Book excerpt: Concerned that weapons of mass destruction (WMD) are increasingly available to terrorists, Congress passed the Defense Against Weapons of Mass Destruction Act of 1996, commonly known as the Nunn-Lugar-Domenici Act. The act designates the Department of Defense as the lead agency to enhance domestic preparedness for responding to and managing the consequences of terrorists' use of WMD. Under the act, Defense established the Domestic Preparedness Program to provide first responder training focused on terrorist incidents involving chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons. Congress also passed the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, which authorizes the Attorney General, in consultation with the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to provide specialized training and equipment for enhancing the capabilities of metropolitan fire and emergency service departments to respond to terrorist attacks. in response, Justice established the Metropolitan Firefighters and Emergency Medical Services Program.

Military and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-01-27 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most military installations are not well prepared to respond to a terrorist incident involving Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) at the installation. A study commissioned by the Department of Defense (DoD) in 1997 looked at the effects of the use of a WMD by terrorists to see how this act interfered with U.S. forces in an ongoing operation in a forward theatre of operation. A follow on study by DoD looked at the effects of WMD at a Power projection platform that would potentially disrupt the reinforcing units going to a theatre of operations. Glaring deficiencies were discovered. The military installations were ill prepared to respond and resulted in inability to provide reinforcement support to operations in an overseas theatre of operations. Though the power projection platform problem is being addressed for those installations there is no current program to improve installation training or response. This Student Research Paper will address in depth the potential threat, analyze existing programs and provide recommendations to improve overall installation readiness, awareness and response to a WMD incident.With the realization that the United States and its citizens were extremely vulnerable to such an attack, Congress enacted the Domestic Preparedness Program under the 1996 Defense Against Weapons of Mass Destruction Act. This act was endorsed by the President to better prepare U.S. cities and its citizens to improve their capability to respond to a WMD incident. The Department of Defense was placed in charge of the program to help prepare the cities with support from all of the other Federal Agencies. At the same time the Department of Defense commissioned a study to determine vulnerabilities of military installations. This study was conducted by a group of retired General Officers that identified serious shortfalls and vulnerabilities at military bases both overseas and within the United States.

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 implemented a 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 Mass Destruction (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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A terrorist act involving a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear agent or weapon presents an array of complex issues to state and local responders. The responders, who may Include firefighters, emergency medical service personnel, and hazardous materials technicians, must identify the agent used in rapidly decontaminated victims and apply appropriate medical treatments. They must determine whether the agent has spread beyond the incident site and what actions should be taken to protect other people. They must also be concerned about damage to the physical infrastructure and about coordinating efforts with law enforcement personnel as they conduct their investigation. If the incident overwhelms the capabilities of state and local responders, they may turn to the federal government for assistance. Federal agencies may provide assistance by deploying various response teams. In response to your request, we reviewed federal agency teams that can respond to and help manage the consequences of a domestic terrorist Incident involving chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear agents or weapons. This report discusses (1) the characteristics of federal response teams, (2) whether duplication among teams belonging to different agencies exists, (3) the budget requirements process for teams and how the budgets are linked to a national strategy; and (4) initiatives to improve the operational coordination of federal response teams across agency lines.
