C.1: Acquisition of WMD
Prevent or neutralize the foreign acquisition of WMD technology or equipment which, if acquired, would constitute immediate
danger to the United States.
Other Information:
The devastating results of WMD being successfully used against the United States or its interests are self-evident. Therefore,
eliminating the potential for a hostile group or foreign nation to enhance its capability to produce or use WMD is our top
counterintelligence priority. We will strive to prevent WMD-related technologies from being openly or clandestinely transferred
from the U.S. Government or the private sector to any foreign power, be it nation-state or non-state actor. Priority Actions:
Know the potential WMD targets of interest to foreign services in the United States. Form strategic partnerships within the
Intelligence Community, and with targeted industries and facilities. Conduct sophisticated operations against those foreign
services targeting WMD to disrupt their efforts.
