Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The DoD relies on a global network of DoD and non-DoD infrastructure so critical that its unavailability could have a debilitating effect on DoD's ability to project, support, and sustain its forces and operations worldwide. DoD established the Defense Critical Infrastructure Program (DCIP) to assure the availability of mission-critical infrastructure. This report evaluates the extent to which DoD has: (1) incorporated aspects of DCIP into its exercises in the Transportation Defense Sector; and (2) developed DCIP training standards departmentwide and made installation personnel aware of existing DCIP expertise. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.

Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DoD) relies on a global network of DoD and non-DoD infrastructure so critical that its unavailability could have a debilitating effect on DoD's ability to project, support, and sustain its forces and operations worldwide. DoD established the Defense Critical Infrastructure Program (DCIP) to assure the availability of mission-critical infrastructure. GAO was asked to evaluate the extent to which DoD has done the following: (1) incorporated aspects of DCIP into its exercises in the Transportation Defense Sector, and (2) developed DCIP training standards department-wide and made installation personnel aware of existing DCIP expertise. GAO examined a nonprojectable sample of 46 critical assets representing the four military services, five combatant commands, and selected installations within five defense sectors. GAO reviewed relevant DoD DCIP guidance and documents and interviewed cognizant officials regarding DCIP exercises, training, and awareness. GAO recommends that DoD do the following: (1) develop department-wide DCIP training standards and an implementation time frame, and (2) develop an effective means to communicate to installation personnel the existence and availability of DCIP expertise at the combatant command and military service levels. DoD concurred with both recommendations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS), there are thousands of facilities in the U.S. that if destroyed by a disaster could cause casualties, econ. losses, or disruptions to national security. DHS issued the Nat. Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) in June 2006 to provide the approach for integrating the nation's critical infrastructure and key resources. This report studied DHS's Jan. 2009 revisions to the NIPP in light of a debate over whether DHS has emphasized protection rather than resilience. The report discusses: (1) how the 2009 NIPP changed compared to the 2006 NIPP; and (2) how DHS addressed resiliency as part of their planning efforts. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand edition of an important, hard-to-find report.

Book excerpt: The Dept. of Defense (DoD) established the Defense Critical Infrastructure Program (DCIP) to assure the availability of mission-critical infrastructure, including surface, sea, and air transportation assets to carry out its missions. This report evaluates: (1) the extent to which the U.S. Transportation Command (TRANSCOM) has identified, prioritized, and assessed critical transportation assets; (2) the extent to which DoD installation personnel have taken actions to help assure the availability of critical transportation assets, both within and independent of DCIP; and (3) how DoD is funding critical transportation asset assurance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DoD relies on a global network of defense critical infrastructure (DCI) so essential that the incapacitation or destruction of an asset within this network could severely affect DoD's ability to support its forces worldwide. To identify and help assure the availability of this DCI, in Aug. 2005 DoD established the DCI Program (DCIP). The military services are to identify and place their critical assets into prioritized tiers, incl. Tier 1 Task Critical Assets, which are assets of such importance that their destruction would have a serious effect on the ability of one or more military services to execute their essential tasks. In May 2008, Congress directed a review of DCIP. This report reviews the assurance of electrical power supplies to DoD's critical assets. Illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. DoD relies overwhelmingly on commercial electrical power grids for secure, uninterrupted electrical power supplies to support its critical assets and is the single largest consumer of energy in the U.S. In 2008, it was reported that "[c]ritical national security and homeland defense missions are at an unacceptably high risk of extended outage from failure of the grid". Commercial electrical power grids have become increasingly fragile and vulnerable to extended disruptions that could severely impact DoD's critical assets. This report addresses these issues and argues that with more detailed knowledge of the assets' risks and vulnerabilities to electrical power disruptions, DoD can better avoid compromising crucial DoD-wide missions during electrical power disruptions.

Book excerpt: It is a silent, invisible, and deadly weapons system. It can paralyze an entire nation without a single soldier being sent to war. We glimpsed its potential on television when surgical strikes on radar sites, electrical power plants, and command networks crippled Iraqi forces during the Gulf War. Now, in The Next World War, James Adams shows how a new chapter in military history is being written as the Information Age comes to the battlefield: to bigger and stronger, now add smarter. As increasingly sophisticated computers and microtechnology have become available, the concept of "conventional" warfare has changed. Technology has already made its way to the front lines: soldiers are now equipped, for example, with new "smart" technologies such as handheld computers that allow them to e-mail their commanders. There are devices that can sense an enemy's presence before the enemy is visible, by detecting body heat or by communication with satellites overhead. Robotic "bugs" can even be sent in swarms to sabotage weapons or subdue enemy soldiers. But the most significant and important use of information warfare won't be on the battlefield. The most devastating weapons will be those that target an enemy's infrastructure -- air-control systems, electrical grids, and communication networks, to name just a few potential targets. "Trojan horse" chips or viruses designed to accept and respond to commands from U.S. military intelligence can be installed in computers being sold overseas, making them vulnerable to attack. By hacking into computer systems, the United States could override programmed commands and thus shut down air traffic control systems, and open floodgates and bridges. Misinformation could even be broadcast, for example, by using imaging technology to simulate a television appearance by an enemy nation's leaders. This type of combat puts civilians at more risk than ever, as financial, communication, transportation, and other infrastructure systems become prime military targets. And information warfare puts the United States -- a nation increasingly dependent on technology -- in a position of both definite advantage and extreme vulnerability. In The Next World War, James Adams draws on impressive research as well as his lifetime of reporting on intelligence and military affairs to give us a chilling scenario of how wars will be fought in the new millennium -- and how much closer to home they might strike.
