[edit] Capitalization

I originally created this article with United States Civil Defense because the internal link I followed from the Civil defense article happened to have each word capitalized. But upon consideration, I'm not sure if that is appropriate given Wikipedia's naming conventions. Any thoughts on whether this article should be moved to United States civil defense instead?--Wikiwriter706 00:32, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article Outline

I now have the article organized by time period:

Pre-WW
WWI
WWII
Cold War (eventually this could be subdivided by Presidential administrations)
Post-Cold War (perhaps this should be subdived into pre-9/11 and post-9/11)

It is possible that the two World Wars could be combined into one section with subsections, and it is also possible that pre-9/11 post cold war and post-9/11 could be separate sections. Thoughts appreciated.
