During large-scale emergencies or disasters, National Guard forces
regularly operate alongside Active Component forces in response to
requests from civil authorities. In an attempt to promote unity of
effort between state-controlled National Guard and Active Component
forces, states and the Department of Defense agreed to use dual
status commanders-military commanders authorized by law to serve in
both state and federal statuses simultaneously-as the primary
command and control mechanism during unplanned incident response
operations. This unique command arrangement was used for the first
time in response to an unplanned incident during Hurricane Sandy in
October 2012. Though the arrangement worked well in many ways,
there are definitely opportunities for improvement.
