Me and my team worked on a unofficial CBRN estimate on North Korea as a learning exercise recently. I don't know how many others have really looked at what the potential capabilities are, but I found it to be eye opening.

Obviously I can only discuss freely available open source information here. I am curious about other 74D thoughts (or anyone) on things in the world right now.

I wanted to add this Picture. On the back it is dated 1939 when Germany said they would not use Chemical Warfare. The Original was donated to Ft. Leonard Wood Mo.

You need the support of higher, if you really want an effective CBRN Defense plan and effective training plan for your unit. As a Guard/Reserve CBRN NCOIC at the Company and Battalion Level, I found myself at the unit inspecting PM and CBRN equipment during non- drill weekends. I enjoyed being a CBRN NCOIC, but when I became the BN CBRN NCOIC, things got harder. I had a entire BN to take care of, instead of just a Company. Luckily I had the support of the BN CDR and Operations OIC, but they also have their directives they have to meet from BDE.

No, I once had a Major tell me that CBRN is a waste of money and training, most commanders don't even know how to use the CBRN NCO or understand the MOS. It is very valuable to the Unit if properly used. Remember the enemy always strikes where you least expect and the Communist Doctrine advocates the use of chemical warfare, my training was for 74DL4
