Layered Homeland Missile Defense

DEFENDING THE HOMELAND

• Defending the U.S. homeland is DoD’s number one objective.
• Rogue states seek to threaten the U.S. homeland with long-range ballistic missiles to coerce us, restrict our freedom of action, and undermine our resolve to defend allies and partners.
• A secure U.S. homeland allows us to defend our security interests, commit to the defense of others, resist coercion, and negotiate from a position of strength.
