Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Weapons(NBCW) pose the most serious threats to the United States and its foreign interests. Ballistic and cruise missiles, aircraft, covert forces, and terrorist proups are considered possible means of delivering these weapons of mass destruction. The total number of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons stockpiled throughout the world is decreasing as the major powers scale back their inventories, but some additional countries and groups are trying to acquire these weapons. U.S. and allied policy makers debate the rate of proliferation and the nature and extent of the threat to the United States and its allies, and the weapons's effects on international stability. These issues and the policy preferences of various segments of the security policy communitis in the United States and overseas have led to markedly different approaches to countering NBC weaponss and missile threats. The purpose of this paper is to assemble current information on the status of weapons programs around the globe and analyze patterns regarding the threats posed by these weapons.
