Q What role, if any, should the uniformed active military have in responding to acts of terror on American soil? Is this the proper role for the military? The Bush Administration has relied heavily upon National Guard and military reserve units in protecting the homeland. It is likely—indeed probable—that National Guard units would be used in responding to future acts of terrorism. Given the strains placed upon the National Guard, recommend how the Guard’s functions could be amended or expanded in a way that complements other First Responders. If you believe that no changes are needed, explain your position.
