Book Description
In 1993, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) received assistance from the U.S. military, including counterdrug program support, while investigating violations of federal firearms laws by members of an obscure sect, the Branch Davidians, and their leader, Vernon Howell (also known as David Koresh), in Waco, Texas. On February 28, 1993, as the ATF tried to serve warrants on the sect's compound, a gunfight erupted, idling and wounding agents and Davidians. A standoff ensued that soon involved the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The military provided support to the two federal law enforcement agencies (LEA) throughout the 51-day standoff, which ended April 19, 1993, when the compound was destroyed by fire. In August 1996, the House Committees on Government Reform and Oversight and on the Judiciary issued a report, "Investigation into the Activities of Federal Law Enforcement Agencies Toward the Branch Davidians" (Report 104-749). The report recommended that we review certain aspects of the military assistance provided to the LEAs in this incident. We have reviewed the nature and extent of the assistance, including that from counterdrug programs, provided to these operations, as well as the counterdrug aspects of ATF's plans to serve a search warrant at the Davidian compound. We pursued three specific objectives: Determine whether the ATF's requests for support from military counterdrug programs met requirements for authorizing that support; Identify the measures ATF took to deal with any drug activity it might find during its warrant service, and determine whether those measures were appropriate for such operations where a methamphetamine laboratory might be encountered. Account for the types, costs, and reimbursements of all military support, including that from counterdrug programs, provided to the ATF and the FBI.

Book Description
The National Drug Control Strategy that is proclaimed every year at the highest levels of government actually translates to some kind of action in the field. This is no more apparent than when it comes to law enforcement. Strategy that is planned at such a high level of government can become rather obtuse when it hits the ground. Military leaders at the grunt level must be able to understand the intent of this strategy in terms of legally executable orders. The infringement on constitutional rights caused by a misapplied order might damage the military's ability to support counterdrug operations for law enforcement agencies in the future. This research paper begins by showing where in law military counterdrug support to law enforcement agencies is allowed and to what extent. Then this paper examines by the illustration of scenarios several different missions for both Title 10 and Title 32 personnel to show some of the legal envelopes.

Book Description
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Office of the Secretary of Defense's (OSD) allocation of fiscal year (FY) 1989 and FY 1990 appropriations totalling $150 million to support an increased National Guard role in states' and territories' counter-drug activities. GAO found that: (1) OSD allocated $35.5 million of its $40-million FY 1989 appropriation and prioritized funding to states with the most pressing counter-drug interdiction needs; (2) OSD did not use states' priority rankings or evaluate mission priority, since states' requests and the amount of available funding were relatively close; (3) because OSD provided the funds late in the fiscal year, states were unable to spend $12.4 million, which they returned to the U.S. Treasury; (4) in FY 1990, OSD initially allocated $67.7 million of the $83.1 million states requested, on the basis of a rank-order list of counter-drug missions and a relative priority for each state; (5) OSD allocated $51.5 million of that initial funding to 21 states it identified as top-priority states; (6) OSD allocated $111.9 million for operational costs of states' counter-drug activities for FY 1991; (7) OSD planned to require states to specify funding priorities among the missions included in their FY 1992 requests; (8) as of January 1991, the National Guard Bureau had committed $17.1 million for ground-based radars, $7.1 million for thermal imaging radars, and $4.3 million for communications equipment to support the high-priority missions that OSD was funding; (9) the Bureau and the states' Guard organizations have not determined the amount or type of equipment to be purchased with FY 1991 funds; and (10) law enforcement agencies could not quantify the impact of the Guard's expanded support for their counter-drug activities, since the Guard did not independently plan, control, or execute operations.
