Department of Homeworld Security
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Department of Homeworld Security is a fictional United States Government agency in the Stargate universe. Stargate Command was originally overseen directly by the President and the Joint Chiefs of Staff (as stated in Children of the Gods), but after Anubis's attack on Earth (in Lost City), Henry Hayes established the top-secret Department of Homeworld Security. Its first leader was Lieutenant General George Hammond, but later he retired from USAF active service, eventually moved on to another position and was (presumably) replaced by Major General Jack O'Neill. The Department of Homeworld Security controls the Stargate Program as well as the F-302/BC-304 program. Direct authority over the Antarctic base and the Atlantis expedition is held by the International Oversight Advisory (IOA). Since the US military still provides the vast majority of logistical and personnel support to those outposts via the Department of Homeworld Security, the IOA's control is more political then anything else.
