De Amerikanen hebben in elk geval zowel een rol voor de FBI als DoD.

Terrorism and The Military’s Role in Domestic Crisis
Management: Background and Issues for Congress

Summary
The United States faces a number of significant national security
threats, ranging
in scope from intercontinental ballistic missiles to the use of weapons
of mass
destruction (WMD) by terrorists. The debate over the seriousness of the
various
threats has intensified recently. Various studies and commissions have
recommended
far reaching changes in the U.S. approach to domestic preparedness and
response to
threats to the homeland. Many experts believe the probable long term
effects of a
WMD attack by terrorists on the population, environment, and the economy
make it
imperative that the U.S. be fully prepared to either deter or interdict
an attempted
terrorist attack.
This paper reviews the current legislation and policies that govern the
military’s
role when supporting law enforcement in a domestic terrorism crisis and
highlights
some of the issues confronting the U.S. government. To fully understand
the
military’s role in domestic crisis response it is necessary to explore
existing national-level
structures and response options prior to the involvement of military
forces.
Crisis management is predominately a law enforcement function that
manages the
resources necessary to prevent or resolve a terrorist incident,
including one involving
WMD. Current U.S. government terrorism response policy is contained in
presidential directives. Among other matters, these directives address
National
Security Council structure and federal agency crisis response roles when
responding
to a domestic terrorism incident.
Many federal agencies are available to assist the Federal Bureau of
Investigations
(FBI) in dealing with a terrorist threat or in the resolution of an
actual terrorist
incident. The Department of Defense (DoD), as a supporting agency in
domestic law
enforcement operations, has developed and maintains plans and
capabilities to respond
to threats or acts of terrorism, including those involving the use of
nuclear, biological,
or chemical weapons. In a domestic crisis, DoD may be called upon to
assist in
several different ways ranging from actual interdiction of the
terrorists to the loaning
of specialized equipment for use by law enforcement agencies. DoD has
published
specific policy for assistance to civil law enforcement officials in
emergencies
involving terrorism and WMD.
U.S. terrorism policy is an issue of growing policy debate. Most experts
believe
that a comprehensive national strategy for domestic terrorism is a
critical step in
defeating the threat. Some say more effectively employing DoD’s
capabilities during
domestic crisis response operations, or the creation of an entirely new
agency with
responsibility for “homeland defense,” are the best methods to ensure
success against
domestic terrorism. Lastly, newly proposed congressional oversight roles
are seen by
many as an important factor in a more effective response to domestic
terrorism.
