Disaster can strike anytime, anywhere. It takes many forms--a hurricane, an earthquake, a tornado, a flood, a fire or a hazardous spill, or an act of terrorism. An incident can build over days or weeks, or hit suddenly, without warning. A poorly managed incident response can undermine our safety and well-being. With so much at stake, we must effectively manage our response efforts. Although most incidents are handled locally, partnerships among Local, Tribal, State, and Federal agencies as well as nongovernmental and private-sector organizations may be required. As partners, we must respond together in a seamless, coordinated fashion. The Incident Command System (ICS) helps ensure integration of our response efforts. ICS is a standardized, on-scene, all-hazards approach to incident management. ICS allows all responders to adopt an integrated organizational structure that matches the complexities and demands of the incident while respecting agency and jurisdictional authorities. The ICS is just one part of a larger integrated system of stability and response called the National Response Framework. It is used collectively through all levels of government, from Federal to Local, to ensure that in the case of an emergency, or any other situation that threatens the function of government, the services required to protect lives, preserve and maintain public infrastructure and protect personal property are in place or restored as soon as possible.

It has been nearly thirty years since a holistic explanation of the Soviet-based Opposing Force (OPFOR) was examined in the U.S. Army Field Manual 100-2 series. Recognizing this, ¿OPFOR SMARTbook 3: Red Team Army¿ re-examines and outlines the doctrinal operational construct and historical foundations of Soviet-era military forces from the FM 100-2 series, which is now out-of-print and largely unavailable. Second, OPFOR SMARTbook 3 reorganizes that foundational material and aligns it in keeping with contemporary military doctrinal taxonomy to include ADRP 3-0 Unified Land Operations and ADRP 3-90 Tactics. Third, OPFOR SMARTbook 3 translates and bridges the strategic- and operational-level doctrine into tactical application at the small-unit level. Through this triangulation, a more modern rendition of Red Team Armies emerges. *** Find the latest edtion of this book and the rest of our series of military reference SMARTbooks at the publishers website: www.TheLightningPress.com ***

The US homeland is the physical region that includes the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, US territories, and surrounding territorial waters and airspace. The homeland is a functioning theater of operations, and the Department of Defense (DOD) regularly performs a wide range of defense operations within the theater. DOD is responsible for the homeland defense (HD) mission, and leads the response with support from international partners and United States Government (USG) departments and agencies. The homeland operational environments require pre-event and ongoing coordination with interagency and multinational partners to integrate capabilities and facilitate unified action. DOD plans and prepares to operate in concert with other USG entities. HD, defense support to civil authorities (DSCA), and homeland security (HS) operations or events may occur simultaneously. The Department of Homeland Security is the lead federal agency for HS. HS is a concerted national effort to prevent terrorist attacks within the US; reduce domestic vulnerability to terrorism, major disasters, and other emergencies; and minimize the damage and recover from attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies that occur. DSCA is support provided by US federal military forces, DOD civilians, DOD contract personnel, DOD component assets, and National Guard (NG) forces in response to requests for assistance from civil authorities for domestic emergencies, law enforcement (LE) support, and other domestic activities, or from qualifying entities for special events.

Chapter I The Homeland and DSCA Operating Environment Chapter I provides a broad overview of how operating in the homeland differs from other areas of responsibility. It explains briefly homeland security, homeland defense, DSCA, and NGCS. The chapter discusses the role of Federal military forces and state NG forces and how they complement each other. It introduces the different authorities (Title 10, and Title 32, U.S.C., and state active duty). The National Incident Management System (NIMS) and National Response Framework (NRF) are summarized. It includes a section on basic command and control (Army mission command) and illustrates dualstatus and parallel command channels. It emphasizes unity of effort even though there may not be unity of command. Chapter II Legal Considerations Associated with DSCA Chapter II highlights the legal considerations associated with DSCA operations, most notably Posse Comitatus, immediate response authority, disaster response under the Stafford Act, Rules for the Use of Force, and Intelligence Oversight rules. The chapter contains examples and vignettes to help illustrate the legal principles. Chapter III General Operational Planning and Execution Chapter III highlights general planning and execution considerations in a DSCA environment such as facility availability, evacuation considerations, and communications. This chapter focuses on factors unique to the DSCA mission set. Chapter IV Commander's Considerations Chapter IV provides DSCA environment-specific planning and execution considerations for military forces. The chapter describes and compares the overall responsibility of each key billet and its coordination with civilian counterparts.
