OSTI ID:445716
A leading post-Cold War security interest of U.S. policymakers and strategists is the proliferation of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) and the means for their delivery at ever longer ranges. For the military services, including the U.S. Army, proliferation trends and their regional effects are matters of great operational and strategic significance, with serious implications for U.S. freedom of action in future crises. Nowhere is the prospect of the spread of WMDs likely to have a more pronounced effect on strategic perceptions than around the Mediterranean. We analyzed proliferation trends and regional security consequences in the Mediterranean region and reached the following conclusions.
