Edwin Wilson, a deputy assistant secretary of defense told reporters. Wilson oversees the department\u2019s cybersecurity policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf called upon, we would operate under DHS authority so there would not be any independent DoD teams. We would operate in concert with DHS for incident response for election security,\u201d Wilson said. He added that the response would \u201cdouble the size of the response options that are available.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The federal government has planned when and how to use Pentagon resources in the hours and days following a hack, Jeanette Manfra, an assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security said during an Oct. 30 event at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are not going to be able to help for every single incident, nor do I think it is our job,\u201d Manfra said. Instead, she said the department\u2019s preparation has focused on legal and policy issues in the event of a cyberattack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, the National Guard can respond to a cyber incident at the state and federal level if it receives approval, according to the National Cyber Incident Response Plan. The Guard can help if the federal government is not able to, according to the Stafford Act, which outlines responsibilities during a disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon is \u201ccapable of supporting local, state or federal departments or agencies in response to a request for assistance,\u201d if it is &#8220;legally available\u201d and approved by the president or a defense official, Lt. Col. Jamie Davis, a spokesman for the Department <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/critical-infrastructure\/2018\/07\/23\/the-military-wants-to-help-secure-the-midterm-elections\/\" target=_blank>told Fifth Domain in July<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. officials say they have no actionable intelligence that a foreign country intends to hack the mid-term elections. But one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/congress\/policy\/2018\/10\/23\/the-voting-day-crisis-election-officials-fear\/\" target=\"_blank\">worst case scenario<\/a> officials have prepared
