Book Air Force Operations in a Chemical and Biological Environment

Download or read book Air Force Operations in a Chemical and Biological Environment written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines how adversaries might use chemical and biological weapons (CBWs) to paralyze U.S. Air Force operations, how the Air Force might continue operations despite a contaminated environment, and how additional measures might enable the Air Force to sustain operations. The work should be of interest to policymakers and military planners in countering CBWs. This study was sponsored by the Air Staff office formerly known as the Air Force Director of Plans (AF/XOX), part of whose functions have since been assumed by the Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff, Air and Space Operations (AF/XO), and part by the Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff, Plans and Programs (AF/XP). The study was conducted at RAND under the Strategy and Doctrine Program within Project AIR FORCE.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Air Force installations and units operate in a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high yield explosive environment is an evolving effort. In 2002 the Air Force implemented the counter-chemical warfare concept of operations (CONOPS) that changed how installations prepared for and responded to conventional chemical munitions attacks. The AF further defined the most probable threat as tactical ballistic missiles. That reevaluation of the threat became the basis for developing tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP) for installations to recover and continue mission operations. In 2003, the AF began investigating potential vulnerabilities for biological attacks by conducting exercises at Kunsan AB, Korea. These exercises led to the development and refinement of TTPs for responding to conventional and irregular biological warfare attacks. The resulting counter-biological warfare CONOPS was institutionalized through two Air Force Instructions: AFI 10-2603, Emergency Health Powers on Air Force Installations and AFI 10-2604, Disease Containment Planning Guidance. In 2009, the Air Force published and began implementing the Counter-Radiological Warfare CONOPS. This CONOPS is being institutionalized through this document and other Air Force and multiservice directives.The nuclear threat has been exhaustively studied. The AF will review existing information to determine a need to change TTPs for nuclear weapon threats. This manual will incorporate the information from all CBRNE efforts as they mature in order to provide installations guidance to prepare for, respond to, and recover from a conventional or irregular CBRNE attack.In addition to developing Counter-Chemical, Biological, Radiological CONOPS, the AF has made changes to its emergency response procedures and operations.Contents: Operations in a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and High-Yield Explosive (CBRNE) Environment Chapter 1 OVERVIEW * 1.1.

Book excerpt: Air Force commanders and personnel must be able to prevent an attack of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons and be able to counter the resulting effects if such weapons are used. Air Force procedures and training must be developed with joint operations in mind. Airmen must understand how to organize Air Force forces and how to present them to the joint force commander to ensure safety and survivability for all personnel while ensuring mission accomplishment. This Air Force doctrine document details principles for conducting counter-chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear operations. Topics covered include strategic enablers, proliferation prevention, detect and monitor, denial and interdiction, passive defense (sense, shape, shield, and sustain. Contents: Chapter One - Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Operational Environment * Chapter Two - Proliferation Prevention Operations * Chapter Three - Counterforce Operations * Chapter Four - Active Defense Operations * Chapter Five - Passive Defense Operations * Chapter Six - Consequence Management Operations * Chapter Seven - Support Operations * Chapter Eight - Counter-Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Education, Training, and Exercise. The threat or use of chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapons by hostile regimes and terrorists represents one of the most difficult challenges facing our nation and our Air Force. This challenge is further complicated by the advance of technologies used to develop and deliver these weapons, making it possible for our enemies to attack us at a time and place of their choosing, with little or no warning. Success in defending our nation, our military forces, and partners and allies depends on how effectively we apply air, space, and cyberspace power to counter this threat. Many of our adversaries are actively seeking or already possess weapons of mass destruction and have stated their willingness to employ them. The key to successful protection against this threat is our people and their dedication to this vital mission. This doctrine document describes the Air Force's role in countering the threat or use of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons at the operational level of war. Our Air Force has tremendous capability available to address this challenge. We now use five pillars to describe how to counter these weapons: proliferation prevention, counterforce, active defense, passive defense, and consequence management. This doctrine document provides guidance for understanding, planning, and executing counter-chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear operations to enable US forces to survive and operate effectively in this deadly environment.

Book Biological and Chemical Warfare

Download or read book Biological and Chemical Warfare written by Paul A. Ziaya and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of our best defenses and deterrents against the use of chemical and biological weapons may be our ability to survive and function despite their use. It is essential that Air Force medical personnel are prepared to survive and to provide the highest quality of medical care possible in an environment contaminated with biological and chemical agents. Despite this requirement, there is considerable opportunity for improvement in medical doctrine, education and training of personnel, effectiveness of exercises, and verification of proficiency. Lack of adequate familiarity with operations in this environment can result in fear limiting the willingness of medical personnel to enter a contaminated area when needed, diminished capabilities at the scene of a response, and potentially increased morbidity and mortality among treated and treating personnel. Additionally, as potential terrorist threats increase, units must be prepared to assist in many different scenarios involving the use of biological or chemical agents both abroad and in the United States. The United States General Accounting Office report of March 1996 specifically noted a training deficiency among units that would be among the first to deploy. This study uses an evaluation of history, current reports, training guidelines, interviews, and available systems to assess the threat presented by biological and chemical agents and the readiness of Air Force medical personnel. Some ongoing improvements are discussed and several proposals are made to further improve the preparedness of both personnel and units.
