Abstract:
The Iraqis have both mustard gas and nerve agents. They can deliver these with aircraft, artillery, and rockets. In confronting this threat, military forces now in Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf region have a variety of options. US. air defense missiles, ground-attack aircraft and artillery could all be used in U.S. operations to counter an Iraqi chemical attack.
