Threat strategy
HD strategic threat environment is based on the following conditions and profiles:[3]
- Diminished protection afforded by geographic distances
- Traditional threats remain
- Greater risk of a weapon of mass destruction attack
- Increased potential for miscalculation and surprise
- Increased potential for terrorist attacks
- Increased challenges from weak and failing states and non-state actors
- Increasing diversity in sources and unpredictability of the locations of conflict
- Threats to US vital interests overseas
- Increasing transnational.
Responses to the changes in any of the above can affect US's international environment through the application of diplomatic, economic, military, and informational means. Thus, a proactive and comprehensive approach to HD is required for US's response.[3]
