National policy precludes the United States from acting
as an aggressor. This nation r^riIl enter war only as a
defensive measure, The enl-stence of world tenslon may eontinue
for an indefinite period of years. lr,lhen these corditions
are considered along with technological developments
in weapons it becomes a matter of national concern that steps
be taken to insure, as much as possible, the survival of the
nation by protecting its people, resources and our form of
government. Protection of the nationls manpower, resources,
and governmental structure can be accomplished only by preattack
planning and action to improve our ability to withstand
a hostile attack and continue to function as local, State and
national entities.
General:
A planned nuclear war i relatively unlikely. The catast@results of a nuclear exchange between this
country and any potential enemy make such an exchange the
least acceptable alternative in a world of conflicting
ideologies and varying forms of government. However, we
as a nation cannot discount the fact that a massive nuclear
exchange is possible even though it may commence through
miscalculation, accident, or a process of escalation from
1 remote limited war effort on another continent. Because of these possibilities, we must make practical preparations
that are feasible and flexible, and keep those preparations
eurrent at alL times by looking ahead to future possibilities.
