Soviet Theater Nuclear Forces' Issues.
Abstract
This study examines the Soviet approach to transition from conventional to theater nuclear war in the context of Soviet political and military style. The factors governing the Soviet approach to nuclear transition are examined in Part 1 of the study. Part 2 explores a wide array of incentives and disincentives for Soviet nuclear transition and suggests ways in which NATO actions can affect the balance of incentives and disincentives facing the Soviet planner. Part 3 integrates and summarizes the conclusions of Parts 1 and 2, and suggests measures for NATO action.
