This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual provides procedures for the National Guard (NG) Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Response Enterprise (NG-CRE) which includes Homeland Response Forces (HRF) and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear, and High-Yield Explosive (CBRNE) Enhanced Response Force Package (CERFP) unitsThis compilation also includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.The NRF is based on tiered responses to national emergencies: First Tier - Local Response. First responders: fire, rescue, law enforcement, and emergency medical services provide immediate aid and support for safeguarding public health and safety. Second Tier - State Response. Incidents exceeding Tier-1 force capabilities require the activation of State civil and military forces. For example, additional civilian teams, such as State Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) teams, Fire and Rescue units, State Police units, State Health Department assets, and the NG are used to augment first responder resources. Third Tier - Federal Response. Governors can request assistance from the President of the United States if it is determined their State's incident-response requires additional support. Under an approved Presidential Emergency Declaration, Federal agencies identified in reference d provide assets to support the Governor. An incident command (IC) is established to provide assistance and management of the emergency support functions of the incident. Federal response assets available to the IC may include the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) HAZMAT Response Unit, the Department of Energy's radiation assessment teams, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the National Disaster Medical System, the National Medical Response System, the NG, United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) and United States Pacific Command (USPACOM).

Book excerpt: The DoD plays a support role in managing Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and High-Yield Explosives (CBRNE) incidents, including providing capabilities needed to save lives, alleviate hardship or suffering, and minimize property damage. This testimony addresses DoD¿s role in CBRNE consequence mgmt. efforts and addresses the extent to which: (1) DoD¿s plans and capabilities are integrated with other fed. gov¿t. plans; (2) DoD has planned for and structured its force to provide CBRNE consequence mgmt. assistance; (3) DoD¿s CBRNE Consequence Mgmt. Response Forces (CCMRF) are prepared to perform their mission; and (4) DoD has funding plans for the CCMRF that are linked to requirements for specialized CBRNE capabilities. Illus.
Download or read book Potential Standards and Methods for the National Guard s Homeland Response Force written by Christian M. Van Alstyne and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2009, the Office of the Secretary of Defense directed the creation of 10 National Guard Homeland Response Force (HRF) units to provide regional chemical biological radiological nuclear and explosive (CBRNE) and disaster response in each of the 10 FEMA regions beginning in September 2011. The HRF was selected to fill a regional CBRNE capability gap. The HRF concept is a 566-person National Guard unit tasked to provide command, CBRNE assessment, decontamination, casualty care, logistics, security, and rescue in support of civilian officials during a regional-level CBRNE event or disaster. With domestic response mission and overseas deployment requirements, the HRF faces the difficult challenge of meeting both civilian response and military battlefield standards. Although some DoD organizations have had similar domestic response missions, no precedent for the HRF exists. The HRF reflects an evolution of military units with CBRNE and disaster related missions beginning in the 1990s. Government and private criticisms of these previous DoD CBRNE include wasted tax dollars, poor training strategies, and poor links to National Planning Scenarios. This thesis provides lessons learned from case studies of previous U.S. and Israeli CBRNE and disaster response organizations while recommending standards that the new HRF can use for improved implementation.

Book excerpt: Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team Management - This regulation instruction prescribes policies, procedures, and responsibilities governing the employment of National Guard Weapons of Mass Destruction - Civil Support Teams (WMD-CSTs) in support of the National Guard homeland security, homeland defense, contingency operations, special events, incident of national significance, and Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) mission. National Guard CBRNE Enhanced Response Force Package Management - This regulation delineates the responsibilities and details the processes and procedures for management of the National Guard (NG) Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and high-yield Explosive (CBRNE) Enhanced Response Force Package (NG CERFP). In the United States, the civil emergency management structure manages the consequences of the release of a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) involving CBRNE devices. The National Guard leverages its war fighting capability to support the civil authorities by providing a disciplined, well trained, and well equipped organization to supplement local, state, and federal efforts to manage the potentially catastrophic effects of terrorism, or provide special technical support to augment specific needs of the Incident Commander (IC). NG CERFPs are designed and trained to provide search, extraction, medical triage, and decontamination of casualties during CBRNE events and advice and assistance to the IC, State Emergency Management, the State's Joint Forces Headquarters (JFHQ-State), the Adjutant General, the Governor, and other key officials, including representatives of federal agencies. The capabilities of the NG CERFP for search, extraction, medical triage and treatment, decontamination, and remains recovery can also be used in support of natural disasters where individuals have been trapped in structures and/or require decontamination from exposure to toxic materials such as petroleum products, pesticides, raw sewage, and structure debris that have been spread through flooding, explosion, or other means. This regulation establishes the processes and standards for synchronized, integrated, and seamless NG CERFP employment on short notice to assist local and state governments in protecting public health and safety.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2010 National Security Strategy emphasizes the importance of strengthening our security and resilience at home and building capability to respond to and recover from major chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosive (CBRNE) incidents. The National Guard has established 17 CBRNE Enhanced Response Force Packages (CERFP), which are staffed with National Guard part-time personnel, to provide life-saving capabilities in response to a CBRNE event. The teams are intended to coordinate operations with multiple response partners at the local, state, and federal levels--including Department of Defense (DOD) forces. The National Guard Bureau (NGB) is responsible for managing the CERFP program. GAO assessed (1) how well CERFPs are prepared to perform their mission and how such readiness is measured and reported; (2) how effectively CERFPs coordinate with incident response partners and how well this is evaluated; and (3) the effectiveness of the CERFPs' command and control framework. GAO reviewed program documentation, surveyed National Guard and emergency management officials from 27 states, observed training exercises, and interviewed DOD, NGB, and CERFP officials.

Anderson and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Government has identified of highest priority the development of effective capabilities for preventing and managing the consequences of terrorists use of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high-yield explosive (CBRNE) materials and weapons on the American homeland. The Department of Defense (DOD) and Army both have a significant role in this effort. This paper will look at those roles and focus on the Army's ability to support the Homeland Security (HLS) CBRNE terrorist threat in the areas of agent sampling, detection, identification, and decontamination operations. Specifically, it will address the Reserve Components (RC) capability for responding to an incident and demonstrate the value-added of Active Component (AC) forces. The conclusion is the RC cannot fulfill the Department of the Army's commitment to this important mission by itself: AC forces must assume a more prominent role to ensure an adequate DOD response in this critical area.

This book was released on 2012-06-03 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The potential for terrorist activities directed against United States (U.S.) citizens and interests worldwide has become an increasingly serious threat. In an effort to counter this threat, the U.S. Government has implementeda number of measures to enhance the Nation's ability to deter, prevent, respond to, and recover from terrorist activities within the United States, its territories, and possessions. The establishment of the Weapons of MassDestruction (WMD)–Civil Support Team (CST) program is one of the measures that has been implemented to support the defense of the Homeland.The WMD-CST program mission is to support civil authorities at domestic chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosives (CBRNE) incident sites by identifying CBRNE agents and substances, assessing current and projected consequences, advising on response measures, and assisting with appropriate requests for additional support. This includes the intentional or unintentional release of CBRNE and natural or man-made disasters in the United States that result, or could result, in the catastrophic loss of life or property. As the “state governors' 911 forces for WMD,” WMD-CSTs provide direct support to the front lines of local,state, and federal emergency response organizations. WMD-CST operations are conducted primarily in civil environments—urban, rural, industrial, or suburban areas—and in hot or cold weather. WMD-CSTs currently operate within the United States, its territories, and possessions while in Title 10 U.S. Code (USC) or Title 32 USC status.This manual serves as the foundation for WMD-CST doctrine and focuses on the organization, mission, command and control (C2), and operations of the WMD-CST. It discusses employment concepts, planning considerations, capabilities, and the type of support that WMD-CSTs can provide during a response. This information should be shared with key decision makers at local, state, and federal levels.Unless stated otherwise, masculine nouns or pronouns do not refer exclusively to men.
