Chemical Corps Efforts to Support the National Guard in its Role as Res ponders for CBRNE Missions

摘要

Volumes of material are devoted to the role that the Department of Defense (DOD) plays in response to domestic terrorist attacks involving chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosives (CBRNE). Numerous "think tanks" across the United States are publishing articles restating the perceived role of the DOD in domestic terrorist events, and strategic guidance documents and directives have been issued defining the mission. But what does the Chemical Corps support effort to domestic consequence management, as it applies to the National Guard (NG), look like for the near term? How will the Chemical Corps focus its capabilities to prepare NG units to respond to homeland security (HLS) missions?
