This paper studies NATO’s counterproliferation initiative and its attempt to develop an agreed policy regarding counterproliferation. The author believes NATO’s future holds the likelihood of more bilateral or multilateral actions under the umbrella of NATO approval, without necessarily being a consensual NATO activity. In addition, while NATO’s core function will remain—to guarantee the freedom and physical security of its members—its day-to-day functions will change to lower level aspects of a broad range of security issues. As one analyst put it, this bodes a shift “from collective defense to collective responsibility sharing,” with important ramifications for future NATO counterproliferation activities. 

1045 Counterforce: Locating and Destroying Weapons of Mass Destruction. 

[USAF Institute for National Security Studies, U.S. Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, Colorado. Robert W. Chandler. September 1998] Undated. 17pp. 

This paper integrates the key insights of previous air force vision statements with the findings of the 1998 Long-Range Air Power Panel and addresses one of the most demanding practical issues that will impact America’s next battle. The proliferation of WMD changes the context and conduct of future warfare. The author asserts that America’s military strategy, operations concepts, and doctrine for the early twenty-first century should be based on the possibility that the armed forces will be pitted against adversaries armed with biological and chemical weapons and the ballistic and cruise missiles needed to deliver them accurately across great distances. The paper suggests that the United States obtain air dominance early in a potential conflict, and that nonlinear, asymmetric long-range precision strike operations offer the best opportunity to neutralize WMD–armed adversaries.
