A little-publicized Department of Defense Directive (Number 1404.10) establishes a "DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce" and rescinds a prior directive dealing with the emergency use of civilian personnel.
The new 1404.10, dated January 23, 2009 -- just three days after the inauguration -- is effective immediately, and cancels the prior directive of the same designation ("Emergency-Essential (E-E) DoD U.S. Citizen Civilian Employees"), that was issued in 1992 under President Clinton. The 1992 directive specifically deals with overseas deployments of civilian personnel, and mentions the term "overseas" no fewer than 33 times.
The new directive does not mention the term "overseas" in the body of the directive even once. The word "overseas" appears in the new Directive 4 times: once as as a reference; once to describe a database "code"; once to describe the code values; and once in the Glossary. In other words, the new Directive doesn't apply to the overseas deployment of civilians at all, but applies to their deployment in the United States mainland.
The previous Directive does not mention "restoration of order" or "stability operations." These operations are prominently featured in the new directive. In fact, these functions are central to the mission of Obama's new DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce:
Members of the DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce shall be organized, trained, cleared, equipped, and ready to deploy in support of combat operations by the military; contingencies; emergency operations; humanitarian missions; disaster relief; restoration of order; drug interdiction; and stability operations of the Department of Defense in accordance with DoDD 3000.05...
While the directive suggest that the DoD will seek volunteers, Section 4 (d), subsection {e} paragraph 2 states: Management retains the authority to direct and assign civilians either voluntarily, involuntarily, or on an unexpected basis to accomplish the DoD mission.
This new directive is odd, coming as it does after campaign promises by Obama to establish a paramilitary "civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded" as our military (video).
Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel wrote the following in his 2006 book, "The Plan: Big Ideas for America":
"It’s time for a real Patriot Act that brings out the patriot in all of us. We propose universal civilian service for every young American. Under this plan, all Americans between the ages of 18 and 25 will be asked to serve their country by going through three months of basic training, civil defense preparation and community service."
Here's a video of Rahmbo describing his mandatory civil service plan to NY Daily News reporter Ben Smith in 2006. This notion was detailed in Emanuel's book, co-authored by Bruce Reed.
This bunch has been thinking about this "force" for a long time. As previously documented in these pages, Obama has been actively organizing and training the cadre for his "Civilian National Security Force" since 1993. Here are the frightening details.
I worked around the federal government a lot and this Directive is all about funding. The language and the mission can be changed in a heartbeat.
“stability operations”
“Management retains the authority to direct and assign civilian EITHER VOLUNTARILY, INVOLUNTARILY, or on an unexpected basis to accomplish the DoD mission
Does obama have constitutional authority to order this new wing of military?
Amazing and disturbing how hush hush this is.
How does this work?
“Under this plan, all Americans between the ages of 18 to 25 will be asked to serve their country...”
These are the years when we start our careers, start businesses, attend college, etc. Ruh, roh . . .
Great quote at the bottom of the photo.
Isn't that the directive that allows Blackwater to function in Iraq?
Could we be seeing them, or other "private contractors" on the streets of America?
That’s fine, I may not see 25.
Three months? As far as I know, Basic for any military branch isn’t three months long.
It’s true, there really is no such thing as too much ammo.
What the hell is this all about!
Well, 0bama and his sycophants do fancy him as Lincoln.

Just another day under a socialist POS Precedent . Just 47 months to go ........
That’s what conservatives in Venezuela used to say about Chavez.
Among Obama's supporters, what's the plan to mold obese welfare mothers, 75-IQ'd gangsta thugs and pot smoking college hippies into a disciplined fighting force? In case nobody's noticed, these demographics tend to eschew work in general and the military in particular.
I'm not quite shaking in my boots over this.
..A great / fine lady, RWR, had inferred.... 
what more could be said? ...and she also loved her liberty/freedoms.
” I am committed to building our civilian national security capacity so that the burden is not continually pushed on to our military “,,
this is a quote out of today’s speech , he once again is tossing it out there , and none of the news people picked this up , fox included
