The CPRC is chaired by the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF); the other members are the Secretary of Energy (as vice chair), the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI), and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS). Together they represent the four organizations that make up the committee. The CPRC is chartered to make and implement recommendations regarding interdepartmental (specifically, DoD, DOE, JCS, and the intelligence community (IC)) activities and programs to address shortfalls in capabilities to counter the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD)-nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC and their means of delivery (NBC/M).
