Wraps. Condition: Good. Presumed First Edition, First Printing. ix, [1], 22 pages. Endnotes. Some wear to the cover edges. The Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) is part of the U.S. Army War College and is the strategic level study agent for issues related to national security and military strategy with emphasis on geostrategic analysis. Studies produced by civilian and military analysts concern topics having strategic implications for the Army, the Department of Defense, and the larger national security community. Paraphrased from the Foreword by Douglas C. Lovelace, Jr., SSI's Director: Much of today's defense literature calls for new ways of thinking, ways that appreciate the challenges of a new millennium. Yet, we find surprisingly little that is new in our nation's current strategy, particularly those regarding homeland security. Ideas that helped us achieve victory in the 20th century may only hinder us in an era shaped by the forces of globalization. Lieutenant Colonel Antulio J. Echevarria II and Professor Bert Tussing have examined our National Strategy for Homeland Security (NSHS). Disturbingly, they find that the NSHS fails to address the challenges that globalization poses for the security of the American homeland. The NSHS focuses primarily within the nation's borders and lacks a comprehensive approach to the problem of homeland security, a problem of global proportions. To remedy these deficiencies, the authors propose a Global Defense-in-Depth that employs some of the opportunities afforded by globalization to address its challenges. Antulio J. Echevarria II, an Army lieutenant colonel, is the Director of National Security Affairs at SSI. Bert B. Tussing has been Professor of National Security Affairs for the Center for Strategic Leadership at the U.S. Army War College since October 1999. He served in the United States Marine Corps for 24 years.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 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, be they natural or manmade, comes with authorities and restrictions reflective of an American ethos that will always hold those forces as the servants of the people, never their overseers. Introduction to Homeland Defense and Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA): The U.S. Military's Role to Support and Defend examines the requirements and regulations that guide the utilization of our forces in the domestic environment.Topics include: - The importance of the distinctions between homeland security, homeland defense, and Defense Support of Civil Authorities as they pertain to both authorities and responsibilities - The deliberately subservient position of the military to civil authorities when engaged in response and recovery operations following a disaster - The unique relationship between the United States Navy and the United States Coast Guard in a mutually supportive effort that bridges requirements between defense on the high seas and law enforcement in territorial waters - The air defense mission over the United States, orchestrating manned aircraft, unmanned aircraft, and cruise missiles against threats of the same nature - The exceptional challenges that would be associated with the application of land forces in a defense mission on American soil - The development of the CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear) Enterprise as a function of the nation's focus on preventing, responding to and recovering from a Weapons of Mass Destruction attack - New challenges emerging in the domestic environment that will call for the application of military resources, to include the Arctic, complex catastrophes, and cybersecurity issues. …
