Since the 1960s, U.S. political leaders have engaged in a
controversial debate regarding the deployment of a strategic
ballistic missile defense (BMD) system to protect the American
homeland. Using an analytic framework consisting of prerequisites
for successful strategic weapon programs, this book assesses BMD
proposals from the Cold War era (focusing primarily on the 1967
"Sentinel" proposal). The book develops a consensus-building
approach to future strategic BMD policies that is based on lessons
learned from Cold War proposals, recent congressional initiatives,
and developments in the international security environment. To
protect the American people from emerging rogue state threats and
potential accidental or unauthorized launches from China and
Russia, the United States should deploy a limited strategic BMD
system comprising multiple ground-based interceptor sites supported
by space-based missile tracking sensors. The study includes a
comprehensive arms control proposal aimed at working with Russia
and other strategic powers to continue the reduction of Cold War
offensive arsenals while deploying limited defenses. Pursuit of the
Shield presents a new strategic agenda for a new era, one that will
reinforce world peace and security. With a foreword by Senator John
Warner, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Ending the U.S. war in Iraq required redeploying 100,000 military
and civilian personnel; handing off responsibility for 431
activities to the Iraqi government, U.S. embassy, USCENTCOM, or
other U.S. government entities; and moving or transferring
ownership of over a million pieces of property in accordance with
U.S. and Iraqi laws, national policy, and DoD requirements. This
book examines the planning and execution of this transition.

An attacker's missile-borne countermeasures to ballistic missile
defenses are known as penetration aids, or penaids. To support
efforts to prevent the proliferation of penaid-related items, this
research recommends controls on potential exports according to the
structure of the international Missile Technology Control Regime.
