ABOUT HOMELAND DEFENSE

The United States and its allies face a number of new and difficult security challenges in the coming millennium. While 
past threats came from other states and were primarily aimed at U.S. forces or allies overseas, new challenges --- such 
as the proliferation of missiles and weapons of mass destruction, terrorism, and attacks on our information 
infrastructure --- may well involve non-state actors and has directly affected security at home. We will have to 
rethink basic policies, federal and state organization for national security, and the allocation of resources to meet 
both old and new defense tasks.
