It's there in the article:
Former Secretary of Defense William Perry and former CIA Director and retired Army General David Petraeus have both suggested a preexisting U.S. strategy for responding to limited Russian use of tactical nuclear weapons. (And from four decades of national security work, I can attest that the United States does indeed prepare for even the most improbable scenarios, and this possibility, unfortunately, was never farfetched.) They explain authoritatively how the United States would likely conventionally escalate in proportional response to deter further use rather than responding in kind. The United States and NATO need not resort to reciprocal nuclear or chemical use to achieve that deterrence goal — that is, to impair Putin’s ability to wage further war and to destabilize his grip on power.
