How the US Navy Recovers Forces from Chemical, Biological & Radiological Hazards (CBR)

This video explores a RAND Corporation report on the US Navy's capabilities for recovering forces exposed to chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) hazards during amphibious operations. It reveals critical gaps in current procedures, including slow decontamination rates and inadequate decision-making processes. The analysis covers key recommendations such as establishing rapid recovery protocols and using temporary flight deck decontamination stations to boost throughput from 12 to 36 patients per hour. Learn about the challenges of decontaminating aircraft and landing craft, and how the Navy can enhance its force recovery capacity while minimizing operational disruptions. This is essential viewing for military strategists, defense analysts, and anyone interested in naval CBR defense.
