WHAT WE DO
The mission of the Nuclear Enterprise Directorate is to provide capabilities that enable DoD Warfighters, interagency stakeholders, allies and partners to ensure a credible U.S. nuclear deterrent.
NUCLEAR ENTERPRISE CAPABILITIES
EXECUTE ASSESSMENTS
The Nuclear Enterprise directorate conducts assessments to provide mission impact context to identified vulnerabilities for commanders at all levels - local, national, and strategic. NE assesses risk to DoD missions and provides remediation and mitigation. We conduct cyber vulnerability assessments with a unique suite of tools.
PROVIDE ACCOUNTABILITY AND LOGISTICS
Our accountability and logistics are critical to guaranteeing the viability of the nation’s stockpile. We write, review, and validate all technical procedures used by DoD agencies in maintaining the nuclear stockpile. We verify and validate all actions related to nuclear weapons.
