An overview of the Federal counterdrug community summarizes the antidrug efforts of various Federal agencies, followed by a section on regional counterdrug organizations. A separate section focuses on the U.S. Defense Department's roles, missions, and capabilities in countering drug smuggling. This is followed by a section that discusses the role of governors and State agencies in counterdrug operations. The State agencies discussed represent California, Maine, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. A section also addresses National Guard roles, missions, and capabilities in counterdrug efforts.
