Counterforce and Theater Missile Defense: Can the Army Use an ASW Approach to the SCUD Hunt? Dr James J Wirtz Monograph by the US Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute "The Gulf War demonstrated that theater missile defense (TMD) will be an important mission for the U.S. Army and its Patriot defense system in the years ahead. The author suggests that Army planners should view TMD not just as a simple tactical problem, but as an exercise that has important political and strategic ramifications that cut to the core of U.S. efforts to create and maintain international coalitions."
