Legal Aspects of Defense Support of Civil Authorities (LADSCA) (MASL P176042)

The three-week LADSCA course promotes Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) that is consistent with democratic rule of law, protection of human rights and reasonable use of force.  It will cover different aspects of military support to and cooperation with civil authorities (i.e., law enforcement, disaster relief, border security, counter-trafficking and combating armed gangs) and other domestic operations.  LADSCA will also cover legal, operational, and policy aspects of rules of engagement and rules for the use of force.

The objective is to promote the responsible and effective use of defense resources in support of civilian police and emergency response authorities and to enhance the capability of partner nations to plan for and receive humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HA/DR) from the United States and other donor nations.

This course will be presented by experienced U.S. and international practitioners who will relate their experience and best practices for a variety of emergency situations.

Participants visit New York City, where they have an opportunity to meet with United Nations and local civil authorities experts.  They will also take part in cultural familiarization activities in Newport, RI and New York City under the DIILS Field Studies Program (FSP).
