The DoD Key Asset Protection Program

Abstract

America's industrial base is vital to the national security strategy. Is this industrial base protected against sabotage and terrorist attack? Can the United States ensure the security of industrial production during mobilization or other national emergency? If so, whose responsibility is it? This paper is an analysis of one of the current initiatives that the federal government is taking to answer the above questions--the DOD Key Asset Protection Program (KAPP). After providing background material, including definitions, the historical basis and program objectives are reviewed; a current KAPP overview is provided; KAPP capabilities and future challenges are discussed; and finally, conclusions are presented.
