Domestic CBRN CM. Considerations for Domestic CBRN CM. Considerations for domestic CBRN CM include: (1) The joint force in a CBRN environment: The joint force is also responsible for protecting each member of DOD in support of civil authorities. The CBRN environment causes joint forces to plan in a unique way and recognize the primary reason for employment of the joint force is to support civil authorities and mitigate the consequences of a CBRN incident. (2) Layered CBRN response: The NRF describes a tiered response and emphasizes that response to incidents should be handled at the lowest jurisdictional level capable of handling the work. The response to a CBRN incident requires the integration and synchronization of capabilities from the local, state, tribal, and federal level. (3) Integrated CBRN CM framework: During a CBRN incident, DHS coordinates the federal government's incident management efforts in support of the civil authorities. However, it is likely that the major elements of operational framework will have already been established IAW strategic decisions made by state and local responders in the initial hours of the response effort. (4) Organizing considerations: A joint task force (JTF) established in support of CBRN CM is organized in a manner similar to a conventional JTF. (5) CBRN response options: The Joint Publication (JP) 5-0, Joint Operation Planning, phasing model is adapted for domestic CBRN response operations with the following phases: Phase 0: Shape - interagency coordination, planning, identification of gaps, exercises, and public affairs outreach; Phase I: Anticipate - alerting and preparing the joint force may be directed through a CJCS warning order, planning order, or alert order; Phase II: Respond - executes deployment of forces to key theater nodes and to the joint operations area (JOA) to save lives, minimize human suffering, and maintain public confidence; Phase III: Operate - planning and execution efforts are synchronized and integrated with the efforts of the supported civil authorities, as well as other military operations that may be occurring simultaneously within the same operational area; Phase IV: Stabilize - scaling down of operations as DOD Title 10, USC, forces, Title 32, USC, NG, and/or state active duty utilization diminishes with the associated completion of a majority of incident site mission assignments; and Phase V: Transition - consequences of the CBRN incident have been mitigated and adequate support of civil authorities has been provided such that further support is no longer required
