Usaf Operations In A Chemical And Biological Cb Warfare Environment Planning And Analysis PDF Download

This study examines how adversaries might use chemical and biological weapons (CBWs) to paralyze U.S. Air Force operations, how the Air Force might continue operations despite a contaminated environment, and how additional measures might enable the Air Force to sustain operations. The work should be of interest to policymakers and military planners in countering CBWs. This study was sponsored by the Air Staff office formerly known as the Air Force Director of Plans (AF/XOX), part of whose functions have since been assumed by the Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff, Air and Space Operations (AF/XO), and part by the Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff, Plans and Programs (AF/XP). The study was conducted at RAND under the Strategy and Doctrine Program within Project AIR FORCE.
