Description:
Participants will first receive an overview of emergency response to a weapon of mass destruction (WMD) event and be instructed in how to obtain and integrate WMD incident related intelligence into a tactical operations plan. Building upon this foundation, participants will be provided information allowing them to demonstrate the mission planning process; as the course progresses, they will use this knowledge to develop tactical warning orders, operations orders, and supplemental orders necessary to ensure a successful WMD incident response. A central component of this course is the practical exercises which weave through several of the instructional modules. This class is presented by the National Center for Biomedical Research and Training – Academy of Counter Terrorist Education at Louisiana State University.
