OBJECTIVES:
Understand homeland security funding
Deeper understanding of how DHS spends these funds
HOMELAND SECURITY FUNDING
www.GTSCoalition.com
Homeland security is defined as those activities that detect, deter, protect against, and respond to terrorist acts occurring within the United States and its territories.
This includes: counterterrorism efforts, protection of civilians and critical infrastructure and assets, and
emergency preparedness and response.
HOMELAND SECURITY DEFINED
www.GTSCoalition.com
Priorities and funding are based on the National Strategy for Homeland Security re-issued in 2007
NATIONAL STRATEGY
FULL REPORT IS AVAILABLE AT:http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/nat_strat_homelandsecurity_2007.pdf
Funding For Homeland Security Grew Substantially For Much Of The Past Decade But Has Recently Declined
• Funding for homeland security has dropped somewhat from its 2009 peak of $76 billion, in inflation-adjusted terms; funding for 2012 totaled $68 billion.
• Pre-9/11, the U.S. spent $12.1 billion
• The allocation of homeland security funding among the various federal agencies has remained relatively constant since 2005.
HOMELAND SECURITY TRENDS
Source: Congressional Budget Office
Homeland Security Funding Is Organized To Meet Four Strategic Goals outlined in the National Strategy for Homeland Security:
1. Prevent and disrupt terrorist attacks; (48%)2. Protect the American people, critical infrastructure, and key
resources; (43%)3. Respond to and recover from incidents; (9%)and4. Continue to strengthen the homeland security foundation.
(The fourth goal is very broad and does not receive explicit funding.)
FOUR STRATEGIC GOALS
Source: Congressional Budget Office
The National Strategy identified six specific homeland security missions derived from those strategic goals.
• Border and transportation• Protecting critical infrastructure and key assets• Emergency preparedness and response • Domestic counterterrorism • Defending against catastrophic threats• Intelligence and warning
HOMELAND MISSION AREAS

Although every Cabinet-level department receives homeland security funding, approximately 85 percent of the requested funding would be allocated to four departments:
• Department of Homeland Security (DHS—$35.9B, or 49 percent of the total homeland security request);
• Department of Defense (DoD—$17.4B, or 24 percent);• Department of Health and Human Services (HHS—$4.7
billion or 6 percent); and• Department of Justice (DOJ—$4.2 billion or 6 percent).

DHS STRUCTURE TODAY
Funding for DHS spans all six homeland security missions, but the majority of that funding is for border and transportation security, accounting for 88% or $24.6B in 2014 across Customs and Border Protection, the Transportation Security Administration and the Coast Guard.
Four DHS agencies—Customs and Border Protection, the Transportation Security Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Coast Guard—are designated to receive almost all of the funds in support of that mission.

CBP FUNDING
CBP is responsible for securing America’s borders against terrorist threats, while facilitating legitimate travel, trade, and immigration. This critical mission is carried out by CBP’s personnel, as well as the use of intelligence, targeting, technology, infrastructure, and a broad range of other assets and capabilities. CBP also partners with Federal, State, local, tribal, and international stakeholders to perform its mission.

TSA FUNDING
TSA’s mission is to maximize transportation security in response to evolving threats while protecting passengers’ privacy and facilitating the flow of legal commerce. TSA’s specific responsibilities include ensuring effective and efficient screening of all air passengers, baggage, and cargo on passenger planes.
FY 2014 Budget Request: $7.4B
Gross Discretionary: $7.1B
Mandatory Fees & Trust Fund: $255M

ICE FUNDING
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is the principal investigative arm of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the second-largest investigative agency in the Federal Government. Created in 2003, through a merger of the U.S. Customs Service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service, ICE has more than 19,000 employees in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and 48 foreign countries.
FY 2014 Budget Request: $5.3B
Gross Discretionary: $5B
Mandatory Fees & Trust Fund: $3M

COAST GUARD FUNDING
The Coast Guard remains the principal Federal agency responsible for maritime safety, security, and environmental stewardship in U.S. ports and inland waterways, along the coasts, and on the high seas. As one of the five Armed Services of the United States, the Coast Guard is the only military organization within DHS. Unlike the other services in the DOD, the Coast Guard is also a law enforcement and regulatory agency with broad domestic legal authorities.
The Coast Guard's FY 2014 budget priorities are:
• Build essential coast guard capability for the Nation
• Strengthen resource and operational stewardship
• Sustain the most critical front-line operations
FY 2014 Budget Request: $9.8B
Net Discretionary: $7.9B
Mandatory Fees & Trust Fund: $1.8B
Sources:U.S. Department of Homeland SecurityU.S. Coast Guard Fact Sheet
Because of laws, policies, and custom, the military’s involvement in domestic operations and law enforcement is limited.
DoD and the military services tend to focus their homeland security efforts on protecting infrastructure that is essential for U.S. military operations from terrorist attack and preparing to help civil authorities if asked.
Almost 80 percent of DoD’s homeland security funding would be for either military personnel or operation and maintenance.
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

HHS receives much less homeland security funding than DHS and DoD. However, funding for HHS supports the missions of:
defending against catastrophic threats (mainly developing medical countermeasures against biological, chemical, or radiological weapons)
emergency preparedness and response (mainly providing medical supplies, equipment, and personnel in order to respond to a catastrophic health event).

DOJ’s main homeland security mission is counterterrorism, primarily conducted by the FBI, whose mission is to investigate major threats to the United States.
