Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team (WMD-CST) 2
Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team (WMD-CST) 2 :
The WMD-CSTs are NG units designed to provide a specialized capability to respond to a CBRNE incident primarily in a Title 32 USC operational status within the United States and its territories as established by Title 10 USC. Responding under the authority of the governor, they provide significant capabilities to assist local and state agencies that may be overwhelmed by an intentional or unintentional release of CBRNE or natural or man-made disasters. The WMD-CSTs also have the capability to provide support for smaller-scale incidents where specific technical capabilities are required. The WMD-CST may also be federalized and deployed as a part of a federal response to an incident in or outside the WMD-CST assigned state. (DA, WMD CST Operations, 2007, p. 1-3)
