Commanders

Lt. George Hammond was appointed as the first administrator of Homeworld Security at the beginning of the eighth year of Stargate Command's operation. Since he had been the commander of Stargate Command (SGC) since the Stargate Program was revitalized after the Goa'uld System Lord Apophis' attack (1.01 "Children of the Gods Part 1"), he was the most qualified person to run the new program.

Programs Administered

The Air Force general heading Homeworld Security reports to the Pentagon (Joint Chiefs) and Washington, D.C. (President), in matters of Earth's defenses. The following programs are included under the Homeworld Security umbrella:

Stargate Command (SGC) is the military and scientific body for the Stargate Program, which administers and maintains the U.S. government-sponsored teams that go through the Stargate. It is housed underground in the Cheyenne Mountain Complex in Colorado, USA. Stargate Command also runs the Alpha Site, a base on another planet considered safe from alien invasion. Currently, Brig. Gen. Jack O'Neill is the commander of the SGC. (2.01 "The Serpent's Lair Part 2", 8.02 "New Order Part 2")
The 303 program includes the BC-303, Prometheus, a space-worthy battle ship created by the Air Force using Earth and alien technology. Gen. Vidrine heads this program. (7.07 "Enemy Mine")
The Antarctic Outpost is a defense facility left behind by the Ancients when they took their city-ship "Atlantis" to the Pegasus Galaxy. It is the site of powerful weapons which led to the destruction of Anubis' attacking fleet. This site was administered by Dr. Elizabeth Weir and was studied by an international team of scientists. After the destination of "Atlantis" was discovered by Dr. Daniel Jackson, this international team left the Outpost for the Pegasus Galaxy, leaving a small group of individuals to watch over it. Since the power source for the defenses has been depleted, the Outpost is at present ineffectual in defending Earth. (7.22 "Lost City Part 2", Stargate Atlantis: 1.01 "Rising Part 1")
The Atlantis Expedition Team was the first Earth group to explore another galaxy. The team left through the stargate to the eight-symbol address in the Pegasus Galaxy, knowing that their trip could be one-way for a very long time. Their goals are to find a viable power source to connect their stargate to the one on Earth and acquire knowledge and technology in the defense of Earth. The international team includes scientists and military personnel and is headed by Dr. Elizabeth Weir. (Stargate Atlantis: 1.01 "Rising Part 1")
