Dismantling the Cold War
The Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) program has since authorized more than $1.5 billion for a wide array of weapons destruction, demilitarization, nuclear security, and nonproliferation activities in the Newly Independent States (NIS) of the former Soviet Union.
Global Security Engagement
The government's first Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) programs were created in 1991 to eliminate the former Soviet Union's nuclear, chemical, and other weapons and prevent their proliferation. The programs have accomplished a great deal: deactivating thousands of nuclear warheads, neutralizing chemical weapons, converting weapons facilities for peaceful use, and redirecting the work of former weapons scientists and engineers, among other efforts. Originally designed to deal with immediate post-Cold War challenges, the programs must be expanded to other regions and fundamentally redesigned as an active tool of foreign policy that can address contemporary threats from groups that are that ...
A Strategic Vision for Biological Threat Reduction
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine was asked to articulate a 5-year strategic vision for international health security programs and provide findings and recommendations on how to optimize the impact of the Department of Defense (DOD) Biological Threat Reduction Program (BTRP) in fulfilling its biosafety and biosecurity mission. Because BTRP is just one of several U.S. government programs conducting international health security engagement, both the strategic vision and the success of the program rely on coordinating actions with the U.S. government as a whole and with its international partners. This report provides several recommendations for optimizing BTRP success in its current mission and the wider-looking strategic vision it proposes.
Cooperative Threat Reduction Program
Congress enacted Public Law 102-228, the Soviet Nuclear Threat Reduction Act of 1991 (the Act), to reduce the threat posed by the weapons of mass destruction remaining in the territory of the former Soviet Union. Specific objectives of the Act are to help reduce strategic arms in the former Soviet Union to Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty levels or lower, enhance security over nuclear weapons and fissile material, assist the former Soviet Union to destroy and prevent proliferation of biological and chemical weapons, and encourage military reductions and reform. The Act designates DoD as the executive agent for what came to be called the Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) Program. From FY 1992 through FY 2000, Congress appropriated $3.5 billion for the CTR Program.
Improving Metrics for the Department of Defense Cooperative Threat Reduction Program
The Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) Program was created in 1991 as a set of support activities assisting the Former Soviet Union states in securing and eliminating strategic nuclear weapons and the materials used to create them. The Program evolved as needs and opportunities changed: Efforts to address biological and chemical threats were added, as was a program aimed at preventing cross-border smuggling of weapons of mass destruction. CTR has traveled through uncharted territory since its inception, and both the United States and its partners have taken bold steps resulting in progress unimagined in initial years. Over the years, much of the debate about CTR on Capitol Hill has concerned...

Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR).
Although the end of the Cold War dramatically reduced the danger to the United States posed by the threat of a massive nuclear exchange, instabilities and uncertainties in the new independent states (NIS) of the former Soviet Union have created new challenges and threats. The changing political, social, and economic conditions strain the ability of the NIS to provide for the safe and secure storage, transportation, and dismantlement of nuclear weapons and to eliminate these threatening systems once and for all. By assisting the NIS in these tasks, the CTR program reduces the threats from weapons of mass destruction missile by missile, warhead by warhead, factory by factory, and person by person. CTR is not foreign aid. Former Secretary of Defense William J. Perry calls it "defense by other means." Through CTR we have achieved some tremendous gains, which are noted in this booklet, toward ensuring our security by helping to eliminate weapons that could be aimed at us and by helping to prevent weapons proliferation to hostile countries.
International Cooperation on WMD Nonproliferation
International efforts to prevent the spread of weapons of mass destruction (WMD)—including nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons—rest upon foundations provided by global treaties such as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). Over time, however, states have created a number of other mechanisms for organizing international cooperation to promote nonproliferation. Examples range from regional efforts to various worldwide export-control regimes and nuclear security summit meetings initiated by U.S. president Barack Obama. Many of these additional nonproliferation arrangements are less formal and have fewer members than the global treaties. ...
Weapons Of Mass Destruction
Since 1992, the DoD1s Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) program has sought to help the four newly independent states of Belarus, Kazakstan, Russia, and Ukraine control and reduce threats posed by weapons of mass destruction inherited from the former Soviet Union. This report evaluates: the draft 1996 multi-year CTR program plan in terms of its scope, project status and cost estimates, and the progress, estimated costs, and potential impacts of CTR efforts to help control nuclear weapons and materials, eliminate strategic delivery vehicles, and destroy chemical weapons.

Biological Engagement Programs: Reducing Threats and Strengthening Global Health Security Through Scientific Collaboration
Biological engagement programs are a set of projects or activities between partner countries that strengthen global health security to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes. Engagement programs are an effective way to work collaboratively towards a common threat reduction goal, usually with a strong focus on strengthening health systems and making the world a safer place. Cooperative programs are built upon trust and sharing of information and resources to increase the capacity and capabilities of partner countries. Biological engagement programs reduce the threat of infectious disease with a focus on pathogens of security concern, such as those pathogens identified by the U.S. Government as ...
