CBRN Safety 043
CBRN Safety 043 : Chapter I - Overview: (4) CBRN Response: (A) Domestic CBRN CM is the USG effort to prepare for and respond to a CBRN incident within the US and its territories IAW the NRF. Domestic CBRN response (with DOD and/or National Guard [NG] in Title 10 or Title 32, United States Code (USC), status or state active duty) is a form of civil support (CS)/defense support of civil authorities (DSCA) (with DHS as the lead for coordinating the USG response). Domestic CBRN response leverages the total force capabilities of the Active Component (AC) and Reserve Component (RC) (NG, and reserves) in the homeland. The DOD CBRN Response Enterprise is an integrated AC and RC approach to CBRN response. As such, different elements of the DOD CBRN Response Enterprise may be in direct support of different entities at any given time. For example, NG forces may be under the command and control (C2) of a state governor while Title 10, USC, forces are under the C2 of Commander, United States Northern Command (CDRUSNORTHCOM) in support of the lead federal agency (LFA). (B) FCM encompasses the overall USG effort to prepare for and respond to a CBRN incident on foreign territory in which an impacted nation has primary responsibility, and DOS is the lead USG agency responsible for coordinating the USG response. DOD provides support as requested by the impacted nation, coordinated through DOS, and approved by SecDef. The USG may provide FCM to an affected nation either at the request of the affected nation or upon affected nation acceptance of a USG offer of assistance. (C) Domestic and FCM responses formally begin when support is requested by either domestic or foreign civilian authorities, and continues until either those civilian authorities have determined that DOD support is no longer required or otherwise directed by SecDef. The final phase of USG operations will almost always be addressed and coordinated by civilian authorities in both the domestic and foreign situations. This final recovery phase may or may not require continued DOD assistance, depending upon the hazard and the circumstances. (D) In DOD-led CBRN CM, DOD serves as the lead USG agency, although it may be supported by other organizations. DOD-led CBRN CM would typically occur during military operations (e.g., WMD offensive operations), or in other situations in which DOS lacks sufficient local authority or presence to lead the USG effort
