The Pentagon should formally refocus the National Guard's primary mission to homeland security, specifically consequence management. This organization should function as the Department of Defense's (DoD's) lead agency for this critical task, and DoD should permanently assign National Guard forces to NORTHCOM for contingency execution. The current National Guard has two roles: one as the constitutional militia in all states, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the District of Columbia, and Guam; and the other as Reserve Components of the Army and the Air Force. The 21st Century threat presents unique challenges to America's security establishment and necessitates an update to the mission assigned to our National Guard forces. Current DoD initiatives to maintain Cold War Roundout/Affiliation Programs and redesign traditional divisional organizations into deployable brigades ignores the Guard's traditional mandate to protect the homeland.
