Answer to Question 2

Anti-terrorism efforts are defensive in nature. Anti-terrorism efforts are defensive actions taken to reduce the vulnerability of people and property to terrorist acts, including rapid containment by local military and civilian forces. On the other hand, counterterrorism efforts usually involve military or paramilitary actions taken to prevent, deter, or respond to terrorist threats or attacks. Local and state governments often have units with counterterrorism in their titles, but they usually perform anti-terrorism duties. Housed within the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Special Operations Command2 (USSOCOM or SOCOM) is the organization responsible for many counterterrorism actions by the military. Note that anti-terrorism programs have a proactive component of engaging in activities that are intended to prevent an attack or reduce the losses caused by one and a reactive component of managing the aftermath of an attack. America's anti-terrorism program has been characterized as being geographically limited
to the United States. However, this is not always the case. Counterterrorism includes a constellation of strategies, such as denying the rationale for terrorism and promoting other more attractive ideas, such as reducing the flow of recruits by providing them with alternative futures, strengthening the economies of failing nations to eliminate terrorists sanctuaries, interdicting materials (supplies and weapons) intended for use by terrorists, impounding funds in transit to terrorists, implementing civil action programs, and direct military action. a counterterrorism program is characterized by direct actions (usually military) that prevent, deter, and respond to terrorists. A key component of counterterrorism is identifying, locating, and taking action against high-value human targets. This action disrupts terrorists' intentions, capabilities, and operations.
