BY ORDER OF THE AIR FORCE DOCTRINE DOCUMENT 2-10 SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE 21 MARCH 2006 OPR: HQ AFDC/DR (Mr Bob Christensen) Certified by: AFDC/CC (Maj Gen Bentley B. Rayburn) Pages: 66 Distribution: F Approved by: T. MICHAEL MOSELEY, General, USAF Chief of Staff FOREWORD The terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 are a stark example that some nations, organizations, groups, and individuals will implement extraordinary measures to further their cause and bring death and destruction to the United States. It is imperative that the Air Force prepare fully to detect, preempt, respond to, mitigate, and recover from the full spectrum of threats to the homeland, to include natural emergencies, nation-state aggression, terrorist attacks, and other man-made events. Make no mistake about it: when the nation calls, the Air Force will respond – and we will respond quickly and effectively. We have much to contribute to the security of the homeland, regardless of the nature of the event. This includes the defense of the homeland through air and space operations, whether in air, space, or cyberspace. While civilian sector and federal agencies possess substantial assets and capabilities to respond to these domestic emergencies, the Air Force, with its inherent speed and through its distinctive capabilities, stands ready to provide full-spectrum support to these civil agencies. The Air Force brings specialized assets to support the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation during the crisis portion of a terrorist event. We have capabilities that contribute to the Department of Homeland Security’s and their Federal Emergency Management Agency’s efforts at incident management, ranging from disaster relief to scenarios involving chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosive devices. This document describes how our Air Force organizes and employs air and space power in operations in the homeland. We have superb air and space warfare doctrine addressing air and space expeditionary forces and combat operations. Homeland operations doctrine complements those documents. It focuses on how we support civilian agencies through the appropriate combatant commander in a variety of operations, such as neutralizing terrorist threats, responding to natural disasters, and supporting the traditional mission of homeland defense. Concepts such as centralized control/decentralized execution and unity of effort are just as relevant in the civil support arena as they are in warfighting. The complexities of the interagency process, the nexus between law enforcement and national security, and other issues raised when we conduct operations in the homeland create seams that we must address. This document represents a significant first step to codify our best practices in conducting operations in the homeland. T.

This includes the full spectrum of potential military operations, to include civil support prior to a terrorist incident, civil support to contend with the consequences of an event, and extraordinary homeland defense or civil support operations. APPLICATION This document applies to the Total Force: all Air Force military and civilian personnel, including regular, Air Force Reserve Command, and Air National Guard units and members. The doctrine in this document is authoritative, but not directive. Therefore, commanders need to consider the contents of this Air Force Doctrine Document and the particular situation when accomplishing the Air Force’s missions. Airmen should read it, discuss it, and practice it. SCOPE Most Air Force assets (people, weapons, and support

    Politik Nummer 1 | Årgang 20 | 2017 Drone-dronningen: Voyeurisme, intimitet og paranoia i tv-serien Homeland Andreas Immanuel Graae, Ph.d.-stipendiat, Litteraturvidenskab, Syddansk Universitet Kamikazepiloten: Min krop er et våben. Dronen: Mit våben har ingen krop.” - Chamayou 2015, 84 I hovedværket A Theory of the Drone (2015) trækker den franske filosof Grégoire Chamayou linjerne hårdt op mellem to typer krigere: Selvmordsbomberen og dronepiloten. Hvor selvmordsbomberen, herunder kamikazepiloten, med sin handling foretager den ultimative ofring af egen krop, markerer dronepiloten omvendt et totalt fravær af krop i kampzonen; de repræsenterer to politiske og affektive logikker, der ofte modstilles i den akademiske dronedebat såvel som i populærkulturelle repræsentationer af dronekrig.1 Opfattelsen af dronekrig som en grundlæggende kropsløs og virtuel affære understøttes af udbredte forestillinger og fordomme om droneoperationer som ren simulation eller ligefrem et computerspil, der producerer en ’PlayStation-mentalitet’ blandt piloterne (Chamayou 2015, 107; Gregory 2014, 9). Der skal ikke herske tvivl om, at de senere årtiers teknologiske fremskridt har øget militærindustriens interesse for simulationer, computergenerede modeller, netværk og algoritmer (Derian 2009). Men selvom skærmkrigerens manglende kropslige involvering i begivenhederne på slagmarken kan stilles op over for selvmordsbomberens ultimative kropslige offer, betyder det ikke nødvendigvis, at følelsesmæssig indlevelse og erfaring er totalt fraværende i dronekrig. Tværtimod tyder talrige rapporter om psykiske nedbrud og PTSD-diagnoser blandt dronepiloterne på væsentlig mental fordybelse og emotionel indlevelsesevne (Chamayou 2015, 106). 1 For eksempel tegner poprock-gruppen Muse i albummet Drones (2015) et dehumaniseret billede af dronekrig, hvor der er ”no recourse, and there is no one behind the wheel,” som det hedder på tracket ‘Reapers.’ 62 Politik Nummer 1 | Årgang 20 | 2017 Adskillige nyere film og tv-serier adresserer denne problematik i deres repræsentationer af dronekrig.

  • Defining Homeland Security: Analysis and Congressional Considerations
    Defining Homeland Security: Analysis and Congressional Considerations Updated January 8, 2013 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R42462 Defining Homeland Security: Analysis and Congressional Considerations Summary Ten years after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the U.S. government does not have a single definition for “homeland security.” Currently, different strategic documents and mission statements offer varying missions that are derived from different homeland security definitions. Historically, the strategic documents framing national homeland security policy have included national strategies produced by the White House and documents developed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Prior to the 2010 National Security Strategy, the 2002 and 2007 National Strategies for Homeland Security were the guiding documents produced by the White House. In 2011, the White House issued the National Strategy for Counterterrorism. In conjunction with these White House strategies, DHS has developed a series of evolving strategic documents that are based on the two national homeland security strategies and include the 2008 Strategic Plan—One Team, One Mission, Securing the Homeland; the 2010 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review and Bottom-Up Review; and the 2012 Department of Homeland Security Strategic Plan. The 2012 DHS strategic plan is the latest evolution in DHS’s process of defining its mission, goals, and responsibilities. This plan, however, only addresses the department’s homeland security purview and is not a document that addresses homeland security missions and responsibilities that are shared across the federal government. Currently, the Department of Homeland Security is developing the 2014 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, which is due late 2013 or early 2014.

  • FEMA Developing and Maintaining Emergency Operations Plans
    Developing and Maintaining Emergency Operations Plans Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 Version 2.0 November 2010 I am pleased to announce the release of Version 2.0 of Comprehensive Preparedness Guide 101: Developing and Maintaining Emergency Operations Plans. Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 provides guidance for developing emergency operations plans. It promotes a common understanding of the fundamentals of risk-informed planning and decision making to help planners examine a hazard or threat and produce integrated, coordinated, and synchronized plans. The goal of CPG 101 is to assist in making the planning process routine across all phases of emergency management and for all homeland security mission areas. This Guide helps planners at all levels of government in their efforts to develop and maintain viable, all-hazards, all-threats emergency plans. Based on input from state, territorial, tribal, and local officials from across the United States, this update of CPG 101 expands on the fundamentals contained in the first version. With this edition, greater emphasis is placed on representing and engaging the whole community—to include those with access and functional needs, children, and those with household pets and service animals. Residents and all sectors of the community have a critical role and shared responsibility to take appropriate actions to protect themselves, their families and organizations, and their properties. Planning that engages and includes the whole community serves as the focal point for building a collaborative and resilient community. CPG 101 is the foundation for state, territorial, tribal, and local emergency planning in the United States. Planners in other disciplines, organizations, and the private sector, as well as other levels of government, may find this Guide useful in the development of their emergency operations plans.

Land is what provides us with the plants and animals that give us sustenance, the resources to build our shelters, and a place to rest our heads at night. It is the source of the most sublime beauty and the most complete destruction. Land is more than just dirt and rock; it is a part of the cycle of life and death that is at the very core of the cultures and beliefs of human civilizations across the centuries. As human beings began to navigate the surface of the earth thousands of years ago they learned the nuances of the land and the creatures that inhabited it, and they began to relate this knowledge to their fellow man. At the beginning this knowledge may have been transmitted as a simple sound or gesture: a cry of warning or an eager nod of the head. But as time went on, humans began to string together these sounds and bits of knowledge into words, and then into story, and sometimes into song.

  • Civil Defense and Homeland Security: a Short History of National Preparedness Efforts
    Civil Defense and Homeland Security: A Short History of National Preparedness Efforts September 2006 Homeland Security National Preparedness Task Force 1 Civil Defense and Homeland Security: A Short History of National Preparedness Efforts September 2006 Homeland Security National Preparedness Task Force 2 ABOUT THIS REPORT This report is the result of a requirement by the Director of the Department of Homeland Security’s National Preparedness Task Force to examine the history of national preparedness efforts in the United States. The report provides a concise and accessible historical overview of U.S. national preparedness efforts since World War I, identifying and analyzing key policy efforts, drivers of change, and lessons learned. While the report provides much critical information, it is not meant to be a substitute for more comprehensive historical and analytical treatments. It is hoped that the report will be an informative and useful resource for policymakers, those individuals interested in the history of what is today known as homeland security, and homeland security stakeholders responsible for the development and implementation of effective national preparedness policies and programs. 3 Introduction the Nation’s diverse communities, be carefully planned, capable of quickly providing From the air raid warning and plane spotting pertinent information to the populace about activities of the Office of Civil Defense in the imminent threats, and able to convey risk 1940s, to the Duck and Cover film strips and without creating unnecessary alarm. backyard shelters of the 1950s, to today’s all- hazards preparedness programs led by the The following narrative identifies some of the Department of Homeland Security, Federal key trends, drivers of change, and lessons strategies to enhance the nation’s learned in the history of U.S.

  • National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Public Guide, April 2011
    NTAS GUIDE National Terrorism Advisory System Public Guide April 2011 The National Terrorism Advisory System The National Terrorism Advisory System, or NTAS, replaces the color-coded Homeland Security Advisory System (HSAS). This new system will more effectively communicate information about terrorist threats by providing timely, detailed information to the public, government agencies, first responders, airports and other transportation hubs, and the private sector. It recognizes that Americans all share responsibility for the nation’s security, and should always be aware of the heightened risk of terrorist attack in the United States and what they should do. NTAS Alerts After reviewing the available information, the Secretary of Homeland Security will decide, in coordination with other Federal entities, whether an NTAS Alert should be issued. NTAS Alerts will only be issued when credible information is available. Imminent Threat Alert These alerts will include a clear statement that there is Warns of a credible, specific, and an imminent threat or elevated threat. Using available impending terrorist threat against the information, the alerts will provide a concise summary United States. of the potential threat, information about actions being taken to ensure public safety, and recommended steps Elevated Threat Alert that individuals, communities, businesses and governments can take to help prevent, mitigate or Warns of a credible terrorist threat respond to the threat. against the United States. The NTAS Alerts will be based on the nature of the threat: in some cases, alerts will be sent directly to law enforcement or affected areas of the private sector, while in others, alerts will be issued more broadly to the American people through both official and media channels.
