Considerations for a Us Nuclear Force Structure Below a 1,000-Warhead Limit

The Maxwell Papers, the Air War College's occasional papers series, focus on


current and future issues of interest to the Air Force and US Department of Defense.


The first Maxwell Papers was published in May of 1996 with the Air University


Commander's signature on the foreword. Maxwell Papers are open to all interested


authors, particularly Air War College faculty and students, but also to other officers


and analysts. Maxwell Papers have been distributed to over 400 addresses including


all senior Air Force and US Department of Defense decision makers, Professional


Military Education (PME) schools, contractors, and other US agencies, and more


than 40 foreign air forces and institutions. This document is a Air War College


Maxwell Paper.
