Topic: Future Infantry/Soldier Technology

by David Crane
david@defensereview.com

The following article contains a link to the DREAD Weapon System Video. This is the first time this
video has ever been shown to the public. The DREAD depicted in the video is a functional prototype
that operates on a less-than-lethal mode. This prototype was dismantled for security purposes to
protect the technology, after the making of this video. As of this posting, Defense Review (DefRev) is
the ONLY publication in the WORLD that has any written materials or video footage, or any
information whatsoever, for that matter, on this revolutionary new weapon system.

The Weapon

Imagine a gun with no recoil, no sound, no heat, no gunpowder, no visible firing signature (muzzle
flash), and no stoppages or jams of any kind. Now imagine that this gun could fire .308 caliber and
.50 caliber metal projectiles accurately at up to 8,000 fps (feet-per-second), featured an infinitely
variable/programmable cyclic rate-of-fire (as high as 120,000 rounds-per-minute), and were capable
of laying down a 360-degree field of fire. What if you could mount this weapon on any military
Humvee (HMMWV), any helicopter/gunship, any armored personnel carrier (APC), and any other
vehicle for which the technology were applicable?

That would really be something, wouldn't it? Some of you might be wondering, "how big would it
be", or "how much would it weigh"? Others might want to know what its ammunition capacity
would be. These are all good questions, assuming of course that a weapon like this were actually
possible.

2
According to its inventor, not only is it possible, it’s already happened. An updated version of the
weapon will be available soon. It will arrive in the form of a...tactically-configured pre-production
anti-personnel weapon firing .308 caliber projectiles (accurately) at 2,500-3000 fps, at a
variable/programmable cyclic rate of 5,000-120,000 rpm (rounds-per-minute). The weapon's
designer/inventor has informed DefRev that future versions of the weapon will be capable of
achieving projectile velocities in the 5,000-8,000 fps range with no difficulty. The technology already
exists.

The weapon itself is called the DREAD, or Multiple Projectile Delivery System (MPDS), and it may
just be the most revolutionary infantry weapon system concept that Defense Review has EVER come
across.

The DREAD Weapon System is the brainchild of weapons designer/inventor Charles St. George. It
will be 40 inches long, 32 inches wide, and 3 inches high (20 inches high with the pintel swivel mount).
It will be comprised of only 30 component parts, and will have an empty weight of only 28 pounds.
That's right, 28 pounds. The weapon will be capable of rotating 360 degrees and enjoy the same
elevation and declination capabilities of any conventional vehicle-mounted gun/weapon.

The first generation DREAD (production version), derived from the tactically-configured pre-
production weapon, will most likely be a ground vehicle-mounted anti-personnel weapon. Military
Humvees (HMMWV's) and other ground vehicles (including Chevy Suburbans) equipped with the
DREAD will enjoy magazine capacities of at least 50,000 rounds of .308 Cal., or 10,000 rounds of.50
Cal. ammo.

But, what is the DREAD, really? How does it work? In a sentence, the DREAD is an electrically-
powered centrifuge weapon, or centrifuge "gun". So, instead of using self-contained cartridges
containing powdered propellant (gunpowder), the DREAD's ammunition will be .308 and .50 caliber
round metal balls (steel, tungsten, tungsten carbide, ceramic-coated tungsten, etc...) that will be
literally spun out of the weapon at speeds as high as 8000 fps (give or take a few hundred feet-per-
second) at rather extreme rpm's, striking their targets with overwhelming and devastating firepower.
We're talking about total target saturation, here. All this, of course, makes the DREAD revolutionary
in the literal sense, as well as the conceptual one.

According to the DREAD Advantages Sheet, "unlike conventional weapons that deliver a bullet to the
target in intervals of about 180 feet, the DREAD's rounds will arrive only 30 thousandths of an inch
apart (1/32nd of an inch apart), thereby presenting substantially more mass to the target in much less
time than previously possible." This mass can be delivered to the target in 10-round bursts, or the
DREAD can be programmed to deliver as many rounds as you want, per trigger-pull. Of course, the
operator can just as easily set the DREAD to fire on full-auto, with no burst limiter. On that setting,
the number of projectiles sent down range per trigger-pull will rely on the operator’s trigger control.
Even then, every round is still going right into the target. You see, the DREAD's not just accurate, it's
also recoilless. No recoil. None. So, every "fired" round is going right where you aim it.

One of the ammunition types the DREAD will be delivering downrange is the "Collision Cluster
Round", or "CCR", that will be used to penetrate hard targets. The Collision Cluster Round (CCR)
is explained in more detail on the munitions page of the DREAD Technology White Paper (links
below). The DREAD Advantages Sheet also lists all the other advantages that the DREAD Weapon
System enjoys over conventional firearms.

3
And,all this from a weapon that doesn't jam. Remember how at the beginning of the article I wrote
“no stoppages or jams”? The DREAD won't jam because, according to its inventor, it can’t jam. The
DREAD's operating and feeding mechanisms simply don’t allow for stoppages or jams to occur. It
thus follows that the DREAD Centrifuge Weapon will be the most reliable metallic projectile
launcher/ballistic device on the planet. DefRev is not at liberty to publish exactly why the DREAD
can’t jam, since Mr. St. George hasn’t given us permission to describe the gun’s operating and
feeding mechanisms in any detail.

The only thing the DREAD's operator will really have to worry about is running out of ammo, which
isn’t likely. Any reasonably skilled gunner (Humvee, APC, Apache attack helicopter, etc.--doesn't
matter) should be able to avoid running through all 50,000 (or more) rounds of .308 Cal. or 10,000 (or
more) rounds of .50 Cal. ammo prematurely, especially when he or she can dial down the DREAD's
cyclic rate to 5,000 rpm or slower, if necesssary. Even if it becomes necessary to increase the
DREAD's magazine capacity to upwards of 100,000 rounds (.308 Cal.) or 20,000 rounds (.50 Cal.),
and run the weapon all day and all night for weeks on end, this will have absolutely no effect
whatsoever (positive or negative) on the reliability or durability of the weapon system. The DREAD is
both heatless and frictionless, and doesn’t generate any high pressures. So, there’s virtually no wear
and tear on the system, no matter how many rounds are fired through it back-to-back, even if it's run
constantly on full-auto at 120,000 rpm, the whole time.

Here's the kicker: because it's electrically powered and doesn't use any powdered propellant for its
operation, the DREAD Centrifuge Weapon is virtually silent (no sound signature), except for the
supersonic "crack" of the metal balls breaking the sound barrier when they're launched. This makes
the direction that the rounds are coming from, and their point of origin (firing source), very difficult
for enemy forces to identify. It also allows the operator to communicate easily with his team, or with
his command structure, while he's still firing on the enemy (with the DREAD). With the DREAD, he
won't have to fight to communicate over his own weapon's firing report. And, since the gun doesn't
generate any muzzle flash or heat (it's heatless and frictionless, remember?), it doesn't produce any
flash signature or heat signature. So, identifying the gun itself with IR (infrared) sensors will be
impossible. The vehicle that the DREAD is mounted on is the only thing that will display a heat
signature. That leaves you with a difficult-to-detect/locate weapon with a virtually endless suppy of
ammo. Even if the DREAD-equipped vehicle does get identified and fired upon by the enemy, the risk
of a catastrophic explosion from a bullet strike on the ammunition supply is zero, because the
DREAD’s ammunition doesn’t contain any propellant. There’s no gunpowder onboard to blow up.
That just leaves the gas tank. Nothing’s foolproof.

There's more. Since the DREAD/MPDS (Multiple Projectile Delivery System) is a centrifuge weapon,
projectile velocity can be adjusted instantly back and forth between lethal and less-lethal/non-lethal
modes. This means it can be utilized just as effectively for embassy security and peacekeeping roles.
As an embassy security weapon, the less-lethal/non lethal mode would most likely be the way to go, in
most cases. Less-lethal is usually adequate for any crowd control or riot control situations. However,
let’s say the crowd starts storming the gates, and now presents a lethal threat to the occupants inside.
Well, just pull your Marines inside, switch your remotely-operated battery of DREAD's on over to
lethal mode, and make survival above ground impossible for anyone outside the embassy. No one gets
in. Same thing goes for military base security. Remote DREAD Centrifuge Gun Pods can be outfitted
with heat and motion sensors, and left in unmanned areas. These remote pods can be either human-
operated, or pre-programmed with both less-lethal/non-lethal and lethal protocols that will function
automatically and not even require human operation. Mobile robotic platforms, including remote-
controlled Unmanned Ground Combat Vehicles (UGCV's), could also be outfitted with DREAD
systems. And, the list goes on. The technology application possibilities/potential uses are virtually
endless.

4
So, what’s the upshot? It's Defense Review's opinion that, if the DREAD Weapon System works as
advertised, it will have a profound impact on U.S. infantry warfare capabilities. It has the potential to
literally change the way we fight on the ground, and perhaps even in the air. No question, it will
revolutionize both ground and air vehicular armament and firepower capabilities. The DREAD will
have a similarly profound impact on U.S. embassy security and military base perimeter security
capabilities. This paradigm shift in firepower isn't limited to the ground and air, either. The DREAD's
complete lack of recoil will allow it to be fired from space-based platforms, i.e. satellites, without
knocking them off of their respective orbital paths. Zero recoil, plus 8,000 fps projectile speeds, 5,000-
120,000 rpm capability, and huge on-board ammunition supplies, equals a viable and relatively
inexpensive option for satellite defense (and enemy-satellite neutralization), and possibly even a fast-
realizable armament solution/alternative for a U.S. Space-based defense network.

Beat The Blade

Finally, knife defense you can live with!

As the officer asks for information, the suspect produces a knife.

The officer immediately steps away from the threat, capturing the suspect's waist and moving
his other hand toward the suspect's chin.
The "Fold-over" in action.
A favorable result.
The officer creates distance, while drawing his firearm and assessing the situation.
RICHARD NANCE Defensive Tactics Contributor
Officer.com

When I began learning unarmed knife defense (over 20 years ago), I was taught to defend
against a single, robotic attack using an “X” block followed by a joint manipulation, which
would result in me disarming the cooperative opponent, while earning “style points” in the
process. Unfortunately, this is still the way most knife defense is taught. While this type of
knife defense is certainly crowd-pleasing and ideal for public demonstrations, it contains one
inherent flaw – IT WILL GET YOU KILLED when attempted against a real, unrehearsed
knife attack! Fast-forward 20 years…

After attaining my black belt, earning a position on a police S.W.A.T team, becoming a police
defense tactics Instructor, and spending countless hours studying how real knife attacks occur,
I determined that what is needed is a single technique that can be used against any type of
knife attack. The result is what WARTAC Co-founder, David Hallford and I call the “Fold-
over”.

The “Fold-over” is a simple gross motor technique with almost universal application. It is not
dependent on what specific attack the knife wielder engages with. Best of all, the “Fold-over”
can be learned in minutes and mastered in days rather than years.

Sound too good to be true? Read on and see for yourself.

When facing a suspect armed with a knife in his right hand that slashes from right to left (at
any height and from any angle) or stabs (at any height and from any angle) simply employ the
following tactic:

6
Step forward and to the right at a 45-degree angle with your right leg, while simultaneously
capturing the back of the suspect’s waist with your right hand and forcefully striking his chin
with your left palm. While pulling on the waist, drive your left palm upward. This causes the
suspect to “fold” backward at the waist, hence the name “Fold-over”. (Oh, I should mention
that you should practice this in slow motion initially to prevent your training partner from
being rendered useless for the remainder of the training session). If done correctly, your
training partner should be staring up at you, wondering how he went from aggressively
attacking you with the knife to lying flat on his back, almost instantaneously.

Let’s talk about why this tactic worked so well.

First of all, you were able to respond without hesitation because as soon as your training
partner started to slash inward or stab. You knew what to do. Once you stepped off line of the
attack, you were able to immediately seize your training partner’s waist with your right hand
(the waist is a major pivot point of the human body and when manipulated, immediately
disrupts the body’s balance). While your right hand was off-balancing your partner, your left
hand moved upward, toward the head. By simply moving your left arm in this manner, you
were able to “shield” your body and head from the knife momentarily (you will only need this
“shield” for a split-second because after that it won’t matter).

7
As soon as your left palm connected with the chin, you simply continued to pull the waist
toward you as you forced the chin up and back. This resulted in your partner falling flat on
his back, allowing you to create distance and draw your firearm. That’s all there is to it. I told
you it was simple.

I know, you’re probably asking, “That’s fine, but what do I do if the suspect does an outward
slash or an inward slash with his left hand?” Don’t worry— we have a solution for that, too.

Against a right-handed outward slash or an inward left-handed slash, simply step to your left
at a 45-degree angle with your left leg, while grabbing the back of the suspect’s waist with
your left hand. Use your right palm to drive the suspect’s chin up and back while pulling his
waist toward you. In this case, your right hand is able to deflect and/or “shield” you from the
knife during the process of dropping the suspect to the ground.

8
One of the distinct advantages of the “Fold-over” is that it greatly reduces the number of
split-second decisions you have to make during an attack. Rather than trying to distinguish
from which of the twelve commonly taught angles of attack the knife is coming from, you
simply have to determine if the knife is held in the right or left hand. And, since you’re not
waiting to see the specific type of attack, you are able to respond at the first indication that
the attacker is armed with a knife.

There you have it—one simple, easy to apply technique based on leverage rather than
strength or skill that works against almost any type of knife attack. Keep in mind that during
the execution of this technique, you are moving away from the knife the entire time and you
are not trying to catch up with and control the fast moving knife arm. Also consider the
adage, “Where the head goes, the body follows.” By manipulating the head (and waist), you
are able to completely negate the attack and take the suspect to the ground.

While the preferred method of dealing with a knife attack is to maintain distance and assess
the situation with a drawn firearm, you have to realize that isn’t always possible. When you
don’t have the luxury of time and distance, the “Fold-over” is perhaps, your best alternative
to negate the knife threat and draw your firearm.

Remember that the only way to truly gauge the effectiveness of a technique is to try to make it
fail during training. Therefore, I challenge you to put the “Fold-over” to the test…

$9.5 billion in coke seizures for 2005

Just last fall, the U.S. Coast Guard unloaded approximately 11.5 tons of cocaine
worth about $750 million after interdicting the narcotics at sea.

This seizure marked the final act of the Coast Guard’s second straight record-
breaking year for drug interdictions.

The interdiction was the result of close coordination between Joint Interagency
Task Force South, U.S. Attorney’s office, Panama Express South, DEA, FBI, Bureau
of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection, U.S.
Coast Guard, U.S. Navy, and the Departments of Justice, State and Homeland
Security.

The Coast Guard seized approximately 150 tons of cocaine during the 2005
federal fiscal year beginning October 1, 2004, and ending on September 30, 2005,
which shattered the previous record of 120 tons established during the 2004 fiscal
year.

The street value of the cocaine seized this year is estimated at about $9.5 billion.

These figures include about 93 tons of cocaine seizures, roughly sixty-two percent
of the total, from the eastern Pacific Ocean along the coast of Central and South
America, as well as those conducted in the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico and
along the U.S. Atlantic coast.

The Coast Guard was also one of the big heroes during Katrina, which devastated
large portions of the Gulf states. In New Orleans alone, some say members of the
Coast Guard rescued over 50,000 people who were stranded in the water or on
roof tops, bringing them to a safe place where they could be evacuated.

CSI VOLUNTEERS WANTED
The next Denver crime scene investigations unit to show up
at your doorstep after a burglary just might be staffed by
volunteers.

About 390 residents have signed on to work for the Denver

Police Department, many handling data entry and other
routine tasks. But some - 40 to 50 when recruiting is
complete - will come with high-tech expertise to gather
fingerprints and DNA.

Don't expect volunteers to crack the next serial killing whodunit, but they will be enlisted to
help investigate car thefts, burglaries and other property crimes.

Police officials outlined the ambitious plans Wednesday in a presentation to the City
Council's safety committee.

Assigning civilian volunteers to some police functions could help put more officers on the
street for more serious crimes, said police Sgt. Matt Murray, who helped design the
program.

Possible liability to the city?

Very little, Murray said. The district attorney's office has signed onto the program, Murray
said. The program has also been examined by the city attorney's office, though a spokesman
said he could not discuss details.

Besides, Murray said, all the crime-scene crews will do is gather evidence. Scientists back at
the lab will analyze it.

The citizen investigators will process scenes that might otherwise not have been visited by
certified officers, police said.

With Police Chief Gerry Whitman looking on, Murray told the committee that volunteers
could help direct traffic at accidents and wait for tow trucks to arrive. Cops could then tackle
more pressing calls.

Already, one volunteer pilot is flying a police helicopter that might otherwise be on the
ground, he said.

The CSI crews will undergo rigorous training and will be asked to take polygraphs, Murray
said.

Two volunteers are already in CSI training. More will come from the current crop of
volunteers, and others have yet to be selected.

Whitman said citizen volunteer programs have been a "huge success" in other cities where
they've been tried.

Denver's program is patterned loosely after one in San Diego that has been operating for
more than a decade, Murray said.

Pete Zajda, who runs the San Diego program, said about 800 volunteers there do everything
from patrolling in marked cars to crisis intervention. Some are trained to work with
domestic assault victims. Others to minister to families of homicide victims.
11
He said the program has been a success, though he could not recall any specific crimes
solved by volunteers.

Whitman outlined other initiatives the city is preparing to implement to try to get a handle
on crime. The city will have a new system where residents can call the number 311 to report
non-emergency situations, freeing up 911 lines.

He also said about 97 percent of silent alarms are false alarms and that he is encouraging
business owners to install better video surveillance.

Whitman also touted a program to take reports on crimes that have a low probability of
being solved.

He even said that residents using the program may account for some of the reason that
reports of crime in Denver are increasing.

Denver's declining arrest rate in the face of growing crime reports has prompted at least
three reviews and a host of initiatives.

Over Mayor John Hickenlooper's objection, the City Council approved hiring 19 more
officers than were in the mayor's budget.

That, and the citizen volunteer initiative, might not be enough to satisfy a powerful
neighborhood association. The umbrella group - Inter-Neighborhood Cooperation - has
raised more than 1,000 signatures supporting a hike in property taxes to pay for 200
additional officers.

The signatures are meant to persuade the council to put a measure on a city ballot, said
member Karen Cuthbertson.

The organization, which represents more than 75 neighborhood groups, will decide this
month whether to take additional steps to force the issue, she said.

The Role of Private Security in Combating Terrorism
Charles P. Connolly

July 2003

Charles P. Connolly was Assistant Commissioner of the New York City Police Department,
Chief of the Yonkers, NY, Police Department, and vice president in charge of security for
Merrill Lynch Corporation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This article is adapted from a speech given at the National Executive Institute Associates,
Major Cities Chiefs Association, and Major County Sheriff’s Association Annual Conference
at Sun Valley, Idaho, on 13 June 2003.

The World Trade Center attack on 9/11 not only changed the way
we think but, from an organizational perspective, how we are to
function in the future. It may also be time to redefine ownership
of our national security. Law enforcement, in my judgment, will
at some point transform itself to meet the terrorist threat in
ways that are not yet on our police screens—in training,
surveillance, investigative techniques, disaster prevention and
response, and, most important, developing collaborative
relationships. We face a challenge to examine and change, if
necessary, a mindset to allow the public and private protection
sector to accomplish its mission through recognition of the
merits of shared assistance and cooperation.

All disasters are essentially local. There is no such thing as a Homeland Security Department
disaster or an FBI disaster; there are only New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, or even Des
Moines disasters. Yes, their impact matters and relates to the larger community. If we are to
be successful in developing a more productive antiterrorist environment, both the public
police sector and the private security sector need to change their client culture from one of
mere security awareness or knowledge to that of security ownership and responsibility.

Essentially, in today’s climate the stakes are too high economically and in personal safety to
ignore the potential contribution of the private sector to the nation’s security. Historically
there were valid reasons as to why partnership was not possible. The issues of quality in
private security and trust in government come to mind. But today, the protection
professional must recognize that we can’t pick the environment in which we live or the
circumstances under which we operate. Therefore we must not attempt to solve a problem
with the same mindset that creates it.

Having been a long-term advocate of the potential for this public-private partnership, I
found it difficult to understand why many police chiefs did not want to recruit another army.

They don’t have to pay for it.

They don’t have to be responsible for its operational success or failure.
They would receive the lion’s share of credit for whatever joint success is achieved.
More important,

It would provide greater access and opportunity for a very lucrative second career.
If you still have concerns, remember, the police chief is always in control as the only
governmental constitutionally empowered authority in town.

So in combating terrorism, why is the role of the private security sector so important?

13
Given that today’s battlefront is on America’s homeland, the police are the frontline troops
in this war. However, they are not alone in this effort, as private security assumes a greater
role in safety, prevention, and preventing the misuse of proprietary assets. In fact, security is
often at the scene when the police arrive. Yet neither is prepared, trained, or equipped to
combat an invisible enemy whose stated objective is disruption, destruction, and mass
death.

Although the State Department lists over 50 identifiable terrorist groups who are capable of
providing cooperation to each other, al-Qaeda is different. Terror has often been a tool to
win a place at the bargaining table. Al-Qaeda appears to just want to blow up the table. To
paraphrase their attitude, “It’s our way of life, stupid.”

It would appear to today’s fanatics that everything is black or white, curse or blessing, friend
or foe. They increasingly perceive tolerance as weakness and are apt to remind us that they
are much more enthusiastic about dying than we are about living.

What may be happening now may prove more important and dangerous than bin Laden or
al-Qaeda. The real issue, in my judgment, is a growing ideology
rather than organizational intent. We are witnessing an
awakening in which al-Qaeda inspires a movement,
encouraging other fanatics to recruit among the larger Muslim
community.

Fundamentalism in the Islamic world is something we know

little about. But it is a world in which one-half of its population
is probably under 25 years of age, and it appears that you can’t
talk some of them out of their obsession. There are those
among us who honestly believe that our grandchildren might
witness the fruits of any victory. 9/11 has shown us that we
can’t ignore this threat of radical Islam, as these fanatics

Do not practice self-restraint.

Wish to inflict mass civilian casualties.
Live among us. The Department of Justice reports that in the United States there are some
314,000 absconders—people ordered to be deported but who can’t be found. At last year’s
conference, Dale Watson, then Assistant Director of the FBI, reported that in the prior 30-
month period, 93 million visas were issued.
It is entirely logical that our antiterrorist response must adjust and adapt to these ideologies
but also possible that the 21st-century challenge is to find appropriate countermeasures that
will allow us to live with such constant threats. The old U.S. tactic was “wait and respond.”
The new wisdom appears to be that we take the battle to them.

Self-defense, however, is no less important regardless of our international strategy. 9/11 will
affect the conduct of corporate America more than any prior threat. Why? Because 9/11 is
the gold standard for terrorist success. It also encourages copycats. The technology formerly
controlled by the few is now available to the many. Also, that technology is reaching the stage
where one can program a project to be operated by the less skilled.

I and others would like to see the National Executive Institute play a greater role, as the
threats domestically will be concentrated in jurisdictions under the responsibility of the
major cities’ police chiefs and active institute members. My experience indicates that the call
for partnership is not a new gospel. Yes, the call has been followed up by genuine interest on
the part of some police officials, while other attitudes range from lukewarm to lip service. In
some departments there was simply no interest. I suggest that attitudes will change or some
careers will. Allow me to offer an explanation.

A protection transformation is on the horizon, as society’s safety is, in fact, no longer viewed
simply as the exclusive role of government. One can make the argument as to whether
government is the primary provider of protection, given research showing that a host of
nongovernmental groups have assumed responsibility for their own protection. The
restructuring or shifting of public protection can be witnessed by these facts:
14
Private police outnumber public police. In this country the ratio is three to one.
People increasingly spend more of their daily life in places where visible crime prevention
and control are provided by the private sector—for example, the workplace, transportation,
recreation, education, and at home in gated communities and large residential complexes.
The police function is transforming itself as a result of community demand and input,
economic restraints, and constant and unrelenting (often unfair) criticism exaggerated by
the political process and the media.
If you cannot accept this future of protection, let me offer another level of concern to the
police chiefs of the future in fulfilling their protective responsibility to society as well as the
economic well being of this country: With 85% of the nation’s infrastructure owned and
operated by the private sector, the United States increasingly relies on American companies
to safeguard the nation’s economy, security, and well being.

A sustainable partnership between the public and private sectors

is imperative if we are to protect the essential elements of our
economy and way of life, in agriculture, food production and
distribution, water, communication, energy, health and drug
services, telecommunications, transportation, banking and
financial services, chemical and hazardous materials, and
commercial and sports centers. The list is endless.

America’s private sector—businesses, universities, and labor—

have long been a partner to government, supplying the tools and
technologies to support national security. Unfortunately, this first war of the 21st century
puts America’s businesses and employees on the front lines of the battlefield—they have
become targets and pathways for attack and destruction. There will be no personal safety or
economic vitality without a secure environment. That is the challenge for private security as
well as the law enforcement community. Equally important is the transformation of law
enforcement to lead in rethinking a systematic collaborative security response that will
adapt to the world’s new realities.

Domestically, we must further explore what partnership potential exists. What role does or
can police leadership play in recognizing, recruiting, and developing police–private security
initiatives?

If this notion has value, then the National Executive Institute is in the perfect position to
identify that value and ask why is it not being initiated on a much larger scale. What are the
obstacles to successful implementation, and where are the opportunities to resolve them?

Aside from the domestic war on terrorism, it’s important that we recognize what is
occurring on the international side. Despite world tension and Wall Street scandals, we see
national governance—the role of nation-states—falling behind on the world scene. Global
corporations are increasingly assuming the positions of influence. World and domestic
events should cause us to reflect that we may not be able to address today’s needs—much less
tomorrow’s—with yesterday’s answers. While some economic and terrorism concerns have
tempered the triumph of globalism, there has been an interesting transformation in world
influence and power. Several years ago it was reported that General Motors had a bigger
budget than Denmark, Toyota had surpassed Norway, and Wal-Mart’s budget exceeded that
of Poland. In the same context, Ford exceeded South Africa, while Mitsubishi and Unilever
together outsized Indonesia (believed to be the fourth most populous country) and Vietnam.
Actually the hundred biggest economies in the world are equally divided between
corporations and government. Surely, it can be said that big business has a dog in this fight
against terrorism. While this transformation has met a few bumps in the road, a major
challenge according to the International Monetary Fund is a world that is moving from a
public-sector dominance toward one of private enterprise. Bill Gates of Microsoft gave away
more money last year to underdeveloped countries than did the World Health Fund. If
government and business need to adapt to the world’s new realities, surely the public and
private protection sectors should not be too far behind.

Our best statistics suggest that some 700,000 law enforcement officers are on our nation’s
battlefront. Nationally they are supported by approximately 12,000 FBI personnel plus the
15
personnel of other federal agencies, such as the Secret Service and the Drug Enforcement
Administration.

Yes, we have a sizable Customs and Border Patrol force, but they are attempting to secure
some 7,500 miles of border with Canada and Mexico, covering some 160 points of entry. At
those points of entry they are checking 50,000 trucks and another 50,000 sealed containers,
the latter having only a 2% inspection rate. While this is occurring, some 2,660 aircraft, 520
vessels, 348,000 vehicles, and 1,300,000 persons are crossing the border. Everything I just
described moves across the border each day. Then there are some 39,000 U.S. commercial
flights and 18,000 privately operated airports. The vastness of our country is such that we
can never fully protect it, try as we might.

If absolute guarantees can’t be the core of our national defense, shouldn’t we strive to ensure
that our intelligence capacity is equal to or better than our first response capability? Surely it
is better to prevent a catastrophe than effectively respond to its aftermath. Therefore, if
prevention through intelligence is a goal, why not explore the intelligence contributions of
America’s most successful corporations?

There are legitimate, possible legal and long-term historical concerns involving cooperation
with the government. Yet there is a compelling rationale for exploring to the utmost private
security’s participation in the war against terrorism. The private sector has the technology,
the resources, and, I suspect, the analytical intelligence to be a major contributor to the
security of the nation. The issue, in my opinion, is how to harness it.

I believe that you would be hard pressed to find anyone who would deny that transnational
crime and terrorism undermine the very foundations of international democratic order.
Transnational crime corrupts political leaders, while successful terrorism undermines the
cause of human rights. With this in mind, we need to be aware that sophisticated illegal
operations and enterprises have increased greatly since the Berlin Wall came down. Many
countries are, like the Internet, without secure controlled borders. The nature, scope, and
function of public protection—international, federal, and domestic—suggest a
transformation, given that its traditional perspective is one of reaction and rarely proactive.
The call for action is often predicated on the existence of critical mass prior to unmasking
organized criminal activity. This is not meant as a criticism; it merely reflects a function of
governmental monitoring. Terrorists and organized criminals are not adversely affected by
jurisdictional boundaries. Law enforcement, unfortunately, is so affected. Political change
has been accompanied by the rapid advance in technology, communication, and
transportation, creating a universal global village and information highway.

Who will police this village and this elusive highway? It is an important question, given the
projected decline of national governance. The Internet provides each of its users with the
equivalent of a printing press. Its use can be for good or bad. Again, we are not about to solve
today’s or tomorrow’s problems with yesterday’s solutions.

I would like to leave you with a few questions that I believe need to be addressed in
combating both terrorism and global crime:

What changes can be forecast for the future regarding the transnational nature of global
crime and terrorism? Who best can make such forecasts?
Are there changes occurring now that law enforcement in many countries is ill equipped to
handle?
If so, what extensions, new roles, or partnerships will be required among security, law
enforcement, and prosecution?
Who will be able to analyze, interpret, prevent, investigate, and secure successful
prosecutions internationally and domestically? What kind of borderless paper trails will
exist, given the reliance on electronic impulses?
Given fiscal trends, can the world criminal justice system afford to train personnel to
function in the new world of globalism, instantaneous crime, and terror?
Where are the expert witnesses going to come from if we are to successfully investigate and
assist in the prosecution of transnational crimes involving sophisticated
telecommunications or computerized networks?

16
In the future, will we or can we consider the use of corporate experts during investigation
and prosecution? I have observed that law enforcement personnel, upon achieving a certain
technical proficiency, tend toward the private sector, given the financial benefits. Our best
technical skills group may not be government employees.
What legislation, domestic and international—treaties included—might be necessary in
combating both global crime and terrorism?
The war on terrorism will not likely be won solely in traditional military fashion. According
to some experts, it has the potential for long duration, and the new weapons of choice may
require methods of collaborative intelligence and process in addition to any new technology
we may acquire.

Only law enforcement leadership can replace our culture of independence with that of
interdependence. However, it is important that we define the term partnership more clearly.
It’s not simply a law enforcement commitment to communicate in a more timely and
relevant mode. That is merely a promise to create a better communications network. It has
to be more than a one-way street, even though we fully recognize that their function and
authority make the police the essential controlling player.

We must do something different or creative amid a world of information and technology that
continually transform and alter the way we conduct our business and go about our daily
lives. Undoubtedly, we are more conscious of our limitations in protecting our people and
assets. Technology moves in nanoseconds and challenges its boundaries. Unfortunately,
people move more slowly in challenging their mental and operational boundaries. Are we
prepared to respond to things differently as well as to situations that have yet to occur? Is
failure a result of not solving the problem or simply the result of not seeing the problem?
Prophets of doom and gloom need not define the future. Our future may be merely different
in handling crisis. In the past we have handled plagues, world wars, holocaust, the evils of
Hitler and Communism, and countless other evils. Our ability to deal with the unknown is
not in question. I suggest that our creativity, commitment, and will need to be energized,
challenging old boundaries and setting new frontiers of partnership for public and private
protection.
