Building Partner Capacity for Combating WMD: EUCOM Ends, Ways, and Means
BPC for CWMD “Ends” • U.S. Armed Forces, in concert with other elements of U.S. national power, deter WMD use. • U. S. Armed Forces are prepared to defeat an adversary threatening to use WMD and prepared to deter follow-on use. • Existing worldwide WMD are secure, and the U.S. Armed Forces contribute, as appropriate, to secure, reduce, reverse or eliminate it. • Current or potential adversaries are dissuaded from producing WMD. • Current or potential adversaries’ WMD are detected and characterized and elimination is sought. • Proliferation of WMD and related materials to current and/or potential adversaries is dissuaded, prevented, defeated or reversed. • If WMD are used against the United States or its interests, U.S. Armed Forces are capable of minimizing the effects in order to continue operations in a WMD environment and assist U.S. civil authorities, allies and partners. • U.S. Armed Forces assist in attributing the source of attack, respond decisively, and/or deter future attacks. • Allies, partners, and U.S. civilian agenciesare capable partners in combating WMD.
