This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The potential for terrorists' use of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) threatens Americans every day To many nations and groups, their only means to counter the United States (U.S.) is with nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons According to most experts, terrorists use of WMD is no longer a question of "if" they will be used, but "when." When domestic capabilities were found to be lacking in this regard, Congress enacted legislation, Public Law 104-201, and named the National Guard as the primary responder to domestic WMD events. It is evident gaps and shortfalls remain in the National Guard's (NG) ability to respond to domestic WMD attacks, The purpose of this paper is to examine the critical gaps and shortfalls encountered by the CSTs since their activation, This is done by investigating any available materials concerning the NG involvement in the program, identifying the critical gaps and shortfalls encountered by the CSTs, and to coming up with recommendations to correct them. This paper examines current U.S. policy and strategy to counter terrorist uses of weapons of mass destruction. The second section will examine the CSTs infrastructure, The third section identifies and discusses the predominant gaps and shortfalls encounter by the teams. The final section details current shortfalls and recommendations to improve the overall CST capability.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There continues to be discussion about the military's readiness to assist civil authorities in response to weapons of mass destruction (WMD) incidents. Some suggest that the new demands of homeland security are so significant that total reorganization of the National Guard is required. Others cite the National Guard's long history of supporting traditional military missions, homeland defense and consequence management as proof that major reorganization is not necessary. This paper proposes that scenario-based analysis provides a method to help ascertain and achieve required levels of readiness. Broad, unsubstantiated assumptions and conclusions have not provided enough specificity or rationale for meaningful decision making. This paper discusses the traditional role of the National Guard in homeland security and the probability of a WMD terrorist event. The paper then proposes a scenario-based model that analyzes the probability of a specific WMD usage and its potential impact on the civilian community. Form this model, one can identify military missions unique to WMD consequence management. Analysis can then determine specific readiness deficiencies and recommendations for corrections. In this paper, the terrorist use of a radiological dispersion device (RDD) is modeled to illustrate the concept of scenario-based readiness planning. The paper concludes with specific recommendations to improve military readiness for response to RDDs.

Book excerpt: Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team Management - This regulation instruction prescribes policies, procedures, and responsibilities governing the employment of National Guard Weapons of Mass Destruction - Civil Support Teams (WMD-CSTs) in support of the National Guard homeland security, homeland defense, contingency operations, special events, incident of national significance, and Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) mission. National Guard CBRNE Enhanced Response Force Package Management - This regulation delineates the responsibilities and details the processes and procedures for management of the National Guard (NG) Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and high-yield Explosive (CBRNE) Enhanced Response Force Package (NG CERFP). In the United States, the civil emergency management structure manages the consequences of the release of a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) involving CBRNE devices. The National Guard leverages its war fighting capability to support the civil authorities by providing a disciplined, well trained, and well equipped organization to supplement local, state, and federal efforts to manage the potentially catastrophic effects of terrorism, or provide special technical support to augment specific needs of the Incident Commander (IC). NG CERFPs are designed and trained to provide search, extraction, medical triage, and decontamination of casualties during CBRNE events and advice and assistance to the IC, State Emergency Management, the State's Joint Forces Headquarters (JFHQ-State), the Adjutant General, the Governor, and other key officials, including representatives of federal agencies. The capabilities of the NG CERFP for search, extraction, medical triage and treatment, decontamination, and remains recovery can also be used in support of natural disasters where individuals have been trapped in structures and/or require decontamination from exposure to toxic materials such as petroleum products, pesticides, raw sewage, and structure debris that have been spread through flooding, explosion, or other means. This regulation establishes the processes and standards for synchronized, integrated, and seamless NG CERFP employment on short notice to assist local and state governments in protecting public health and safety.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This regulation delineates the responsibilities and details the processes and procedures for management of National Guard Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Teams (WMD-CST). Civil emergency management structure prepares for and manages the consequences of incidents that occur within their jurisdiction. The National Guard leverages its war fighting capability to support the civil authorities by providing a disciplined, well trained, and well equipped organization to supplement local, state, and Federal efforts to manage potential catastrophic events, or provide special technical support to augment specific needs of the Incident Commander (IC). WMD-CSTs are designed and trained to provide initial assessment of incidents and advise and assist the IC, State Emergency Management, the State's Joint Forces Headquarters (JFHQ-State), the Adjutant General (AG) or Commanding General (CG), the Governor, and other key officials, including representatives of Federal agencies. This regulation establishes the policies, processes, and standards for synchronized, integrated, and seamless WMD-CST employment across the nation, on short notice to assist local and state governments in protecting public health and safety, restoring essential government services, and providing emergency relief to governments, businesses, and individuals affected by the consequences of catastrophic events. Chapter 1 - Introduction * Chapter 2 - WMD-CST Response Management Plan * Chapter 3 - WMD-CST Mission Requests and Validations * Chapter 4 - Alert and Deployment * Chapter 5 - Command and Control * Chapter 6 - Reporting * Chapter 7 - Mission Execution * Chapter 8 - Operational Support * Chapter 9 - Medical * Chapter 10 - WMD-CST Logistics * Chapter 11 - Funding * Chapter 12 - Training and Readiness * Chapter 13 - Personnel and Administration * Chapter 14 - WMD-CST Certification and Revalidation Process * Chapter 15 - WMD-CST Standardization and Evaluation The WMD-CSTs are National Guard units designed to provide a specialized capability to respond to a chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear (CBRN) incident primarily in a Title 32 operational status within the United States, the District of Columbia, its territories and possessions, as established by 10 USC §12310. Congress, the President, and DoD recognized that the WMD-CSTs, responding under the authority of the Governor, provide significant capabilities to assist local and state agencies that may be overwhelmed by a large-scale terrorist attack or where specific technical capabilities to identify CBRN materials are required. In October 1998, Congress authorized and funded the fielding of the first 10 WMD-CSTs. With this fielding began the development and evolution of new capabilities and concepts to ensure that DoD could support evolving interagency response plans. Since 1998, Congress has authorized and funded the fielding of WMD-CSTs in the remaining States and territories.

Office of the Inspector General and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We evaluated the planning and reporting of the National Guard's Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Teams (WMD CSTs) in response to intentional or unintentional release of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or high-yield explosives and natural or man-made disasters. The four WMD CSTs reviewed had plans for each phase of operation (pre-operational, operational, and post-operational) identified in the Army Field Manual 3-11.22, Weapons of Mass Destruction-Civil Support Team Operations, December 2007. Those plans should improve the WMD CSTs' ability to prepare, prevent, protect, and respond to incidents involving chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or high-yield explosives and natural or man-made disasters. However, the four WMD CSTs reviewed did not fully meet the reporting requirements to keep the National Guard Bureau aware of their movements and operations. Specifically, the WMD CSTs did not provide required termination, situation, and after action reports, nor complete information for after action reports. Also, the National Guard Bureau records showed that the WMD CSTs conducted 409 response, stand-by, and assist missions from FY 2008 through FY 2011, while the teams' records showed a total of 640 missions for the same time period. This occurred because National Guard Bureau-J3, Domestic Operations Directorate personnel did not clarify reporting expectations or adequately oversee how the WMD CSTs implemented the reporting requirements identified in the National Guard Regulation 500-3/Air National Guard Instruction 10-2503, Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team Management. As a result, the National Guard Bureau did not have situational awareness of WMD CSTs' ability to immediately respond to a release of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or high-yield explosives and natural or man-made disaster."--P. i.

Book excerpt: " The 2010 National Security Strategy emphasizes the importance of strengthening our security and resilience at home and building capability to respond to and recover from major chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosive (CBRNE) incidents. The National Guard has established 17 CBRNE Enhanced Response Force Packages (CERFP), which are staffed with National Guard part-time personnel, to provide life-saving capabilities in response to a CBRNE event. The teams are intended to coordinate operations with multiple response partners at the local, state, and federal levels-including Department of Defense (DOD) forces. The National Guard Bureau (NGB) is responsible for managing the CERFP program. GAO assessed (1) how well CERFPs are prepared to perform their mission and how such readiness is measured and reported; (2) how effectively CERFPs coordinate with incident response partners and how well this is evaluated; and (3) the effectiveness of the CERFPs' command and control framework. GAO reviewed program documentation, surveyed National Guard and emergency management officials from 27 states, observed training exercises, and interviewed DOD, NGB, and CERFP officials. "

Download or read book Integrating the Army National Guard and the Army Reserve Into the Weapons of Mass Destruction: Consequence Management Role written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The millennium began with the United States more concerned than ever about the threat of terrorism in "Hometown USA". The Reserve Component (RC) has played a major role in the defense of this nation for more than a quarter of a century and will have an extensive role in defending against the terrorist threat. This report will examine how the Army National Guard (ARNG) and the Army Reserve (USAR) have stepped forward to assume their roles in national defense. The ARNG and the USAR were once referred to as weekend warriors with little credibility with the Active Component (AC). They were seen as untrained and unfit for modern warfare. However, over the past twenty-five years, the myth has faded. The RC has proven time and time again, deployment after deployment, that it can hold its own with the AC. The history of the ARNG and the USAR is bnefly discussed in order to give a clearer understanding and appreciation of their contributions to national defense. A brief review of how the missions have evolved since the seventeenth century, and prior to the second amendment to the constitution that allowed states to establish the National Guard, will also be discussed. Evolution of the ARNG and the USAR, and their missions over the last decade has fully integrated the Army into one Army. The chief of staff of the Army said, 'We are The Army totally integrated into oneness of purpose - no longer the Total Army, no longer The One Army, The Army, One Army'. This paper will detail the ARNG and the USAR roles in weapons of mass destruction (WMD) consequence management of homeland defense, and will briefly examine the training, equipment, and the ARNG response role of chemical and biological threats.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense is also in the process of reevaluating its contribution to homeland security in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks. Of particular concern is the DoD plan for assisting civilian authorities in consequence management - the measures taken to protect public health, safety, and the environment, to restore essential government services, and to provide emergency relief to governments businesses and individuals affected by the consequences of terrorism. A significant DoD contribution to the consequence management aspect of homeland security has been the development of the National Guard Weapons of Mass Destruction - Civil Support Team (WMD-CST), a new type of unit designed to provide civilian authorities military support in response to WMD attacks involving the use of nuclear, biological, chemical, or radiological (NBCR) weapons. The development of the WMD-CST concept has raised considerable debate over the merits of the new organization. Previous authors argued that the WMD-CST is incapable of providing timely support to local authorities. Others take the criticism of the WMD-CST a step further, calling into question the ability of the Department of Defense to provide personnel sufficiently trained to provide meaningful support to civilian first responders. Positive reviews emphasized the WMD-CSTs' ability to respond rapidly to events, because of their ability to operate under Title 32 or Title 10 authority.
