  DEFENSE SUPPORT OF CIVIL AUTHORITIES
  4-29. Defense support of civil authorities is support provided by U.S. Federal military forces, DOD civilians,
  DOD contract personnel, DOD component assets, and National Guard forces (when the Secretary of Defense,
  in coordination with the Governors of the affected States, elects and requests to use those forces in Title 32,
  United States Code, status). This support is in response to requests for assistance from civil authorities for
  domestic emergencies, law enforcement support, and other domestic activities, or from qualifying entities
  for special events. Defense support of civil authorities is a task that takes place only in the homeland,
  although some of its tasks are similar to stability tasks. Table 4-5 identifies defense support of civil
  authorities, tasks, purposes, and key medical considerations. For additional information on these types of
  tasks, refer to ADP 3-28.
