research and reasoning as to why the homeland security mission shifted will be detailed
including the national security strategies implemented to protect the United States. The
emergency management cycle, legal framework, policy development, acts, laws, preparedness
directives, executive orders and the case law that helped shape homeland security within each
period will be discussed. Applicable Biblical concepts and passages will also be incorporated to
this analysis.
