The Air Force Association's Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies invites you to:
- The Release of a new Study -
America's Nuclear Backbone:
The Value of ICBMs and the New Ground-based Strategic Deterrent
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has delayed and truncated much of the required modernization of the nuclear deterrent enterprise. However, given the rapid modernization of the nuclear forces of nations such as Russia and China, as well as the nuclear aspirations of North Korea and Iran, it is imperative that the nation maintains a highly credible deterrent force to balance this threat.
In this new Mitchell Institute study, Maj Gen Roger W. Burg, USAF (Ret.),explains and examins the elements to maintain, preserve, and strengthen the ICBM leg of the US nuclear deterrent. He describes the political, economic, and military environment that demands the recapitalization of the ICBM force by the new Ground Based Strategic Deterrent, and why the nuclear triad—anchored byGBSD— will remain as relevant to US national security in the 21st century as it was in the 20th century.
Please join us for what promises to be a most interesting discussion.
