Public perceptions of emerging technologies, such as fifth-generation (5G) communication, can affect the adoption of these technologies. Integrating 5G wireless technologies into the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) mission could increase the safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of efforts to support DHS's responsibilities to safeguard critical infrastructure and conduct missions across the homeland security enterprise.

Key Findings Modeling can show SF outcomes as different types of risk reduction, which can better inform effects-based planning. The fact that the SF manage a wide variety of risks makes assessing the full consequences of manning, technology, and other changes in practice more difficult. Models can show how choices affect day-to-day risks and potentially much higher-consequence incidents to allow for more-informed choices and make consequences clearer.

Key Findings There was no evidence that units held back returns of DLR carcasses while credits were shut off, suggesting that single price is a feasible alternative. Absorbing price changes for all transactions that pass through the AWCF would require a small increase in the supply management surcharge but would eliminate 95 percent of FORSCOM's unmatched transactions and 98 percent of the associated costs.
