1.2. BACKGROUND

As the lead federal agency in the maritime domain, the Office of Specialized Capability CG-721 is responsible for strategy, policy, and doctrine development for Coast Guard operations globally in or near a CBRN/WMD contaminated environment and aligns with all Presidential Homeland

Security Directives and the Department of Homeland Security Strategic Plans. The Coast Guard collaborates with DOW, Federal, State and Local agencies to defend against Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN), Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), Toxic

Industrial Chemical (TIC), and Toxic Industrial Material (TIM) threats to the United States. In order to do so, the Office of Specialized Capability CG-721 identifies gaps, operational requirements, quantifies detection systems and protective equipment needs, evaluates potential solutions, develops policy, assesses readiness, and determines the balanced measures necessary to protect USCG personnel, the American public from all hazards associated with a

CBRN/WMD attacks, whether accidental, natural or man-made.

The CWMD program must ensure the CG is prepared for a synchronized U.S. government response to threats against the United States and its allies, its Marine Transportation System, and its interests in the maritime domain. To achieve this, the Coast Guard requires unique subject matter expertise to evaluate CBRN readiness across the Trident of Forces, identify and mitigate gaps, develop policy, TTPs and provide capabilities that meet the ever-increasing global threat.

SMEs will support the CWMD Program Manager and units listed below in all aspects related to the CG’s CBRN programs.

Forces include:

• General Forces represent the foundational layer of the Coast Guard's tiered response.

They are trained to provide initial response to a CBRN incident, with responsibilities including establishing security perimeters, conducting preliminary site assessments, and providing support to national response assets until specialized teams arrive on scene.

• Cutter Forces are equipped to operate in CBRN environments, providing crucial capabilities for detection, monitoring, and decontamination. As sea-based platforms, they ensure the continuity of maritime operations and provide essential support to specialized response teams during and after a CBRN event.
