HLS 3301 Weapons of Mass Destruction 2
The purpose of this assignment is to help you decide which scenario you want to address and to help you prepare for your Unit VII Research Paper. Choose one of the three scenarios (see scenario list below) for your research, which must relate to how terrorism, genetic engineering, genocide operations, biological warfare, or cyber terrorism may affect our efforts to mitigate future attacks globally or internationally, as well as the moral and ethical implications of the use of such WMD in a terrorist attack of this magnitude. Additionally, the paper must address the capabilities and design of future attacks and the strategies we must develop to prevent or diminish the impact of such attacks. You are encouraged to truly think outside of the box to predict potential terrorist strategies that are new in nature, rather than just repeating previous efforts from terrorist organizations. From the retrospect of intelligence officers with the Central Region Command in Afghanistan, you can be assured that, in addition to infrastructure attacks, terrorist organizations focus their attacks against educational and religious systems that they deem evil from their perspective.
Scenario 1: The election year is heating up w with every new debate. You are the police chief of Atlanta. A debate has been scheduled in the Atlanta Chastain Park, which is the largest city park in Atlanta and consists of 268 acres of open terrain. The park is located near the nort
hern edge of the city. The debate w ill be held at the Chastain Park Amphitheater, which is designed to hold just under 7,000 people, not including the politicians and their personnel. You can search the Google Maps (londonessays.com website for a map location of Chastain Park. Your research must identify what federal and state agencies w ill be assisting you w ith the security for the event. You have been assigned the duty to provide a risk analysis of the physical facilities and to provide your opinion of the probability of terrorist attacks against the politicians, the 7,000 participants w ithin the amphitheater, and the untold numbers that w ill be in the park surrounding the theater. You must ensure the safety of everyone attending the debate and those visiting the park. Your mitigation plan must address ingress and egress to and from the park and the amphitheater before, during, and after the event. Additionally, you must identify possible existing threats as well as the terrorist groups responsible for those threats. You must identify any and all probable avenues of attack and develop a plan to prevent such attacks. Keep in mind, you must prepare for the worst-case scenario, which can consist of any form of an attack, including an attack from the ground or air, long-distance attacks, or preplanted improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Consider that thousands of people may die or be or be seriously injured if your plan fails to recognize all relevant scenarios or threats. HLS 3301 Weapons of Mass Destruction 2
