Abstract
Controlled Flexible Response is a nuclear deterrence
strategy that is being implemented as part of the United
State's deterrence strategy. That strategy is explored and
questions concerning its viability are discussed. The role
of options and the necessity of knowing the military's perceptions
and values concerning these options is discussed.
A quantitative methodology is developed to define the military's
position in regards to Controlled Flexible Response.
Variables are defined, quantified, and analyzed. The results
of the survey of the military's values and perceptions concerning
nuclear deterrence strategies are presented. These
results suggest other questions for investigation. Some of
the more interesting questions are discussed.
