CBRN Safety 130
CBRN Safety 130 : Chapter IV - Department of Defense-Led CBRN CM: (5) Planning Considerations During Military Operations: (D) DOD-led CBRN CM operations can occur at any point in a campaign; therefore, these operations should be considered as a branch to contingency operations. DOD-led CBRN CM-related activities are conducted in the following phases, which differ from traditional operational phases as found in JP 5-0, Joint Operation Planning: (1) Phase 0 (Shape): This is a continuous phase. The intent of this phase is to ensure DOD is organized, trained, equipped, and prepared to minimize the effects of CBRN incidents on foreign soil. Key tasks of this phase include planning response capabilities within the joint force, identifying possible partner nation FCM capabilities, incorporating DOD-led CBRN CM scenarios into training and exercises, and developing intelligence on friendly, neutral, and enemy CBRN threats in the operational area. (2) Phase I Deter (Situation Assessment and Preparation): Transition to phase I occurs on reliable indications and warnings of a CBRN incident or upon notification that an incident has occurred. Phase I includes those actions required to conduct a timely and accurate assessment of the CBRN situation, preparation for deployment, and deployment of selected advance elements. Phase I ends when the nature and scope of the CBRN situation and initial response requirements are defined. The response spectrum may include technical expertise, specialized teams, or entire units. Conventional forces will also be needed to carry out non-CBRN tasks (medical, transportation, security, etc Any limited initial response to a CBRN incident conducted by DOD commanders operating under immediate response authority would likely occur during phase I. Plans should also include HA/DR considerations for those affected by the CBRN incident or its cause. (3) Phase II Seize the Initiative (Deployment): Phase II begins with the deployment of designated forces and the establishment of formal command relationships between supported and supporting commanders. Depending on the nature and scope of the hazard, forces may continue to flow for some time (days, weeks, or even months). Commanders begin planning immediately for redeployment and transition to civilian agencies, including USG, other international governments, donors, and NGOs, and should identify the necessary or minimum conditions needed to effect the transition. Phase II ends when the first capability arrives and is operational. (4) Phase III Dominate (Mitigate Hazard Effects): Phase III begins with the initialization of efforts to mitigate hazard effects. These efforts may include lifesaving operations, personnel and equipment decontamination, actions to stop or reduce the source of contamination, and actions to support associated HA/DR efforts as a result of the CBRN incident. Remediation (return to a pre-contaminated state) is usually not possible by DOD forces. Rather, the control of the hazard site and reduction to the threat to forces and any nearby civilians is the goal. When (due to operations) transition is not possible, the area will be marked to protect forces and any civilians in the area. Phase III ends when the on-scene commander determines that the incident site is under positive control. (5) Phase IV Stabilize (Transition to Close the Incident Site): Phase IV begins initiation of the redeployment plan. The situation contained, the effort is now made to reduce the personnel needed to continue mitigation efforts. When possible, HN, NGO, or USG personnel may replace functions performed by DOD personnel. Otherwise, efforts will be made to mark the area to reduce any residual threat to personnel or civilians in the area. Phase IV ends when the mitigation of the incident is at such a point where it is determined that no or minimal personnel are needed to maintain security of the site. (6) Phase V Enable Civilian Authorities (Redeployment): Phase V begins with the redeployment of the bulk US military forces involved in CBRN CM operations or the formal transition of those forces to a purely DR or HA mission. Phase V is complete when all forces have returned to their previous military posture or completed transition to other missions
