"Create a Civilian Assistance Corps (CAC): There is presently no mechanism for civilians with special skill-sets (be they doctors, lawyers, engineers, city planners, agriculture specialists, police, etc.) and a sense of service, to be trained and organized to help their nation when it needs them. The Civilian Assistance Corps (modeled after similar auxiliary groups in Virginia and California) would provide each federal agency a pool of volunteer experts willing to deploy in crises. They would be pre-trained and screened for deployment to supplement departments’ expeditionary teams. The creation of such a corps would ensure that true experts carry out tasks such as restoring electricity or creating banking systems, rather than the current practice of expecting already over-burdened soldiers to assume these roles. An Obama administration will set a goal of creating a national CAC of 25,000 personnel"

Build civilian capacity to promote stability and tackle security challenges with a ‘whole of government’ approach, so that our troops are not alone in the fight
When the power’s out, other power companies go into other states. He’d be paying teams to be on stand by? I mean, we’d be paying teams to be on stand by?
I found the info on the defense page, not on the Homeland Security page.
“trained and organized” Oh boy!
Like a chessboard, for every move that communist bastard makes, there will be counter move after counter move. I (retired) as well as every other Journeyman Lineman, know where every significant vulnerability of the National Power Grid lays. The havoc just a few of us could create in one night would take months to fix...
It would play out the same across the land if this fascism comes to pass. No way the leftist can repair what "Joe the plumber" and the rest of the trades could pull off needed to stop this plague... Did I mention the snipers?
