Which of the following statements about the National Strategy is true?

• A. It was published before the Department of Homeland Security was established.
• B. It was never updated.
• C. It was updated in 2007.
• D. It was primarily a DoD plan.

Answer: (C)

The statement being tested focuses on the history of the National Strategy for Homeland Security and its updates. The correct choice reflects that this strategy did receive a revision in 2007, showing that the plan evolves to address new threats, lessons learned, and the expanding role of the Department of Homeland Security. This update in 2007 demonstrates that the strategy is not static.

Reasoning for the other options: the strategy did not precede the establishment of DHS; it was developed after DHS was created, so that claim isn’t accurate. It has indeed been updated, so saying it was never updated is false. And while the DoD plays a role in national security, this strategy is driven by civilian-led DHS priorities across federal, state, local, and private sectors, not primarily a DoD plan.
