Homeland Security - Forming Public-to-Private Partnerships
Active military call it the CIA or "Central Intelligence" agency. Around the world, Homeland Security agencies, local law enforcement and community leaders are forming recon teams called VIPER squads trained to collect "visual intelligence of persons and the environment anytime there is an actual or perceived terrorist' threat. Click here to learn what veterans are doing to centralize threat intelligence in the private sector.
Emergency governments call them "Emergency Medical Technicians" (EMTs) and "Critical Incident Response Teams (CIRTS).  Active military call them Medics and MASH unites "Mobile Assistance Surgical Hospitals." Civilians and call them First Responders or "fire fighters." While all share similar missions, Katrina and 9-11 proved they don't all speak the same language, follow the same response protocols, or train to the same level of performance. National and international efforts have been made in the public sector to adopt the "National Incident Management System" (NIMS) as the internationally recognized response language of choice and the "Incident Command System" (ICS) as the national performance standard for law enforcement, fire fighters, and emergency governments. There is a growing move in the private sector to encourage the business sector and school administrators to learn NIMS and adopt the Incident Command System. Veterans are embedded at all levels of both the public and private sectors. Click here to learn about the "Public-to-Private partnership veterans are forming to combat terrorism and prepare our homeland for the next natural disaster, pandemic, or large scale community crisis.
