Bureaucratic Structure

• DHS had Five Major Divisions, or "Directorates"
  in 2002
• I. Border and Transportation Security (BTS) BTS
  is led by Under Secretary Asa Hutchinson, and is
  responsible for maintaining the security of our
  nation's borders and transportation systems. The
  largest of the Directorates, it is home to
  agencies such as the Transportation Security
  Administration, the former U.S. Customs Service,
  the border security functions of the former
  Immigration and Naturalization Service,  Animal
  Plant Health Inspection Service, and the Federal
  Law Enforcement Training Center.
• II. Emergency Preparedness and Response (EPR)
  This Directorate, which is headed up by Acting
  Under Secretary R. David Paulison, ensures that
  our nation is prepared for, and able to recover
  from, terrorist attacks and natural disasters.
• III. Science and Technology (S T) Under the
  direction of Under Secretary Dr. Charles
  McQueary, this Directorate coordinates the
  Department's efforts in research and development,
  including preparing for and responding to the
  full range of terrorist threats involving weapons
  of mass destruction.
• IV. Information Analysis and Infrastructure
  Protection (IAIP) IAIP merges the capability to
  identify and assess a broad range of intelligence
  information concerning threats to the homeland
  under one roof, issue timely warnings, and take
  appropriate preventive and protective action.
• V. Management  The Under Secretary of
  Management, Janet Hale, is responsible for
  budget, management and personnel issues in DHS.
• The current organization is much more complex
  (see PDF file) in 2006.

Bureaucratic Structure

• Besides the five Directorates of DHS, several
  other critical agencies are folding into the new
  department or being newly created
• United States Coast Guard The Commandant of the
  Coast Guard reports directly to the Secretary of
  Homeland Security.  However, the USCG also works
  closely with the Under Secretary of Border and
  Transportation Security as well as maintain its
  existing independent identity as a military
  service. Upon declaration of war or when the
  President so directs, the Coast Guard would
  operate as an element of the Department of
  Defense, consistent with existing law.
• United States Secret Service The primary mission
  of the Secret Service is the protection of the
  President and other government leaders, as well
  as security for designated national events. The
  Secret Service is also the primary agency
  responsible for protecting U.S. currency from
  counterfeiters and safeguarding Americans from
  credit card fraud.
• Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services
  While BTS is responsible for enforcement of our
  nation's immigration laws, the U.S. Citizenship
  and Immigration Services (USCIS) dedicates its
  full energies to providing efficient immigration
  services and easing the transition to American
  citizenship. The Director of Citizenship and
  Immigration Services reports directly to the
  Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security.

  Homeland Security on the full range of issues and
  challenges faced by America's business sector in

  Security Secretary Michael Chertoffs agenda for

  eliminates duplication, and disciplined in risk
  management. Central to the departments budget
  are five themes  increasing overall
  preparedness, and strengthening the Federal
  Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) strengthening
  border security and reforming immigration
  enhancing transportation security through more
  efficient and secure system controls improving
