MULTISERVICE TACTICS, TECHNIQUES, AND PROCEDURES FOREWORD This publication has been prepared under our direction for use by our respective commands and other commands as appropriate. THOMAS W. SPOEHR JAMES F.

JEWETT RICHARD A. FRYER, JR. Rear Admiral, USN Colonel, USAF Commander Commander Navy Warfare Development Command Headquarters Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency This publication is available at Army Knowledge Online <www.us.army.mil> and the General Dennis J. Reimer Training and Doctrine Digital Library at <http://www.train.army.mil>. PREFACE 1. Scope This multiservice publication is designed for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) responders who plan and conduct CBRN consequence management (CM) operations in domestic, foreign, or theater operational environments, to include military installations. Department of Defense (DOD) personnel responding to a CBRN incident may be responsible for CBRN CM and/or crisis planning and may be required to execute plans across the conflict spectrum. This publication provides a reference for planning, resourcing, and executing CBRN CM in support of domestic or foreign agencies responding to a CBRN incident. Specific tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) are included in the appendixes. This manual incorporates the joint doctrine elements from Joint Publication (JP) 3-40, Joint Doctrine for Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction; JP 3-41, Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and High-Yield Explosives Consequence Management; and JP 3-11, Joint Doctrine for Operations in Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Environments, for conducting CBRN CM (foreign and domestic), including planning, preparation, response, and recovery considerations. During operations, this publication is subordinate to current JPs addressing this topic. 2. Purpose The purpose of this publication is to provide commanders, staffs, key agencies, and military members with a key reference for planning and conducting CBRN CM. It provides the tools for CBRN responders to effectively manage the consequences of a CBRN incident. It also may serve as a reference for development and refining of training and exercises, but shall not supersede Service policy. 3. Application This publication is designed for use at the tactical level, but has implications at the operational and strategic level for CBRN CM operations supporting strategic objectives. The document will support command and staff planning in preparing for and conducting CBRN CM operations. This manual focuses on DOD support to domestic or foreign CBRN CM operations and a companion reference, Multiservice Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Installation Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense, addresses the CBRN defense response on a DOD installation. This publication applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard (ARNG)/Army National Guard of the United States (ARNGUS), the United States Army Reserve (USAR) unless otherwise stated and to the USMC. 4. Implementation Plan Participating service command offices of primary responsibility (OPRs) will review this publication, validate the information, and reference and incorporate it in service and command manuals, regulations, and curricula as follows: Army. The United States Army (USA) will incorporate the procedures in this publication in Army training and doctrinal publications as directed by the commander, United States Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC). Distribution is according to the Department of the Army (DA) Form 12-99-R, (Initial Distribution (ID) Requirements for Publications). 1 April 2008 FM 3-11.21/MCRP 3-37.2C/NTTP 3-11.24/AFTTP(I) 3-2.37 i Marine Corps. The United States Marine Corps (USMC) will incorporate the procedures in this publication in USMC training and doctrinal publications as directed by the Commanding General, Marine Corps Combat Development Command. Distribution is according to the USMC publications distribution system. Navy. The United States Navy (USN) will incorporate procedures from this publication where appropriate. Nothing in this publication will supersede existing Service- specific policy on the conduct of Installation Emergency Management, Installation CBRN Defense, Naval Security Forces, Installation Fire and Emergency Services, Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA), Foreign Consequence Management (FCM), or other relevant mission areas and/or functional components. Air Force. The United States Air Force (USAF) will incorporate the procedures in this publication in USAF training and doctrinal publications as directed by the Air Staff. Distribution is according to the Department of the USAF Publications Distribution System. 5. Summary of Change a. This multiservice publication incorporates the CM guidance and framework identified in JP 3-40 and JP 3-41. The guidance in these JPs did not exist when the previous CM manual was written, thus there are significant differences between this publication and the previous CM manual. Material that existed in the previous manual was eliminated from this multiservice tactics, techniques, and procedures (MTTP), as appropriate, when it appeared in JP 3-40 and JP 3-41 and did not serve the intended audience. Due to the development of JP 3-40 and JP 3-41, higher-level guidance and information now exists and this MTTP supports the implementation of guidance from the new overarching doctrine publications. b. The previous MTTP also discussed the CBRN aspects of CM as it related to the Federal Response Plan (FRP), which was the current guidance at that time. This MTTP provides information on the National Response Plan (NRP), which replaced the FRP in December 2004. The NRP aligns federal coordination structures, capabilities, and resources into a unified, all-discipline, and all-hazards approach to domestic incident management. This manual now complies with the NRP, as appropriate. c. The National Incident Management System (NIMS) is a comprehensive approach to all aspects of incident management, regardless of size, complexity, or cause. The guidance for NIMS was published by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in March 2004 and continues to be refined and updated by the NIMS Integration Center. One of the six primary elements of NIMS is the use of a standardized command and management system for incident scene operations, termed the Incident Command System (ICS), and for supporting operations centers (OCs), termed the Multiagency Coordination System. In addition, NIMS prescribes specific standards regarding all aspects of preparedness, including planning, training, certification, equipment, and information systems. DOD guidance embraces NIMS, and this manual adopts NIMS whenever applicable. d. This manual also incorporates updated information concerning mass casualty decontamination (MCD) operations that was not previously available. ii FM 3-11.21/MCRP 3-37.2C/NTTP 3-11.24/AFTTP(I) 3-2.37 1 April 2008 6.
