Abstract

While we may disagree with the implications of what strategy deters, a nuclear strategy must deal with the real emergence of an uncertainty in the strategic environment. Strategies and patterns of force must flow from a concept of what deters, given the physical environment, and must be devised and procured relevant to current and future realities.
