Preface
The potential for terrorist activities directed against United States (U.S.) citizens and interests worldwide has
become an increasingly serious threat. In an effort to counter this threat, the U.S. Government has implemented
a number of measures to enhance the Nation’s ability to deter, prevent, respond to, and recover from terrorist
activities within the United States, its territories, and possessions. The establishment of the Weapons of Mass
Destruction (WMD)–Civil Support Team (CST) program is one of the measures that has been implemented to
support the defense of the Homeland.
The WMD-CST program mission is to support civil authorities at domestic chemical, biological, radiological,
nuclear, and high-yield explosives (CBRNE) incident sites by identifying CBRNE agents and substances,
assessing current and projected consequences, advising on response measures, and assisting with appropriate
requests for additional support. This includes the intentional or unintentional release of CBRNE and natural or
man-made disasters in the United States that result, or could result, in the catastrophic loss of life or property.
As the “state governors’ 911 forces for WMD,” WMD-CSTs provide direct support to the front lines of local,
state, and federal emergency response organizations. WMD-CST operations are conducted primarily in civil
environments—urban, rural, industrial, or suburban areas—and in hot or cold weather. WMD-CSTs currently
operate within the United States, its territories, and possessions while in Title 10 U.S. Code (USC) or Title 32
USC status.
This manual serves as the foundation for WMD-CST doctrine and focuses on the organization, mission,
command and control (C2), and operations of the WMD-CST. It discusses employment concepts, planning
considerations, capabilities, and the type of support that WMD-CSTs can provide during a response. This
information should be shared with key decision makers at local, state, and federal levels.
Unless stated otherwise, masculine nouns or pronouns do not refer exclusively to men. The term state does not
refer exclusively to the 50 United States but also includes the District of Columbia and the territories of Guam,
Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The term adjutant general does not refer exclusively to the adjutants
general of the 50 states and territories, but also includes the commanding general (CG) of the District of
Columbia.
This publication applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United
States, and the United States Army Reserve, unless otherwise stated.
