The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) was established in 1998 and 
is under the authority, direction, and control of the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics. The DTRA mission is 
to reduce the threat posed by weapons of mass destruction (WMD). DTRA 
covers the full range of WMD threats (chemical, biological, nuclear, 
radiological, and high explosive), bridges the gap between the 
warfighters and the technical community, sustains the nuclear deterrent, 
and provides both offensive and defensive technology and operational 
concepts to the warfighters. DTRA reduces the threat of WMD by 
implementing arms control treaties and executing the Cooperative Threat 
Reduction Program. It uses combat support, technology development, and 
chemical-biological defense to deter the use and reduce the impact of 
such weapons. It prepares for future threats by developing the 
technology and concepts needed to counter the new weapons of mass 
destruction threats and adversaries.

The Missile Defense Agency's (MDA) mission is to establish and deploy a 
layered ballistic missile defense system to intercept missiles in all 
phases of their flight and against all ranges of threats. This 
capability will provide a defense of the United States, deployed forces, 
allies, and friends. MDA is under the authority, direction, and control 
of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and 
Logistics. MDA manages and directs the DOD's ballistic missile defense 
acquisition programs and enables the Services to field elements of the 
overall system as soon as practicable. MDA will develop and test 
technologies and, if necessary, use prototype and test assets to provide 
early capability. Additionally, MDA will improve the effectiveness of 
deployed capabilities by implementing new technologies as they become 
available or when the threat warrants an accelerated capability.

The Pentagon Force Protection Agency (PFPA) was established in May 2002 
by the Deputy Secretary of Defense in response to the events of 
September 11, 2001, and subsequent terrorist threats facing the DOD 
workforce and facilities in the national capital region (NCR). It is 
under the authority, direction, and control of the Director, 
Administration and Management, in the Office of the Secretary of 
Defense. The Agency provides force protection, security, and law 
enforcement for the people, facilities, infrastructure, and other 
resources at the Pentagon Reservation and for DOD activities and 
facilities within the NCR that are not under the jurisdiction of a 
military department. Consistent with national efforts to combat 
terrorism, PFPA is pursuing new initiatives to address the full spectrum 
of threats, including those posed by chemical, biological, and 
radiological agents, by using a strategy of prevention, preparedness, 
detection, and response to ensure that the DOD workforce and facilities 
in the NCR are secure and protected.
