The Doctrine for Joint Nuclear Operations was a U.S. Department of Defense document publicly discovered in 2005 on the circumstances under which commanders of U.S. forces could request the use of nuclear weapons. The document was a draft being revised to be consistent with the Bush doctrine of preemptive attack. ==Doctrine== The doctrine cites eight reasons under which field commanders can ask for permission to use nuclear weapons: *An enemy using or threatening to use WMD against US, multinational, or alliance forces or civilian populations. *To prevent an imminent biological attack. *To attack enemy WMD or its deep hardened bunkers containing WMD that could be used to target US or its allies. *To stop potentially overwhelming conventional enemy forces. *To rapidly end a war on favorable US terms. *To ensure US and international operations are successful. *To show US intent and capability to use nuclear weapons to deter the enemy from using WMDs. *To react to enemy-supplied WMD use by proxies against the US and international forces or civilians. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Doctrine for Joint Nuclear Operations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
