NORTHCOM: NAU Martial Law Appartus By 2020

NORTHCOM: NAU Martial Law Appartus By 2020
By Lee Rogers - IntelStrike Contributing Writer

The commander of NORAD and USNORTHCOM General Victor E. Renaurt recently made public a 10 page document called Vision 2020 which outlines strategic goals for both NORAD and USNORTHCOM leading up to the year 2020. The document advocates strengthening relations with Canada Command, developing a closer relationship with Mexico’s armed forces and establishing an effective continental defense against assorted threats. The focus of the Vision 2020 document is on protecting the continental perimeter of North America and not the United States. Even more disturbing is that the document also outlines goals to provide timely and effective support for civil authorities in the wake of catastrophic events through the integration of USNORTHCOM’s resources. Essentially, they are envisioning the role of USNORTHCOM by 2020 to serve as a North American martial law apparatus that will have operational integration with current civil and military authorities in Canada, Mexico and the United States. One of the vision statements of the Vision 2020 document states the following.

We must constantly challenge “the way it is” in favor of “the way it ought to be.” As we look to the year 2020, we ensure success by creating, refining and transforming our operations as necessary to achieve unity of effort and unity of results. Innovation is key, as we continually reevaluate our processes, procedures and organizations, ensuring all efforts lead effectively to the best possible defense and security of our homelands. Our charter is clear—we must actively seek and aggressively advocate solutions that serve the best collective interests of national security and continental defense.

Why do they talk about continental defense? This question is answered later in the document when it lists the partners that NORAD and USNORTHCOM hopes to rely upon in the future. The next two paragraphs are taken from the document describing the partners that NORAD and USNORTHCOM hope to work with.
