COOPERATIVE THREAT REDUCTION

LOGISITICS SUPPORT (CLS)

STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES

1. BACKGROUND. With the passage of the Soviet Nuclear Threat Reduction Act of 1991, Senators Sam Nunn and Richard Lugar enabled a far reaching program that responds to the threat of proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and related expertise and knowledge. Since 1992, the Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) Program within the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has been the Department of Defense’s (DoD) chief agent in carrying out that program. Originally, CTR’s focus was geographically limited to the former Soviet Union, but the 2008 National Defense Authorization Act permitted CTR to broaden that focus worldwide. Recently, increased National emphasis has been placed on addressing the global threat from WMD. On April 5, 2009, the President announced an effort to secure all vulnerable nuclear material within 4 years. The CTR Program is participating in the planning for this effort and requested funds to support the effort in 2011-2015. On November 23, 2009, the President signed the “National Strategy for Countering Biological Threats,” which mandates actions to reduce risks of biological weapons proliferation and terrorism and for the long-term management of risks posed by the misuse of the life sciences. Recognizing the potential biological threat, the CTR Program has been working with willing partners in Former Soviet Union (FSU) states, developing unique capabilities to address this threat. DTRA/CTR has requested funds to expand this effort to projects and activities outside the FSU and has already begun engagement with countries in the Middle East, Southwest Asia, Southeast Asia, and Africa.

As the CTR program matures and expands its scope of preventing the proliferation of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosive WMD (CBRNE), its support requirements are increasing. While still conducting operations in the FSU, the emphasis has shifted to infrastructure and other support services beyond the FSU. The primary mission of CTR’s Program Integration Support (CTIS) organization is to plan, program, manage, and execute an effective logistics program in support of all CTR projects.
