Homeland Security Interagency Support. (Joint Center for Lessons Learned Quarterly Bulletin. Volume 4, Issue 2, March 2002)
Abstract
In this issue of the Bulletin, we continue with the topic of Homeland Security (HLS). Here we look at the inter-agency support to the HLS effort. The first article is on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and their response to terrorism and natural catastrophes within the United States. This article is based upon personal interviews conducted by the author, Ms. Christina Mayes, JCLL Military Analyst, in November 2001. The second article, authored by Mr. Mike Runnals, JCLL Military Analyst, describes the interface between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the DOD. This article is also based upon interviews conducted in November 2001 by the author. In the article, Mr. Runnals provides an inside look at the military/FBI relationship from the perspective of the military liaison officer assigned to the FBI. How To Forecast The Next Wave Of Catastrophic Terrorism, by Dr. Joshua Sinai, PhD, ANSER Corporation, is reprinted from the web based Journal of Homeland Security. In this article, Dr. Sinai describes seven attack indicators that are useful for predicting possible terrorist activity. The article is designed to provoke consideration of a new way of thinking about terrorist plans to attack the United States. The final article is a paper written by three students at the Joint Forces Staff College (JFSC). Titled, Homeland Defense: DOD vs. Civilian Intelligence And Law Enforcement The Obvious Decision, Lt Col Hanna, Lt Col Olbeter, and LCDR Felder discuss the roles and issues of the DOD, the need for unity of effort, and intelligence fusing to draw conclusions on how we need to reorganize nationally to prevent future terrorist attacks.
