Figure 2 DOD HLS Paradigm from Homeland Security

prevent terrorist attacks within the US, reduce
Americas vulnerability to terrorism, and
minimize the damage and recover from attacks that
do occur. (Natl Strategy for Homeland
Security) Homeland Defense The protection of US
sovereignty, territory, domestic population and
critical defense infrastructure against external
threats and aggression. Civil Support DOD

procedures and resources are in place to support
the President and Secretary of Defense in a
designated National Security Emergency.

HLS - HLD Transitions (Designation of Lead Agency)

2
During crisis or pre-crisis, if time permits, the
President, through and in consultation with the
appropriate Cabinet officials, will 1) direct
that DHS, DOJ, or other federal agency is the
lead (for HLS), or 2) that DOD is the lead (for
HLD), or 3) direct a change in lead agency from
DHS to DOD or DOD to DHS.
