CBRN Safety 125 :

Chapter IV - Department of Defense-Led CBRN CM: (2) Roles and Responsibilities: Roles, responsibilities, and relationships for DOD-led CBRN CM differ from those listed in Chapter II, Domestic Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Consequence Management. The following information applies only to DOD-led CBRN CM: (a) Office of the Secretary of Defense: OSD coordinates JFC requests for support and forces with other USG departments and agencies and coordinates through DOS for support from partner nations and NGOs. OSD coordinates with the interagency for the transition or transfer of responsibility of CBRN CM operations to other USG departments and agencies, international agencies, or other countries, as appropriate. OSD coordinates with both DOS and the Joint Staff to obtain international legal authorities, protocols, standards, and agreements and multinational support for operations. Additionally, OSD coordinates with DOS to notify the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons of discoveries or destruction of chemical weapons materials and former production facilities. (b) Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: CJCS through the Joint Staff coordinates with combatant commands and Services to make sure that DOD-led CBRN CM operations are executed in compliance with domestic, international, and foreign laws, policies, treaties, and agreements. They assist with interagency support for operations and assist in planning and exercising activities within the interagency process. They also coordinate and provide intelligence support to the CCDRs for threat identification and prioritization. When required after SecDef approval, CJCS publishes appropriate EXORDs for DOD-led CBRN CM operations. (c) Geographic Combatant Commanders: GCCs plan and execute DOD-led CBRN CM operations within their AORs. They incorporate DOD-led CBRN CM operations into their operational plans. GCCs also provide for intratheater movement of specialized personnel and equipment and coordinate transportation of suspect or confirmed CBRN related material, to include weapons, agents, delivery systems, and infrastructure for short- to long-term storage, protection, dismantlement, destruction, or disposal. This includes tracking, documenting, accounting, and reporting WMD material, facilities, and personnel discovered, stored, or destroyed in the AOR. CCDRs coordinate with OSD and the Joint Staff to plan for transition or transfer of responsibility of DOD-led CBRN CM operations to other multinational forces or nation-states. Finally, they coordinate with OSD and the Joint Staff to ensure operations are in compliance with US obligations under international laws, policies, treaties, and agreements. (d) Defense Threat Reduction Agency: DTRA provides operational and technical advice and support to DOD components and other USG departments and agencies, as requested and approved regarding CBRN CM operations. This is accomplished through training and exercises, the deployment of CBRN CM advisory teams, and operational planning assistance. DTRA also provides modeling, predictions, assessments, publications, training, lessons learned, analysis, and other support as required. DTRA provides technical reachback through the DTRA Operations Center, a 24/7 WMD and CBRN national reachback and situational awareness facility for all technical support. During CBRN CM, DTRA liaises with other technical support providers and the intelligence community to meet support requests
