This book was released on 2018-04-08 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication sets forth principles to assist commanders and staffs to plan for and conduct operations in which their forces may encounter the employment or threat of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons and other toxic materials. These principles apply to joint, multinational, and interagency operations. The crises and conflicts that characterize the international security environment pose complex simultaneous challenges to the interests and security of the United States. The Armed Forces of the United States, in the United States or abroad, may be required to conduct operations in nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) environments. The principles set forth in this publication are designed to enable combatant commanders and subordinate joint force commanders (JFCs) to plan for, train their forces for, and execute their assigned missions in a tumultuous international security environment against a varied set of NBC-capable adversaries. The Armed Forces of the United States plan for and conduct operations to overcome complex simultaneous challenges across the range of military operations against adversaries who may be armed with NBC weapons. While any given threat and operation may be focused principally in a particular overseas region, the adversary may have the motivation and means to extend the conflict to other regions including US territory. Threat - Adversaries may be particularly inclined to threaten or use nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) weapons in asymmetric operations to overcome the military strengths and assail the vulnerabilities of the United States and its multinational partners.

This book was released on 2014-07-17 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The threatened or actual employment of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) material, including toxic industrial materials (TIMs), can seriously challenge US military operations. The deadly, destructive, and disruptive effects of these weapons and materials merit continuous consideration by the joint force commander (JFC) and supporting commanders. The worldwide availability of advanced military and commercial technologies and information (including dual use and emerging nontraditional threats), combined with commonly available transportation and delivery means, may allow adversaries opportunities to acquire, develop, and employ CBRN weapons without regard for national or regional boundaries. The Department of Defense (DOD) has expanded CBRN defense capabilities to address the complexities of the strategic context in which US forces may perform missions in CBRN environments.

This book was released on 2003-03-10 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1. Scope - This publication provides a multiservice doctrinal reference for planning and executing nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC)/chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) defense operations. This doctrinal manual bridges the gap between joint NBC defense doctrine (Joint Publication [JP] 3-11, Joint Doctrine for Operations in Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) Environments) and service operational NBC defense doctrine. It provides guidelines to assist members of the services discharging responsibilities as joint task force commanders and staffs. The manual addresses integration of multiservice doctrine for NBC defense in three areas. It provides tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) for planning NBC defense; describes NBC defense capabilities from the services that could be integrated into an area of operations (AO); and outlines roles and responsibilities for NBC defense. Guidelines provided in this manual assist commanders and staffs in integrating NBC defense operations into the context of all other AOs. The term "NBC environment," as used in this publication, refers to an environment in which there is deliberate or accidental employment of NBC weapons or industrial chemicals or deliberate or accidental contamination with radiological materials. The defensive measures described herein are useful in nuclear environments to the degree that they provide protection against inhalation or ingestion of and skin contact with radioactive debris. This publication does not comprehensively address defense against other nuclear effects including heat, blast, and direct irradiation. (Note: The terms NBC and CBR defense are synonymous; Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force [AF] use the term NBC defense, and Navy forces use the term CBR defense.) Additionally, US Special Operations Command Publication 3-11, Multiservice Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures [MTTP] for Special Operations Forces in NBC Environments provides information that supplements the TTP provided in this publication. 2. Purpose - This publication provides commanders and staffs a key reference for the planning and execution of service NBC defense operations. Further, within the overall concept of counterproliferation operations (see Chapter I), this publication focuses on the passive defense component (NBC defense) of counterproliferation. The target audience includes commanders and their staffs, particularly those individuals responsible for NBC defense planning at the operational and tactical level. This includes individuals with responsibilities as commanders and staffs of joint task forces. Commanders have direct responsibility for protecting their forces within an NBC environment. During operations, failure to properly plan and execute NBC defense operations may result in significant casualties, disruption of operations, and even mission failure. 3. Application - This publication is designed for use at the operational and tactical level for planning and conducting integrated NBC defense operations. It supplements established joint doctrine and changes an Army and Marine Corps dual-designated publication into a multiservice publication, defines service capabilities in conducting NBC defense, and defines the roles and responsibilities of commanders and subordinate commanders and their staffs in planning and executing NBC defense.

This book was released on 2006-04-04 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1. Scope - This publication is designed for use at the tactical and operational levels. This manual provides multiservice tactics, techniques, and procedures (MTTP) for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) decontamination. It defines the roles of military units and staffs involved in the preparation, planning, and execution of decontamination operations. It addresses the requirements for the different techniques used in decontamination. This manual focuses on the need for all United States (US) forces to be prepared to fight and win in a CBRN environment. It addresses the support theDepartment of Defense (DOD) may have to provide to support homeland security (HLS). The planning and coordination for CBRN decontamination takes place with the realization that the potential CBRN environment could be one in which there is deliberate or accidental employment of CBRN weapons, or deliberate or accidental attacks or contamination with toxic industrial material (TIM) (see Joint Doctrine for Operations in Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical [NBC] Environments). 2. Purpose - This publication provides a reference for CBRN decontamination; bridges the gap between service and joint doctrine; and contains tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) for planning and executing operations in a CBRN environment. This manual addresses concepts, principles, and TTP to include planning, operational considerations, and training and support functions. It serves as the foundation for the development of multiservice manuals and refinement of existing training support packages (TSPs), mission training plans (MTPs), training center and unit exercises, and service school curricula. It drives the examination of organizations and materiel developments applicable to CBRN decontamination. 3. Application - The audience for this publication is combatant commands, joint task forces (JTFs), functional and service component units, and staffs in foreign and domestic locations that could be challenged by operations in a CBRN environment. 4. Implementation Plan - Participating service command offices of primary responsibility (OPRs) will review this publication; validate the information; reference and incorporate it in service and command manuals, regulations, and curricula as follows: Army.

This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication provides joint doctrine for the military response to mitigate the effects of a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear event or incident. Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear consequence management (CBRN CM) can be described as the overarching United States Government (USG) capability and the strategic national direction, to prepare for, respond to, and recover from the effects of a chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) incident at home or abroad, and whether or not it is attributed to an attack using weapons of mass destruction (WMD). When required, the USG will coordinate its response to a CBRN incident in one of three ways based on the geopolitical situation. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is the USG lead agency for incident management that would include a domestic CBRN incident. Overseas, excluding homeland areas, the Department of State (DOS) is the USG lead for what is termed foreign consequence management (FCM). The geographic scope of the domestic CBRN response is associated with the US homeland. Generally, when tasked, Department of Defense (DOD) is a supporting agency, coordinating agency, or cooperating agency in support of DHS within the National Response Framework (NRF) and National Incident Management System (NIMS). A response could take place in a permissive or uncertain foreign operational environment. Requests for FCM originate from an affected nation through DOS. The military situation is when CBRN incidents occur requiring DOD to lead the USG response effort due to the lack of DOS and/or sufficient affected nation 'federal' presence as a result of military operations or for a CBRN incident on a DOD installation. CBRN CM provides the operational framework for those authorized measures DOD takes in preparation for anticipated CBRN incidents to mitigate the loss of life and property and to assist with the response and short-term recovery that may be required. This includes having plans, policies, procedures, training, and equipment necessary to effectively respond to CBRN incidents. This publication has been prepared under the direction of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It sets forth joint doctrine to govern the activities and performance of the Armed Forces of the United States in operations and provides the doctrinal basis for interagency coordination and for US military involvement in multinational operations. It provides military guidance for the exercise of authority by combatant commanders and other joint force commanders (JFCs) and prescribes joint doctrine for operations and training. It provides military guidance for use by the Armed Forces in preparing their appropriate plans. It is not the intent of this publication to restrict the authority of the JFC from organizing the force and executing the mission in a manner the JFC deems most appropriate to ensure unity of effort in the accomplishment of the overall objective. Joint doctrine established in this publication applies to the commanders of combatant commands, subunified commands, joint task forces, subordinate components of these commands, and the Services. The guidance in this publication is authoritative; as such, this doctrine will be followed except when, in the judgment of the commander, exceptional circumstances dictate otherwise. If conflicts arise between the contents of this publication and the contents of Service publications, this publication will take precedence unless the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, normally in coordination with the other members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has provided more current and specific guidance. Commanders of forces operating as part of a multinational (alliance or coalition) military command should follow multinational doctrine and procedures ratified by the United States.

This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This multi-Service publication represents a significant revision of the November 1986 publication. The scope of the previous publication was limited to the effect that weather and terrain have on nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) operations and obscuration operations. This publication expands that scope to include the doctrinal employment of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) capabilities (organizations, personnel, technology, and information) to characterize CBRN threats and hazards, including toxic industrial material (TIM), to the commander and the force. It is designed to provide commanders and staffs at the operational and tactical levels with capability employment planning data and considerations to shape military operations involving CBRN threats and hazards (CBRN shape) and a better understanding of where and when to expect CBRN hazards by applying information management (IM) to the military decisionmaking process (MDMP)/Marine Corps planning process (MCPP). This publication incorporates the characteristics of CBRN shape as addressed in joint concepts and in doctrine; and it provides doctrine and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) for managing CBRN threats and hazards in the larger context of multi-Service military operations. The chapters present a doctrinal foundation, and specific TTP are included in appendixes. This manual also incorporates the joint doctrine elements for combating weapons of mass destruction (WMD), to include the passive defense capabilities of CBRN shape, CBRN sense, CBRN shield, and CBRN sustain. During military operations, this publication is subordinate to current joint publications (JPs) addressing this topic. This document incorporates the following key guidance—• National strategy to combat WMD.• National military strategy to combat WMD.• Department of Defense (DOD) protection joint functional concept.• Joint enabling concept for CBRN defense.• JP 3-40.The purpose of this publication is to provide commanders, staffs, key agencies, and Service members with a key reference for understanding, characterizing, and managing CBRN threats and hazards in a particular operational environment (OE). This manual bridges the gap between Service and joint doctrine. It contains TTP for commanders and staff to use for characterizing and managing CBRN threats and hazards while conducting multi-Service military operations. This manual addresses concepts, principles, fundamentals, planning, operational considerations, and training and support functions. It serves as the foundation for developing Service manuals and refining existing training support packages, mission training plans, training center and unit exercises, and Service school curricula. It drives the examination of organizations and materiel developments applicable to military support of CBRN aspects of command and control (C2).This publication is designed for use at the operational and tactical levels but has implications at the strategic level in the implementation of CBRN supporting strategic objectives. The manual will support command staffs, CBRN staff officers, CBRN noncommissioned officers (NCOs), non-CBRN personnel performing collateral duties as additional-duty CBRN officers or NCOs, and employees of civilian agencies in the assessment, planning, preparation, and execution of CBRN C2 functions. This publication is intended to provide multi- Service C2 concepts and considerations for planning for, responding to, and recovering from CBRN events. It is not stand-alone guidance for United States (U.S.) Air Force (USAF) CBRN actions and activities. It is applicable to USAF units and USAF teams only in conjunction with appropriate USAF-specific publications, installation plans, supporting checklists, and other appropriate guidance.
