National Entity Survival: Measure and Countermeasure.

Abstract

The report provides a comprehensive review of national entity survival studies with respect to possible methods to calibrate national survival levels in view of various levels of resource losses due to attack and to the use and need for alternative countermeasures. The report defines various levels of U.S. viability in which postattack concepts of operation would fundamentally differ and describes general conditions under which expedient measures are most useful. Conditions for effective advanced planning for postattack recovery are discussed. (Author)
