NAP Presents Results of Security Workshop
Hazardous materials expert Gail Kulisch spent 28 years with the United States Coast Guard. Her current work involves employing a method for large-scale disaster response known as GASP (Getting a System in Place). Gail Kulisch also served on the panel for the National Academy of Sciences' recent workshop on strategic defense deterrence. In 2013, the National Academy of Sciences presented a workshop titled U.S. Air Force Strategic Deterrence Capabilities in the 21st Century Security Environment. Headed by a committee formed of high-level executives, consultants, military experts, and researchers, the workshop focused on the topic of national security and defense, especially from the perspective of the United States Air Force. Following the project, the National Academy of Sciences Press (NAP) published a summary of the results as a paperback book. Included in the book were topics addressed in the workshop, biographical information about the committee members, details on the session agendas, and a list of workshop participants. The book project also encompassed analysis of the tools and methods for strategic nuclear deterrence as well as potential future improvements.
