- Summary:
- Given the strategic environment, nuclear deterrence is more important now than at any time since the end of the Cold War. A potential nuclear attack against the United States and its allies is the most serious threat to our security. Our nuclear arsenal is the nation's ultimate insurance policy against such an attack. Nuclear forces, along with our conventional forces and other instruments of national power, also help prevent competition and conflict from escalating to large-scale conventional warfare. For these reasons, nuclear deterrence is the #1 priority mission of the Department of Defense.
