TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - ISIL's battlefield tactics and the implications for homeland security and preparedness JO - Contemporary voices: St Andrews journal of international relations A1 - Tallis, Joshua A1 - Bauer, Ryan A1 - Frey, Lauren SP - 24 EP - 42 VL - 8 IS - 3 N2 - This proposed article investigates the emergency management implications of a terrorist attack directly planned and executed by ISIL in the United States. To do so, we operationalize the Department of Homeland Security's National Preparedness Goal (NPG) to demonstrate how ISIL-directed attacks might stress national preparedness Core Capabilities. In so doing, we provide a proof of concept, demonstrating how viewing the ISIL threat through an emergency preparedness lens can help better benchmark existing national preparedness activities and policies against emerging threats.
