Info

The Task Force recommends an initial investment of about $10 million per year. The following chart summarizes the key force protection recommendations. Recommendation: Force Protection needs new emphasis. ⇒ DoD should elevate the priority of force protection plans and programs – in the departmental guidance and in the requirements and budget processes. ⇒ The Chairman should expand the scope and breadth of vulnerability assessments. ◊ Include people, mission, infrastructure, and lines of communication ◊ Expand biological, chemical, radiological, and nuclear considerations ◊ Make inspection-like – with compliance monitoring at all levels ⇒ DoD must adopt an end-to-end, systems engineering approach to rationalize policy, plans, programs, and budget. ◊ Develop a plan to demonstrate and field integrated force protection systems ◊ Develop a rapidly deployable force protection augmentation capability ⇒ Enhance intelligence operations for force protection. ◊ Focus more on timely, correlated warning ◊ Add organic tactical intelligence capabilities to overseas units ⇒ Pursue science and technology initiatives, through development and implementation by the Services and DARPA. ◊ Develop a joint force protection test bed established by the Joint Force Command or USCINCACOM ◊ Develop a force protection “associate” to support local commanders, using DARPA Taking these steps will help the Department emphasize force protection as a “state of mind” and a constant way of life. It is this focus on “state of mind” that is necessary for DoD’s force protection efforts to be truly effective. Civil Protection Similarly, civil protection begins with the state and local first responder community – law enforcement, fire and rescue, medical, and emergency management personnel. Depending on the severity of a crisis, as shown in Figure 10, federal assets may eventually become involved. Both the Department of Defense and the civilian community can benefit from improving the integration between the state, local, and federal agencies. Improvements in communication, training, information sharing, operations, and resource transfers would help to streamline emergency response operations and interfaces across all levels of responders. Also, utilizing the National Guard more effectively in their state, and in some cases their federal, role can serve to strengthen the linkages between civil protection and force protection with benefit to all participants. 26

Figure 10. Challenges and Players in Consequence Management The Department of Defense is assigned a wide and complex set of responsibilities to support civil protection under a variety of statutes, from prepositioned response capabilities, to crisis preparation and management, to consequence management. The Department has a role in both maintaining readiness and in planning, coordinating, and executing crisis response. Among DoD’s assets, Army and Marine Corps chemical units have personnel trained in protection, detection, decontamination, and cleanup and have specially tailored equipment. DoD response assets also include a variety of research and training institutes with a core of subject matter experts that can supply needed expertise and first hand experience. The Nunn-Lugar-Domenici Amendment on Domestic Preparedness was enacted by Congress in fiscal year 1997, to enhance the capability of the federal government to both prevent and respond to civilian incidents, particularly those involving weapons of mass destruction. The law also provides resources aimed at improving the capabilities of state and local emergency response agencies to prevent and respond to such incidents at both the national and local levels. The law recognized the current gaps that exist in the national capability to respond to terrorist incidents involving weapons of mass destruction. Under this law, DoD was directed to provide emergency response training, advice, and assistance to first responders; assist in developing a rapid response team; conduct testing and evaluation of preparedness; assist in developing and maintaining an inventory of physical equipment and assets; and assist in procuring equipment to interdict weapons of mass destruction. 27
