Implications of Present Knowledge and Past Experience for a Possible Future Chemical/Conventional Conflict

Abstract

This report is based on papers presented at a CW conference in February 1984 to explore the implications of present knowledge and past experience for a possible future chemical/conventional conflict. The objective of the study was to stimulate new thought on the subject of possible future CW by involving as broad a group as possible. Three areas of research were pursued: the historical experience of past chemical combat; the nature of contemporary and anticipated chemical agents; and the weapons, equipment doctrine, and training which Soviet forces would bring to such warfare.
