Combating Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction

Illustrative 05x Sub-functionAs a starting point, this sub-function should include current proliferation-related efforts, aswell as WMD-related counter-terrorism and domestic preparedness activities. It shouldalso include, as possible, particular arms control (e.g., the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treatyor the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty), epidemiological (e.g. bio-surveillance),commercial (e.g., export control), and other specific activities of interest. Some armscontrol (e.g., land mines), counter-terrorism , and infrastructure protection activities, wouldnot be included.WMD-related programs are currently run by at least eight different cabinet-leveldepartments—Defense, Energy, Commerce, State, Justice, Treasury, Health and HumanServices, and Agriculture—along with the Intelligence Community. This should also coversuch interagency technology development groups as the CPRC, TSWG, and NPAC TWG.While the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Environmental Protection Agency, theDepartment of Transportation, and other non-designated federal actors play some role incounter-terrorism, most, if not all, of their respective activities would not be included in the05x account.As an illustration, the following activities from the various federal departments andagencies that should become part of the newly-created 05x account are enumeratedbelow (anything not explicitly mentioned should stay as it is):Department of Defense• Cooperative Threat Reduction program• Passive measures, such as chem-bio defense programs• Active measures, such as counterforce capabilities (e.g., weapons to defeathardened, deeply-buried targets)• DoD-Customs and DoD-FBI counter-proliferation programs• Select force protection efforts and special operations capabilities [TBD]• Intelligence support activities (i.e., specific WMD-related GDIP and TIARA)• Domestic preparedness program• Most currently-specified CPRC, TSWG, and NPAC TWG RDT&E efforts• Diplomatic support activities carried out by the Office of NonproliferationPolicy and others, such as DTRA’s On-Site Inspection Directorate• Select planning capabilities (including personnel) in the Joint Staff, DTRA,and elsewhere [as appropriate, TBD]148
