Exchanging Business Cards: The Impact of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 on Domestic Disaster Response

Abstract

This year's National Defense Authorization Act amended public law to allow the secretary of defense (upon the direction of the president) to mobilize reserve components involuntarily up to 120 days in response to natural or man-made disasters. This change will add more than 380,000 reserve Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines to the pool of potential responders, ensuring for the first time an "all in" military response to these events.
