Course ID: ISP 210  Course Title: Controlling Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction
Course Description: A course on proliferation and strategies for its control, covering the spread to state and non-state actors of nuclear, biological, chemical, ballistic missile weapons and technology, and other technologies of destruction such as cyber attack. Designed for practitioners and mixes theory and history with current problem-solving. Beginning with a �how-to� guide to weapons of mass destruction and their effects, the course reviews theories about the spread and control of proliferation from social science literature, postwar history, and international nonproliferation norms and treaties. Applies these tools to recent instances of proliferation control and failure in Ukraine, South Africa, Iraq, North Korea, India/Pakistan, mass destruction terrorism, and �loose nukes� in Russia. Students will develop a comprehensive policy framework for proliferation control in the twenty first century, ranging from international diplomacy and norms to use of military force. The objective is both to strengthen students� grasp of the underlying concepts and to make them effective career practitioners in the U.S. government, other foreign governments, international organizations, or NGOs. Students are required to simulate realistic policy-making situations and to produce professional products as assignments: concise memos, briefings, and oral and written testimony.

Course ID: MGT314  Course Title: Enhanced Incident Management Unified Command Course
Course Description: The Enhanced IM/UC course focuses on incident management skills, staff responsibilities and the related situational awareness and decision-making skills using a computer-driven training simulation to offer a challenging decision-making environment in a WMD scenario. The course focuses on the Incident Command Post (ICP) and the key decision-making requirements within that response node. Participants learn from the cause and effects of incident decisions while working in an ICP using a simulated, notional jurisdiction. The course begins with a short overview of WMD emergency response considerations and methodologies of the Incident Command System (ICS) in a unified command structure followed by several rigorous computer-driven emergency response chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) scenarios. The course is delivered (resident) in the world-class NERRTC EOTC in College Station, Texas. The WMD instructional team consists of trainers experienced in emergency management and incident response. The course uses a multidiscipline, jurisdictional approach to accomplish the course objectives. Each staff position is integrated into a unified command structure responding to an incident. The course adapts existing incident management systems and procedures to the unique requirements of responding to WMD/terrorism incidents. The overall incident management structure used in the course is based on the National Incident Management System(NIMS) and the National Response Plan (NRP), and is certified by the DHS, Office of Grants and Training.

Course ID: LC514  Course Title: Roots of Terrorism
Course Description: Students in LC514 (INT 660) examine the roots of terrorism from the broadest possible perspective. The required course books encompass the writings of twenty-three known authors and experts on the topic of terrorism, and shorter articles from others are included among the course materials. Scrutinising the full spectrum of terrorism�s roots naturally includes examination of independent terrorist groups and state sponsored terrorist attacks, from all political and sociological viewpoints, but moreover this course evaluates a truly comprehensive array of held reasons and catalysts attributed to the terrorism phenomena, ranging from poverty, absence of democracy, through colonialism to gender related issues. In special focus among the printed and media (DVD) course materials is the ongoing Middle East conflict and suicide bombings, which arguably pose the greatest potential threat to contemporary International peace and social stability.

Course Description: The main purpose of this seminar is to bring these two subjects- intelligence and international terrorism- together for examination. The course will begin with a discussion of what is intelligence and what is terrorism. Various perspectives on each of these issues will be reviewed . Next, the students will be introduced to the four major elements of intelligence� collection, counterintelligence, analysis and estimates, covert action.

After each of the elements is described in terms of its principals, activities and organization the issue of its role in counter terrorist policy and strategy will be explored. The final two topics that will be examined in the seminar include: domestic intelligence in a democratic society; and the relationship between intelligence, policymaking, and crisis management. Each of these two topics will be addressed in terms of the policy issues of terrorism and counterterrorism.

Course Title: Terrorism in the 21st Century
Course Description: After a few background sessions on the meaning, vocabulary, and history of terrorism, we will discuss what is known about the major terrorist groups in the world today, particularly those threatening the United States. We will then explore and assess options for increasing safety and a sense of security beginning with the major possibilities for prevention: intelligence; control of terrorist access to targets and resources; and deterrence. Issues of civil liberties and civil rights at home and human rights abroad are major considerations here. Next we will turn to the foreign policy dimension of fighting terrorism, ranging from ad hoc cooperative efforts, through coalitions, to actions by the United Nations. The use, limits, and abuse of military force falls into this area. Finally we will address the problems of managing and reducing harmful consequences of a successful terrorist attack, as is illustrated by the handling of the World Trade Center bombings by New York City. We will use as a text Terrorism and America by Professor Heymann, which will be supplemented extensively with articles on each of the subjects. For the first class, students should read both prefaces and the introduction (Chapter One) of Terrorism and America.

Course ID: FUN100  Course Title: WMD/Terrorism Incident Functional Exercise
Course Description: The WMD/Terrorism Exercise program is designed to help prepare jurisdictions (Cities, Counties, Ports and Airports, Industry) for consequence management functions after a terrorist attack that employed chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and/or explosive (CBRNE) weapons. It is an assessment-based exercise conducted in the community in the context of their Threat and Risk Assessment and focuses on the jurisdiction's Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). It exercises the planning and response actions between the Incident Command Post (ICP), the jurisdiction Emergency Operations Center (EOC), and other organizations and agencies that would normally be involved in the emergency response efforts following a WMD/terrorist incident. It allows the individual participants and staffs to work together and to improve overall response abilities and staff coordination. Participants work in their actual positions (ICP or EOC), in small group discussions, or in participant activities in a realistic multimedia scenario based on the type of exercise. The exercise is facilitated by subject matter experts (SME) in an observer/controller role. Activities are concluded by conducting a facilitator-lead, after action review (AAR). The AAR consists of open, self-discovery discussions with participants in order to reinforce the strengths in their plan and to identify areas in need of improvement. The exercise process begins with the community assisting in the development of the exercise. NERRTC will visit the jurisdiction prior to the scheduled exercise to develop jurisdiction-selected training objectives, discuss possible training scenarios, and formulate a mutually agreed on exercise plan. NERRTC is prepared to plan and facilitate the full range of exercises in accordance with the US Department of Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP). Once a basic design is developed, training is provided at the jurisdiction�s location. Upon completion of the exercise NERRTC will complete a post-exercise report that highlights the events of the exercise. It will include the exercise master events list, a summary of exercise events, and training observations made by subject matter experts addressing the ICP, the EOC, and any other responding emergency command or supporting node requested in the exercise drafting process. The post-exercise report is provided to the jurisdiction leadership about 45 days after the completion of the final after action review (AAR).

Course ID: Law 496  Course Title: Technology, Terrorism, and National Security Law Seminar
Course Description: The information revolution and America�s increasing utilization and reliance upon computers has undeniably affected our societal infrastructure, including the functioning of our economy, provision for our national security, conducting of business by the government as well as the private sector, and how individuals engage in their daily lives. The rapid advancement of technology has likewise le to an inextricable linking of the various systems and establishments that form the critical infrastructure of our nation. America�s critical infrastructure is comprised of those systems and assets � both physical and cyber in nature � that are so vital to the nation that their incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating impact on national security national economic security and/or national public health and safety. Such systems include areas such as transportation, power and energy, communications, finance and banking, and emergency systems. While the establishment and linking of all of these systems creates opportunities for business, trade, convenience, efficiency and the ability to better our lives, America�s dependency upon technology likewise opens it to vulnerability from hostile threats. Attacks upon America�s national infrastructure could crash key computer-dependent control networks such as electrical power grids, telecommunications systems and networks, transportation systems and financial institutions. A deliberate and concerted attack by a party hostile to the U.S. on one or more of these key systems, whether governmental or privately-owned, could have devastating effects. In recognition of the very real threat of this new breed of terrorism � cyber terrorism � the U.S. Government therefore issued a number of directives and regulations focused on unifying governmental and private commercial sector resources in establishing a comprehensive national cyber defense to protect the critical infrastructure. The juxtaposition of the real and perceived threats of Cyber terrorism with America�s dedication to preserving the civil liberties of its citizens gives rise to a significant number of legal issues of first impression. Moreover, as the relevant technology continues to develop rapidly, the ability of the law to keep pace or anticipate dynamic situations is often severely stretched. This course will explore the convergence of the existing laws, equities and variables in this compelling multidisciplinary area, along with the tensions that are created as a result of the various competing concerns.

Course ID: IR375  Course Title: Government and Security in Western Europe
Course Description: This course will examine the multi-dimensional aspects of the evolution of the European Union and how it is related to the new era of security issues, as the region has evolved and developed under the influence of the free market and political unification on one hand, and the democratization of the neighboring Eastern states on the other. For much of the Cold War the concept of security was examined in terms of military power, while after 1990 the concept was broadened to include politics, economics, society, environment, disease, terrorism as well as military capabilities. The continent presents a unique topic of evaluation not only because of its enlargement but also because of the expanding role of NATO and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). There will be an examination of the security management challenges with an emphasis on peace operations. The course will also assess future security concerns and they way they are tied to the spread of market-democracies as well as the new relationship between the US and the EU.

Course ID: MH402  Course Title: Low Intensity Conflict
Course Description: This course will introduce the student to the major components of low-intensity conflict, including insurgency, counter-insurgency, terrorism, and psychological warfare. The term "low-intensity conflict" has a controversial political history; there is neither a rigorous definition nor a consensus on the exact boundaries. For the purpose of this course, "low-intensity conflict" (LIC) covers any warfare short of the actual confrontation between the armed forces of two states. It thus includes hostile action between states short of war, including psychological operations and cyberwarfare, as well as military operations involving non-state actors, such as popular insurgencies, terrorist groups, and even criminal organizations (such as drug cartels) whose activities have political consequences. LIC thus refers to a range of activities, not to a particular forces, doctrines, or forms of organization. Although the Department of Defense organization associates LIC with special operations forces, there is no conceptual connection. Originally, the concept of LIC fitted into a larger framework, with medium intensity conflict referring to conventional warfare and high intensity conflict to the use of weapons of mass destruction. The use of chemical weapons by the Japanese terrorist group Aum Shin Rikiyo in 1995, however, showed that framework falls short of reality. (IMPORTANT NOTICE: MH402 (Section Z) is available as an internship course ONLY to students currently serving in a Special Operations and/or Low Intensity Conflict assignment or position.
