1 WMD Operations Unit 6 slide 1 MODULE 2 UNIT 6 Biological

2 WMD Operations Unit 6 slide 2 Unit 6 Learning Objectives At the end of this unit the student will Describe the different types of biological agents and the basic signs and symptoms that will lead to the identification of biological agent used.

3 WMD Operations Unit 6 slide 3 Student Performance Objectives Describe Vectors and the three(3) main types of vectors used for transmission. Describe the 6 biological agent classifications. Describe the basic difference between the 3 categories of biological agents. Describe why toxins are classified as biological weapons.

4 WMD Operations Unit 6 slide 4 Student Performance Objectives Describe the process of aerobic bacteria weaponization. Describe the basic process of anaerobic bacteria toxin weaponization. Describe the basic process for virus weaponization.

5 WMD Operations Unit 6 slide 5 Student Performance Objectives Describe the most important identifying characteristic in the weaponization process of a WMD. Describe what Agri –Terror means.
