The terrorist attacks of September 11th proved that American Homeland Defense is inadequate. Many proposals have been offered to solve the Command and Control arrangement for the Maritime portion of Homeland Defense, but each is hampered by organizational prejudices and therefore lack sufficient unity of effort to ensure successful mission accomplishment. In order to successfully deter terrorism and meet the operational goals of Maritime Homeland Defense, an integrated Command and Control structure must be established. The commander must have access to a fused intelligence picture that incorporates all sources of intelligence. Once the commander is provided this Maritime Domain Awareness, the assets must not only be in place to act on the intelligence, but the commander must have sufficient control over those forces for execution of the Maritime Homeland Defense mission.
