Eps 497 - DoD Updated Directives to Include Use of Lethal Force Domestically

About this episode

Directive 5240.01, reissued on September 27, 2024.

Quick Summary

  • New provisions: The updated directive expands the circumstances under which the DoD can assist law enforcement, including the use of lethal force.

  • Assassination explicitly forbidden: While assassination is banned, the new language allows for lethal actions under “imminent threats.”

  • Concerns about civil liberties: The expanded definition of “national security threats” is raising alarms, particularly given DHS’s broader definition of domestic terrorism threats.

  • High-level approval required: Any intelligence-sharing that could lead to lethal force must be approved by the Secretary of Defense, but Component Heads can act immediately for up to 72 hours before obtaining approval.
