“The Chemical and Biological Defense Program (CBDP) provides support and world-class capabilities enabling the U.S. Armed Forces to fight and win decisively in chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) environments. Since Congress established the CBDP in 1994, the Program has been the essential component of the Department of Defense’s (DoD) efforts to integrate chemical and biological (CB) defense activities. The CBDP supports a comprehensive strategic framework to improve CB defense preparedness, reduce risk to the Warfighter, and field the appropriate mix of capabilities for sustained military operations with minimum degradation of combat effectiveness attributed to current CBRN hazards and emerging threats.”
