3. Evolving international reality– Terrorists or Rogue states possessing weapons of mass
destruction
4. Evolving conduct of war– Adaptive, creative enemies– Pace and proliferation of new technologies– Aggressive and hostile ideologies intent
on harming U.S. interests

. . . A Capability, both Vital and Relevant, for the CombatantCommander and the Joint Warfight
The Chief’s Philosophy• Taking care of People: Soldiers, civilians,
and their families are the foundation of the Chemical Corps.
• Value to the Army: Providing CBRN defense capabilities to the Army in order to fight and win our Nation’s wars.
• Relevance to the Joint Fight: More than reactionary – an ability to provide a strategically responsive Corps that is fully capable across the full spectrum of the military operations.
