DOWNLOAD EBOOKToday, the United States Armed Forces are engaged in global operations while simultaneously protecting the homeland. Our Service members face many challenges, but the threat posed by weapons of mass destruction (WMD) is among the greatest. The Chemical and Biological Defense Program (CBDP) provides support and world class capabilities, which enable them to survive and operate successfully in chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) environments. The CBDP is an essential component of Department of Defense (DoD) efforts supporting national and military strategies to combat WMD. The CBDP supports a comprehensive strategic framework to improve CBRN defense preparedness and readiness, reduce risk to the warfighter, and field the appropriate mix of capabilities for sustained military operations with minimum degradation of combat effectiveness attributed to CBRN hazards. In accordance with the 2006 National Military Strategy to Combat Weapons of Mass Destruction, the DoD seeks to dissuade, deter and defeat those who seek to harm the United States, its allies, and partners through WMD use or threat of use and, if attacked, to mitigate the effects and restore deterrence. Research, development, and acquisition (RDA) of chemical and biological (CB) defense equipment and capabilities is executed by DoD as a Joint Service program in accordance with Title 50 United States Code (U.S.C.) 1522 (Public Law 103-160). The CBDP also addresses radiological and nuclear defense requirements; however, these activities are limited by U.S.C. 1522 to specific types of radiation detection equipment, modeling and simulation (M & S) capabilities, and medical countermeasures to treat the physiological effects of radiological and nuclear source material exposure.
