Project Summary: Research Paper 5 page Scenario- You are the head of a Department of Homeland Security investigative task force assigned to mitigate threats or possible terrorist attacks against the port area of San Diego. This includes numerous U.S. naval vessels, untold numbers of oceanic freighters, local fishing vessels, and countless pleasure yachts. You have received a threat from an unknown source stating that coordinated attacks are going to be launched against military and civilian targets in and around the San Diego area. The threat alludes to the use of nuclear missiles launched from vessels off the coast of San Diego. The source of the threats remains unknown, but intelligence (INTEL) points toward North Korea and Iran. Your job is to identify the probable source of the threats and to mitigate the numerous scenarios of attack that could stem from the Pacific Ocean, the Baja Peninsula, the roadways entering San Diego from all directions, or from within San Diego. No specific terrorist group has given any notice of an attack. You must identify all probable sources from which a nuclear missile could be launched. Since INTEL advises that North Korea nor Iran have long-range capability, your search must relate to the immediate area. Additionally, all you know is that the attack is scheduled to occur sometime this month. Identify all possible sources that could launch a nuclear missile, and determine countermeasures that will empower your personnel to defeat the attack or attacks before they occur. Your plan must include a worst-case-scenario response plan to enable you to properly respond and deal with the blast effects from the attack should your personnel fail to stop the attack(s). You will assume the position that you are an officer in charge of providing security in the scenario you have chosen. You will analyze the physical location of the scenario, mitigate probable areas of concern, and identify probable targets that may require special attention. It is up to you and your personnel to ensure that terrorists will have no opportunity to disrupt the event or unleash any form of attack. The lives of the participants in the event depend on your ability to predict every given situation and provide security to prevent such attacks. Please identify all weak areas, and provide your analysis of how to protect property and personnel during the event as well as before and after the event. The paper must address the following areas of concern: 1. How does the terroristic act in your paper impact future prospects of terrorism whether by genetic engineering, cyberterrorism, biological warfare, or any other weapons of mass destruction (WMD)? 2. Evaluate the moral and ethical implications of the use of this type of WMD destruction. 3. Assess the capabilities of the WMD portrayed in your scenario, and mitigate counteraction strategies Complete a research paper that must be a minimum of five pages in length, not including the title page and the reference page. The research paper must follow APA guidelines and contain the following components: Title page: The title page must be in APA format, which includes the APA running head and the page number in the header. Abstract: Provide a brief explanation of the purpose of your paper. This must be a minimum of 150 words. This should be similar to the topic description you submitted in the Unit II assignment. Introduction: Provide a brief review of the scenario you have chosen that was submitted and approved by the instructor in Unit II. Intermediate headings: Intermediate headings help the reader transition from one subject to the next. This is the focus of your research and analysis on the scenario you have chosen, where you identify the risks and mitigate solutions that will provide the appropriate protection as well as provide reactive measures in case terrorists manage to complete an attack regardless of your preventive measures. The content must center on the three areas of concern identified above. Conclusion: Provide a summary of your findings and solutions based on best practices. Reference page: You must include the heading (References) centered above the reference list on a separate last page. You must include the three references selected in the Unit II assignment. All references must be in APA format, and each reference must relate to at least one in text citation.
