    DUKE UNIVERSITY Durham, North Carolina CIVILIAN RESEARCH PROJECT THE ARMY’S ROLE IN DOMESTIC DISASTER RESPONSE: PREPARING FOR THE NEXT CATASTROPHE by Neal S. Mitsuyoshi U.S. ARMY WAR COLLEGE Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania March 2014 Faculty Advisor, Duke University: Thomas W. Taylor Faculty Advisory, U.S. Army War College: William G. Braun Executive Summary The military is a unique national asset that possesses the required personnel and resources to rapidly respond in a domestic disaster. Routine domestic disasters are frequently seen in the news, and catastrophic disasters involving significant loss of life, property, and/or critical infrastructure cannot have a successful response without federal support. There are some that even believe the military should play a dominant lead role in domestic disaster response. However, expanding the military’s role should not be the recommended strategy to improving our nation’s disaster response. The implementation of the National Response Plan, as well as other structural improvements at the federal, state and local levels since September 11 and Hurricane Katrina have confirmed that disaster response should continue to be led by civilians, and the military should continue its traditional role of support to civil authorities. In accepting the current national framework for disaster response as the right one, there are some changes the US Army should make to ensure the nation is ready to respond when disasters overwhelm states and local governments. Despite an era of downsizing, one of the challenges for the Army will be to determine how it can improve its Defense Support to Civil Authorities (DSCA) mission, while concurrently balancing it with its combat mission.
