over required multinational actions that support those
operations. (U)
(2) The NCCS is the designated combination of flexible and
enduring elements including facilities, equipment, communi-

forces and the activities that support those operations. (U)

use of nuclear weapons when authorized by the President and for
preventing their unauthorized use; and for an appropriate balance
between these objectives should a circumstance arise when they
are in conflict.
