 <title>Department of Homeland Security: Progress Report on Implementation of Mission and Management Functions</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>The Department of Homeland Security&apos;s (DHS) recent 4 year
anniversary provides an opportunity to reflect on the progress
DHS has made since its establishment. DHS began operations
in March 2003 with the mission to prevent terrorist attacks
within the United States, reduce vulnerabilities, minimize
damages from attacks, and aid in recovery efforts. GAO has
reported that the creation of DHS was an enormous management
challenge and that the size, complexity, and importance of
the effort made the challenge especially daunting and critical
to the nation&apos;s security. Our prior work on mergers and
acquisitions found that successful transformations of large
organizations, even those faced with less strenuous
reorganizations than DHS, can take at least 5 to 7 years to
achieve. GAO was asked to report on DHS&apos;s progress in
implementing its mission and management areas and challenges DHS
faces. This report also discusses key themes that have affected
DHS&apos;s implementation efforts.</abstract>
