Department of Homeland Security
The National Strategy for Homeland Security and the Homeland Security Act of
2002 served to mobilize and organize our nation to secure the homeland from
terrorist attacks. This exceedingly complex mission requires a focused effort
from our entire society if we are to be successful. To this end, one primary
reason for the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security was to
provide the unifying core for the vast national network of organizations and
institutions involved in efforts to secure our nation. In order to better do
this and to provide guidance to the 180,000 DHS men and women who work every day
on this important task, the Department developed its own high-level strategic
plan. The vision and mission statements, strategic goals and objectives provide
the framework guiding the actions that make up the daily operations of the
department. (Visit website)
