Course ID: ISP 210  Course Title: Controlling Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction
Course Description: A course on proliferation and strategies for its control, covering the spread to state and non-state actors of nuclear, biological, chemical, ballistic missile weapons and technology, and other technologies of destruction such as cyber attack. Designed for practitioners and mixes theory and history with current problem-solving. Beginning with a �how-to� guide to weapons of mass destruction and their effects, the course reviews theories about the spread and control of proliferation from social science literature, postwar history, and international nonproliferation norms and treaties. Applies these tools to recent instances of proliferation control and failure in Ukraine, South Africa, Iraq, North Korea, India/Pakistan, mass destruction terrorism, and �loose nukes� in Russia. Students will develop a comprehensive policy framework for proliferation control in the twenty first century, ranging from international diplomacy and norms to use of military force. The objective is both to strengthen students� grasp of the underlying concepts and to make them effective career practitioners in the U.S. government, other foreign governments, international organizations, or NGOs. Students are required to simulate realistic policy-making situations and to produce professional products as assignments: concise memos, briefings, and oral and written testimony.

Course ID: MGT314  Course Title: Enhanced Incident Management Unified Command Course
Course Description: The Enhanced IM/UC course focuses on incident management skills, staff responsibilities and the related situational awareness and decision-making skills using a computer-driven training simulation to offer a challenging decision-making environment in a WMD scenario. The course focuses on the Incident Command Post (ICP) and the key decision-making requirements within that response node. Participants learn from the cause and effects of incident decisions while working in an ICP using a simulated, notional jurisdiction. The course begins with a short overview of WMD emergency response considerations and methodologies of the Incident Command System (ICS) in a unified command structure followed by several rigorous computer-driven emergency response chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) scenarios. The course is delivered (resident) in the world-class NERRTC EOTC in College Station, Texas. The WMD instructional team consists of trainers experienced in emergency management and incident response. The course uses a multidiscipline, jurisdictional approach to accomplish the course objectives. Each staff position is integrated into a unified command structure responding to an incident. The course adapts existing incident management systems and procedures to the unique requirements of responding to WMD/terrorism incidents. The overall incident management structure used in the course is based on the National Incident Management System(NIMS) and the National Response Plan (NRP), and is certified by the DHS, Office of Grants and Training.
