This article examines President Bush’s request, in September 2005, that Congress consider whether the U.S. military should be granted broader responsibility and authority during catastrophic incident response, perhaps even shifting Lead Federal Agency (LFA) responsibility from the Department of Homeland Security to the Department of Defense (DOD).
