5. The Chief of Chemical’s Vision
An Army superbly equipped, trained and ready to fight and win unhindered by threatened or actual CBRN hazards.
A Corps of professional soldiers, tactically and technically unsurpassed, imbued with the warrior ethos.
A capability, both vital and relevant, for the combatant commander, the joint warfight and the defense of the homeland.
My vision is for the Army to have the capability to operate and function completely unhindered by a threatened or real CBRN environment. This ability will allow the Combatant Commander to deploy and use his forces at 100% efficiency. To achieve this level of proficiency we must provide our fighting forces the training, equipment and expertise they require.
A professional group of CBRN defense experts, unsurpassed tactically and technically, and imbued with the warriors ethos, is my vision for the soldiers who serve in the Chemical Corps. We must ensure that the Corps is manned by highly qualified soldiers who are also flexible enough to adapt to any situation in any operational environment.
I visualize a Chemical Corps with capabilities that are both vital and relevant to the Combatant Commander and the Joint Warfight. To achieve that goal we must leverage all technology, leadership and training to provide the Combatant Commander with the right systems to be an effective and viable resource to the Joint Warfight. 5

The NBC recon team provides NBC recon support to a special forces unit. LB teams are allocated on the basis of one per special forces group. These units are assigned or attached to units organized into composite chemical combat support (CS) units. These CS units provide NBC recon support under diverse circumstances.
The LB team also can provide NBC technical knowledge about the enemy's NBC personnel, materiel, techniques, and tactics. It can analyze and assist in the disposition of captured NBC intelligence and materiel. The LB team performs strategic NBC recon operations of theater requirements, using unconventional warfare techniques. It collects NBC intelligence and provides technical knowledge pertaining to the enemy's weapon capabilities, techniques, and disposition. The LB team is parachute qualified..
The two current two active duty detachments are the 56th (supporting 5th SFG – Fort Campbell) and 112th (supporting 1st SFG – Fort Lewis)

12. CBRNE Center of Excellence
First Responder Training Facility
Chemical Defense Training Facility
BIDs Bunker / FOX Den
First Responder Training Facility - The Homeland Security CBRN strategy encompasses existing Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Teams (WMD-CST), Antiterrorism/Force Protection instruction, revisions to current Army Chemical School instruction, and development of CBRN Installation Support Teams (CBRN-IST) and CBRN Regional Response Teams (CBRN-RRT). Five new training courses will be developed. One course (WMD-CST Emergency Detection & Assessment) will be revised. All courses will be reviewed or developed to maximize delivery of instruction away from Fort Leonard Wood (FLW) using distributed or distance learning methodologies. The CBRN-IST instruction will be tiered for equipment availability. This will ensure installations are covered now, and when new equipment is fielded.
Chemical Defense Training Facility - DoD’s only Toxic Chemical Agent Training Facility. One of the only two authorized agent production sites in the United States. Only Chemical Agent Surety Site on a TRADOC Post. Unique operational design allows for training using the deliberate but controlled use of predetermined amounts of toxic nerve agents (GB and VX).
BIDs Bunker / FOX Den – Training facilities that mirror the shelter/vehicle systems to give realism to training. After completion of training, an Additional Skill Identifier (ASI) is awarded.

Fort to Port – Deployment Implications
-Organized and Equipped - RRT's, Regional Response Teams, and other quick reaction teams, will be trained on and equipped with specialty equipment such as Level A and Level B Protective Ensembles, HAPSITE Mass Spectrometers, and various Toxic Industrial Chemical detectors and alarms. These teams will have to be able to respond to a virtually unlimited number of situations, including attacks using available Toxic Industrial Chemicals or Radiological Materials as well as improvised "homemade" biological weapons.
-Integrated Sensor Array - A networked combination of Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Toxic Industrial Chemical detectors, both point and stand-off, providing information to an IOC/EOC. When combined with video coverage and meteorological information, this array will provide holistic situational awareness to installation staffs.
-Information Management - Computerized systems are required to capture and analyze detection information. Detection information is combined with meteorological information and forecasting models to define the exact hazard. Decision support software will alert IOC personnel as to likely numbers and types of casualties, number of ambulance sorties required, and other critical planning information - ensuring a timely accurate and adequate response to any given situation.

This illustrates the organizations that can respond to a CBRN incident on an installation. The Installation Support Team, an organic matrixed organization, provides the installation an immediate capability to respond to a CBRN event. It works for the Garrison Commander.
The Regional Response Team or RRT, strategically stationed across CONUS, responds to a CBRN event on an installation to augment and reinforce an Installation Support Team. The Regional Response Team can also pre-position if threat indicators warrant. Currently, the CBRN RRTs will be FORSCOM assets that would become OPCON to a Garrison Commander upon deployment to an incident.
The Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Teams could respond as well if directed by the state governors or if federalized.
An emerging organizational concept known as the CBRNE Operational Command includes the capability to respond to a CBRN incident at an installation.
