Following the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, the United States focused intently on the security and defense of the U.S. homeland. In the maritime environment this renewed emphasis on protection of the homeland has posed unique and important questions with respect to command and control between the United States Coast Guard and the United States Navy. Are existing command and control relationships appropriate, adequate and effective for addressing maritime homeland security and defense. Are these relationships clearly defined and well understood. Do they need to be modified, and if so, in what manner. Is it possible to draw a distinct line between maritime homeland defense and maritime homeland security. The answers to these questions are of critical concern to operational commanders in both the Navy and the Coast Guard. To find the answers, the services must unify the defense and security missions in the maritime arena and construct a permanent joint command and control structure for maritime homeland security and defense.
