Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) Program: Countering WMD Threats in Iraq

This program administers Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) threat reduction activities for Iraq in partnership with government, security, academic, public and veterinary health, and industrial communities.

This includes:

  1. Strengthening the ability of the Government of Iraq and Kurdistan Regional Government to detect, prevent the theft, diversion, or loss of WMD-applicable material, expertise, and equipment.
  2. Securing biological and chemical materials and related assets throughout the supply chain.
  3. Preventing WMD attacks by promoting awareness of CB and explosive threats and adoption of threat mitigation best practices.
  4. Developing innovative strategies and explore novel tools to adapt to the constantly evolving WMD threat.
