The Department of Homeland Security: An organization in Transition
King, Charles B. III
JFQ: Joint Force Quarterly, Fall 2009, #55, pp152-159
"On November 25, 2002, the Homeland Security Act of 2002 became law, and 60 days later, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) became the newest Cabinet-level organization in the U.S. Government. Over the following 5 months, DHS merged elements of 22 agencies from 9 departments into its structure. [...] In the nearly 7 years since, the Department has undergone one major internal reorganization (the 2005 Second Stage Review), two externally driven reorganizations (prompted by the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 and the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006), and several smaller, agency-specific reorganizations."
Charles B. King III is the Risk Analysis Branch Chief for the Transportation Security Administration of the Department of Homeland Security.
