CBRN Concept of Ops

Mitigation

Protection

DetectionConsequence Management

- Avoidance - Force Equipping Policy (individual level)- Pre-deployment skills trg- Monitoring- Control Access

- Psychological Effects- CTF Credibility- Troop Will to Fight

- Mass Casualty Mgmt- Environmental Impacts – soonest return to normalcy- Handing over incident site to local authorities

- Prevention of contamination spread- Localized avoidance/ evacuation- Preparation of medical/ logistics trains

- Intel collection- Medical Surveillance- Environmental Monitoring

Potential Impacts• Most likely

– Chem Improvised Explosive Device (Phosgene)• Short term area denial & initial casualties• Long term supportive care may be required for victims (exceeds CTF

medical capacity)• Psychological effects

– Radiological Dispersal Device (RDD)• Area denial• Specialized long term medical care• Psychological Effects

• Worst Case – Breach of containment from any of 3 facilities– Long term widespread area denial– Mass casualty incident, long term medical effects
