Book Description
The National Guard has participated in the "War on Drugs" on several levels, using its unique relationship at the city, county and state levels to assist law enforcement, social services, and community support activities. The Guard has succeeded where federal agencies have not because it can rapidly respond and cooperate with local leaders across the nation. This SRP examines the role the Guard has played in counterdrug operations beginning with an analysis of applicable national strategies from the top down. Next it reviews the key laws involved in using the military in counterdrug operations and discusses specific roles of the Guard in this endeavor. Finally, it recommends changes for improving the effectiveness of the Guard in conducting counterdrug operations.

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.

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
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.
