An IED that is rendered safe has been separated into its subcomponents, analyzed by the bomb technician to ensure the threat from the IED has been mitigated, and disassembled to the point that it is no longer an IED. Hazardous material (HAZMAT) may be rendered safe by a disposal operation, which may include destruction or burning. There are many individual tasks within a bomb technician’s chosen course of action but they will differ significantly for each IED encountered or with each disposal operation conducted. Therefore, Render Safe Procedures (RSP) is a term specific to the bomb community and does not refer to any specific delineated procedural step. An appropriate RSP is one in which the bomb technician accomplishes the above actions in a way that results in a safe and successful execution. The goal of this course is to recertify PSBTs and SABTs by testing their proficiency on basic bomb technician knowledge and skills. During the course, we will also furnish
...vival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE) level C+, and helicopter overwater survival training (Dunker School) just to name a few of the school these soldiers will go through. They use special equipped helicopters that include AH-6, MH-6, MH-60’s, and MH-47 helicopters. Soldiers in this unit also have to maintain a SECERT security clearance.
Clay Dillow’s “To Catch a Bombmaker” was published by Popular Science in October 2015. This article educated the reader about the FBI’s Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center— a key aspect in the fight against terrorism. Dillow focused on ethos and logos to strengthen the validation of his claim concerning the importance of the TEDAC and was successful in persuading the reader to believe in its significance as well. He used expert quotes from FBI agents to give the article credibility; In addition, he presented statistical data in a clear and concise manner and gave many factual cases in which the TEDAC facilitated the government in their pursuit of terrorist and bomb makers. As proven by Dillow in “How to Catch a Bombmaker,” the Terrorist

The Technical Escort Unit (TEU) now provides the Department of Defense and other federal agencies to include the Secret Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation with an immediate response capability for chemical and biological warfare material. Its mission is to provide a global response for escorting, packaging, detection, rendering-safe, disposing, sampling, analytics, and remediation missions. This does not only include chemical weapons for which it was originally created, but now incorporates biological weapons, state sponsored laboratories, small independent laboratories and small non-weaponized radioactive materials. Most recently, they have been task organized to assist Brigade Combat Teams (BCT) as a force multiplier; the objective of this is to give the Battle Field Commander instant on the ground intelligence regarding Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) hazards within their Area of Operations (AO). With this new mission with the BCT, the TEU is becoming an expeditionary force.
In order to transform a local police agency into an intelligence-led organization, they go through several steps. The first, after strict training and funding, is to task and coordination processes. The second is to develop the intelligence products to be used in the operations. Next is to begin the use of standardized training for all the people involved. Since some local agencies cannot afford to train every employee in this method, they may designate one or two officers to be the ones working with the FBI and the other agencies in the Fusion Center.
Gaining a better understanding of what exactly my hospital is dealing with will determine the appropriate course of action. Did the explosion send poisonous chemicals into the air or are the patients simply having a reaction from smoke? As the incident commander on duty it is my responsibility to implement the three key strategies of disaster response; protect and preserve life, stabilize the disaster scene, and protect and preserve property. I will also begin implementation of the hospital’s emergency operation plan. Although I have not yet established the cause of illness in the patients, it is important to treat the incident as a potential mass disaster situation. I will proceed with implementing the “3 C’s” of incident leadership; coordination, communication, and cooperation (Reilly & Markenson, 2011). Effective management of this crisis weighs heavily on my ability to coordinate, communicate, and cooperate not only
Knowing the history of chemical weapons and their devastating effects will help explain the reasoning for the development of weapons inspection team and why their success is vital to world peace. This paper will provide a small amount of history on chemical weapons, discuss the history of the weapons inspection teams and explain how the members are selected and trained. Incidents of the use of weapons of mass destruction will be mentioned which explain the reason for the development of the weapons inspection teams.

The dangerous substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 (DSEAR) require risks from the indoor storage of dangerous substances to be controlled by elimination or by reducing the quantities of such substances in the workplace to a minimum and providing mitigation to protect against foreseeable incidents. Because the vapors of flammable liquids ignite and burn easily, strict storage requirements are essential.
The purpose of this CERT IS-317 course was to prepare individuals not part of the professional disasters relief field to help in the event of a disaster. These everyday individuals become part of a team that can aid in preparing their families, neighbors, and coworkers for the threat of a disaster. CERT program participants become familiar with disaster preparedness, fire safety, hazardous chemical awareness, disaster medical operations, terroristic threats, and search and rescue procedures. Following the completion of this course and along with hands-on class room course experience the CERT participants will be valuable aids to professionals during a disaster (CERT Training Manual, 2011).
The most important job of a first responder is to help the victims of the attack. Before first responders can help the victims, it needs to be determined if the scene is safe to enter. Part of scene safety is identifying if a WMD was used in the attack. A WMD can contain biological, chemical, or radiological agents (Federal Emergency Management Agency Manual. 2002) that can cause a wide range of effects. Unfortunately, first responders are often unequipped with the proper personal protective equipment that is required to safely work in an area where a WMD was used. Without the proper personal protective equipment, first responders can fall victim to the effects of the agent used. First responders are also at risk of being victims of a secondary device or attack directed at first responders and other citizens who gather that the scene
When the Improvised Explosive Devices (IED’s) in New York and New Jersey were discovered, it provided the detectives with information to add to their investigation. The wires, shrapnel, flip-phones, undetonated explosives, and burnt traces from the devices help build a picture on what the bomb used to look like along with the materials it consisted of. The FBI has their own extensive forensic science division and the latest lab equipment where they will look through the evidence. When a similar incident happens, the FBI will use their scientists from their Evidence Response Team (ERT) to link and retrieve the evidence from the scene as well as ensure the scene is safe. When thirty-one people were injured when a bomb exploded in New York City’s
My dream job is to some day work with The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Critical Incident Response Group's Investigations and Operations Support Sections (IOSS.) This branch of work is under the FBI’s Crisis Incident Response Group. The IOSS organization is divided into two sections, the National Center for Analysis of Violent Crime (NCAVC) and the Operations Support Branch (OSB.) The NCAVC has four Behavioral Analysis Units (BAU,) and the Violent Criminal Apprehension Program (ViCAP.) With the support gained from family and teachers I am positive working with the BAU is achievable.
For example, the state of Michigan will host one of the first three-cyber protection teams established by the National Guard. Cyber protection team members will begin their assignment with intensive specialized cyber training in order to qualify as Army Cyber Soldiers. These academically challenging cyber courses are planed for a four to twelve months in duration and are held in multiple locations, including beginning to intermediate levels of challenging instruction in the program. When fully trained, captain members will be responsible for conducting defensive cyberspace operations, readiness inspections, and vulnerability assessments, as well as a variety of other cyber roles and
