The members of the Chemical, Biological Radiological and Nuclear Company (CBRN Coy) in cooperation with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) from the USA carried out the last cycle of training with the new equipment, which was donated by this agency, from April 15 to 26. The participants of the training, conducted in two stages, practiced the procedures of CBRN tactics, that is, the skills of reconnaissance, sampling, analysis, decontamination, decision-making and maintenance of the equipment.
The equipment that is received in the CBRN Coy consists of means for radiological, chemical and biological detection and identification, sampling equipment, decontamination equipment and specialist vehicles. The training began in the Chojlia barracks, ATA Krivolak and Boro Menkov barracks, but exercises were also carried out in the Czech Republic and Kosovo.
On the occasion of the training completion, in accordance with the cooperation program with DTRA, which began in 2018, a ceremony was held at which certificates were awarded to members of DTRA and the Vermont National Guard who made a significant contribution to raising the level of training and strengthening the capacities of this domain. With this program, the CBRN Coy became ready and competent for quick and efficient reaction in case of chemical, biological and radiological incidents.
