Homeland Security began at the national level in the United States after the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001. The concept can be extended to the very basic level of protecting literal homesteads. This paper explores the application of Systems of System concepts developed by the United States’ Department of Defense (DoD) to the problem of homestead defense at the homestead level. It outlines the problem, the applications of the DoD concept, the selected solution, and the results and recommendations.

In Zeiten knapper Kassen und sinkender Budgets gab das US-Verteidigungsministerium 2001 bekannt, zukünftig verstärkt das Konzept der „Performance-based Logistics“ (PBL) zur Verschlankung der militärischen Supply Chain einzusetzen. Bestärkt durch die bisherigen Erfolge im angelsächsischen Raum, findet der Ansatz mittlerweile auch in Europa große Beachtung. Der vorliegende Beitrag verfolgt das Ziel, den PBL-Begriff zu erläutern und den Innovationsgehalt des Konzepts kritisch zu hinterfragen. Darauf aufbauend gelingt die Identifikation von Anwendungspotenzialen in der zivilen Logistik. In 2001, when money was tight and budgetary resources limited, the United States Department of Defense announced the further implementation of “Performance-based Logistics” (PBL), a concept which was supposed to streamline the military supply chain. After some quite impressive success stories in the Anglo-Saxon world, the concept now attracts some interest in Europe. Therefore, this article pursues the goal of answering the following three questions: (1) What does PBLactually stand for? (2) What is the innovative contribution of the concept? (3) What potentials exist for the application of PBL in civil logistics? Keywords: performance based logistics

In September 2007, the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published the National Preparedness Guidelines which advocate a capabilitiesbased planning (CBP) approach to preparedness for state, local, and tribal governments. This article provides an overview of capabilities-based planning and a more specific focus on the aims, objectives, and components of the DHS CBP model. The article also summarizes what scholars have previously suggested are fundamental elements for successful emergency and disaster planning focusing specifically on Quarantelli’s 10 research-based principles. The article evaluates the effectiveness of the DHS CBP model in helping local governments incorporate these fundamental elements into their planning efforts and concludes with an overall assessment of the DHS CBP model as a framework for local planning success.
