Commander's CBR-D (Chemical, Biological, and Radiological Defense) Decision Training Aid (DECAID) Demonstration Model and Design Refinement.

摘要

Chemical, Biological, and Radiological Defense (CBR-D) training has been identified by the fleet as deficient insofar as it has been dealt with as an independent topic, not closely interrelated with the overall shipboard mission which may be taking place in the CBR environment. The CBR-D area is unique in that the defensive measures (i.e., closing up the ship and outfitting the crew in protective clothing) cause nearly as much mission degradation as would an attack itself. Shipboard Damage Control Assistants need sophisticated training to be able to effectively weigh the risks associated with employing CBR defense measures, and to make appropriate choices consistent with ship mission. Effective risk management training is made especially difficult due to the fact that no experienced mentors are available who have experienced Naval operations in a CBR-D environment. The Damage Control Assistant course of instruction currently teaches established CBR-D doctrine and procedures in a classroom setting, but does not provide operational experience in the area of CBR-D risk management, or integrate CBR-D decisions into the overall tactical picture.
