3. DEFINITIONS (Department of Defense Joint Publication 3-27) Homeland Defense (HD) Homeland Security (HS) Homeland Defense (HD) is the protection of US sovereignty, territory, domestic population, and critical defense infrastructure against external threats and aggression, or other threats as directed by the President. DOD is responsible for the HD mission, and therefore leads the HD response, with other departments and agencies in support of DOD efforts. HS, as defined in the National Strategy for Homeland Security (NSHS), is a concerted national effort to prevent terrorist acts within the United States, reduce America’s vulnerabilities to terrorism, and minimize the damage and recover from attacks that do occur. HS missions are those typically conducted by federal, state, tribal, and/or local law enforcement, government agencies, and the private sector and include law enforcement missions related to terrorism and other criminal activities, as well.

12. SUMMARY • The ability to successfully support and respond to a U.S. based Homeland Defense • and/or Homeland Security requirement, whether it be a single incident or on going • action is largely a function of: • - Legal Authorities • - Nature of the Incident • - Response time in support of 1st Responders • - Capabilities of supporting forces • - Location of supporting forces • The law may prefer the use of the “Militia” or National Guard for use in activities • supporting Homeland Defense/Homeland Security…. • ….however… • In the final analysis the United States Constitution empowers the Executive • Branch with the responsibility for matters affecting the National Security the United • States. Thus the President, acting as Commander in Chief of the Armed forces • ultimately remains solely responsible for “the common defense” of the Nation.

16. Other Agencies / US Code With respect to “other organizations involved with domestic incident response,” the Department of Defense (DOD) currently coordinates with more than 30 agencies of the federal government. Once state, commonwealth, territorial, tribal, municipal and other local government agencies—as well as private non-profit and for-profit organizations—are included, the potential number and diversity of actors becomes incalculably large. This does not in any way justify a failure to attempt and wherever possible to accomplish prior coordination and preparations, but it does mean that DOD officials involved with domestic incident response should not presume that all the players at the time of the incident will have been part of any pre-incident plan or process.* * Professor James O. Kievit….CSL Issue Paper July 2008 entitled “Reexamining the Role of the Guard and Reserves in Support to Civil Authorities -- Maximizing Access to Service Reserve Elements”
