Nuclear Posture Review

The Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) is a comprehensive assessment by the U.S. government that outlines the country’s nuclear weapons policy, strategy, and modernization plans. It determines how and when nuclear weapons are used, ensuring national security while addressing threats. The review considers current military capabilities, technological advancements, and international security environments to guide decisions on maintaining, reducing, or enhancing nuclear arsenals. Essentially, the NPR serves as a strategic blueprint for the United States' nuclear deterrence posture, balancing diplomacy, military readiness, and non-proliferation efforts.
