This publication establishes doctrinal multi-Service tactics, techniques, and procedures (MTTP) for health service support (HSS) units operating in a chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) and/or toxic industrial material (TIM) environment. It is the intent of this document to inform the combatant commanders (CCDRs), joint force commanders (JFCs), joint force medical commanders and medical planners, and component commanders and their staffs on the tools available to provide the best quality of HSS in a CBRN environment to enhance mission success. This publication bridges the gaps between Service and Joint HSS publications.This publication provides information for use by the component commanders and their staffs, command surgeons, medical planners, and individuals responsible for HSS in a CBRN environment. Commanders have the direct responsibility for protecting their forces within a CBRN environment. On future battlefields, failure to properly plan and execute CBRN defensive operations may result in significant casualties, disruption of operations, and even mission degradation. Further, the commander’s mission and execution plans must address the implications of HSS in a CBRN environment.The principal audience for this publication is the trained members of the Armed Forces Medical Services and other medically qualified personnel.This publication applies to the Active Army, Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and United States Army Reserve unless otherwise stated. The proponent and the preparing agency of this publication is the United States Army Medical Department Center and School, United States Army Health Readiness Center of Excellence. Read more
