Original Note:
The revised DoD directive 5240.01 does not grant any new authority for the use of lethal force against US citizens by the military. It specifically focuses on intelligence and states that any assistance to law enforcement must be permissible under the Posse Comitatus Act. https://www.justsecurity.org/104328/dod-directive-changes/ https://www.esd.whs.mil/portals/54/documents/dd/issuances/dodd/524001p.pdf https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/posse-comitatus-act-explained
