Enhancing Domestic Response: The Implementation of the Homeland Response Force

Abstract

The Department of Defense, in collaboration with ten designated States will each establish a Homeland Response Force (HRF). These organizations will be regionally located within the ten Federal Emergency Management Agency regions. National Guard forces from the States within each region will be assigned, equipped, and trained for the ten HRFs. The primary roll of the response force will be reacting to a possible Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, or High-Yield Explosives (CBRNE) event when state and local resources are exhausted. This document will examine the requirements to man, train, certify, and maintain readiness of the HRFs so it can efficiently respond to regional domestic incidents.
