| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article examines the operational, legal, organizational, and funding aspects of interagency and intra-agency coordination of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) elimination missions conducted by the United States. To illustrate the demands and complexities of these operations, it discusses the requirements of a WMD elimination mission in North Korea following the collapse of the Kim Jong-un regime. It recommends that the US Department of Defense and the broader US government re-examine and expand pre-crisis planning assumptions and associated concepts of operation, and also work to defuse interagency conflicts by establishing clear priorities and encouraging international partners to take a more active role in WMD elimination missions. |
