This week, you will provide a comprehensive summary of the specific elements of the National Southwest Border Counter-narcotics (NSWBCN) Strategy, offering an executive overview of the 10 chapters. In your assignment, identify the relevant supporting ligaments of the policy that directly or indirectly support state-level protection and preparedness.
Building on your case study scenario, craft a 2-page memorandum to the governors of the border states that you have determined to have homeland security equities on the Southwest border (SWB). Be sure to include the following:
Page 1: You should outline the specific chapters of the NSWBCN Strategy.
Page 2: You should explain how their contents and supporting language might support their state-level objectives and serve as potential justification for requesting federal grants or congressional appropriations.
Include useful bibliographic references.
Section 6: National Response and Resilience
This week, you will draw from your case study to explain the nexus of the SWB and the associated risks and vulnerabilities to a critical infrastructure (CI) protection plan. Identify what policies and procedures should be in place within the inter-agency to ensure the appropriate response and resilience given the multi-thread environment that exists at the SWB.
Drawing from the case study and relevant themes in the NSWBCN Strategy, draft a 2-page policy proposal that includes the following:
Page 1: Explain how SWB-related critical infrastructure protection (CIP), response, and resilience imperatives should be fully integrated into future versions of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) strategies and policies.
Page 2: Make general recommendations that would be appropriate for DHS planners to consider when updating these documents.
Include useful bibliographic references.
