Within your respective units; do you feel a commander puts any effort into training CBRN/NBC CATS? If so how is it brought into his METL and how do NCO's train it? If not when is the last time you've checked out your mask and serviced it?

Most CBRN training is:
a) a years worth of training crammed into a morning.
b) minimal participation.
c) hand-jammed.
d) CS Chamber, and nothing else.
I understand that NBC (No Body Cares), or now CBRN (Can't Be Really Necessary) gets ignored because in the theatre we are in today, it is not a relevant threat. However, with the increase of ISIS and the rumors of their using Chemical Weapons, the fact that not 1 year ago we were sending ships to the Mediterranean to neutralize the Syrian chemical weapon cache... the threat is real, and the CBRN training should be taken as seriously as anything else.

My unit did the MINIMAL amounts of CBRN training. We only did it when the task was forced downwards on us from higher. I am not suggesting that this is right...just answering the question. Most units I got to know in the Army were this way.
