FOREWORD
We are in a dynamic period in the evolution of the Department of Defense (DoD) counterdrug (CD) support missions. The probability is high that the number and diversity of counterdrug mission requirements will increase. Lessons learned from a variety of missions conducted by the Active and Reserve Component units in the past two years provide the framework for counterdrug planning Armywide.
This document is intended to generate interest and professional discussion among those who read it. This newsletter provides:
- An overview of national strategy, the DoD mission, and the Army's role in supporting the national strategy.
- An explanation of relevant legal considerations, such as Title 10 and Title 32, U.S. Code, and the Posse Comitatus Act.
- A listing of commands and agencies that are assigned the mission of coordinating counterdrug support.
- Highlights on general lessons.
This newsletter is designed to provide a general understanding of the CD framework for military support to Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) CD operations. As the Army leadership realigns priorities from the European theater, CD support must be integrated as a viable mission and should assume a higher priority across the total force.
If you have, or your unit has, identified any CD lessons, share them with the rest of the Army by sending them to the address provided under CUSTOMER SERVICE or by telephoning commercial (913) 684-3839/3284 or DSN 552-3839/3284.
