Domestic Defense

Wednesday, March 24, 2010

The Pentagon has established a 20,000-strong rapid reaction force to deal with the aftermath of a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or high-yield explosive attack on American soil. This force greatly expands the role of the military in domestic defense.

The challenge in the establishment of these forces and defining their mission is a major focus of the Domestic Defense Symposium. This includes the hardware requirements as well as the physical infrastructure necessary to support their mission.

In times of crisis, first responders on all levels will be working with this force, which has been assigned to U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM). This Symposium will also address how the military and first responders can work together prior to and during an event to ensure an effective, timely and coordinated response at the most challenging times.
