DOD Manual 3025.01, Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) identifies authorities for DoD Components to provide support of civil authorities and non-DoD entities. Historically, DSCA provides support in response to a request for assistance from civil authorities for domestic emergencies, law enforcement agency support, and other domestic activities. The most visible support is provided during major natural and man-made disasters and other incidents. With the rapid pace of change in U.S. society, the looming threat of climate change, and the disastrous effects dramatic weather events of the past year, civil authorities will increase their dependence on the Federal government and the DoD. The DSCA specifically addresses cyber and physical infrastructure services critical to maintaining the national defense, continuity of government, economic prosperity, and quality of life in the United States. DSCA is the vehicle that facilitates the support needed, so it is imperative that State, City and Local governments become fully versed in the capabilities and possible support that DoD can muster when help is required. This book explains what the DoD can and cannot do when an emergency is declared. All three volumes of the DSCA are included here. Also included is the Stafford Act, and the Emergency Management-related Provisions of the Homeland Security Act, FEMA 592 August 2016. Why buy a book you can download for free?

This thesis explores the doctrinal divide among homeland defense (HD), homeland security (HS), and defense support to civil authorities (DSCA) and questions whether these doctrinal spaces are adequately instructive to National Guard domestic action. The thesis explores the Department of Defense's (DoD) important contributions to HD and DSCA and the Guard's historical and contemporary roles in HD and HS. This work proposes that the DoD's reticence to describe its actions as HS creates a doctrinal void for the Guard. This thesis advances DSCA as theoretically and practically useful for the DoD but concurrently contravenes core principles of domestic response, which is practically inadequate for domestic Guard action. By exploring military action in large-scale, complex disasters and national special security events, this thesis provides insight into the legal, policy, and fiscal challenges and solutions for clearer domestic doctrine. The thesis explores whether the Guard can be better employed in disasters by adjudicating matters of defense over security and engaging in a federalism conversation aimed at discriminating between disasters that are "national matters" and those that are "state matters."
