Schools and Airborne Units

Hi everyone, I’m the lone 74d In my unit and I am in need of some advice/guidance. I am in an airborne unit and unless I shatter my femur or become a towed jumper I will remain in one for as long as I can, with that being said I know as much as everyone else (especially being on my own) I am not gonna be doing much cbrn stuff other than the occasional ranges. What schools regarding the MOS should I go to that will help me with getting into cool guy units such as SFG’s CRD teams ? I know there’s the advanced Cbrne enabler but that’s all I know of. Any advice is appreciative, thank you.

Does the CDTF still do live agent training?

I was googling and came across this article that seems to suggest that the facility has been changed into a scenario based training facility. Did they eliminate the live agent training portion or have they just changed how that portion works? Article seems ambiguous.

Textbook for medics?

Is there a good textbook suitable for nurses, doctors, or medics on CBRNE, similar to the PHTLS or AMLS books, but focused on chemical warfare agents and their treatment? Ideally, it should be relatively easy to read for non-chemists who need a refresher on various aspects, with a primary focus on emergency treatment and similar topics.

CBRN training for civilians

Hey all I'm in the emergency management field and I'm looking to start building a specialization in CBRN. I'm trying to find training courses that are available to civilians. FEMA's Center for Disaster Preparedness has a few listed below, but any ideas you all have on other resources and training I can look into would be really helpful.

  1. REP radiological accident assessment concepts course
  2. Hands-on training for CBRNE Incidents
  3. Intermediate hands-on training for CBRNE incidents
  4. Emergency response to domestic biological incidents
  5. REP radiological emergency response operations

Also are you aware of any military CBRN courses that allow civilians to take them? I've heard this is sometimes allowed but you have to jump through a lot of hoops and be a federal civilian employee.

Edit: I'm in the USA

CBRN Cage

I am currently sharing my CBRN Cage with our commo ncoic. This concerns me because more than one person has access to my CBRN equipment now (mainly pro masks). Is there a regulation that covers this??

ALC

Does anyone have a syllabus or schedule from their time at ALC? I've been out of the CBRN field for a whiiile, and while I'm confident I can pass, I'm not altogether comfortable with not having a strong idea of what we're doing, how RAD course and test goes, that sort of thing. Leaving for over a month without a firm idea is a bummer.

Is CBRN Officer Really That Bad?

Seen everyone in the Army subreddit shitting on it. Originally wanted to go into it out of ROTC, but if it sucks as bad as everyone says then maybe not?

Heading to first Duty Station

Heading to 3rd Grp straight out of AIT and Airborne. Not going to lie, I info dumped a lot of the nuances of CBRN like our Warrant officer said we would, but still have my book series of slides/book.

Just looking for any advice when I get there and what I may be doing. I'm guessing probably just cage stuff, but I have no idea.

Question about AIT

I got out of the Marines, did a couple of years in the National Guard (1 deployment to Syria in that time) and I’m going Active Army soon, going to CBRN AIT in May.

My question is, as a prior service going through AIT what can I expect my experience to be like? Really hoping to not be treated like a child, but I know I’ll have to bite the bullet if that’s what I can expect.

Also, any study tips or advice is greatly appreciated.

Abandoned WWII Chemical Munitions

The final entry in the Organizational History Reports from the US 760th Chemical Depot Company (Aviation) before they departed in June 1945 (without their munitions) includes these statements:

  • 300 CK M78 Bombs moved to a new location.
  • 200 CK M78 bombs destroyed.

Earlier entries identify the M78 CK bombs as a major concern for the Company since some had polymerized and exploded without warning in their stacks. The 760th developed an SOP for dealing with suspect lots of M78 bombs by firing armor-piercing shells from 75 yards away and moving further upwind until the cloud dispersed. There are also reports that Australian soldiers in the 1970s vented some non-persistent bombs in the area with shaped charges, although those might have been phosgene, not cyanogen chloride. How dangerous would it be if someone found a pile of these bombs today?

Trying to run a dysfunctional CBRN department on my first deployment.

Nobody in my BN will help me. I know 74Ds aren’t called upon very often and it can make us turn into shitbags, but the least I’m wanting to do is get us squared away on paper. I’m not at a rank to be harassing the LT’s, and I already know from experience my BN CBRN NCOIC won’t help. I have our SOP but it doesn’t say how often we’re supposed to be conducting training. I’ve made slides for the quarterly training in garrison, but I don’t know if they’re applicable out here. Does anyone have experience with this? I really just need some guidance and somebody to ask questions to.

Unit CBRNE rep

Unit is looking for a new CBRNE representative, should I take it? I have no prior experience, no qualifications.

Is there any ADSO or retention requirement for this?

Where to find servicing requirements?

I'm trying to find the annual, quarterly, monthly, etc. services that need to be performed on the M50 masks. I've looked all through the manual. Chapter 4 is where it should be right? I don't see any clear listings. Am I looking in the wrong place?

CDE report due soon!

I'm a PFC running the CBRNE department for my battery. The guy who was supposed to be "teaching" me how to do this stuff didn't teach me anything, and we didn't go over it in AIT. It's due in a few days and I'm so lost. I've been reaching out to all the other CBRNE representatives in my battalion trying to get them to help me but they never answer their phones. I need to get the MTOE from FMS Web right? Is there anybody who can walk me through this?
