Abstract

Abstract : The gravest danger facing the United States is the nexus between terrorism and weapons of mass destruction (WMD). All forms of WMD (chemical biological radiological and nuclear) can be devastating but because of their unique attributes nuclear weapons are by far the worst. While President Bush's National Strategy for Combating WMD articulates how the U.S. will deal with this threat the military as a major element of national power is a critical player and must have a complementary strategy. This paper reviews the U.S. national-level strategy for combating nuclear weapons defines the supporting military strategy and analyzes the feasibility suitability and acceptability of the military objectives (ends) concepts (ways) and resources (means) in meeting the national security objectives.
