Abstract:

During a period of declining defense budgets, political and military leaders are attempting to involve the military in the non-traditional military missions of support to civilian law enforcement and counterdrugs. This push is driven by a desire to stem defense reductions by providing a service to current domestic problems. In reality, the effect of these involvements would not be the preservation of resources for combat capability but rather the loss of readiness, resources and morale.
