Line between CBRN, Medical and environmental will blur
The potential CBRN threat has changed from the massed threat during the Cold War period, to a less well defined threat in which the use of CBRN materials is more likely, and deterrent strategies will have a less certain effect. This necessitates a matching shift in defensive posture.
Timely and enhanced intelligence capability will be key to enabling effective proactive, rather than reactive defence strategy.
Our future forces will need to be increasingly mobile and flexible, and able to maintain freedom of action to undertake a wide range of operations despite any CBRN threats or use. This requires a parallel change across all areas of CBRN defence including, training and equipment.
Our future forces will need to have a greater appreciation of growing CBRN asymmetric threat and be suitably equipped and trained to defend against that threat.
CBRN defence needs to be an integral part of the military capability rather than a specialist task. Training and education is needed to facilitate this integration and for success future CBRN technology needs to be integrated.
CBRN defence will need to support the UK civil authorities both to protect home based military assets and supporting facilities, and to provide MACA.
We need to adopt a wide definition of ‘capability’ to include moral and conceptual components as well as the physical. In particular, the aim needs to be the mitigation of the psychological impact of CBRN.
Our defensive capability is required to encompass not only direct CBRN warfare threats but also Environmental and Industrial Hazards (EIH) which encapsulate Toxic Industrial Materials (TIMs) and general environmental hazards such as endemic infectious hazards. The lines between CBRN, medical issues and environmental health will blur.

This slide shows where CBW Policy sits in the hierarchy. We report to the Policy Director - 3 star.
Notice on the right hand side DJW and the Commitments area management chain.
As the arrows on the slide show there is very close contact between Policy and Commitments staff. At 3 star there is a joint Management Plan.
So that’s where we sit in the MoD, how about within CBW matters as a whole.
