    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. DTRA's 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
    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). PFPA is under the authority, direction,
    and control of the Director, Administration and Management, in the
    Office of the Secretary of Defense. PFPA 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 strategy
    on combating terrorism, PFPA addresses the full spectrum of threats,
    including chemical, biological, and radiological agents, through a
    strategy of prevention, preparedness, detection, and response to ensure
    that the DOD workforce and facilities in the NCR are secure and
    protected.
