Joint Center for Lessons Learned Quarterly Bulletin. Volume 5, Issue 1, September/December 2002
Abstract
This edition of the Joint Center for Lessons Learned (JCLL) Bulletin is dedicated to examining the complex question of "Authorities" in homeland security. The articles presented here examine topics dealing with the relationship between the use of forces in both Title 10 and Title 32 United States Code (USC) status, particularly in reference to national special security events (NSSE) such as the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah. Some of the issues include the use of these forces in conjunction with law enforcement activities, the restrictions of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, intelligence gathering and sharing, interagency coordination, command and control, and funding. This Bulletin is intended to serve as a reference for commanders and staffs who may be called upon to execute missions in support of homeland defense. In the article, Understanding Authorities in National Special Security Events, Mr. Al Preisser gives an overview of the topics being discussed in the subsequent papers. He provides a definition and background for an NSSE, and then provides a short discussion of the key points from each of the areas presented by the other authors.
