Book excerpt: SCOPEThis publication provides tactical-level commanders and staffs with keystone doctrine for operations to prevent, counter, defend, and mitigate the entire range of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threats,hazards, and effects—including support to combating weapons of mass destruction (CWMD) activities in all operational environments. It addresses operational concepts, principles, fundamentals, planning, operationalconsiderations, and training and support functions.PURPOSEThe purpose of this publication is to guide tactical commanders and staffs while they are conducting operations to shape the CBRN threat and hazard, facilitate the larger joint force mission, and serve military and nationalstrategy. This includes two important objectives:• To enhance mission effectiveness by preparing personnel, equipment, and facilities to react to, survive, and recover from hazard conditions.• To prevent, counter, defend, and mitigate to enable deployed forces to continue mission-critical operations under CBRN hazard conditions.This publication serves as a foundation for developing multi-Service and Service-specific manuals, standing operating procedures, and response standards and for refining existing training support packages, mission training plans, training center and unit exercises, and Service school curricula. It drives the examination of organizations and materiel developments applicable to the military support of CBRN operations. At a minimum, this manual—• Serves as the overarching and integrating doctrinal bridge to all supporting CBRN multi-Service tactics, techniques, and procedures (MTTP) publications and their application in support of CWMD at the tactical level.• Provides a link between CBRN operations multi-Service doctrine and the appropriate joint doctrine, namely JP 3-11, JP 3-40, and JP 3-41.• Provides a reference summary of relevant strategic and operational guidance for CWMD contained within national security and national military policy, strategy, and treaties.• Introduces and summarizes the challenges associated with global CBRN threats and hazards.
