This manual describes the basic facts about chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) warfare; how the enemy may use these agents; and measures which may be taken to protect personnel. The manual is published for the information and guidance of all Air Force personnel. Chemical, biological, radiological/nuclear defense is protective measures taken in situations in which chemical, biological, radiological/nuclear warfare (including terrorism) hazards may be present. CBR defense consists of CBR passive protection, contamination avoidance and CBR mitigation. A CBR incident differs from a hazardous material incident in both scope (i.e., CBR can be a mass casualty situation) and intent. CBR incidents are responded to under the assumption that they are intentional and malicious; evidence preservation and perpetrator apprehension are of greater concern than with HAZMAT incidents. Condition: Good.
