FACTORS OPERATIVE IN A POST-ARMS CONTROL SITUATION, VOLUME 1
Abstract
Arms control is seen to be different from disarmament. The objectives of arms control are not necessarily different from those of the military, and some arms control measures may be desirable strategic options which tend to increase the national security. Various arms control and disarmament proposals are examined, and the effects of each on military capability to preserve the national security and protect vital national interests are analyzed. The following proposals are examined: U. S. and USSR proposals for GCD (general and complete disarmament) military missions and observation posts; the Johnson 'Five-Point Program' including the verified freeze; closure of overseas bases; and nuclear free zones. Implications of these and other arms control proposals on the Zuckert-Page Ten Military Policy goals and the following national security problem areas are analyzed: deterrence of attack on the U. S. by major powers; deterrence of attack on the U. S. by minor powers; security of interests in Latin America; subversion and economic warfare; and open or clandestine rearmament.
