Assignment Task:
Analyze this week's readings, what were the specific factors that led to the creation of a Department of Homeland Security? As you write the answer consider the following questions:
1. Do you think the departments creation is supported by our founding documents (For example, was it the intent of the framers of the constitution?) If so, why? If not, why not?
2. What is your understanding of the current stage of evolution of the homeland security mission-space (not academic) and its fundamental elements? How does it fit into the national preparedness cycle?
3. Given your current understanding of the stage of evolution of the homeland security mission-space, what type of leadership skills are needed at all levels of the homeland security enterprise.
