The advent of more deadly forms of terrorism has challenged all governments to craft responses that stop terrorism while strengthening democracy – and without breeding more terrorism. The era of new terrorism is fraught with paradoxes and dilemmas that require decision-makers to develop a thorough understanding of the threats they face, as well as a comprehensive appreciation for the tools available to them for developing effective responses. No single government can respond effectively to the new terrorism, laced as it is with global net worked support. Neither can any single agency within government execute the strategy necessary to prevail over terrorist networks. These conditions place international and interagency coordination at the very center of all successful strategies for combating terrorism.

The Center for Civil-Military Relations (CCMR) offers a one- or two-week seminar in 'Civil-Military Responses to Terrorism', hosted by security assistance officers in selected countries. The key objectives of the course of instruction are to: (1) support international understanding of the politico-military components of combating international terrorism; and (2) enhance the capabilities of coalition partners to develop effective short- and longterm programs to combat terrorism that are consistent with democratic principles.

Some terrorist organizations have become sophisticated enough to actually steal or destroy a warhead, while the Special Purpose Forces of the Soviet Union retain the facility to curtail the reliability of American strategic systems from within the United States or Europe. These two very real threats are derived from the same factors - the openness of American society, and the enormous difficulty of providing security for these weapons. Because it is difficult to separate terrorism issues, the analysis of possible outcomes goes beyond the weapons themselves to include nuclear materials and power plants. ; Defense Nuclear Agency ; http://archive.org/details/shelteringgeniel00shem ; MIPR DDWAM00035, 90005, 90038 ; NA ; Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.
