Published by the United States Government Accountability Office; October 2017 http://www.gao.gov/assets/690/687675.pdf Biological threats come from a variety of sources and can pose a catastrophic danger to public health, animal and plant health, and national security. Threat awareness, which consists of activities such as collecting and analyzing intelligence, developing risk assessments, and anticipating future threats, is vital to help federal agencies identify necessary biodefense capabilities and ensure investments are prioritized to make effective use of federal funds. GAO was asked to review how key federal agencies develop and share threat awareness information, and how that information informs further investments in biodefense. This report describes: (1) the types of actions that key federal agencies have taken to develop biological threat awareness, and how that information is used to support investment decisions; (2) the extent to which these agencies have developed shared threat awareness; and (3) how DHS’s NBACC determines what additional threat characterization knowledge to pursue. twitter.com/USAF_CUWS | cuws.au.af.mil // 2 // USAFCUWS Outreach Journal Issue 1286 // TABLE OF CONTENTS US NUCLEAR WEAPONS • Air Force to Fire Next-Gen ICBM Prototypes in 2020 • Trump Says He Wants Nuclear Arsenal in ‘Tip-Top Shape,’ Denies Desire to Increase Stockpile • Experts Urge U.S. Military to ‘Develop and Deploy Enhanced-EMP Nuclear Weapons’ • NATO Members Train to Nuke a ‘Fictional’ Enemy after Major Russian Drills US COUNTER-WMD • Pressing, Multiplying Biodefense Issues Plague U.S., Experts Say • Formidable Shield 2017: Ship Engages BMD Target During NATO Exercise, MDA and Navy Conduct SM-6 Test Launch • First Shipment of ANTHIM Anthrax Treatment Delivered to Strategic National Stockpile • What Do We Need?

    ICT Incident and Activists Database PERIODIC REVIEW Summary of Terrorist Incidents and Counter-Terrorist Operations Worldwide September 2014 International Institute for Counter Terrorism (ICT) Additional resources are available on the ICT Website: www.ict.org.il Highlights On September 1, Ahmed Abdi Godane, the leader of Al-Shabab Al-Mujahideen, was killed in a US airstrike in Somalia. On September 5, Godane's death was officially confirmed by the group and Abu Ubaidah (aka Ahmad Umar) was named the new leader. On September 2, a video was posted to the internet by the Islamic State (IS), titled “A Second Message to America”. The video showed the beheading of American-Israeli journalist, Steven Sotloff. In the video, Sotloff was forced to read a statement placing blame for his execution on US foreign policy towards the IS. On September 4, Al-Qaeda leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, announced the formation of an Indian branch of Al-Qaeda, to be known as Al-Qaeda in South Asia, which would focus on India, Myanmar and Bangladesh. Following this, on September 16, the group claimed responsibility for the attempted hijacking of a Pakistani Navy frigate, the PNS Zulfiquar, in the Arabian Sea. On September 14, authorities in Kampala, Uganda, together with US authorities, foiled a major Al-Shabaab Al-Mujahideen plot intended to target bars, hotels and Uganda's largest university. Authorities arrested 19 people, and seized explosives and suicide vests. On September 16, the Arab Bank was found liable in New York, USA, for providing material support to Hamas. The civil suit marked the first time a bank had faced a trial under the Anti- Terrorism Act, which allows victims of US-designated foreign terrorist organizations to seek compensation.

During prominent naval battles in the twentieth century, from Jutland in World War I to the U.S. Navy’s clash with imperial Japanese forces off Leyte in 1944, smoke literally contributed to “the fog of war” and added to the 1 complexity and confusion of battle. But is there a role for smoke or other obscurants at sea in the radar-saturated, cyber-linked maritime environment of the twenty-first century? And what, if any, are the strategic implications of obscurants? This article will explore the latter question, leaving the tactical and operational opportunities of “making smoke” for separate inquiry.

It should be strong enough to deal with any thick and thin situations regardless of the consequences. Every aspect of the relationship between the two countriesbe it strategic, diplomatic, commercial or political have always stood strong and never wavered for even a bit.The paybacks of the project will become visible progressively and they certainly call for strength and will power both on the part of Pakistan and China to attain their foreseeable goals in the preeminent achievable approach. Moreover, there should be liberated and facilitated exchange programs of students as well as business personnel between the two countries. Pakistani companies should be encouraged to develop joint ventures with multinational Chinese countries, which would help infiltrate the Chinese market as well as the global market. These joint ventures will also help in transfer of technology, management skills and improve innovation in products and services.

  • Strategic Analysis of Pakistan Navy's Multilateral Exercise AMAN-2021
    CENTRE FOR STRATEGIC AND CONTEMPORARY RESEARCH Perspectives Issue No. 23 26 March 2021 Strategic Analysis of Pakistan Navy’s Multilateral Exercise AMAN-2021 Author: Zaki Khalid* Key Points: • Pakistan Navy recently concluded the seventh iteration of its flagship multilateral exercise “AMAN”. • Countries in Asia (including West Asia/Iran/Gulf) comprised the largest share of AMAN-2021 participants region- wise, followed by Europe. • The AMAN series of multilateral exercises are “significant in fostering regional cooperation for maintaining good order at sea, improving interoperability and exhibiting a common resolve against crimes and illicit activities in the maritime domain.” • The most-cited example of AMAN-2021’s success was the common platform available for the US, NATO, Russia, Iran and China to huddle together under a neutral banner for engagements in a purely apolitical environment. A prominent takeaway was the International Fleet Review that culminated in the North Arabian Sea. • AMAN-2021 provided a platform to promote a better understanding between Pakistani and US naval officers. • The exercise received limited mainstream media projection outside Pakistan, despite the fanfare that it provided a platform for the Russian Navy and NATO member states to hold maritime manoeuvres together after almost a decade • Limited Southeast Asian participation suggests Islamabad’s casual approach in executing economic diplomacy with Southeast Asia. • Despite its success, certain aspects of AMAN-2021 merit a high-level review by the authorities concerned, including improving public relations operations, regulating foreign media activities, and juxtaposing AMAN with RMSP. Also, there is a need to strengthen relations with the and IOR Island States and to fortify the lobbying for IORA membership.

  • New Trends in Sino-Pak Defence and Strategic Relations Since 9/11: Indian Concern
    South Asian Studies A Research Journal of South Asian Studies Vol. 30, No.2, July – December 2015, pp. 247 – 263. New Trends in Sino-Pak Defence and Strategic Relations since 9/11: Indian Concern Zahid Ali Khan Abdul Wali Khan University, Mardan. Shabir Ahmad University of Peshawar, Peshawar. Abstract Pakistan relations with China remain a cornerstone of Pakistan’s foreign Policy. Their common views, perceptions, approaches, and policies at the regional and global level made them a durable friends, allies and partners. Their hostility towards India, their support each other in wars against India, and the conclusion of different agreements further strengthened their bilateral mutual relations between these two countries. And above all, China’s moral, diplomatic, political, financial, and military support since 1971 proved a great source of consolation and encouragement to Pakistan in the difficult hours. In the changing global scenario since 9/11, witnessed drastic improvement in Sino-Pak military and strategic relations. Exchange of visits by high leaderships and other dignitaries, their growing coordination in Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, Persian Gulf and Gwadar, the signing of naval and military agreements, their missiles and nuclear cooperation, provided both the countries with opportunity to counterweight India’s growing hegemony and supremacy. On her part, India is trying its best to frustrate the growing Sino- Pak Defence nexus by using a variety of tactics in order to protect and safeguard her interest in the region. Key Words: Defence, Strategy, Technology, Missile, Weapons, Military, Regional, Global, Partnership, Cooperation, Alliance, Agreement, MoUs, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean, USA, Sino, Pak, India.
