Defense Department’s Serious Thinking About Homeland Security

From Dr. James Carafano of The Heritage Foundation:

It is just a paper, but if it is put into action it will help make all Americans safer. Last week, the Defense Department released its Strategy for Homeland Defense and Civil Support, which outlines the Pentagon’s major tasks and initiatives supporting homeland security. The strategy sets the right priorities, particularly in three critical areas where it must partner with the Department of Homeland Security—maritime security, responding to catastrophic terrorism, and scientific research. Now the Pentagon needs to follow through.
