  • Next Generation Bioweapons: Genetic Engineering and BW
    Next Generation Bioweapons: Genetic Engineering and BW Michael J. Ainscough US Air Force Counterproliferation Center 14 Future Warfare Series No. 14 CHAPTER 9 Next Generation Bioweapons: Genetic Engineering and BW Michael J. Ainscough Introduction The history of warfare and the history of disease are unquestionably interwoven. Throughout the history of warfare, disease and non-battle injury have accounted for more deaths and loss of combat capability than from actual battle in war itself. The most striking example is the great influenza pandemic during World War I that killed 20 million people or more worldwide in 1918.1 Although this was a naturally occurring event, what if a country could create a biological agent that could yield the same catastrophic loss of life on the enemy? That, in essence, is the potential effect of applying genetic engineering2 for biological warfare (BW) or bioterrorism (BT). Today, we face not only natural diseases (including emerging infectious diseases), but also threats of BW or BT, possibly with genetically engineered agents, that may resist known therapies. In simple terms, genetic engineering is the process of human intervention to transfer functional genes (DNA) between two biological organisms. In the BW/BT context, it is the manipulation of genes to create new pathogenic characteristics (increased survivability, infectivity, virulence, drug resistance, etc). Organisms with altered characteristics are the ―next generation‖ biological weapons. In this century, it is widely predicted that advances in biology and biotechnology will revolutionize society and life as we know it. At the same time, the ―black biology‖ of biotechnology which can be used to 253 Next Generation Bioweapons: Genetic Engineering and BW create biological weapons, will be one of the gravest threats we will face.

  • Joint Service Chemical & Biological Defense Program Overview
    n 1993, Congress passed Public Law 103-160, Section 1703, which created a Joint Service Chemical and Biological Defense Program (CBDP). The mission of the CBDP is to provide Preface world-class chemical and biological defense capabilities to allow the military forces of the I United States to survive and successfully complete their operational missions — from peacetime contingency missions through two nearly simultaneous major theater wars across the entire spectrum of conflict—in battlespace environments contaminated with chemical or biological warfare agents. Under the oversight of a single office within the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Deputy Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Chemical and Biological Defense, the individual Services, working within the framework of a Joint Service Agreement, have planned and supported a robust, coordinated program. This overview document provides highlights of our major efforts within the program, providing a summary of FY00 accomplishments and goals for FY01 and beyond. A separate, more detailed DoD Annual Report to Congress on the Chemical and Biological Defense Program is provided to the Congress. The CBDP focuses on the development and acquisition of an integrated system-of-systems to defend against the various chemical and biological warfare threats facing U.S. forces. No single technology or approach is likely to be effective. Consequently, detection and identification of CB threats, individual and collective protection, decontamination and medical countermeasures play important, complementary roles in countering chemical and biological threats. Since Operation Desert Storm, the CBDP effectively developed and fielded new or improved capabilities that address shortfalls identified during that war. A few examples include the fielding of the Biological Integrated Detection System (BIDS), replacement of chemical alarms with the Automatic Chemical Agent Detector and Alarm (ACADA), and procurement of new, lightweight chemical protective suits for the entire force.
