Military Expands Homeland Efforts
Pentagon to Share Data With Civilian Agencies

A new Pentagon strategy for securing the U.S. homeland calls for
expanded U.S. military activity not only in the air and sea -- where the
armed forces have historically guarded approaches to the country -- but
also on the ground and in other less traditional, potentially more
problematic areas such as intelligence sharing with civilian law
enforcement.
The strategy is outlined in a 40-page document, approved last month,
that marks the Pentagon's first attempt since the attacks of Sept. 11,
2001, to present a comprehensive plan for defending the U.S. homeland.
