When responding to the consequences of such an incident, the local incident commander requests assistance through the established emergency management system from county, state, and federal agencies, as required. We know that we, in the Department of Defense, though not in charge of response to natural or man-made disasters, will be called on quickly to support the lead federal agency, just as the National Guard supports the lead agencies in the state. Congress established the WMD-CST in Statute
Over the past 10 years NGB has established, trained and equipped 57 National Guard teams to provide the initial military support to terrorist attacks using nuclear, chemical, biological , or radiological weapons. These teams, made up of 22 highly trained Army and Air National Guard personnel, originally called Rapid Assessment and Initial Detection or RAID teams are now known as Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Teams (WMD-CSTs) to more accurately characterize their mission to assist civil responders in dealing with the potentially overwhelming effects of such an attack. In FY07, Congress expanded the operational use of WMD-CST capabilities to include intentional and unintentional release of CBRN materials and natural or manmade disasters in the United States that result in, or could result in, catastrophic loss of life or property.
When responding to the consequences of such incidents, the local incident commander requests assistance through the established emergency management system from county, state, and federal agencies, as required. We know that we, in the Department of Defense, though not in charge of response to natural or man-made disasters, will be called on quickly to support the lead federal agency, just as the National Guard supports the lead agencies in the state.
In addition to identification of CBRNE agents and substances, these teams provide additional technical capabilities for assessing the situation. They can provide advice on dealing with the effects of the incident or attack, and to help the incident commander make accurate, expedited requests for that assistance through the emergency response system (local, state, and federal) for follow-on support. Their knowledge of CBRN attacks and military capabilities can especially help characterize the assistance required from military organizations so that , through the established civil response systems, we can get the needed help to the site in the most expeditious manner. Their equipment includes state-of-the-art gear to supplement local and state response organizations, a analytical laboratory suite for complete characterization of an unknown sample and a secure communications platform which can provide reach back capabilities to other experts needed to help the local response effort.

12. FY13 HRF / CERFP EXEVAL Timeline

13. Review CERFP / HRF Equipment
Review CERFP / HRF equipment list, Provide professional input on equipment where NGB, working with local and state responders, can standardized the HRF/CERFP Equipment list with the first responders and meet NIOSH and other required civilian standards
Review mission of each CERFP/HRF element
Review tasks of each element
Review equipment list for each element
IAB output answers the question:
”Is this equipment appropriate for integration with first responders?”
“Is there other equipment that could improve integration with first responders?”
“What does National Guard need to do to maintain equipment interoperability?”
IAB Subgroup: Equipment

14. Review CERFP / HRF CONOPS
Review CERFP/HRF CONOPS and Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs), make suggestions or recommendations where Guard and First Responders can standardize TTPs.
Review of concept of operations of HRF and CERFP
Review function of each HRF/CERFP element
Specific questions to guide input:
Who do Fatality Search and Recovery Teams coordinate with to handle remains (collection)?
How does medical/decon integration compare with first responder practices?
How will first responders likely employ HRF/CERFP elements modularly (by incident type)?
How can HRF/CERFP best support Urban Search and Rescue?
IAB output answers the question:
”Is this current HRF/CERFP CONOPS adequate to integrate with first responders?”
“Are there recommendations that could improve integration with first responders?”
IAB Subgroup: Strategic Planning

15. Evaluate CBRN Response Enterprise Training
Evaluate individual and collective training of CBRN Response Enterprise to ensure that educational curricula meets or exceeds standards required to execute CBRN tasks.
Review purpose of each CERFP/HRF element
Review tasks of each element
Review training requirements list for each element
IAB output answers the question:
”Is this training appropriate for integration with first responders?”
“Is there other training that could improve integration with first responders?”
“What does National Guard need to do to maintain interoperable training?”
