The Impact of NBC Proliferation on Doctrine and Operations

NBC proliferation is recognized as a serious threat across the operational spectrum--from the deployment of forces to post-hostility activities. References to NBC frequently aggregated under the rubric of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) appear often in policy and capstone statements such as the national military strategy and Joint Vision 2010. At present NBC is also mentioned in service doctrine (for example Army Field Manual 100-5 and Air Force Manual 1-1) as well as in more technical manuals on detection decontamination individual protection and biological warfare/chemical warfare (BW/CW) shipboard defense.
