APPENDIX 2 CBRN Threat Conditions To 501st SBDE CBRN TACSOP FSOP Sample
CBRNE THREAT LEVEL AND CONDITIONS
1. CBRNE THREAT Warning System. Consists of five (5) conditions reflecting indicators and probability of enemy CBRNE munitions employment. The MEB directed minimum protective actions are included for each threat level.
THREATCON White
1. Probability of attack: Negligible.
2. Definition: The opposing force does not possess CB defense equipment, is not trained in CB defense or employment and does not possess the capability to employ CB agents or systems nor will they most probably gain access to CB agents.
3. Enemy indicators: None.
4. Recommended actions:
a. A deploying force would not necessarily have to carry their full complement of chemical defense equipment (CDE). However, protective masks should be carried by ground forces and components should have a contingency plan to deploy and distribute their full complement of CDE if the situation warrants.
b. Chemical personnel should constantly monitor threat indicators for any change in the enemy CBRNE status.
THREATCON Green
1. Probability of attack: Possible.
2. Definition: The opposing force has an offensive CB capability, has received training in defense and employment techniques, but there are no indications of the use of CB weapons in the immediate future.
3. Indicators: There has been no overt CBRNE activity. The enemy has a CB capability but weapons have not been dispersed or deployed.
4. Recommended unit actions:
a. Personnel carry their individual CDE and commanders have additional contingency CDE stockpiles identified readily available for distribution if the threat status should increase.
b. Conduct refresher CBRNE training to include individual CBRNE common survival skills training, CBRNE team training, and unmasking procedures.
c. Activate the CBRNEWRS.
d. Activate passive CBRNE defense measures.
e. Identify Decontamination sites, water sources, and civilian Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives
