2. Briefing Overview • Background • CST Mission and Locations • Unit Organization and Equipment • Training • Employment and Deployment • Questions

3. Background • Oklahoma City bombing April 1995: Focus was increasing on Nation’s ability to respond to Domestic terrorism • Presidential Decision Directive 39, June 1995: Federal Responsibilities to combat terrorism • Presidential Decision Directive 62, May 1998: “crisis management” and rapidly deployable interagency teams in response to crisis generated by a terrorist attack • National Security Strategy; Defense Reform Initiative Directive #25: • Directed Military to maintain augmentation forces for WMD • Deputy SECDEF approved the integration of reserve forces and “charged DoD with support of domestic consequence management” • Congress Directed and funded DoD “to provide Direct Support to the 1st Responders”
