Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defense support of civil authorities (DSCA) is support provided by federal military forces, Department of Defense (DOD) civilians, DOD contract personnel, DOD component assets, and National Guard (NG) forces (when the Secretary of Defense [SecDef], in coordination with the governors of the affected states, elects and requests to use those forces in Title 32, United States Code, status or when federalized) in response to requests for assistance from civil authorities for domestic emergencies, law enforcement support, and other domestic activities, or from qualifying entities for special events. DSCA in the US presents a unique challenge based on the history of the country and the interaction of the federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal governments and private and nonprofit organizations. These relationships establish the multiple layers and mutually reinforcing structures throughout the state and territorial governments for interaction based on the US Constitution, as well as on common law and traditional relationships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike other nations around the world, where the national military has a central role in providing assistance to civilian communities in time of emergency of disaster, the active component of the United States military prefers a role of capable supporter in time of great domestic need. The Department of Defense (DOD) is a supporting agency to 14 of the Emergency Support Functions in the National Response Framework (NRF, January 2008), and a primary agency for the 15th ESF. The military performs these missions, Defense Support of Civil Authorities, utilizing its military assets and personnel as best it can, but is generally prohibited by DOD policy from purchasing non-military equipment. The U.S. military has been called to support duty many times over the years to assist people in time of great need. The military has the organization, the training and discipline, usable assets, and in some cases critical supplies that can be quickly and efficiently brought to bear on a disorganized environment that disasters frequently create. The process of requesting and properly integrating military support into a civilian environment, in times of disaster and emergency, however, has at times been fraught with misunderstanding, awkwardness, and error. State National Guard support is common in most states, but DOD showing up in support is a much rarer occurrence. Many emergency managers desiring military support do not have an adequate understanding of the correct requesting processes, or an adequate understanding of proper response integration or employment techniques, as different from National Guard support. The research revealed a set of competencies, and a body of knowledge that should be incorporated into training classes or publications that the DOD could generate for working emergency managers, including first responders, and for students of emergency management. The qualitative research methods included case study (archive document review), interview, and survey.

This book was released on 2016-08-11 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DOD Manual 3025.01, Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) identifies authorities for DoD Components to provide support of civil authorities and non-DoD entities. Historically, DSCA provides support in response to a request for assistance from civil authorities for domestic emergencies, law enforcement agency support, and other domestic activities. The most visible support is provided during major natural and man-made disasters and other incidents. With the rapid pace of change in U.S. society, the looming threat of climate change, and the disastrous effects dramatic weather events of the past year, civil authorities will increase their dependence on the Federal government and the DoD. The DSCA specifically addresses cyber and physical infrastructure services critical to maintaining the national defense, continuity of government, economic prosperity, and quality of life in the United States. DSCA is the vehicle that facilitates the support needed, so it is imperative that State, City and Local governments become fully versed in the capabilities and possible support that DoD can muster when help is required. This book explains what the DoD can and cannot do when an emergency is declared. All three volumes of the DSCA are included here. Also included is the Stafford Act, and the Emergency Management-related Provisions of the Homeland Security Act, FEMA 592 August 2016. Why buy a book you can download for free?

Download or read book Secure Information Sharing in a Defense Support to Civil Authorities Environment written by Eugene T. Gormley and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past few years, Defense Support to Civil Authorities (DSCA) has become a more important mission for the military services, especially the National Guard. In the aftermath of events such as 9/11, Hurricane Katrina and others, the federal and state governments have recognized the importance of timely and accurate information sharing to support pre-event planning and effective response during an event. Another key issue facing Chief Information Officers (CIOs) is the aspect of information security / information assurance. In this age of continuous cyber attack, protection of networks and the data they contain is also of the highest importance. The assets of the National Guard are a powerful and underutilized tool to protect state level networks and facilitate better information sharing between the state and federal networks. Using the State of Virginia as an example, this paper will examine the implementation of information sharing between the Army National Guard and the state emergency management agency and make recommendations to improve the information sharing environment in those organizations.

Book excerpt: Defense Support to Civil Authorities (DSCA) in the post 9-11 era has received intense scrutiny with regard to the military's ability to effectively respond to natural or man-made disasters. The two party political nuances at the local, state, and federal levels, the media's amplification of any perceived failures, and statutory constraints, have forced the Department of Defense (DoD) to reexamine how it supports civil authorities when it is not the lead federal agency. The federal government's slow and inadequate response to the seminal devastation created by Hurricane Katrina exposed weaknesses in the National Response Plan and DoD's contribution to that plan despite prior successes using the same plan. The response weaknesses are complex as they cut through three levels of government, transcend multiple federal and state agencies, and specifically for the military, cross between Title 10, Title 32, and state active duty forces, where the parent authorities of those forces are reluctant to share control for political, fiscal, and mission realities. The ideas brought forth in this monograph are highly pertinent because frequency, scale, and the likelihood of a future natural or man-made disaster are high. The local, state, and federal response preparedness must exceed that which the nation witnessed during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Defense leaders and planners, working with the interagency and the states, must prepare now for the next inevitable event in order to save lives, mitigate the breadth of property damage, and to maintain a high public trust. Although this monograph uses the response to Hurricane Katrina as the basis for discussion, the significance of its findings apply, in general, to all DSCA incidents. Whether man-made (i.e., a terrorist bombing) or natural, the effects and consequences are similar in terms of casualties, infrastructure destruction, power outages, a displaced population, etc. DoD should view DSCA as a core mission and, irrespective of the current military operational tempo, they must seasonally source forces, for planning purposes, to satisfy the most likely DSCA response. A sourced capability that is initially designed against pre-scripted capabilities to meet predicted response requirements will allow tasked units to prepare for a potential response. Other areas that the research concludes may require attention include how to command and control the National Guard, a different approach to when forces should deploy in a DSCA incident, and how military culture and the media affect DoD's ability to respond to a relief operation.
