Summary:

In response to the increased focus on homeland security, on October 1, 2002, DOD activated a new combatant command, Northern Command or NORCOM. At the same time, Congress and the Administration are working to create a new statutory Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Exactly how DOD and a new DHS will establish and maintain coordination and cooperation remains to be seen.
