COURSE OVERVIEW
The focus of this Nuclear Weapons and Strategic Deterrence Training will be on US nuclear weapon systems and deterrence design but will include a contrasting review of relevant Soviet/Russian systems and perspectives. The nuclear systems of the other nuclear weapon states will be covered as well. The Nuclear Weapons and Strategic Deterrence Training course concludes with examining current trends and headlines.
This two-day Nuclear Weapons and Strategic Deterrence Training course will provide a broad introduction to the technology and operations of nuclear weapons and concepts of strategic deterrence. It uses unclassified and declassified source material to help you understand the environment of nuclear weapons of today. You will learn how nuclear weapons work, how they are operated, and the effects they can create. You will also learn about nuclear war planning, employment policies, strategic exercises, and treaties. Case studies will provide a critical context for examining how theories of nuclear threats and use play out in the real world.
