The North Korean Ballistic Missile Program by Daniel A. Pinkston Pdf

North Korea's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs have drawn international attention for years. In the early 1960s, Pyongyang began to pursue the capability to produce advanced weapons systems, including rockets and missiles. However, foreign assistance and technology, particularly from China and the Soviet Union, were instrumental in the acquisition of these capabilities. The ballistic missile inventory now totals about 800 road-mobile missiles, including about 200 Nodong missiles that could strike Japan. In April 2007, North Korea for the first time displayed two new missiles: a short-range tactical missile that poses a threat to Seoul and U.S. Forces in South Korea, and an intermediate-range missile that could potentially strike Guam. Although North Korea has not demonstrated the ability to produce a nuclear warhead package for its missiles, its missiles are believed to be capable of delivering chemical and possibly biological munitions. North Korean media and government officials claim the country needs a nuclear deterrent to cope with the "hostile policy of the United States," but Pyongyang has never officially abandoned its objective of "completing the revolution in the south." Little is known about North Korean military doctrine and the role of its ballistic missiles, but National Defense Commission Chairman Kim Ch*ong-il has ultimate authority over their disposition.

Deterring North Korea from Using WMD in Future Conflicts and Crises - Nuclear, Chemical, Biological Weapons, Deterrence by Punishment, Understanding North Korean Provocations, Escalatory Brinksmanship by U. S. Military,Department of Defense (DoD),U. S. Government Pdf

For nearly 60 years, North Korea has determinedly pursued the development of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), usually defined as chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) weapons. In recent years, it has used its nuclear weapons to deter threats and to coerce its neighbors during crisis. As the North Korean regime continues to suffer many failures, it may someday lash out and cause a major war in northeast Asia, or its government may collapse into civil war and anarchy. With almost no chance of winning a conflict limited to conventional weapons and having invested so much of their limited resources in WMD, North Korea's leaders are likely to use these weapons in conflicts or further crises. North Korean WMD could cause immense damage to the populations and economies in northeast Asia, potentially destabilizing the region for many years.It is therefore incumbent on the United States and its allies to develop means to deter North Korea's use of WMD. But doing so is not easy. The United States and the Republic of Korea (ROK) have clearly failed to deter multiple North Korean provocations associated with WMD. Moreover, the North Korean leaders appear insensitive to the kind of "assured destruction" nuclear weapon retaliatory threats against cities and industry that formed the basis for Cold War deterrence. Instead, deterrence of North Korean WMD use needs to be based more on the ability to defeat that use and deny its objectives while still threatening retaliation that would undermine or destroy the North Korean regime.This paper describes such a deterrent approach, first by characterizing North Korea as a failing state--one which has used crises and may yet try to use conflict to strengthen the regime. It then addresses the nature of North Korea's WMD threat, how that threat might be used, and the damage that could result. The study concludes by discussing how the United States and the ROK might deter North Korean WMD threats in conflict and crisis.

Preparing for the Possibility of a North Korean Collapse by Bruce W. Bennett Pdf

A North Korean government collapse would have serious consequences, including a humanitarian disaster and civil war. The Republic of Korea and the United States can help mitigate the consequences, seeking unification by being prepared to deliver humanitarian aid in the North, stop conflict, demilitarize the North Korean military over time, secure and eliminate North Korean weapons of mass destruction, and manage Chinese intervention.

North Korea by Congressional Research Congressional Research Service Pdf

North Korea has presented one of the most vexing and persistent problems in U.S. foreign policy in the post-Cold War period. The United States has never had formal diplomatic relations with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (the official name for North Korea), although contact at a lower level has ebbed and flowed over the years. Negotiations over North Korea's nuclear weapons program have occupied the past three U.S. administrations, even as some analysts anticipated a collapse of the isolated authoritarian regime. North Korea has been the recipient of over $1 billion in U.S. aid (though none since 2009) and the target of dozens of U.S. sanctions.

More Than a Nuclear Threat by Nonproliferat Subcommittee on Terrorism,Nonproliferation Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade and the Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific of the Committee on Foreign Affairs House of Representatives Pdf

The danger North Korea poses to the world is more than just its rogue nuclear program and ballistic missile brinksmanship. Pyongyang develops other weapons of mass destruction and backs them with significant conventional military capabilities. As his pursuit of chemical and biological weapons shows, Kim Jong-un commands tools of indiscriminate mass murder beyond nuclear weapons, and U.S. policy must be responsive to these threats as well. North Korea, one of only 6 countries that has not signed the Chemical Weapons Convention, is believed to have stockpiles of thousands of tons of chemical weapons, including sulfur, mustard gas, chlorine, sarin, and VX, some of the worst chemicals that mankind has devised. These agents could be delivered by a variety of North Korean weapon systems, notably the massed artillery deployed near the DMZ which would place Seoul at extreme risk. Experts believe North Korea would not hesitate to use such tactics as a way to make up the deficiency in its aging military and that such an attack could feasibly result in millions of civilian casualties in South Korea. In early 2017, we all remember North Korean agents assassinated Kim Jong-nam, the half brother of Kim Jong-un, with VX nerve agent in Malaysia. This operation proved to the world not only that North Korea has access to chemical lethal weapons, but also the willingness and the expertise to transport and apply them in a targeted and sophisticated manner.
