Chemical Weapons - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Historically,
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/
chemical hazards of military concern were limited to a small
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
group of uniquely manufactured chemical weapons referred to as
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
chemical warfare agents. However, the types of chemical
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
hazards of concern to the military have expanded tremendously
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
over the last decade and now include a large number of toxic
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
industrial chemicals. Chemical hazards are any chemicals
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
(manufactured, used, transported, or stored) that can cause
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
death or other harm through the toxic properties of those
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
materials. This includes chemical weapons (prohibited under the
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
Chemical Weapons Convention), chemical agents, and toxic
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
industrial chemicals.
|/ |/
Biological Weapons - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Biological hazards
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
pose unique challenges because they are relatively easy to
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
produce and difficult to detect; their production facilities have no
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
unique signature. A biological hazard is an organism or
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
substance derived from an organism that poses a threat to
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
human or animal health. This can include medical waste or
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
samples of a microorganism, virus, or toxin (from a biological
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
source) that can impact human health
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
Radiological Weapons - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Radiological
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/
hazards include any electromagnetic or particulate radiation that
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
, |/ is capable of producing ions to cause damage, injury, or
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
|/ destruction.
Radiological hazards also include toxic industrial radiologicals |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
(radiological material that is manufactured, used, transported, or
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
stored for industrial, medical, or commercial processes).
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
Active Defense - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔CBRN active defense
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
comprises measures taken to defeat an attack with CBRN
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
weapons by employing actions to divert, neutralize, or destroy
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
those weapons or their means of delivery while en route to their
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
target. CBRN active defense operations to defend against
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
conventionally and unconventionally delivered WMD include, but
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
are not limited to—
|/ |/ |/ |/
Missile defense (ballistic and cruise).
|/ |/ |/ |/
Air defense.
|/
Special operations. |/
Security operations. |/
Passive Defense - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔CBRN passive defense
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
includes measures taken to minimize or negate the vulnerability
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
to, and effects of, CBRN attacks. This mission area focuses on
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
maintaining the joint force's ability to continue military
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
operations in a CBRN environment. CBRN passive defense
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
measures enable air and ground military operations to be
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
sustained in a CBRN environment. Success depends on the
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
effective integration of equipment; CBRN training; and proven
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
tactics, techniques, and procedures
