In a recent commentary, Franklin C. Miller and Frank A. Rose assert that the management of America’s nuclear weapons arsenal should not be relegated to the Department of Energy. They argue that the arsenal plays a crucial role in national defense and should instead be overseen by the Department of Defense to ensure its strategic importance is recognized and prioritized. The discussion highlights concerns about the current organizational structure and its implications for national security. By advocating for a shift in oversight, Miller and Rose emphasize the need for a more robust and focused approach to nuclear deterrence, particularly in light of evolving global threats. Their position calls for a reevaluation of how the United States manages its nuclear capabilities to better align with its defense strategy.
