What does the DOD antiterrorism program aim to protect against?

The Department of Defense (DOD) antiterrorism program specifically aims to protect against terrorism. This program is focused on safeguarding personnel, facilities, assets, and operations from the threats posed by terrorist acts, which can vary in nature and method. It encompasses a range of strategies, practices, and guidelines designed to mitigate the risks of terrorist attacks and enhance the overall security posture of DOD properties and operations.

While other options such as cyber threats, espionage, and nuclear threats are significant security concerns, they fall under different defense strategies and operational frameworks. The antiterrorism program is explicitly tailored to address the unique challenges and risks associated with terrorism, including preemptive measures, intelligence gathering, and response protocols specifically aimed at thwarting terrorist activities and minimizing their impact on military readiness and safety.
