, 2001, Homeland Security is clearly a national priority. Over 40 government agencies have Homeland Security responsibilities. 1 There is considerable debate over the roles and missions of each agency and how best to provide Homeland Security. Additionally, a number of studies have identified shortfalls in Homeland Security in several key areas. This paper uses a matrix of roles and targets to determine the best fit for the National Guard in the far-reaching Homeland Security mission. After reviewing the roles and targets, this paper concludes that the National Guard needs to be involved in Homeland Security in a number of key areas. This paper examines the strengths and uniqueness of the National Guard and concludes that the National Guard is positioned to provide exceptional support to the nation in a number of Homeland Security roles including both domestic civil support and consequence management. These roles neatly match the broad range of National Guard skills and the National Guard's unique surge capability.

Download or read book The National Guard and Its Role in Homeland Security written by M. Tina Hynson and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homeland Security and Homeland Defense in broad terms refers to the prevention, deterrence, preemption of, and defense against, aggression targeted at U.S. territory, population, and infrastructure. More specifically, Homeland Security is a group of diverse missions and functions performed not only to deter, preempt, and defend but to manage the consequence of such aggression. Homeland Defense is one of two major groups of Homeland Security and includes traditional warfighting tasks where the Department of Defense often plays a leading role. Homeland Defense is a basic function of our government, and has been since the colonial era. American colonial leaders, more than 100 years before our Constitution, recognized the need for homeland defense and established colonial militias to fight both internal and external threats. On September 11, 2001, terrorists guided two commercial airliners into the twin World Trade Center Towers in New York City and destroyed both towers and left thousand injured or dead. There was another almost simultaneous attack on the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. but the Pentagon sustained lesser damage. A third attempt missed its still unknown target. Shortly after, President George W. Bush established the Office of Homeland Security. Homeland Security received a great deal of attention in the months prior to the attack, but it took the events of 11 September to focus attention in earnest on homeland defense and civil support missions. With the attention turned to homeland security, the current role of the National Guard as laid out in Title 32 of the United States Code will probably change, similar to recommendations in the Phase III Report of the U.S. Commission on National Strategy in the 21st Century, also known as the Hart-Rudman Commission.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The attack of the United States on September 11, 2001 elevated homeland security to a top priority of our nation. The aftermath of the tragedy has highlighted the importance of well defined roles and responsibilities of all organizations that are responsible for securing the United. States and responding to attacks. The Phase III Report of the United States Commission on National Strategy recommends that the Secretary of Defense, at the President's direction, should make homeland security a primary mission of the National Guard, and the Guard should be organized, properly trained, and adequately equipped to undertake that mission. What should the specific roles and responsibilities of the Army National Guard be in regards to this mission? This paper will answer this question as well as exploring the specific roles of the Governors, State Adjutant Generals, and the Director of the Army National Guard.

Download or read book The Evolving Role of the Army National Guard in Homeland Defense and Civil Support written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tragic events of September 11, 2001 have refocused the United States on the daunting challenge of securing and defending the homeland. The newly created Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is the lead federal agent in this endeavor. Moreover, DHS has developed a National Strategy for Homeland Security (NSHS) that integrates the Armed Forces as the critical military instrument of the overall strategy. To further unify the military effort U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) has been created as a North American combatant command charged with the dual missions of homeland defense and civil support. The Army National Guard as a part of the overall Armed Forces will play a necessary role in homeland defense and civil support. The more pressing questions for the Army National Guard are how much of a role should it play, and how should it, as part of the Army's full-spectrum force meet this new challenge while continuing to fulfill the ever expanding array of missions. This research will build on recent assessments of the Army National Guard's operational role in support of NORTHCOMs missions. It will propose an expanded role in support of homeland defense and civil support, while further realigning a balanced coverage of other critical State and Federal missions.

Guard forces for overseas missions has raised questions about its ability to support civil authorities in the event of a catastrophic incident. This report assesses 2 alternatives for providing funding and authority specifically for the Guard¿s civil support missions. The author determined: (1) the extent to which planning to identify the Guard¿s civil support requirements has been undertaken; (2) the current funding approach for the Guard¿s civil support capabilities and how 3 approaches could be applied to the Guard; (3) guiding principles to consider when developing and implementing funding alternatives; and (4) the extent to which the existing and alternative approaches are consistent with these principles.
