  continue combat operations despite the presence of contaminants, the
  OPFOR has developed and fielded a wide range of NBC detection and
  warning devices, individual and collective protection equipment, and decon-
  tamination equipment.
  MULTIPLE OPTIONS
  11-2. Force modernization has introduced a degree of flexibility previously
  unavailable to combined arms commanders. It creates multiple options for
  the employment of forces at strategic, operational, and tactical levels with or
  without the use of NBC weapons. Many of the same delivery means available
  for NBC weapons can also be used to deliver precision weapons that can often
  achieve desired effects without the stigma associated with NBC weapons.
  11-3. The OPFOR might use NBC weapons either to deter aggression or as a
  response to an enemy attack on the State. It has surface-to-surface missiles
  (SSMs) capable of carrying nuclear, chemical, or biological warheads. Most
  OPFOR artillery is capable of delivering chemical munitions, and most sys-
  tems 152-mm and larger are capable of firing nuclear rounds. Additionally,
  the OPFOR could use aircraft systems and cruise missiles to deliver an NBC
  attack. The State has also trained special-purpose forces (SPF) as alternate
  means of delivering NBC munitions packages. The threat of using any or all
  of these means to deliver NBC weapons is an intimidating factor that the
  State can use against potential regional and/or extraregional adversaries.
  TARGETING
  11-4. The OPFOR considers the following targets to be suitable for the em-
  ployment of NBC weapons:
  • NBC delivery means and their supply structure.
  • Precision weapons.
  • Prepared defensive positions.
  • Reserves and troop concentrations.
  • Command and control (C2); reconnaissance, intelligence, surveillance,
  and target acquisition (RISTA); and communications centers.
  • Key air defense sites.
  • Logistics installations, especially port facilities.
  • Airfields the OPFOR does not intend to use immediately.
  Enemy NBC delivery means (aircraft, artillery, missiles, and rockets) nor-
  mally receive the highest priority. The suitability of other targets depends on
  the OPFOR’s missions, the current military and political situation, and the
  NBC weapons available for use.2
