Department of Homeland Security, Foundational Operating Concept - Unified Effort
Department of Homeland Security, Foundational Operating Concept - Unified Effort : "Unified Effort is the combination and integration of Federal, State, local, and tribal governments and organizations; the private sector; and international partners' operations and investments to plan, prepare, coordinate, execute, and assess those actions necessary to prevent, protect, respond, and recover from threats to the citizens, infrastructure and homeland of the United States. "The concept of Unified Effort defines the way DHS operates both internally and within the broader homeland security environment; it binds the operations of its components as well as the approach DHS takes in working with its partners from across the community. Unified Effort allows DHS to expand its strengths, compensate for its weaknesses, and provide depth in delivering capabilities to meet homeland security challenges. "Unified Effort is an operational concept applied to all DHS missions. The unique roles and missions of the DHS components, as well as the State, local and tribal governments, and the private sector, require coordination and cooperation in planning and executing for the range of homeland operations. Unified Effort ensures a precision of roles and a clear understanding of who does what in each situation". (DHS, Chapter 2, Capstone Doctrine Pub 1 Draft, 2008, 2)
