2011 Domestic Operational Law Handbook for Judge Advocates - WMD, CBRNE, Civil Disturbance, National Incident Management System (NIMS), Posse Comitatus, Special Events, Rules for Use of Forces

The Domestic Operational Law (DOPLAW) Handbook for Judge Advocates is a product of the Center for Law and Military Operations (CLAMO). Its content is derived from statutes, Executive Orders and Directives, national policy, DoD Directives, joint publications, service regulations and field manuals, and lessons learned by judge advocates and other practitioners throughout federal and state government. This edition includes a substantial revision of Chapter 3, it incorporates new guidance as set for forth Department of Defense Directive 3025.18, Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA), it provides amplifying information on wildfire response, emergency mutual assistance compacts, the role of the National Guard and Army units such as Army North and Joint Task Force—Civil Support, and it discusses the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

The Handbook is designed to serve as a working reference and training tool for judge advocates. However, this Handbook is not a substitute for independent research. With the exception of footnoted doctrinal material, the information contained in this Handbook is not doctrine. Judge Advocates advising in this area of the law should monitor developments in domestic operations closely as the landscape continues to evolve.

What all DOMOPS contingencies have in common is that each is unique in some or many respects. What DOMOPS contingencies and DOPLAW have in common is that no other activity in which members of the military legal community engage so reflects the constitutionally-based character and structure of the nation we serve. The Department of Homeland Security's National Response Framework, which superseded the National Response Plan, DoD authorities and policies regarding defense support of civil authorities, and other DOMOPS authorities, policies, and doctrine reflect fundamental principles of federalism by establishing protocols that place the Federal government in a supporting role to state and local authorities for most response contingencies.
