Abstract:

Comprehensive assessments of national defense and homeland security efforts within the context of the overall interagency national security effort would enable the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to focus on known responsibilities and help to ensure that agencies beyond DOD and DHS are not burdened with responsibilities that should fall under the purview of other government entities.
