North American Army created – without OK by Congress
U.S., Canada military ink deal to fight domestic emergencies

In a ceremony that received virtually no attention in the American media, the
United States and Canada signed a military agreement Feb. 14 allowing the armed
forces from one nation to support the armed forces of the other nation during a
domestic civil emergency, even one that does not involve a cross-border crisis.

The
agreement, defined as a Civil Assistance Plan, was not submitted to Congress
for approval, nor did Congress pass any law or treaty specifically authorizing
this military agreement to combine the operations of the armed forces of the
United States and Canada in the event of a wide range of domestic civil
disturbances ranging from violent storms, to health epidemics, to civil riots
or terrorist attacks.
In Canada, the agreement paving the way for the militaries of the U.S. and
Canada to cross each other's borders to fight domestic emergencies was not
announced either by the Harper government or the Canadian military, prompting
sharp protest.
"It's kind of a trend when it comes to issues of Canada-U.S. relations and
contentious issues like military integration," Stuart Trew, a researcher with
the Council of Canadians told the Canwest News Service. "We see
that this government is reluctant to disclose information to Canadians that is
readily available on American and Mexican websites."
The military Civil Assistance Plan can be seen as a further incremental step
being taken toward creating a North American armed forces available to be
deployed in domestic North American emergency situations.
The agreement was signed at U.S. Army North headquarters, Fort Sam Houston,
Texas, by U.S. Air Force Gen. Gene Renuart, commander of NORAD and U.S.
Northern Command, or USNORTHCOM, and by Canadian Air Force Lt. Gen. Marc
Dumais, commander of Canada Command.
"This document is a unique, bilateral military plan to align our respective
national military plans to respond quickly to the other nation's requests for
military support of civil authorities," Renuart said in a statement published
on the USNORTHCOM website.
"In discussing the new bilateral Civil
Assistance Plan established by USNORTHCOM and Canada Command, Renuart
stressed, "Unity of effort during bilateral support for civil support
operations such as floods, forest fires, hurricanes, earthquakes and effects of
a terrorist attack, in order to save lives, prevent human suffering an mitigate
damage to property, is of the highest importance, and we need to be able to
have forces that are flexible and adaptive to support rapid decision-making in
a collaborative environment."
Lt. Gen. Dumais seconded Renuart's sentiments, stating, "The signing of this
plan is an important symbol of the already strong working relationship between
Canada Command and U.S. Northern Command."
"Our commands were created by our respective governments to respond to the
defense and security challenges of the twenty-first century," he stressed, "and
we both realize that these and other challenges are best met through
cooperation between friends."

The statement on the USNORTHCOM website emphasized the plan recognizes the role
of each nation's lead federal agency for emergency preparedness, which in the
United States is the Department of Homeland Security and in Canada is Public
Safety Canada.
The statement then noted the newly signed plan was designed to facilitate the
military-to-military support of civil authorities once government authorities
have agreed on an appropriate response.
As WND has previously reported, U.S. Northern Command was established on Oct.
1, 2002, as a military command tasked with anticipating and conducting homeland
defense and civil support operations where U.S. armed forces are used in
domestic emergencies.
Similarly, Canada Command was established on Feb. 1, 2006, to focus on domestic
operations and offer a single point of contact for all domestic and continental
defense and securities partners.
In Nov. 2007, WND published a six-part exclusive series, detailing WND's
on-site presence during the NORAD-USNORTHCOM Vigilant Shield 2008, an
exercise which involved Canada Command as a participant.
In an exclusive interview with WND during Vigilant Shield 2008, Gen. Renuart
affirmed USNORTHCOM would deploy U.S. troops on U.S. soil should the president
declare a domestic emergency in which the Department of Defense ordered
USNORTHCOM involvement.
In May 2007, WND reported President Bush, on his own authority, signed National
Security Presidential Directive 51, also known as Homeland Security
Presidential Directive 20, authorizing the president to declare a national
emergency and take over all functions of federal, state, local, territorial and
tribal governments, without necessarily obtaining the approval of Congress to
do so.
