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

This four-week course for military commanders, legal advisors and their civilian counterparts 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 addresses aspects of military support and cooperation with civil authorities (i.e., law enforcement, disaster relief, border security, counter-trafficking and combating armed gangs) and other domestic operations. LADSCA studies the COVID-19 pandemic and highlights the interagency challenges of coordination and cooperation in a domestic and international exercise embedded throughout the course. LADSCA will take part in cultural familiarization activities under the DIILS Field Studies Program (FSP) in Newport, Boston and New York City.
