Biothreat Assessment
Capability + Intent
![Page 9: America has been targeted. America has been attacked](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649d1f5503460f949f37ef/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Capability• “Loose bugs” readily available• The list of threat agents is formidable and
growing• Relatively inexpensive due to available
technologies for production and storage• Dissemination now more easily accomplished• Requisite knowledge and competency readily
available• “Dual use” technology makes it difficult to
identify clandestine R & D activities• Emergence of genetically engineered
bioagents

IntentNation/States, groups, and individuals of domestic and
international origins motivated by diverse political, social,
economic, religious, or criminal intent view the increased
availability of bioagents as an opportunity to wage asymmetric warfare

Unique characteristics of nuclear, chemical, and biological threats impose the need for a
unique defense doctrine for each threat category.

•Faster diagnosis accelerates the mobilization of treatment and containment actions

Points of effective biodefense interdiction
• Identification and excision of perpetrators/bioweapons before an incident
• Early alert and warning detection• Rapid medical diagnosis• Availability of suitable drugs and vaccines• Forensic and analytical tools for
attribution and retribution

The “Calculus of Risk” has changed dramatically with
the ready availability of
biologic agents suitable for
warfare
![Page 76: America has been targeted. America has been attacked](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649d1f5503460f949f37ef/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Unfortunately, no assurance is evident
that the federal response strategy can
provide proficient incident management
and crisis control against a bioincident.
![Page 77: America has been targeted. America has been attacked](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649d1f5503460f949f37ef/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
The functional inadequacies posed by
the doctrinal vacuum and fragmented and uncoordinated organizational
responsibilities for biodefense constitute a
major source of vulnerability.

Disturbing inter-agency rivalries and a lack of
cross-agency awareness of the full spectrum of
the activities being undertaken make for
inefficient integration of biodefense activities.

Realistic simulation scenarios have
demonstrated that local response capabilities are ill-informed, poorly financed, not well trained or drilled, and not integrated into the
federal response system that will be inevitably introduced into any
bioincident.

Medical and public health responses to a bioweapons
attack are extremely complex requiring swift
interdiction by a plethora of local, state, and federal agencies in collaboration with an equally diverse
array of non-governmental organizations

Although the probability of a
bioattack is difficult to assess, the social
and political consequences of any
incident will be disproportionately
high.
