Counter-CBRN Roadmap
Counter-CBRN Roadmap
OPR: AMC/A3X
MAF Capability Statement
Provide worldwide capability to fully support combatant commanders’ wartime and peacetime
mobility operation in a chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threat environment.
Roadmap Assessment
“Potential adversaries may be deterred if they recognize that the costs of WMD
[Weapons of Mass Destruction] employment significantly outweigh the gains.
This is achieved by AMC’s clear determination to meet the CBRN challenge
and our demonstrated capability not only to survive a CBRN attack, but also to
continue critical missions in the face of chemical, biological , or radiological
contamination.”
Lieutenant General Chris Kelly, AMC/CV
AMC C-CBRN Concept of Operations, 2007
The proliferation of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons and the methods
to deliver them presents a serious security threat to US forces, allies, and interests around
the world. Even limited numbers of CBRN weapons could inflict heavy casualties on
military forces and civilian populations, degrade the effectiveness of US combat and combat
supports units, and counter US conventional military superiority. This Counter-CBRN
(C-CBRN) Roadmap addresses the CBRN threat, airlift of contaminated patients/remains, the road
ahead outlining what is needed, and milestones to ensure velocity toward those requirements.
