CBRN Safety 047
CBRN Safety 047 : Chapter I - Overview: (4) CBRN Response: (H) Doctrinal Publication Relationships: Several joint doctrine publications relate to CBRN response and provide critical information on employment of forces in a CBRN environment. JP 3-41, Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Consequence Management, shares a relationship with several publications within the joint doctrine hierarchy, specifically: JP 3-11, Operations in Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Environments; JP 3-28, Defense Support of Civil Authorities; JP 3-29, Foreign Humanitarian Assistance; JP 3-40, Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction; and JP 4-02, Health Service Support. However, each publication stands alone, as each has a particular focus and scope. The National Strategy to Combat Weapons of Mass Destruction identifies the three pillars of combating WMD as: nonproliferation, counterproliferation, and weapons of mass destruction consequence management (WMD CM). The National Military Strategy to Combat Weapons of Mass Destruction also identifies WMD CM as one of the eight military mission areas to combat WMD. As such, it will include capabilities to perform CBRN CM. As a mission area for DOD, WMD CM is action authorized by SecDef to mitigate the effects of a WMD attack or incident and, if necessary, provide temporary essential operations and services at home and abroad (JP 3-40, Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction). (I) Global Considerations: Whether in WMD form or occurring due to natural events, disasters, or accidents, CBRN threats and any resulting incidents and accidentsmay require coordinated international action. The US partners with other nations to encourage nonproliferation and counterproliferation of WMD, promote increased security for storage of all hazardous CBRN materials, and also build capacity to respond to global CBRN related incidents
