Despite the growing ASCM threat, Commander-in--- Chief, Central Command (CINCCENT) does have numerous options available to counter this deadly menace. This analysis combines the current and future ASCM inventory, Persian Gulf geo-political situation and potential for U.S. involvement in future regional crises as background information. Military options are discussed in detail within the framework of the background provided and the Joint Force Sequencing model, Stability, Crisis Response Forcible Entry, and Sustained Operations. Actions available to CINCEENT include: presence, combined/joint exercises, military to military exchanges intelligence collection, rules of engagement and use of military force.
