UNITED WE STAND - DIVIDED WE FALL!  Uncle Sam is calling us to come together and stand mission-ready to protect and defend our homeland during the next terrorist attack, natural disaster, pandemic, or large scale community crisis!

This site was created to support an ongoing Homeland Security R&D project focused creating a "unified" private sector response to any large scale community crisis. The project began on the first anniversary of the 9-11-2001 terrorist attacks and will continue through 9-11-2009.

Affective 1-1-08 www.VFWPost8337.com will be used to launch all future private-sector ICS training, veteran' R&D projects, and private sector emergency response testing protocols.

This site will be parked until further notice. I recommend veterans who do not have access to the VFW web network use the new Veteran County Services Offers' website at www.wicuso.org.

Continue to use the law enforcement, fire department, and emergency government web sites you've been linked through throughout this site. My compliments to all county web site developers for the excellent job they've done to create such user friendly sites. I will continue to link your sites to our tutorials and international standards manuals for private sector first responders. Following are goals outlined in our 2008 - 2009 mission statement for our private sector ICS projects.

  • Write private-sector emergency response protocols for natural and man-made disasters, pandemics, and terrorist attacks.
  • Develop and maintain private-sector mutual-aide and multi-agency task force agreements.
  • Develop and promote Incident Command and Control (ICS) and National Incident Management System (NIMS) performance standards in the private-sector.
  • Create cost affective table top testing protocols for private-sector VIPER and Critical Incident Response Teams.
  • Write private-sector ICS Basic-training manuals.
  • Promote private-sector Contingency Planning, Event Planning, and Critical Incident Management performance standard.
  • Provide briefings for US veterans on HLS Operations!

Attention Door County Veterans! 

All Door County veterans should become familiar with the veteran organization websites above and to the right as well as the local Door County "Public Sector" web sites below! Just point and click on these links. As part of our five year Homeland Security R&D project, I created a temporary website for each veteran post in Door County. I'll leave them on the web as "static" sites post commanders can use as they see fit. As of 1/1/08, I will only be updating Liberty Grove VFW Post 8337 at www.VFWWebcom.org.wi.post8337 on a weekly basis. I'll update this site quarterly as it will be primarily used to link Door County veterans to local websites of interest to veterans.  

During the next phase of our Homeland Security R&D projects we'll focus on Tri-County, Tri Chapter, District, State, National and International Homeland Security Partnerships (HLS-Ps) supported by mutual aid agreements and managed by joint commands and "unified" Incident Command Systems. Veterans are encouraged to learn basic computer and internet navigation skills and become familiar with all Door County Public and Private Sector websites linked to this and other Homeland Security website! I realize there are many such sites and all benefit our national security, so if you know of any that should be linked to this site please call our VFW Post 8337 cell number 920-559-7665 and leave me a voice message. I'll do my best to post the links you recommend. Use the following sites and sites linked to "About US"  to practice your navigation skills.     

The websites below were created to support a study of Homeland Security Public-to-Private Partnerships. They will remain as "static" sites until no longer needed sometime in 2009!

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).
