This supplemental handbook presents an appreciation of U.S. military forces and their roles as part of Department of Defense support to Federal emergency response in a terrorist Weapons of Mass Destruction or Effect (WMD/E) incident. The handbook supplements a capstone reference guide on terrorism, DCSINT Handbook No. 1, 'A Military Guide to Terrorism in the Twenty-First Century.' Both the capstone guide and supplemental handbook are prepared under the direction of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence-Threats. Understanding WMD/E and terrorism spans foreign and domestic threats with specific strategies, tactics, and targets. A central aspect of the handbook is the use of U.S. military capabilities during a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or high yield explosive (CBRNE) incident in a contemporary operational environment (COE). The handbook supports operational missions, institutional training, and professional military education for U.S. military forces in the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) and Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA). The handbook promotes an improved understanding of terrorist objectives, motivation, and intention to use WMD/E, and examines probable missions of U.S. military forces in WMD/E incident response. Compiled from open source materials, the handbook promotes a 'Threats' perspective and enemy situational awareness of U.S. actions in combating terrorism. The handbook exists primarily for U.S. military forces; it invites a common situational awareness in the context of forces that may be deployed in support of a Federal response to a WMD/E incident. Other applicable groups may include interdepartmental, interagency, and intergovernmental personnel; civilian contractors; nongovernmental personnel; private volunteers; humanitarian relief organizations; and the general citizenry.
