McKinleyI am always eager to seize any opportunity that helps me reachout and communicate with Airmen and Soldiers in our NationalGuard, and during my visit with the Soldiers and trainers atBCTC-Ft Leavenworth I was introduced to The Azimuth as anexcellent communication channel.Our domestic security challenges are complex and unpredictable. Natural and man-made disasters, terrorist threats, and transnational criminal gangstrying to smuggle weapons, cash and people across our border all demand a rapid, multifaceted and tiered response from local up through national levels. And the National Guarddelivers, providing our nation with teams of experts that can quickly meet and mitigate aspectrum of threats to include chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yieldexplosives. We've also formed unique command and control packages that quickly partnerNational Guard forces with state and federal agencies that will better organize and targetcivil response to national and/or multi-state emergencies. Add to this our existing capabilities and the Guard is truly a comprehensive, capable national response force that can meet abroad spectrum of civil support operations.Successfully executing civil support operations indicates our readiness to support any oneof the Guard's I top three priorities: security and defense of our homeland at home andabroad; support to- overseas contingency operations; and maintaining a relevant, reliable,and ready National Guard that is transformed for the 21st Century. "Always ready, alwaysthere" has never been just a bumper sticker; it's how all of us Guard Members need to thinkand, understandably, is what the citizens of our great nation have the right to expect of us.This edition of The Azimuth is an excellent primer for Soldiers and Airmen alike who wantto understand the depth and breadth of civil support we must be ready to provide on a moment's notice. Commanders and staffs at all levels can also use this issue to determine anddesign training as well as operational planning. Just like our Minute Man predecessors protected their communities, we are charged to protect our nation and we'll not fail. That is mychallenge to you, and I know you'll meet it, just as the Guard has done for nearly four hundred years.Inside This IssueIntroduction . . . .Page 2Glossary . . . . .Page 3Civil Support Operations Overview .Pages 4-18Civil Support Operations and the National Guard . . .Pages 19-30CBRNE Response and the National Guard. . .Pages 31-38National Guard WMD Civil Support Teams .Pages 38-41CBRNE Enhanced Response Force Package . . .Pages 41-43CBRNE Consequence Management Response Forces . .Pages 44-47Homeland Response Force . .Page 48DART . .

The terminology applied tothis function has varied over the years:military assistance, or military supportto civil authorities; military support ofcivil defense; and employment of military resources in natural disaster emergencies within the United States. Although the US military has been authorized to provide support to civil authorities in response to major disasters andelements, planning support, advisors,and technical experts to assist civilauthority. In some situations, civilauthority may have become so diminished that the company commanderhas the most effective command andcontrol (C2) system in the area.
