Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the Department of Homeland Security, the consolidation of 22 previously incongruent domestic agencies after the events of September 11, 2001 into one department whose sole job is to protect the nation against threats to Americans. It examines its history, hierarchy and current programs as well as its budgeting and its future. It looks at how especially due to the current, escalated climate in American politics, the structure, operation and future of the DHS are critical to the safety of all Americans. This paper includes footnotes and detailed appendixes A through H.

From the Paper:

"The hierarchy within the Department of Homeland Security is rigorously outlined , illustrating a clear and concise chain of command. This strict hierarchy is necessary because of the many components included within the Department as a whole. The chain begins with Secretary Tom Ridge. Ridge was sworn in shortly after the attacks of September 11th and was confronted with the difficult task of working with over 180,000 employees from combined agencies in order to develop and carry out a strategy for the protection of the United States against terrorist attacks."
