STOAbstractExternal:
In domestic disaster response, the affected state's National Guard frequently provides Civil Support to local civilian authorities. In some domestic catastrophes, the federal military may be asked to augment the National Guard response. It is in the context of Civil Support operations involving both the National Guard and federal military forces, that this paper examines the sometimes contentious C2 relationship between state and federal military forces. The thesis for discussion is that current domestic Civil Support C2, involving both Title 10 (federal military) and Title 32 (state National Guard) forces, can be improved by changes to existing law, directives and operating procedures. These modifications would allow the use of existing Joint C2 doctrine in such operations, creating Unity of Command with National Guard in the lead. The topic of modifying Civil Support C2 is not new. However, this paper contends that cultural resistance is a major factor in the inability of the Active Component to support change to C2. A change in the Title 10 culture is therefore necessary to enable progress. Additionally, while some new ideas from existing Joint doctrine have been acknowledged, this paper will examine additional options for Civil Support C2.
