U.S. military role in countering the biological and chemical warfare threat: Attacking the enemy`s will. Final report
One of the greatest challenges facing the US military today in the post-Cold War Era is countering the proliferation of biological and chemical weapons (BCW). Known adversaries of the United States currently possess such weapons and will most likely employ them in future conflicts based on the perceived attractiveness associated with BCW. The US military can and must play an active role in deterring the proliferation and potential employment of these horrific weapons. Attacking the adversary`s will to possess or employ them is the singular, long lasting solution to a growing global crisis. The US military`s principal means of attacking this will is to negate the attractiveness of obtaining or already possessing a biological and chemical warfare capability.
