Homeland Defense Workshops
A nationally accepted definition of “Homeland Defense” does not currently exist, and is often a topic of debate. The potential scope of Homeland Defense is so immense that our approach for the first half of 2000 is to host a series of threat-specific workshops designed to help narrow the focus to those significant areas needing immediate attention. The workshops engage leading thinkers from government, industry, and academia in the fields of counter chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and cyber-terrorism analysis, strategy, policy, and operations.
This report documents findings from the first in this series of workshops, held on 11 February 2000.
The initial daylong workshop utilized a transnational scenario in which U.S. facilities were attacked with a biological agent that could effectively disperse throughout both military and civilian communities. The objective of the workshop was to step through the US Government processes and activities required to successfully prevent, deter and detect a biological attack against United States territory. It focused on a very specific, plausible type of threat in order to encourage new thinking and stimulate discussion and debate about observable activities associated with a terrorist strike.
