from acadia national park in maine to war in the pacific national historical park in guam, parks serve places of retreat, wonder, discovery, and reflection. the history of the national parks service began with the country's desire to conserve lands that were being threatened. the idea to preserve unique landscapes originated with places like yellowstone and yosemite and soon grew to include not just landscapes but historic landmarks and treasures as well. becoming gateways to telling america's many stories. as the number of parks increased, it became clear that a dedicated agency for their management would be needed. president woodrow wilson, working with the congress, created legislation to establish the national parks service as an agency of the department of the interior on august 25, 1916. twenty years later, another president, franklin d. roosevelt, would comment on this new and unique adventure with preservation management with these words -- "there is nothing so american as our national parks. the fundamental idea behind the parks is that the country belongs to the people. it is

, that all our assets were in one place, but he thought the japanese potential would have attacked guamr the philippines. as you said, thinking an attack was coming, but no one would believe it would be directly on pearl harbor. >> well, it's remarkable looking back, reading the newspapers of that era, how widespread the belief was or the knowledge was that war was just around the corner. what was in the papers that day was ominous and suspicious. and i think people were prepared for war. it was the target that the japanese chose that surprised people. particularly the navy, because the navy had assumed that the japanese were incapable of conducting a long-range raid on their fleet. there was sort of a tendency to minimize the ability of the japanese. we didn't think very highly of their abilities as pilots or as technical and mechanical innovators. and that was driven home or the mistake was driven home with a vengeance just about 8:00 on december 7th. >> and you know, one of the most astounding things that were missed was the japanese sent a code to the ambassador in washington. that

puerto rico, guam, they'll be flying. so a lot of the selection on the bigger organizational units are coming from our neighboring states where they can drive to the location. >> i would like to just highlight one thing on the active duty side. the bulk of the joint task force is stationed here in the national capital. we do have some folks coming from out of town. but as general schwartz pointed out, every time there is a national special security event in the ncr, there have been four in the last 18 months since i've been here, we come together as a joint task force, and we support the u.s. secret service, park police, capital police, and we work hand in hand with our d.c. national guard partners. so we are very -- this team that puts all this together for the 58th presidential inauguration, we're familiar and have strong relationships and we work together all the time in support of national security events. this is not the first time we've done something like. this. this maybe just a slightly larger scale. maj. gen. sc

somewhere in the western pacific and that if the attack came it would fall on the philippines, on guam, perhaps on territories of our british allies. there is really no convincing evidence at all that anyone in washington, any of our military political leaders had any reason to believe that we were going to be attacked in pearl harbor in hawaii and, in fact, the technical difficulty of that attack, take a six-carrier task force two-thirds of the way across the pacific at that time was really beyond -- would have been beyond american capabilities and i don't think that our military leaders had even imagined that it was possible. so i could say more about this but i think that the more recent attacks in 2001 and 9/11 are a good analogy in the sense that after this sudden attack there are a number of investigations, those investigations will reveal evidence that there may have been reasons to think that an attack like this was going to come but of course at the time you're searching through a haystack and trying to find needl needles. just as the fbi had evidence tracking the 9/11 hijacke

that they have nuclear eyes were heads, that they have mission tested ballistic missiles that put guam within range. they have demonstrated solid fuel rocket cap -- rocket propellant, demonstrated mobile launch capabilities, and they are trying to develop the message of a submarine launched ballistic missile. everyone in the audience has seen at one point or another a cnn story where they say that north korea is stacking another rocket on launchpad. what is different this time is that they would be doing this when they have already said that we have an energized warhead now. are a u.s. national security planner and there is footage from cnn showing that they are stacking a missile, you have to wonder what is on top of that missile. they can say it is a satellite or a dummy warhead or something, but you just don't know. maybe there is a 5% chance they are lying and there actually is a nuclear warhead. you want to take that 5% chance. most will say no, they don't want to take that chance. so it has all sorts of the impact. the other place is allies in the region. there has been a series
