FY 2016NDAA - Triad v. Dyad v. Monad Report Amendment

4/29/15 This Garamendi amendment directs the DOD to provide a briefing on the options and analysis informed the 2010 Nuclear Posture Review on retaining a nuclear triad versus moving to a nuclear dyad or monad. The nuclear triad, which consists of strategic bombers, intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), and submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), is a substantially more expensive nuclear posture than a more constrained dyad or monad approach to nuclear deterrence.
