5. 5 Common Operating Picture and the Strategy For Homeland Defense and Civil Support “…….this expanded national security challenge necessitates an unprecedented degree of shared situational awareness among Federal agencies, with state, local, tribal, and private entities, and between the United States and its key foreign partners.” (p. 23) “Homeland defense and civil support are Total Force responsibilities. However, the nation needs to focus particular attention on better using the competencies of National Guard and Reserve Component organizations. The National Guard is particularly well suited for civil support missions.” (p. 35) “…..because the most critical element of successfully defeating threats to the US homeland is shared situational awareness, the Department will focus special attention in this area.” (p. 39)

6. 6 National Defense Authorization Act –FY 2008 Requires the SECDEF: To do “an assessment of the readiness of the National Guard to perform tasks required to support the National Response Plan for support to Civil Authorities” To “ensure that each State Governor has an opportunity to provide to the Secretary an independent evaluation of the State’s National Guard”
