Homeland defense is a basic function of our government, and has
been since the colonial era. Over 100 years before our Constitution
established as a fundamental responsibility of government to
"provide for the common defense," American colonial leaders
recognized the need for a homeland defense capability and
established colonial militias to fight both internal and external
threats. As the U.S. grew in economic and political power, our
homeland defense needs changed, as well. By the 20th century,
homeland defense encompassed not only defense of U.S. territory and
population, but overseas possessions, access to critical lines of
communication, natural resources, and trade. The Cold War again
qualitatively and quantitatively changed the concept of homeland
defense.
