Course Description
The CBRN Challenge™ is usually a 3- to 5-day program that combines in-class learning, hands-on activities, coaching and scenario-based training to enhance emergency responders’ capabilities for CBRN incident management and response to emerging CBRN threats. The culmination of the CBRN Challenge™ takes place during a fun, high intensity team-based competition where CBRN teams face off in different scenario-based exercises. The teams are scored based on how well or quickly they perform the stated objectives of the exercise. The CBRN Challenge™ is designed not only to validate proficiency but to teach innovative tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) and to synchronize incident objectives.
