Common Operating Picture and the Strategy For
Homeland Defense and Civil Support
Cited from DOD Strategy For Homeland Defense and
Civil Support June 2005

• .this expanded national security challenge
  necessitates an unprecedented degree of shared
  situational awareness among Federal agencies,
  with state, local, tribal, and private entities,
  and between the United States and its key foreign
  partners. (p. 23)
• Homeland defense and civil support are Total
  Force responsibilities. However, the nation needs
  to focus particular attention on better using the
  competencies of National Guard and Reserve
  Component organizations. The National Guard is
  particularly well suited for civil support
  missions. (p. 35)
• ..because the most critical element of
  successfully defeating threats to the US homeland
  is shared situational awareness, the Department
  will focus special attention in this area. (p.
  39)

• There will be additional terrorist attacks and
  natural disasters
• Events could be simultaneous, stressing response
  capabilities
• National Guard units will continue to be deployed
  to overseas theaters and may not be as readily
  available
• Focus on the Homeland requires greater
  partnership with all levels of government
• Situational Awareness DoD and many levels of
  government must ensure they have current
  visibility of capabilities to support domestic
  operations
