Report of the Project Team for Smart Defence Project 1.1045- Vol 2, Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for Bio Response
Abstract
Following the international response to the outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease in West Africa in 2014, the International Military Staff of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) proposed a Smart Defence project to enhance the alliances ability to respond to a biological outbreak. The United States agreed to lead the project, and the U.S. Army Office of the Surgeon General served as the office of primary responsibility. The project, ultimately titled Smart Defence 1.1045 (SD 1.1045) involved 14 nations and multiple NATO commands and activities. This paper serves as the historical record of the activities of SD 1.1045, and delivers the results of those activities to the Committee of Chiefs of Military Medical Services (COMEDS), the Allied Command Transformation, the Allied Command Operations, and the International Military Staff. Volume 1 summarizes the historical record of the project and Volume 2 presents a concept of operations (CONOPS) for a NATO response to a biological outbreak.
