This research provides evidence that preemptive employment of an
electromagnetic pulse device by a rogue state over US
pre-positioned forces could have deleterious effects on US
first-strike capability, resulting in decreased US regional combat
power while degrading, delaying, and possibly deterring further US
action. Additionally, it presents a series of measures for
preventing, preparing for, and protecting US deployed forces
against an asymmetric electromagnetic pulse (EMP) threat. While the
United States remains the sole conventional military superpower in
the World, potential adversaries will seek ways to counter her
dominance. The preemptive use of an electromagnetic pulse weapon
over pre-deployed US forces is capable of silencing, permanently
degrading, or destroying sensitive electronics prevalent in modern
US military hardware. Current neglect of nuclear hardening
practices, acquisition of electronically sensitive
commercial-off-the-shelf components for US military hardware, and
the lack of a firm US EMP retaliation policy make nuclear EMP a
particularly attractive weapon-of-choice. This research concludes
that the potential impacts to US pre-deployed forces from a
preemptive EMP attack would be unacceptable; ultimately degrading,
delaying, and possibly deterring the United States from further
action against the offending nation. Furthermore, the US military
can no longer remain reactive to the threat of EMP attack; instead
it must adopt a proactive program of prevention, protection, and
policy for her military forces. Through selective shielding of
tactical systems, hardness assuredness programs, organic missile
defense, and a concrete policy for US response, the United States
can better guarantee the survival and combat effectiveness of her
deployed military.
