Book Description
"In 1993, Congress passed Public Law 103-160, Section 1703 which created a Joint Service Chemical and Biological Defense Program (CBDP). The mission of the CBDP is to provide world-class chemical and biological defense capabilities to allow the military forces of the United States to survive and successfully complete their operational missions--from peacetime contingency missions through two nearly simultaneous major theater wars across the entire spectrum of conflict--in battlespace environments contaminated with chemical or biological warfare agents. Under the oversight of a single office within the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Deputy Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Chemical and Biological Defense, the individual Services, working within the framework of a Joint Service Agreement, have planned and supported a robust, coordinated program. This overview document provides highlights of our major efforts within the program, providing a summary of FY00 accomplishments and goals for FY01 and beyond. A separate, more detailed DoD Annual Report to Congress on the Chemical and Biological Defense Program is provided to the Congress."--Preface.

Book Description
The mission of the U.S. Department of Defense's (DOD) Joint Chemical and Biological Defense Program (CBDP) is to provide chemical and biological defense capabilities in support of the national military strategies. To accomplish this mission, the CBDP works with other federal agencies, state and local governments, Congress, and the private sector. This document provides an overview of the current and future programs that enable our troops to protect themselves and our nation from CBRN threat. The current environment demands a CBDP that is visionary, able to respond quickly to warfighter and national security needs, and streamlined with authority and accountability vested in specific executives. The Department will continuously assess its progress, ever striving to ensure that the U.S. military has the capabilities and information to operate effectively and decisively in the face of CBRN threats, in warfighter and homeland security missions, today and through the challenges of tomorrow. Additionally, the DOD Annual Report to Congress on the Chemical and Biological Defense Program provides a more detailed overview of the CBDP, as well as a more detailed examination of the program's objectives for the future.

Book Description
The mission of the Department of Defense's (DoD) Joint Chemical and Biological Defense Program (CBDP) is to ensure that the U.S. military has the capability to operate effectively and decisively in the face of Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) threats in both warfighter and homeland security missions. In order to accomplish this mission, the CBDP works to advance national interests within the CBRN defense arena by working effectively with other federal agencies, state and local governments, Congress, and the private sector. This document provides a synopsis of our goals for Fiscal Years 2006-2007 (FY06-07). Additionally, the DoD Annual Report to Congress on the Chemical and Biological Defense Program provides a more detailed overview of the CBDP, as well as a more detailed examination of the Program's objectives for the future.

Book Description
This Annual Report of the Department of Defense (DoD) Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Defense Program, or CBRNDP, provides information in response to several reporting requirements. First, this report is provided in accordance with 50 USC 1523. (The complete reporting requirement is detailed at annex K.) This report is intended to assess: (1) the overall readiness of the Armed Forces to fight in a chemical-biological warfare environment and steps taken and planned to be taken to improve such readiness; and, (2) requirements for the chemical and biological warfare defense program, including requirements for training, detection, and protective equipment, for medical prophylaxis, and for treatment of casualties resulting from use of chemical and biological weapons. This report supplements the DoD Chemical and Biological Defense Program FY05 President's budget, February 2004, which has been submitted to Congress.

Book Description
In 1993, Congress passed Public Law 103-160 Section 1703 which created a Joint Service Chemical and Biological Defense Program (CBDP). The mission of the CBDP is to provide world-class chemical and biological defense capabilities to allow the military forces of the United States to survive and successfully complete their operational missions - from peacetime contingency missions through two nearly simultaneous major theater wars across the entire spectrum of conflict-in battlespace environments contaminated with chemical or biological warfare agents. Under the oversight of a single office within the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Deputy Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Chemical and Biological Defense, the individual Services, working within the framework of a Joint Service Agreement, have planned and supported a robust, coordinated program. This overview document provides highlights of our major efforts within the program, providing a summary of FY00 accomplishments and goals for FY01 and beyond. A separate, more detailed DoD Annual Report to Congress on the Chemical and Biological Defense Program is provided to the Congress. The CBDP focuses on the development and acquisition of an integrated system-of-systems to defend against the various chemical and biological warfare threats facing U.S. forces. No single technology or approach is likely to be effective. Consequently detection and identification of CB threats, individual and collective protection, decontamination and medical countermeasures play important, complementary roles in countering chemical and biological threats. Since Operation Desert Storm, the CBDP effectively developed and fielded new or improved capabilities that address shortfalls identified during that war.
