Legal Aspects of Combating Terrorism (LCT) (MASL P176028):  The goal of this 3 week course is to explore effective means for combating terrorism within the rule of law, with emphasis on interagency cooperation.  LCT is designed for military officers and civilian officials who are, or plan to be, involved with combating terrorism through law enforcement or military means.  LCT covers the international law that applies to combating terrorism in three contexts: internal disturbances (domestic crime); internal armed conflict (a common tactic of insurgents); and international armed conflict.

Legal Aspects of Defense Support of Civil Authorities (LADSCA) (MASL P176042):  Natural disasters, organized crime and drug trafficking, terrorist threats and civil disturbances can overwhelm the capacity of civilian police and other emergency response agencies.  Many nations naturally turn to their defense forces to provide assistance.  The 3 week LADSCA course will examine how Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) can be provided in ways consistent with democratic rule of law, protection of human rights and reasonable use of force.  LADSCA will also present international legal mechanisms for timely and consent based delivery of Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HA/DR) to nations suddenly struck by disaster.  (NEW for 2014)
