Are we as unprepared as we were in 1917? Or as ready as we were in 1990? War in Korea would be chemical. That has consequences for military operations. Are we ready for them?
We are always reading here at CBRNPro.net. A lot of that includes books related to CBRN history or CBRN issues. So when we finish one of those we like to offer our readers a review. Philip Ball's Serving the Reich is not directly associated with CBRN, but it touches on a very real aspect of dealing with CBRN as developed by authoritarian states (which is most of it) through the case study of the Nazi nuclear program. Check our review out at CBRNPro.net and follow us on Facebook for news and updates.
CBRNPro.net is back at it. So is Dr. Strangelove. In case you missed it between all the Republican debates, America is modernizing its nuclear arsenal. We examine its history and ask some difficult questions about this enterprise.
Here we go again...back to the future. Is the Vienna agreement any different from the deal struck in Paris in 2004? In our latest post CBRNPro.net examines the Vienna deal with Iran, the National Council for Resistance in Iran, and why this is really all about containment and delaying the inevitable.
CBRNPro.net spent most of May talking about Russian nuclear weapons and policy. Our latest post has links to all those posts and additional information for those wanting to get up to speed on this suddenly relevant issue.
Today, CBRNPro.net examines how an Italian general and airpower advocate sparked the transition of chemical warfare from a weapon with significant tactical utility, to a strategic weapon of mutual deterrence. We also look at some aspects of chemical warfare in WWII.
While we are working on our continuing series on CBRN operations, here is a new feature to CBRNPro.net - book reviews, the first in a series, this one on Eric Schlosser's Command and Control.
Continuing our series on an alternate approach to CBRN operations. Remember that time on the Muppets when Dr. Bunsen set Beaker on fire? Don't be the Beaker (Meep). Taking down a clandestine lab or a small scale production or research lab is serious business. CBRNPro.net explores some of the whys and hows.
