Description

Chemical, Biological, Radiological, And Nuclear Defense (CBRND) Officers are technical advisers for operational and tactical functions associated with CBRN protection, CBRN response, and CBRN support to countering weapons of mass destruction (CWMD). They support an organization’s planning process by providing CBRN subject matter expertise for plans, annexes, orders, and standard operating procedures. CBRND Officers serving in protection billets develop plans to support their commander’s schemes of maneuver under CBRN conditions. CBRND Officers serving in response billets plan and lead CBRND support to the MAGTF and joint forces. CBRND Officers serving in CBRN analysis billets apply subject matter expertise to information and intelligence to develop a threat picture to guide the commanders planning and decision-making cycles. CBRND Officers in senior-level management billets (MEU, MEF, MARFOR) develop plans and advise commanders and staffs on requirements related to activates and requirements to support combatant commander’s CWMD lines of effort and objectives within the supported area of operations. Marines entering this OccFld will initially receive a basic MOS 5701, Basic Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense Officer. Depending on the level of command, CBRND Officers will fill billets as CBRND/CWMD Plans Officer, CBRND Officers, CBRN Protection Officers, or CBRN Response Officers.
