Where can I find CBRN-CE HPAC training opportunities?

Anyone here working assigned to an HPAC CBRN-CE detachment? I recently transferred here and I'm looking for training opportunities for my detachment away from home station but not sure where to turn. Should I be contacting FEMA, DHS, a state CST? Seems this detachment is popular for details or running weapon ranges. Any location is fine, we'd just like to get our hands wet with some training supporting civil agencies. Thanks

I'd hit up someone at USACBRNS. They'd might be able to help directly but if not, someone in their network should. My reserve unit did training at the Boston Fire HAZMAT facility by basically reaching out to someone we knew there.

You can reach out to an Air Force Emergency Manager. They must complete a certain amount of hands on hours to stay certified along with online training. During deployments I kept my people trained with the help of the AFEMs.

If you go to the DNWS website, it has a schedule of when HPAC is. Recently it has been virtual. Find me on MS Teams or global and I can assist.
