Currently fall into 1 of 4 joint CBRN functional concept
categories: CBRN shape, CBRN sense, CBRN shield and

pact of CBRN effects. This concept provides the foundation
for emerging support to the MAGTF commander regard-
ing the eight military mission areas outlines in the Na-
MAGTF CBRN Operations and capabilities
tional Military Strategy for Combating Weapons of Mass

CBRN operations in support of combating WMD and the
protection warfighting function by employing task-orga-
nized CBRN forces and specialized CBRN elements or
teams, task-organized to an appropriate CBRN or other C2
headquarters.
Two distinct categories to support the MAGTF with CBRN

MAGTF CBRN support units fall into two broad categories:
Operational and technical. Operational CBRN units include
CBRN platoons- at the MSC level (division), Marine air-
craft wing, and Marine logistics group- and teams within
The MAGTF CBRN Organization maintains
the MSC that support the Marine expeditionary. Technical
CBRN units include technical escort support coupled with
the MAGTF consequence set.
The MAGTF CBRN staffs support the USMC modular force
design by incorporating a combination of CBRN ofl-
, cers and CBRN specialists at the
