DTRA’s Chemical and Biological Warfare Issues for DoD

Air War College Core Elective

Term 1, Academic Year 2005

(19 Aug – 7 Oct 2004)

INTRODUCTION: This is the only course of its kind at any of DoD’s joint senior service schools and is sponsored by DTRA/CB. This rigorous and exciting course examines emerging Chemical and biological warfare challenges to the US Domestic Homeland, US Air Force and to US allies. The course will examine the types of Chemical and biological agents as well as the weapons under development and being deployed by potential adversary states/terrorists. The course examines different strategic, operational and tactical uses for these weapons. It will look at the CBW threats in various regions of the world such as in the Middle East and Persian Gulf, in North Africa, and in South and Northeast Asia, as well as potential chem-bio terrorist threats. The USAF and DoD counterproliferation efforts will be viewed and discussed in light of this emerging threat. Responsibility of the military and the roles of other federal agencies in homeland security will be examined. Solutions such as counterforce, active defense, deterrence, etc will be examined. After completion of the course students will have a thorough understanding of the major issues the USAF, DoD and our nation face with the threat of Chemical and biological warfare.

SPONSORSHIP: TheDTRA/CB has funded the field studies, books and speaker support for the USAF Counterproliferation Center to teach this course. Texts for this course will be issued through the USAF Counterproliferation Center. Students will be able to keep all texts for their personal library unless otherwise indicated by the instructor.

COURSE METHODOLOGIES: A combination of focused discussions, 1 to 2 rigorous field studies, lectures, films, guest speakers, a possible in-class case study, comprehensive readings, and a CBW writing assignment.

Students will be encouraged, later, to use their CBW writing assignment as a basis for their AWC Professional Studies Paper. Top papers will be submitted to DTRA/CB for their use as desired.
