Exercise Forms

In the ATP-3.8.1 Vol III[i], the CBRN defence can be incorporated into all types of exercises. They can be conducted on both national and multi-national levels. The exercises can be classified as ‘non-specific’ and ‘specific’. In non-specific exercises,rehearsing specific CBRN defence elements is not a primary focus. These exercises take two forms: a. Command Post … Read moreExercise Forms

The impact of terrain on a CBRN release

According to ATP-45. Warning And Reporting and Hazard Prediction of Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Incidents[i], detailed weather information such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, precipitation, and stability must be obtained to determine the effects of a CBRN hazard on the surrounding environment of the incident. Apart from the meteorological data, the impact … Read moreThe impact of terrain on a CBRN release

CBRN information management in the National System for Contamination Detection and Alarm (NSCDA)

Essential requirements in formatting information CBRN information is managed with the use of specialized executive systems. Each country has its own information management system. In Poland, such a system is the National System for Contamination Detection and Alarm (NSCDA), which is managed by the Centre for Analysis of Contamination (CBRN warning and reporting centre). What is important, all NATO countries apply uniform … Read moreCBRN information management in the National System for Contamination Detection and Alarm (NSCDA)

Physical protection elements

Allied Tactical Publication (ATP) – 3.8.1 stresses that any CBRN attack should be analysed through temperature and weather conditions, in particular.
