National Guard Domestic Counterdrug Support to United States Law Enforcement Agencies

Abstract

My research paper will answer the question: Should America's National Guard provide domestic counterdrug support to local state and federal law enforcement agencies and community based organizations in support of United States National Security interests? In addition this paper will analyze Department of Defense (DOD) utilization of the National Guard in counter- drug (CD) operations; including an analysis on the ends ways and means applied by DOD toward accomplishing success in the "War on Drugs." I will examine the legal authority for National Guard domestic CD operations the level of National Guard CD support currently provided to civilian authorities in the "War on Drugs%" and to what extent if any this support should continue.
