The Difference between Homeland Security and Homeland Defense
excerpt from: 


www.cdi.org/terrorism/homelandsecurity.cfm

The two main areas of focus reflect the distinction sometimes made between "homeland security" and "homeland defense." Homeland security is often used as a broader term than homeland defense - homeland defense usually refers somewhat more narrowly to preventing and defeating attacks, while homeland security also includes the functions of handling the consequences of attacks that get through defenses, largely using civilian and local agencies. 

A broad definition of homeland security missions could include: 

- Land, sea, and air defense of the United States 
- "Consequence management" - dealing with the effects of attacks by weapons of mass destruction, including military support to civilian authority 
- National missile defense 
- Computer network defense 
- Counter-terrorism operations 
- Counter-drug operations 
- Immigration control and border security. 

Army Secretary Thomas White, the Defense Department (DoD) executive agent for Homeland Defense, has noted regarding DoD, "We're not the lead agency for the homeland security task."1 The armed forces do have a role in dealing with the consequences of attacks, but it is a supporting role to other agencies, in contrast with its primary role in homeland defense. Likewise, the armed forces have been playing a role in border security for the "drug war," but their role is in support to agencies like the Coast Guard, the Customs Service, and the Border Patrol. 

Restructuring proposals are focused on what re-organization might be necessary government-wide and also within the military. To improve coordination of all government efforts relating to homeland security, President George W. Bush has already established a new Office of Homeland Security headed by former Gov. Tom Ridge. Vice Adm. (Ret.) Arthur Cebrowski has been appointed by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to head military efforts to "transform" force structure to better meet future threats including terrorism.
