Book Description
This study explores the continued use of the National Guard in support of drug law enforcement agencies (DLEAs) and community based organizations (CBOs) in counterdrug operations. The National Guard, or militia, has been involved since its founding in what senior military leadership today calls non-traditional missions or military operations other than war (MOOTW). Civil support is not new for the National Guard, and neither is counterdrug operations. The National Guard has been involved in counterdug operations since 1977, and this role increased after President Reagan declared a War on Drugs in 1983, involving all of DOD. The use of the National Guard to provide domestic support to DLEAs and CBOs has grown into a mission that is relied upon by the DLEAs to perform their mission, and is mutually beneficial to the National Guard and the supported agencies. The National Guard provides countless hours of manpower support, and loans advanced technological equipment, which enhances the DLEAs as they perform their mission. The National Guard also benefits in this support because the missions enforce the skills necessary to perform their wartime mission. This study acknowledges the difficulty in measuring the success of National Guard involvement, but its continued participation is necessary to domestically protect the security of the United States.

Book Description
The purpose of this research project is to examine the legal basis for the use of National Guard units in the war on drugs, to review the Secretary of Defense's authorized missions for National Guard counter-drug operations, and to explore the scope and effectiveness of these operations. A review of what effect, if any, these domestic operations have on the ability of National Guard units to perform their primary federal mission of providing units trained for combat follows. The study concludes that the results in terms of military training value of counter-drug operations appear to justify the amount of annual appropriations currently authorized.

National Guard Involvement in Counterdrug Operations and Its Impact on Readiness
Author: Nickey W. PhilpotPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Border patrols
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
During recent years there has been a growing tendency to use the United States military in non-traditional ways in support of national strategies. One such initiative involving the military has been that of providing support to drug law enforcement agencies (DLEAs) in efforts to control illegal drug flow in the United States. The National Guard has become the primary agency for the Department of Defense in providing domestic support to DLEAs. Significant debate has been generated concerning how these domestic counterdrug efforts by the National Guard impact on readiness as the Guard continues to perform traditional federal and domestic missions. These questions are further amplified during this period of constrained resources and tendencies of the American public to call for maximum performance by the military at minimum cost. This paper offers a discussion of the National Guard Counterdrug Program and its impact on soldiers and airmen in their abilities to perform in primary military specialties.
