New threats require new thinking. State attacks involving
long-range missiles or conventional military forces are not the
only threat to the U.S. homeland. Covert attacks by state actors,
state use of proxies, independent terrorist and extremist attacks
by foreign groups or individuals-and even by residents of the
United States-are significant issues for future U.S. security. In
this comprehensive work, Cordesman offers a range of
recommendations, from reevaluating what constitutes a threat and
bolstering homeland defense measures, to improving resource
allocation and sharpening intelligence. There is a wide spectrum of
potential threats to the U.S. homeland that do not involve overt
attacks by states using long-range missiles or conventional
military forces. Such threats include covert attacks by state
actors, state use of proxies, independent terrorist and extremist
attacks by foreign groups or individuals, and independent terrorist
and extremist attacks by residents of the United States. These
threats are currently limited in scope and frequency, but are
emerging as potentially significant issues for future U.S.
security. In this comprehensive work, Cordesman argues that new
threats require new thinking, and offers a range of
recommendations, from expanding the understanding of what
constitutes a threat and bolstering Homeland defense measures, to
bettering resource allocation and improving intelligence gathering
and analysis. No pattern of actual attacks on U.S. territory has
yet emerged that provides a clear basis for predicting how serious
any given form of attack might be in the future, what means of
attack might be used, or how lethal new forms of attack might be.
As a result, there is a major ongoing debate over the seriousness
of the threat and how the U.S. government should react. This work
is an invaluable contribution to that debate.
