Fighting the Anti-Ballistic Missile Campaign from the Theater Commander's Perspective
Abstract
The maintenance of regional order will require Theater commanders-in- chief to plan flexibly and comprehensively to defeat an emerging tactical ballistic missile threat. The history of tactical ballistic missile use in warfare and the resulting strategic implications are reviewed. Possibilities for developing new approaches to countering the employment of tactical ballistic missiles are proposed. This discussion centers on conceptual issues and explores initiatives worthy of further study. This paper introduces a phased flexible deterrent strategy which includes cooperation with other departments of the government, revised national and theater strategies, modifications of the current theater commander-in-chief's staff organization and use of apportioned forces....Anti-Tactical Ballistic Missile Defense, ATBM
