U.s. National Security Strategy 2014

Homeland and counter-terrorism programs outlines the policies needed to improve U.S. and global security in the 21st century. The policies analyze how the U.S. and foreign allies will work together toward goals by combating terrorism and their organizations. According to Joint Publication 3-26 (2014), joining with other key partners and allies to develop strategies and theater campaigns plans, helps protect U.S. interest in a common security agenda. This approach not only strengthens the U.S. but it also expands the international multilateral counter-terrorism agenda. For instance, U.S. policies heighten conversation on homeland security and counter-terrorism because it aims to serve globally and nationally. After the twin towns were attack, the department of Homeland Security created a policy called Homeland Security ACT 2002. This act covers multiple areas that needed improvement but it also gave an understand what is expected for security and the future of the country going forward. Science & technology, immigration, emergency response, and bioterrorism, are some of the policies that were created under the Homeland

How did 9/11 lead to the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and the breaching of civil rights?

Over the course of American history the United States military has been in need of more able bodied men to fight for the security of the nation than it has had. George Washington needed men during the Revolutionary era, George W. Bush needed men after the events on 9-11, and the next president will need men to continue the fight on terrorism. America has been reactive in their efforts to maintain a well-regulated military by only calling upon healthy abled bodied men during time of war. When in fact, America, should have been proactive by keeping a well-trained and well-staffed military on hand at all times. Every able bodied male should serve at least four years in the United States Armed Forces because the United States need protection at any given moment. The security of the United States is more important than ones right to choose to be in the Armed Forces. The rights of the people of the United States will not exist if there is not enough able bodied males to protect those rights. Of course non able bodied males should be excluded from this. A law to force every male to join the Armed Forces would go too far.

After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, people in the United States knew that absolutely anything could happen without even thinking about it. This event made the government realize that the United States security was not the best it could be. There always has been security everywhere, but today everything is taken to another level and is being controlled with a great amount of precautions. Now there is a lot more airport security, which will help prevent any more hijacking of planes or bombings. There has also been a lot more security in New York City because of the terrorist attack. There are also new technologies and programs that help with the security of this country.

The United States (US) is constantly looking for ways to improve relations with other countries and to follow their National Security Strategy (NSS). To aid the US in analyzing different countries, the PMESII-PT is used as a formula to keep everyone on the same page. The PMESII-PT contains eight different variables which help the United States analyze how different countries can affect their National Security Strategy. These variables include: political, military, economic, social, information, infrastructure, physical terrain, and time. These variables can be used to help better understand the situation and most important aspects of any country. Japan is a major country that can have a large impact on US relations and build on the current NSS. Throughout this paper, the PMESII-PT variables are examined to help educate and show how Japan can affect the United States’ NSS. After reading this paper, one can gain knowledge on how Japan can have a large influence on US interests in the Pacific/ Asian Command (PACOM) region.

During every period of conflict we observe how our economy shifts to stabilize and support such massive military movements. We will be going through 3 major Department of Defense evolutions during times of conflict to compare those to how economically we must fight a 4th generation, non-conventional war.

As a nation, we face many problems because everyone has a different attitude towards certain things. Over the years, I have notice that no government is perfect. Every country has an area they lack in when it come to their citizens. This paper will examine three different theories when it pertains to the current political issues happening. The first component is the symbolic racism theory, which can be seen as being institutionalized when it comes to the part the government plays. The next concept being explored is the security dilemmas theory that will focus on the conflict between the militia group, ISIS, and the U.S. The last theory examination will concentrate on the cognitive dissonance about the current presidential campaign. Each theory

The National Strategy for Counterterrorism (2011) states, “U.S. CT efforts require a multi-departmental and multinational effort that goes beyond traditional intelligence, military, and law enforcement functions… These efforts must also be complemented by broader capabilities, such as diplomacy, development, strategic communications, and the power of the private sector” (p. 2). On the surface, this statement seems robust and portrays an effort to use every aspect of our national power, however, it’s equally vague and the strategy as a whole lacks measurable goals that can be used to evaluate its effectiveness. The question is, what kinds of data and evidence should we used to evaluate whether or not the current U.S. strategy for counterterrorism

The foundation of the U.S. National Security Policy is on the Goldwater-Nichols Act. 1947, signed by U.S. President Ronald Reagan after the World War II, encouraging a restructure of the military through the National Security Act of 1947. The Department of War and the Department of Navy was unified into the National Military Establishment (NME), then renamed to Department of Defense with the purpose to have Army, Navy and Air Force into a unified structure. President Truman signed the National Security Act Amendment of 1949 in reflection to strategic changes to the Cold War facts. This paper explores the book review, performed by Robert B. McCalla and Melvin A. Goodman, of Richard J. Stoll’s “U.S. National Security Policy and the Soviet

After the attack on September 11, 2001, America became much more aware of the necessity to enhance security within the country. The tragedy that struck America’s heart continues to affect the lives of citizens today because the memory will never disappear. The United States decided to take action and strengthen security of the nation to prevent any terrorist attacks in the future. Some citizens continue to argue about the huge expense of the current security, but it clearly protects the country as a whole. As an individual, security has a purpose throughout everyday lives’ because it ensures each citizens’ safety. America is safer now than before 9/11 because of new federal agencies to enforce safety against terrorists and the money spent towards higher levels of security.

In the coming future the use and application of Information Operations are going to be necessary in order to ensure that the legitimacy of the United States operations in both the military and national security applications are reinforced. (Richter 2009, 1) The need for Information Operations has been seen throughout the history of the operations themselves, and has led to many successes as well as some failures in their use. (Richter 2009, 1) What has a greater reaching importance to the future regarding Information Operations, are the enemies that are being faced today as well as the potential future. Counterinsurgency operations have become a large encompassing operational threat seen in the past decade as well as the Vietnam War. What has

Abstract: The theoretical and qualitative research findings discussed in this paper support the claim that the cases of Aldrich Ames and Edward Snowden led to monumental changes in U.S. national security and foreign policy. The effects of these cases extend beyond domestic change and have instigated international repercussions in both intelligence practices and diplomatic relations between the United States and multiple countries. Moreover, research acquired from journals, academic books, congressional documents, and scholarly articles will be used to strengthen the argument that the ramifications of whistleblowing and espionage in the Information Age have heightened the potential for damage to U.S. foreign relations and national security.

In light of this, it should be mentioned that “the US strategy for winning the Global War on Terrorism is predicated on creating an international environment inhospitable to terrorists and all those who support them” (Fogarty 2001). Meaning, that the fight against terrorism heavily relies on international cooperation. In order to achieve such a feat, nevertheless, America must be amiable by fellow governments and their citizens. Unfortunately, the reports and findings on GTMO makes it increasingly difficult for the American administration to do so, for the inhumane treatment makes citizens of other countries upset. Quoting General Colin Powell, people from other nation states are "beginning to doubt the moral basis of our fight against terrorism" (Duberstein as cited in Washington Monthly 2008). This proves to be an immense hindrance to the war, as America cannot hope to face all of the world’s terrorists alone. To put this in perspective, one can take a look at the situation with Turkey and Russia. Earlier this year, a Russian jet was shot down by Turkey, having flown into the latter 's airspace without permission (BBC 2015). Granted, there lies in factors such as the decades long animosity between the two countries. Albeit, who’s to say that America’s relations with countries will never reach such lows? Rather, previous Secretary of Defence Chuck Hagel says that “one of the greatest long-term dangers America faces is that we are now mistrusted by many nations, even our

Given in today’s society, our national security is constantly threatened with outside forces. The United States is to be considered The Melting Pot of the world, that’s where our national security is threatened the most. Despite that, our security is threatened every day by illegal transportation of goods, illegal immigrants, and even terrorism. It’s even more concerning that many people that are in need of a place of a sanctuary aren’t able to be accepted into the United States. In recent news, the U.S. graciously accepted an estimation of 10,000 Syrian refugees. This helps strengthen the meaning of our country. However, this also creates the threat of a possible breach in our safety, due to the recent terrorist attacks in Paris and Lebanon.
