CBRN Safety 062 :

Chapter I - Overview: (5) General Planning Considerations for CBRN Response: (C) Operational Planning Considerations for a Chemical, Biological, Radiological or Nuclear Response: (7) Site Management Support Planning: (a) Containment: Joint force CBRN response forces can provide the capability to mitigate or reduce further risk or damage to persons, materiel, facilities, and the environment. Contamination-control measures include leaving equipment in a potentially contaminated area until it is tested for contamination by qualified personnel. Other measures include encapsulating contaminated items by covering the equipment with plastic bags or tarps. (b) Detection/Identification: DOD forces may be tasked to detect and identify the specific hazard(s) and set hazard boundaries. Military CBRN surveillance and reconnaissance units may also be tasked to survey the contaminated area to determine extent and level/degree of contamination. Survey elements might need to consider the incident site as a crime scene by setting boundaries and cordoning the site to safeguard responders and onlookers and prevent further contamination or environmental damage. Hazard areas may need to be marked and isolated to warn and protect the response personnel working in the area. Setting boundaries facilitates strict control into and out of the incident site. (c) Security: The JFC may provide Title 10, USC, forces in support of nonmilitary law enforcement agencies. This support may include, but is not limited to, providing information concerning a violation of state or federal laws, loaning military equipment and facilities, providing personnel to operate and/or maintain the loaned equipment, and providing basic training or expert advice. (d) Evidence: Evidence collected for forensic analysis on-site or at a different location and time. (e) Zone Control: In a response role, joint forces may assist with verification and management of containment boundaries set by civilian (or affected nation) authorities. Control zones are operational areas established by civilian authorities at an incident site within which only specific types of operations are conducted. Personnel working in these areas must adhere to strict procedures to ensure the safety of those working in the zones. Control zones are established to ensure the safety of all responders and control access into and out of a contaminated area. See Chapter II,  Domestic Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Consequence Management, for domestic zone operations as a guide when local authorities have not established controls. (f) Movement: Consider requirements to decontaminate personnel, vehicles, and equipment in support of evacuation, redeployment, or any movement from a contaminated site. The intent to retrograde residually contaminated equipment/cargo will require special approval through CJCS due to potential risks and political and environmental sensitivities. (g) Disposal: Consider requirements to dispose of unsalvageable equipment and vehicles. Also plan for disposal/disposition of contaminated materials that cannot be feasibly decontaminated. (h) Monitoring: Consider requirements to monitor personnel, vehicles, and equipment entering or exiting a contaminated zone
