NORTHCOM’s Area of Responsibility (AOR) unique Principally due to inclusion of U.S. homeland within the AOR and heightened interest of

domestic authorities in enhancing security Poses different political, operational, organizational, and communications challenges for a

unified combatant commander Challenges will create increasing pressure for development of new relationships involving

increased interaction with numerous federal, state, local, and non-government entities These relationships will transcend all aspects of NORTHCOM mission spectrum

POLITICAL

• Heightened domestic U.S. interest within States

• Interagency interaction

• Operates when asked or when directed

OPERATIONAL

• 54 States and Territories

• Legal constraints (i.e. federal and state laws)

• C2 of Total Force

• SA/Info Sharing/Intel

COMMUNICATIONS

• No chain of communication est. with all players

• With State TAGs

• Disparate State methods

ORGANIZATIONAL

• Will need to organize along functional rather than traditional lines

• Interagency under reorganization so support to LFA requirements may change

Missile Threat to Airliners

Man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) are a significant threat – especially in some overseas locations Several attacks in the past few years indicate terrorists intend to target

commercial airlines; Commercial airlines present inviting targets; and Most commercial carriers have readily identifiable national markings,

they are relatively slow moving, have no self-protection systems, and their destruction would have psychological as well as economic aftereffects

Protection of commercial airliners from MANPADS is primarily a Transportation Security Administration responsibility

DoD does have significant expertise and potentially useful technologies that could be applied to this challenge

Since last year, HSC and NSC have been leading an Interagency MANPADS Task Force to develop recommendations to the President on how to deal with the MANPADS threat
