About DHS
The creation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is the most
significant transformation of the U.S. government since 1947, when Harry S.
Truman merged the various branches of the U.S. Armed Forces into the Department
of Defense to better coordinate the nation's defense against military threats.
DHS represents a similar consolidation, both in style and substance. In the
aftermath of the terrorist attacks against America on September 11th, 2001,
President George W. Bush decided 22 previously disparate domestic agencies
needed to be coordinated into one department to protect the nation against
threats to the homeland. The new department's first priority is to protect the
nation against further terrorist attacks. Component agencies will analyze
threats and intelligence, guard our borders and airports, protect our critical
infrastructure, and coordinate the response of our nation for future
emergencies. Besides providing a better-coordinated defense of the homeland,
DHS is also dedicated to protecting the rights of American citizens and
enhancing public services, such as natural disaster assistance and citizenship
services, by dedicating offices to these important missions. For more
