Book Description
Projection of an expeditionary force to an austere environment requires rapid force generation to secure bases of operation and the ability to sustain that force with logistical support. Ports of debarkation during initial entry can be centers of gravity and high value targets for adversaries because they are vital for generating, enhancing, and sustaining combat power. A possible course of action to deny access or degrade the building of a sustained force is through the employment of persistent CBRN contamination seaports of debarkation (SPOD), aerial ports of debarkation (APOD), marshalling areas, main supply routes, or supply depots. In order to maintain force momentum, rapid mitigation of the effects and restoration of logistics capabilities to full operational capacity is essential. This objective is achieved through consequence management and fixed-site decontamination operations. The effectiveness of CBRN consequence management and fixed-site decontamination executed in the Joint Security Area can be improved through the study of joint and multi-service doctrine, increased participation in joint CBRN consequence management training exercises, and timely fielding of joint fixed-site decontamination equipment.
