The new defense challenge confronting the
United States involves a range of nontraditional warfare threats
that are far different from the large-scale conventional or nuclear
threats posed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Now at the
forefront, threats involving chemical, biological, and nuclear
weapons from secondary states and terrorist groups along with other
ill-defined forms of nontraditional warfare-urban, information,
drug, terrorist, and guerrilla-undermine the effectiveness of the
modern U.S. military and other government agencies. This volume
brings together the wide-ranging talent of technologists,
academics, and journalists to define the nature of these
nontraditional threats and the potential means to counter them.
They point out shortcomings in U.S. policy as well as
organizational shortfalls that must be corrected in order to better
prepare the means to meet and defeat these unusual and ill-defined
threats. |
