As the nuclear threat between the United States and the Soviet Union has diminished, new threats now face the nation. The end of the Cold War world brought with it the unleashing of rogue states and terrorist organizations that no longer feel constrained by the superpowers. Coupled with the release of technology worldwide, no nation is risk free from attack on its own soil. While the threat of terrorism in of itself is not new, the threat of the use of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) on American soil creates a new risk to national security. Tasked by Congress, the Department of Defense developed programs and capabilities to deal with consequences of a WMD attack on US soil. This study conducts an analysis of the US Army's current WMD consequence management operations doctrine. The analysis is based on a model developed by Colonel Dennis M. Drew, a former Air Force officer who wrote numerous books and articles concerning military doctrine and strategy. The results of the analysis point to many shortcomings in current Army doctrine. Recommendations are provided to better prepare the Army to fulfill its role in consequence management operations.
