“I don’t think you are doing that right…” Equipment selection and use in CBRN Operations: Part 3

Part 3 of the CBRNPro.net series on CBRN equipment selection and use examines Ion-Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) based Chemical Agent Detectors, how they work and sometimes don’t work the way you expect, as well as a few best practices for their use, along with some useful tips and techniques to help you get the most out of your IMS detector.

“I don’t think you are doing that right…” Equipment selection and use in CBRN Operations, Part 1

CBRN world is full of technology and various “magic boxes” designed to provide information. Many of these devices are in the hands of operators who lack an understanding of the technology they use. This series examines some of the critical pieces of equipment in CBRN operations and the ways operators can utilize their equipment properly to improve safety and increase operational awareness.

WWI Further Reading

One of our readers requested some additional source material about some of what I write about on CBRNPro.net. The Further Reading list posted today will appear in our forthcoming book on Belleau Wood and in our series of publications of Rexmond Cochrane's work, but I'm posting it here for a "living version" on our website to encourage others to learn more about the most critical part of CBRN history - the beginning. 

An Alternate Approach to CBRN Operations

CBRNPro.net offers an alternate approach to CBRN operations that differs from the traditional HazMat Operations based approach discussed last week. By focusing on the target, CBRN operators can obtain greater clarity and focus in their mission planning, equipment selection, and training. Oh, and we talk about the obvious. You know, stuff like big giant titanium balls from outer space, like the one in the picture.
