3.3 Training Events and Exercises

3.3.1 Descriptions

Name Description

CCMD-Sponsored Exercises in Support of Strategic National-Level Objectives

(e.g. CJCS Ellipse Exercises)

These exercises consist of TTXs, CPXs, and FTXs designed to enhance the readiness, capability, and interoperability of the CCMD and its TSOCs to conduct joint and combined special operations in support of contingency operations. NE- CO / SOFTSB provides exercise planning, site support, training aids, realistic / threat-based hazards, associated planning, and backside support for these CCMD-sponsored CWMD collective training events and exercises.

Foreign, Service, and Agency Training and Exercises

Foreign, Service, and Agency exercises involve events led by Foreign Nation Partners, DoD military forces, and / or U.S. interagency partners.

• Combined U.S. and coalition partner training events and exercises (e.g.

DESERT ICE, BRONZE RAM, NATO SOF School, etc.)

• Combined U.S. and coalition partner training events and exercises that involve information exchange events, focused on CWMD tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs)

SOF CWMD Advanced Course

The course provides medical professionals with up to 20 hours of continuing education units in Advanced HAZMAT Life Support through the University of Arizona. The curriculum is continually updated with current TTPs in decontamination and casualty treatment, which provides SOF personnel with information needed to develop new or strengthen their current SOPs for operating in a CBRN environment. All instruction focuses on enhancing SOF capabilities to conduct self-recovery during a planned or unplanned CBRN event with extended evacuation times. Throughout the course, students are introduced to the complexities and details of the CWMD mission focusing on small and independent operations absent from the larger DoD force. The course instructs students on clinical and planning strategies for multi-system trauma patients in a prolonged field care setting where students will be trained to recognize the signs and symptoms of CBRN agent exposure, treatment of contaminated soldiers, and decontamination. All techniques and procedures taught in this course are based on doctrine, extensive research, evidence-based medical and scientific studies, which have been tried and proven in various tactical and non-tactical situations by units who have the designated CWMD mission profiles. Much of these were used, in part, to create the Joint Trauma System (JTS) Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) for the Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Injury Part I: Initial Response to CBRN agent (CPG ID: 69) and the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Injury Response Part 2: Medical Management of Chemical Agent Exposure (CPG ID: 69).

Principles of Decontamination Course

The course provides non-medical personnel with the understanding of the skills required to assist medical personnel with a multi-system trauma patient from point of injury (POI) through the decontamination process to an evacuation platform. Attendees will gain an understanding of the need for planning while operating in a CBRN environment as well as the gear intensive nature of this unique mission set. All techniques and procedures taught in this course are based on doctrine, extensive research, evidence-based medical and scientific studies, which have been tried and proven in various tactical and non-tactical situations by units who have the designated CWMD mission profiles. These were used, in part, to create the Joint Trauma System (JTS) Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) for the Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Injury Part I:

Initial Response to CBRN Agents (CPG ID: 69) and the Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Injury Response Part 2: Medical Management of Chemical Agent Exposure (CPG ID: 69).

USSOCOM Gold Program Training focuses on USSOCOM-specific CMWD training and exercise support (e.g. Live Agent Training, etc.)

Exercise Support Packages (ESP)

These events are scaled to meet the minimum required planning and execution events within an established JELC. Those minimum events include 1) a single site survey to ensure that NE-CO / SOFTSB has an accurate understanding of expectations, limitations, and / or recommendations for execution; and 2) the execution of that event. All other coordination and planning event participation will be conducted virtually (e.g. video teleconference, telephone conference, email, etc.).

3.3.2 Event Types

The supported training event / exercise described in Section 3.3.1 Training Event and Exercise Definitions consist of a sequence of events, taken from the below list. These events are the primary vehicle for NE-CO to aid in the strengthening of supported organizations’ and partner forces’ mission readiness and enhancement of their CBRNE/CWMD plans, policies and procedures. These training events and exercises include some or all of the following event types:
