Adversary Use of NBC Weapons: A Neglected Challenge
"Understanding has evolved in the last decade about how an adversary might use nuclear, radiological, biological, or chemical weapons against the United States. Increasingly, America is concluding that potential adversaries view these not as 'weapons of last resort' but rather as tactically and strategically useful. The United States can expect their use early in a conflict as well as throughout the extended battlefield, including on U.S. territory itself. States and state-supported terrorists are of primary concern, for these actors can most readily harness the full range of technical and operational capabilities needed to use nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) weapons in sophisticated, effective ways. The U.S. military is becoming more aware of the requirements for operating in an NBC environment, but more needs to be done to ensure success. Deterring NBC use may be more difficult than it was during the Cold War. New concepts and capabilities, including more sophisticated active and passive defenses, will be required. Missile defense will play an essential role. A fully capable national response will require not only a better prepared military but also a better prepared public health infrastructure."

Deterrence and Defense in a Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Environment
This volume is a revised version of the same title first published in 1995. It was, and remains, a brief primer on the key security issues that emerge from the proliferation of nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) weapons and missiles as a means of delivery. Since its initial publication, much work has been undertaken to improve our understanding of the NBC threat and the consequences for U.S. forces should these weapons be used. While these efforts have significantly advanced the knowledge base, the judgments of this primer remain valid. The most noteworthy change from the first edition is the addition of a separate chapter on NBC terrorism. This reflects a growing national concern about the possibility for, and consequences of, terrorist use of these weapons against the United States homeland. We judge this threat to be real, and view it as a logical extension to the threat already posed to U.S. forces deployed abroad. Given the potentially profound implications of NBC weapons, we must devote attention to the mitigation of every aspect of this threat. Included here, also, are charts and tables that correspond and relate to the content of this report.

Future Nuclear Landscape
"In important ways, the world is at a nuclear crossroads. The complex and dynamic nuclear landscape presents us with challenges along at least four axes: regional nuclear proliferation, nuclear terrorism, great power nuclear relations, and the security implications of increased interest in nuclear energy. These problems are interrelated in ways that the national security community does not fully understand. Strategy and policy frameworks do not address them in sufficiently integrated fashion. New conceptual thinking is required to develop a more unified understanding of and approach to managing the risks and opportunities posed by these 21st-century nuclear challenges."
