In nuclear strategy, a counterforce target is one that has a military value, such as a launch silo for intercontinental ballistic missiles, an airbase at which nuclear-armed bombers are stationed, a homeport for ballistic missile submarines, or a command and control installation.

has abstract	قوة مضادة في الاستراتيجية النووية هو هدف مضاد للقوة له قيمة عسكرية مثل منصات إطلاق للصواريخ البالستية العابرة للقارات أو قاعدة جوية يتمركز فيها الجنود المسلحون بالأسلحة النووية أو موقع لغواصات الصواريخ الباليستية أو موقع للقيادة والمراقبة. (ar) In nuclear strategy, a counterforce target is one that has a military value, such as a launch silo for intercontinental ballistic missiles, an airbase at which nuclear-armed bombers are stationed, a homeport for ballistic missile submarines, or a command and control installation. The intent of a counterforce strategy (attacking counterforce targets with nuclear weapons) is to conduct a pre-emptive nuclear strike which has as its aim to disarm an adversary by destroying its nuclear weapons before they can be launched. That would minimize the impact of a retaliatory second strike. However, counterforce attacks are possible in a second strike as well, especially with weapons like UGM-133 Trident II. A counterforce target is distinguished from a countervalue target, which includes an adversary's population, knowledge, economic, or political resources. In other words, a counterforce strike is against an adversary's military, and a countervalue strike is against an adversary's cities. A closely related tactic is the decapitation strike, which destroys an enemy's nuclear command and control facilities and similarly has a goal to eliminate or reduce the enemy's ability to launch a second strike. Of course, it must be mentioned that counterforce targets are almost always near to civilian population centers, which would not be spared in the event of a counterforce strike. (en)
