Another longer, monograph coming on the north caucuses with the u. S. Army war colleges looking in depth at the military and security aspects and the history of the cob conflicts in north caucuses. But as he mentioned, this is now a conflict not just in the russian context, not just in the regional context of the north caucuses, not just in the russian statewide context but it has global connections. Just recently, a salafi cleric issued a fatwa, a religious ruling, justifying in the in vol ct the attacks fwmbings enbrad and exchanging that attacks on the russian civilian population is justified because the population is not standing up against the russian government when its persecuting muslims. Therefore, he says, any russian citizen, and he doesnt even he mentioned christians, orthodox, but doesnt distinguish the probably 20 million russian citizens who happen to be muslim, that these civilians, women, children, and be ly, are all allowed to murdered in terrorist attacks.

That they suffer on our campuses the Justice Department is using all the tools we can. We have an agreement with the university of montana where that problem was not being adequately addressed. We worked out we put in place a consent agreement. Are talkingsities to the university of montana to see what they have put in place. It is often that this kind of thing will expand and cover more college campuses. Guest thank you for your testimony today. Thank you. Senator graham. Good morning. People on both sides are asking you to do some very worthy things. This is a great area for you to be involved in. Ella me sequestration affects your ability to do what you are tasked with today. Be ablemply would not to do the kinds of things that the American People expect of us. In the 4000 fewer people Justice Department than we did in january of 2011 as a result of sequestration or the expectation of sequestration that forced me to put into place a hiring freeze. We have fewer investigators, fewer
Authorities utilize in terms of frequencies and wave forms and thats not something that we do every day as communicators. So it provides an opportunity for a more wellround ed case and i certainly got into that territory this year. Thank you. Theres definitely 3 things im going to hit hard with my relief. First is understand that c2 piece because it is complicated. We dont understand under that structure normally. Its very important that my relief understands or any disca planner understands that c2 piece. Second is understand the ics and then take the time to get the training. We put together a pretty robust Training Plan in preparation for this. We did the fema online course, eoc course at nasne, hadr course, trained with cal fire, take the time to take that training. Its tough to fit it in but its important to fit it in and it will make us more effective. We did an exercise back in may in preparation for this and developed a pretty detailed concept of operations. We built load plan,
He can pull it right off the shelf if this ever happens and be ready to respond quickly instead of trying to figure this all out when we need to be getting underway. Ill boil mine down into just one, and that is i will pass to my relief to continue to support events like this and look for opportunities to continue to learn how we best in the military can integrate with our civilian and federal contemporaries to be prepared for an eventuality that we hope will never come, but we certainly should be prepared for. So the one thing im passing on is keep the momentum. Thank you, all. One other benefit that was cited in the after action review and also was mentioned today is the chance it meet someone else from the other agency. We also heard a lot about training, understanding ics, understanding dsca and thats defense support of civil authorities. Its the Guiding Principles for how our Armed Services are going to support civilians when something happens. And i think those are common across

We built load plan, timelines, spare parts lists, we really got into the weeds, thinking about the second and third tier effects, so i want my relief to understand that and i want him to know where that plan is so he can pull it right off the shelf if this ever happens and be ready to respond quickly instead of trying to figure this all out when we need to be getting underway. Ill boil mine down into just one, and that is i will pass to my relief to continue to support events like
