Campbell Cover photograph: Specialst Daisy Zimmer, 221st Public Affairs Detachment 1 Chief of Chemical and Commandant, U.S. Army Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear School Greetings, Dragon Soldiers! Our Army and our Corps are at a critical point in history as we come together to fight the battle against the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). As I write this article, we are in the midst of one of the greatest crises of our lifetime and, quite possibly, at an inflection point in history. Our challenge today is balancing our number one priority, protecting the health and welfare of our people, with maintain- ing the readiness that our country requires of us, especially in this time of uncertainty and vulnerability. I am filled with incredible pride as I witness countless leaders in our Regiment stepping up to answer the call. Around the world, from Korea to Europe to New York—and everywhere in between—Dragon Soldiers are reconnecting, contribut- ing, and sharing best practices and lessons learned from serving on the frontlines of the daunting COVID-19 mission in efforts to support our communities. Our skills, equip- ment, training, and expertise are desperately needed right now, and I can assure you that our Soldiers and units are answering the call with professionalism and competence everywhere they are employed. In Korea, Eighth Army protection and chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) staff understood early on that defeating this insidious enemy would require cross-functional synchronization. Eighth Army units were some of the first to develop, Colonel(P) refine, and implement the tactics, techniques, procedures, and best practices that many Daryl O. Hood installations and communities have adopted today. Together with the 23d CBRN Bat- talion, Camp Humphreys, Korea, they established contact tracing teams to identify potential “hot spots” of COVID-19 contamination and then stood up “clean teams” that were deployable 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, to rapidly sanitize and disinfect critical areas across the Korean peninsula. The importance and value of social distancing, quarantine, and the wearing of protective face coverings was quickly understood and shared with all of us. U.S. Army Reserve CBRN Soldiers from the 773d Civil Support Team, Kaiserslautern, Germany, are another prime example of a unit that served on the frontlines as they assumed the mission of Task Force–Prevention for U.S. Army Gar- rison-Rheinland Pfalz on 28 March 2020. The unit deployed four teams to help “flatten the curve” and reduce the spread of COVID-19 by supporting sanitization and disinfection operations throughout the community. The top priorities of the 773d right now are to help protect Soldiers and Families and to maintain the readiness of the force. Our U.S. Army Reserve and Army National Guard CBRN Soldiers have been mobilized in support of their states and communities in significant numbers across the homeland. No less than 17 civil support teams, or portions thereof, have been mobilized, and homeland response forces/CBRN enhanced response force packages are active in at least 15 states (and counting) at this time. Units such as the 265th Chemical Battalion, Marietta, Georgia; the 272d Chemical Company, Massachusetts; and the 76th Operational Response Command, Salt Lake City, Utah, are all decisively engaged in the fight every day. They are doing whatever needs to be done, from supporting testing and screening operations to training the proper wear and doffing of personal protective equipment to assisting with hazmat disposal—and much, much more. Their training and knowledge are the decisive factors in this fight. At camps, posts, and stations across the land, our Dragon Soldiers are quietly and professionally contributing wherever they are needed. Their contributions are varied and numerous as they, once again, demonstrate how versatile, adaptable, and competent Dragon Soldiers are. We always answer the call when our Nation needs us the most. I could not be more proud of them or our entire enterprise of CBRN professionals who are stepping up to flatten the COVID-19 curve and pro- tect our force. To assist the Headquarters, Department of the Army G3/5/7 Crisis Action Team, the U.S. Army Nuclear and Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Agency has established a Web portal to serve as a repository for relevant COVID-19-related products.
