Affective 1-1-08 this
site will be a static site not updated on a regular basis!
I thank Door County law enforcement, emergency government,
fire fighters, and a list of public sector Homeland Security
professionals too long to mention without fear of missing
someone, for they're cooperation throughout our five year
Homeland Security R&D project. Their providing us a front row seat
during tests, teaching us not only what they do but how they
accomplish each mission, and sharing their best and worst
practices, all added value to our research and validity to our
conclusions.
While the Door County's public sector represented less
than 2% of the total US counties studied, their
contribution to our research will be well represented in the
emergency response and recovery case studies, tutorials,
policies, procedures, and protocols we're creating for the
US private sector; not to mention our International Credit Union
Risk Management Performance Standards Manual.
As part of Phase VI of a 10 year Homeland
Security Research and Development project focused on building
public-to-private emergency response protocols, this site will
be parked in the R&D library at
www.RMLearningCenter.com while its
merged into the National VFW website system and the
International Credit Union Risk Management network. Credit union
Risk Managers should go through their Chapter and League
officials to gain access to RM and HLS R&D files and
research paper. Phase VI through Phase X will finalizing
international RM performance standards in the International
Credit Union Movement and launching "Private Sector" emergency
response protocols through veteran organizations to include, but
not limited to, the Veterans Of Foreign Wars (VFW), the American
Legion (AL), the American Veterans (AMVETs), and The Marine Corp
League.
State of our project mission - January 1,
2008!
Al-Qaida terrorists continue to recruit
disgruntled citizens from both the public and private sector of
societies around the world. They've franchised operations
through a network of extreme political factions who share their
political ideology and support their cause. They continue to use
the internet to reach employees holding key positions within the
business community, specifically in banks, credit unions, and
similar financial institutions. Once contact has been made,
terrorist actively look for any opportunity to extort,
intimidate, or coerce employees into joining their cause and
supporting their avowed goal to disrupt the economic
infrastructure of a community, region, or country. Terrorist
target' objectives include a maximum body count, vulnerable
secondary targets, maximum disruption of communication links,
and forced housing-in-place or mass evacuations. Their strategic
plan includes using any violent act, natural or man-made
disaster, pandemic, or large scale community crisis as a trigger
and "cover" for future attacks.
Theater of Operation - Strategic Action Plan -
2008
Terrorist are primarily targeting the economic
infrastructure of any country that does not accept their
political, social, moral, or ethical ideology. Consequently, our
"theater of operation" is the world and the world credit union
movement will provide an organizational structure through which
we'll teach "Incident Command and Control" at a regional level,
provide basic Risk Management training, and promote
international performance standards for local, chapter, and
regional "Critical Incident Response Teams (CIRTs) and an
intelligence collection network known as VIPER squads (Visual
Intelligence of Persons and the Environment Recon Squads).
