Even before September 11, 2001, threat assessments suggested that the United States should prepare to respond to terrorist attacks inside its borders. This report examines the use of military medical assets to support civil authorities in the aftermath of a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or conventional high explosives attacks inside the United States. The authors focus on key questions including under what circumstances military medical assests could be requested and what assets are likely to be requested.
