JTF command structure. This team can accomplish the task, but there are several factors that
complicate their ability to do so.
Projected Near/Mid-Term Capability and Deficiency
No other capabilities are currently projected for the near/mid term. Limited capability
improvements are forecast for the near/mid term except for DOTMLPF, which should improve
in all deficient areas as a result of initiatives that use data resulting from focused
experimentation.
Projected Far-Term Capability and Deficiency
DOTMLPF should improve in all deficient areas as a result of initiatives that use data resulting
from focused experimentation. JTTPs, training and exercises, and education will all improve
leading to a far-term assessment of “green.”

DOTLPF Assessment Summary
This section addresses the deficiencies and suggests potential non-materiel solutions. If there are
no non-materiel solutions, or they are only partial solutions, the remaining non-materiel need is
then stated. Materiel needs are assessed in the IMA section.
1.
Deficiency: Restoration exercises have been limited.
Non-Materiel Solutions: Doctrine: Develop TTPs on how to develop exercises/experiments
for a JTF on assessing component command contamination reports for operational
degradation implications and restoration requirements. Training: Develop exercises/
experiments for a JTF on assessing component command contamination reports for
operational degradation implications and restoration requirements. Incorporate lessons
learned from RESTOPS ACTD into future exercises.
2.
Deficiency: No TTPs have been developed.
Non-Materiel Solutions: Doctrine: Develop TTPs on how to assess component command
contamination reports for operational degradation implications and restoration requirements.
3.
Deficiency: There is no leader training/education for JTF restoration of operations.
Non-Materiel Solutions: Training: Develop training for staffs on assessing component
command contamination reports for operational degradation implications and restoration
requirements. Leadership: Develop leader training for staffs on assessing component
command contamination reports for operational degradation implications and restoration
requirements.
4.
Deficiency: There are no automated tools to assist the process.
Non-Materiel Solutions: Organization: Prototype SJTF CBRN centers must be provided
with adequate CBRN center staffing to ensure that manual coordination of operational
implications of restoration operations with J3 can be performed. Service component CBRN
centers must be assessed to see if they can adequately perform the function of providing
manual restoration requirement reports to the JTF CBRN center. CBRN staffing/training is
not standard across the Services.
5.
Deficiency: No familiarization training has been developed.
Non-Materiel Solutions: Training: Develop familiarization training to assist staffs in this
process.

Capability and Deficiency Assessment Summary
Table 16.3-1 discusses the only capability that currently exists to perform the task to the
designated standards. No other capability is projected that will accomplish this task.
Current Capability and Deficiency
The current assessment is “yellow.” Any JTF HQ has a team of operational planners and
information command and control specialists. This team of experts forms the backbone of the
JTF command structure. The standing joint force headquarters (SJFHQ) is not designed as a
SJTF, but rather as a standing element that focuses on a combatant commander’s operational
trouble spots. There are several limitations that cause problems for this task.
Projected Near/Mid-Term Capability and Deficiency
No other capabilities are currently projected for the near/mid term. Limited capability
improvements are forecast for the near/mid term except for DOTMLPF, which should improve
in all deficient areas as a result of initiatives that use data resulting from focused
experimentation.
Projected Far-Term Capability and Deficiency
DOTMLPF should improve in all deficient areas as a result of initiatives that use data resulting
from focused experimentation. JTTPs, training and exercises, and education will all improve
leading to a far-term assessment of “green.”

Current Capability and Deficiency
The current assessment is “yellow.” Any JTF HQ has a team of operational planners and
information command and control specialists. This team of experts forms the backbone of the
JTF command structure. They can perform the task, but several factors will degrade their
performance.
Projected Near/Mid-Term Capability and Deficiency
No other capabilities are currently projected for the near/mid term. Limited capability
improvements are forecast for the near/mid term except for DOTMLPF, which should improve
in all deficient areas as a result of initiatives that use data resulting from focused
experimentation.
Projected Far-Term Capability and Deficiency
DOTMLPF should improve in all deficient areas as a result of initiatives that use data resulting
from focused experimentation. JTTPs, training and exercises, and education will all improve
leading to a far-term assessment of “green.”

Definition
To establish and deploy mobile assessment teams, staffed with experts in both CBRND and
operational considerations, who can make a complete assessment of contaminated units,
equipment, facilities, or activities and determine their disposition. When critical units or facilities
become contaminated, there will be much confusion and likely an inability of the unit to provide
an objective assessment of its status or requirements. The JTF commander may provide mobile
assessment teams to assess and determine residual capability of and recommend disposition of
contaminated units, equipment, facilities, or activities. The team will provide its assessments and
recommendations to the JTF commander.

Current Capability and Deficiency
The current assessment is “yellow.” Any JTF HQ has a team of operational planners and
information command and control specialists. This team of experts forms the backbone of the
JTF command structure. A CBRN mobile assessment team could be assembled on an ad hoc
basis at any time from in-house JTF resources. Prototype SJTF staffs must be assessed to
determine their ability to provide mobile assessment teams. This capability has never been
attempted or tested. There is no doctrine that covers this capability. This capability could also be
developed in any new CBRND units that are currently being stood up.
Projected Near/Mid-Term Capability and Deficiency
No other capabilities are currently projected for the near/mid term. No capability improvements
are forecast for the near/mid term.
Projected Far-Term Capability and Deficiency
No other capabilities are currently projected for the far-term. Limited capability improvements
are forecast for the near/mid term. DOTMLPF could be developed (including checklists) to
improve many deficient areas as a result of initiatives that use data resulting from focused
experimentation if a decision is made to resource teams.

This section addresses the deficiencies and suggests potential non-materiel solutions. If there are
no non-materiel solutions, or they are only partial solutions, the remaining non-materiel need is
then stated. Materiel needs are assessed in the IMA section.
1.
Deficiency: Assessment teams are not designated, staffed, trained, or equipped at this time.
Non-Materiel Solutions: Doctrine: Development must begin on concepts and doctrine to
guide mobile assessment teams to help component commanders assess and determine
residual capability of and recommend disposition of contaminated units, equipment,
facilities, or activities. Organization: Prototype SJFHQ staffs must be assessed to determine
their ability to provide mobile assessment teams. Prototype SJFHQ CBRN centers must be
provided with adequate CBRN center staffing to ensure that support can be provided for
mobile assessment teams. Training: As concepts and doctrine are developed, they must be
tested and refined through experimentation and ultimately in full-scale exercises. Leadership:
JPME must include leader-learning areas for restoration operation considerations at the OP
level. Personnel: Personnel evaluating and mentoring CBRN elements of JTF exercises must
possess adequate joint and CBRN credentials. Facilities: As plans are made for the
establishment of the JNTC, TTPs for testing a JTF HQ’s ability to field and deploy mobile
assessment teams to help component commanders assess and determine residual capability of
and recommend disposition of contaminated units, equipment, facilities, or activities must be
integrated into training center infrastructure plans.
2.
Deficiency: Until teams are designated, staffed, trained, and equipped they will be unable to
respond to the incident site within 1 hour.
Non-Materiel Solutions: None.
3.
Deficiency: The coordination process with host nations must be developed and refined
through exercises.
Non-Materiel Solutions: Doctrine: Develop TTPs and doctrine on all aspects of
coordinating with host nations during large-scale CBRN incidents. Training: Develop
exercises/experiments to be conducted on all aspects of coordinating with host nations during
large-scale CBRN incidents.
4.
Deficiency: Establishing liaison with country team and other U.S. government agencies,
NGOs, international organizations, and coalition forces has never been done by a mobile
assessment team.
Non-Materiel Solutions: Doctrine: Develop TTPs and doctrine on all aspects of establishing
liaison with country team and other U.S. government agencies, NGOs, international
organizations, and coalition forces.
5.
Deficiency: CBRN technical expertise must be part of the team and available to the affected
joint force commander.

of the capabilities required of them in this task. Recommend staffing/organizational changes,
enhancements, or alternative fixes as required.
6. Deficiency: Operational- and tactical-level exercises have not provided adequate
information.
Non-Materiel Solutions: Leadership: This task needs to exercise at both the operational and
tactical levels because response time and adequacy of casualty management, triage,
treatment, decontamination, movement/quarantine, tracking and follow-up has not been
adequately determined for all possible scenarios. Operational forces must be assessed to see
not only whether they are trained and equipped not only to “survive” in a CBRN
environment, but also whether they can accomplish typical assigned missions.
7. Deficiency: No DOTMLPF is in place at this time.
Non-Materiel Solutions: Doctrine: All pertinent DOTMLPF needs to be developed in

16.11.1
Functional Area Analysis
16.11.1.1
Definition
To integrate and deconflict restoration operations with strategic mobility activities required to
deploy/redeploy forces and sustain the warfighter. Due to the dubiety of current decontamination
capabilities and the absence of internationally accepted decontamination standards, contaminated
lift assets may be removed from the strategic lift flow. Therefore, to the maximum extent
possible, uncontaminated lift assets will not be used at contaminated ports of embarkation/ports
of debarkation (POEs/PODs). Contamination avoidance by lift assets requires the designation of
alternate POEs/PODs, identification of transload sites for transload of cargo and passengers from
uncontaminated to contaminated lift platforms for movement into contaminated PODs, thorough
decontamination of lift platforms, and redeploying forces to internationally recognized
decontamination standards (once obtained). Aeromedical evacuation (AE) planning should
include TTPs to enable the movement of contagious/contaminated patients.

Capability and Deficiency Assessment Summary
Table 16.11-1 discusses the only capability that currently exists to perform the task to the
designated standards. No other capability is projected that will accomplish this task.
Current Capability and Deficiency
The current assessment is “yellow.” Any JTF HQ staff has a team of operational planners and
command and control specialists, and most have CBRN subject matter experts. This team of
experts has the skill to integrate restoration operations with strategic deployment, sustainment,
and redeployment (including noncombatant evacuation operations [NEO] and AE) operations,
but there are some deficiencies that negatively impact on their ability to do so.
Projected Near/Mid-Term Capability and Deficiency
No other capabilities are currently projected for the near/mid term. Limited capability
improvements are forecast for the near/mid term except for DOTMLPF, which should improve
in all deficient areas as a result of initiatives that use data resulting from focused
experimentation.
Projected Far-Term Capability and Deficiency
DOTMLPF should improve in all deficient areas as a result of initiatives that use data resulting
from focused experimentation. Joint exercises/ experiments will be conducted that can provide

16.14.1.1
Definition
To execute theater CBRN elimination operations. A joint force commander may be directed by
the combatant commander to conduct military operations for the explicit purpose of eliminating
the CBRN weapons or capabilities held by an adversary. Specifically, U.S. military operations
across the range of military operations also may entail a requirement to eliminate, or support the
elimination of, CBRN weapons or capabilities. CBRN elimination is the systematic removal of a
capability within a nation or organization to develop, deploy, or employ CBRN weapons. The
degree or extent of elimination is a strategic objective, defined by a strategic end state, and
ranges from complete removal of all capability (including research, production, and training
regarding any form of CBRN weapon) to the focused removal of specific capabilities. This task
encompasses three primary subtasks: Executing Exploitation (locating, characterizing, and
securing CBRN materiel, weapons, equipment, personnel, and infrastructure, and developing
appropriate forensic evidence); Executing Disposition (destroying, dismantling, rendering safe,
removing, transferring, or otherwise verifiably disposing of CBRN materiel, weapons,
equipment, and infrastructure); and Executing Monitoring and Redirection (monitoring,
inspecting, and redirecting/converting the CBRN infrastructure).

17.0 Tactical Sustain
17.0.1
Introduction
At the Tactical (TA) level of war, battles and engagements are planned and executed to
accomplish military objectives assigned to tactical units or task forces. Activities at this level
focus on the ordered arrangement and maneuver of combat elements in relation to each other and
to the enemy to achieve combat objectives. Thirty Tactical Sustain (SUST) tasks were identified
in the chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) Functional Area Analysis (FAA).
An additional task was added associated with isolation operations, which is a recently added
component of elimination operations. However, the detailed analysis of the elimination tasks has
been deferred to the Joint Requirements Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and
Nuclear Defense (JRO-CBRND)-sponsored FAA/Functional Needs Analysis (FNA) of the
weapons of mass destruction (WMD) elimination and interdiction functional areas.
This chapter, detailing the Tactical Sustain (TASUST) area, restates relevant information from
the CBRN Defense (CBRND) FAA, including a description of each of the 30 TASUST tasks,
derivation of the task, an indication of other linked tasks, and the pertinent conditions. The FNA
section addresses the capability and deficiency analysis and a brief description of potential near-
term changes. Once all the capabilities are considered, the assessment concludes with a separate,
overarching look at the entire capability spectrum to identify remaining gaps and/or synergies.
The Functional Solutions Analysis (FSA) section addresses possible solutions for the
deficiencies identified in the FNA section. These are categorized into materiel or non-materiel.
The non-materiel solutions are addressed first and reflect one or more of the six areas of
DOTLPF: doctrine, organization, training, leadership, personnel, and facilities. If there is no non-
materiel solution to the deficiencies, then materiel solutions are considered. These encompass
broad approaches that are not system-specific. These potential materiel approaches are addressed
and evaluated in the Ideas for Materiel Solutions (IMA) section. The IMAs provide a possible
near- or far-term resolution to identified deficiencies within the individual capabilities.
Most of the TASUST tasks involve the process of decontamination of such things as equipment,
vehicles, weapons, facilities, open areas, and personnel. According to current doctrine, the
possible spectrum of decontaminants is quite broad, including standard, nonstandard, and natural
materials. This effort limits consideration of decontaminants within the capability assessment to
those items that are readily available to units and personnel. Typically, these encompass
primarily standard and natural decontaminants.
Tasks associated with personnel, such as decontaminating casualties or diagnosing and treating
CBRN effects, also include military working animals (MWAs), specifically military working
dogs (MWDs). Several animal species are used as MWAs; however, MWDs are the predominant
species and are most likely to be deployed with military personnel.
The remaining tasks address CBRND medical diagnostics and medical therapeutics, as well as
relevant CBRND joint tactical and Service component tactical tasks.

FNA Summary
Table 17.0-1 below summarizes the overall current and projected capability to perform the
TASUST tasks identified in the CBRND FAA. The overall capability to conduct these tasks in
the current time frame is assessed as “yellow.” There are key deficiencies in the U.S. Department
of Defense’s (DoD’s) ability to decontaminate sensitive equipment, aircraft, fixed facilities and
open areas, along with deficiencies in producing potable water in a contaminated environment
(on an individual basis). It is projected that the overall status will remain “yellow” in the
near/mid term in spite of the fielding of item-specific, initial decontamination capabilities
resulting from targeted developmental programs and technology demonstrations. This status is
primarily due to ongoing logistical challenges in the decontamination of open areas and remains,
as well as shortfalls in the low-level verification of decontamination efficacy for chemical and
biological agents.
More specific decontamination capability gaps revealed by the analysis include efficacy, the
ability to decontaminate a wider range of agents/hazards, thorough decontamination processing
rates, materiel compatibility, and logistics challenges presented when conducting
decontamination operations. Future decontamination processes should achieve efficacy levels
that will allow unprotected post-decontamination exposures for long periods with minimal
hazards, preferably meeting both civilian and military standards, although specific policy
guidance is lacking on acceptable levels for residual contamination levels. Capabilities are
needed to decontaminate all potential residual hazards in the battlespace that may require
multiple processes, systems, and/or decontaminants to achieve. Future processes and systems
should lessen the time required to carry out decontamination to provide warfighters more rapid
relief from Mission-Oriented Protective Posture (MOPP). Decontamination processes, systems,
and decontaminants must be compatible with a wide range of materiel and facilities to avoid
degrading readiness and capabilities due to damage from decontamination processes.
Technology thrusts are needed to lessen logistical burdens and cut manpower requirements
associated with decontamination for both current and existing developmental programs.
To determine current decontamination capabilities, the following standard decontaminants,
systems and other capabilities to perform decontamination at the immediate, operational and
thorough levels were evaluated (identified as “I” for immediate, “O” for operational, and “T” for
thorough below each measure in the capability/deficiency assessment tables that follow):
M291 Skin Decontamination Kit (SDK). The M291 has six packets of applicator pads filled with
decontamination powder. The powder absorbs and neutralizes liquid chemical agents on skin
and personal nonsensitive equipment.
M100 Sorbent Decontamination System (SDS). The M100 consists of two 0.7-pound bags of
powdered reactive sorbent and two mitts. It is used on small areas that must be touched and
crew-served weapons.
M295 Individual Equipment Decontamination Kit. One M295 pouch contains four wipe-down
mitts used on masks/hoods, gloves, helmet, and weapons using the same powder as the M100
SDS.

M17-series Lightweight Decontamination System (LDS). A relatively small engine-powered
pump and water-heating unit with two wand assemblies and 1580-3000 gallon collapsible
water tanks. Lightweight Decontamination Systems are primarily used for operational and
thorough decontamination of vehicles and equipment. They may also be used for personnel
showers.
M12A1 Power-Driven Decontamination Apparatus (PDDA). The M12A1 is a large engine-
powered pump and water-heating unit with two spray wand assemblies and a metal 500-
gallon tank capable of mixing decontaminants and water in the tank. It is an aging system
used for larger-scale decontamination missions to include terrain decontamination. Only the
Army currently utilizes the M12A1.
Super Tropical Bleach (STB). A standard military decontaminant utilized in powder form or
diluted with water as slurry.
High-Test Hypochlorite (HTH). A standard military decontaminant utilized in water-diluted
solution mixtures.
Various other existing capabilities that are used to support decontamination processes were also
evaluated. Many standard soaps and detergents are readily available and commonly used to
remove but not neutralize contamination. Soaps and detergents are the primary decontaminants
used to remove radioactive fallout or other particles. Many common disinfectants are effective
against non-spore-forming biological agents. Decontamination sites utilize most of the existing
decontamination systems in accordance with doctrine and tactics, techniques, and procedures
(TTPs) to methodically carry out various decontamination processes. Naval ships possess
countermeasures washdown systems (CMWDs) used to prewet exterior shipboard surfaces when
it is suspected the ship may become contaminated and to assist with post-event decontamination
efforts. Firemains and steam sources available on ships can also assist with decontamination.
Physical removal of contamination may also be specified, particularly for ships undergoing
maintenance and in some terrain decontamination scenarios.
To determine near-/mid-/far-term decontamination capabilities, current ongoing developmental
decontamination programs were assessed assuming that these programs would meet all specified
key performance parameters. The following developmental programs to perform
decontamination at the immediate, operational and thorough levels were evaluated (identified as
“I,” “O,” and “T” below each measure in the capability/deficiency assessment tables):
Joint Service Personnel/Skin Decontamination System (JSPDS). JSPDS will replace the
M291 Skin Decontaminating Kit. All four Services are participating in this program.
Increment I will provide operational capabilities equal to, and efficacy capabilities greater
than, the M291 Skin Decontaminating Kit. Increment II capabilities will address
percutaneous hazards for which existing systems (i.e., M291 Skin Decontaminating Kit) are
not effective and add system capabilities to include decontamination of personnel with open
wounds, thorough whole-body decontamination, radiological decontamination, and handling
of contaminated personnel remains.

Joint Service Transportable Decontamination Systems (JSTDS). JSTDS will develop two
decontamination systems, small-scale and large scale. The small-scale system (JSTDS-SS)
will replace all existing M17-series Lightweight Decontamination Systems in Service
inventories. All four Services are participating in this program. The large-scale system
(JSTDS-LS) will replace the M12A1 system used by the Army and will also be employed by
the Air Force. Both small- and large-scale decontamination systems will be developed using
an incremental approach. Increment I will provide improved capabilities over current systems
to decontaminate tactical and nontactical vehicles, ship exterior surfaces, crew-served
weapons, aircraft, and aircraft support equipment, building/facility exteriors, and terrain.
Increment II will focus on improving overarching decontamination processes, efficacy, and
system capabilities for operational and thorough decontamination of equipment, aircraft, and
nonsensitive building/facility interior spaces.
Joint Portable Decontamination System (JPDS). JPDS will replace capabilities formerly
provided by the M11 and M13 Decontamination Apparatuses using Decontamination
Solution #2 (DS-2). All Services stopped using DS-2 during FY2004 due to storage and
health hazards. All Services except the Marine Corps are participating in this program.
Increment I will provide initial or improved capabilities to decontaminate a broad range of
equipment (e.g., ships, tactical vehicles, and crew-served weapons). In addition, JPDS may
be used for immediate decontamination of individual equipment. JPDS will be used with
existing approved soaps to perform decontamination operations on aircraft and aircraft
support equipment. Increment II will focus on improving decontamination processes,
efficacy, and system capabilities to include thorough decontamination of select aircraft and
nonsensitive building/facility interior spaces.
Joint Service Sensitive Equipment Decontamination (JSSED). JSSED will provide a new
capability. All four Services are participating in this program. Increment I will provide initial
or improved capabilities to decontaminate sensitive equipment. Increment I improvements
will standardize sensitive equipment decontamination processes, lessen potential to damage
or degrade sensitive equipment, and provide greater assurance that decontaminated items can
be safely handled and employed after being decontaminated. Increment II will focus on
further improving decontamination efficacy and range of agents that can be decontaminated,
lessen time required for decontamination cycles, eliminate equipment degradation, and
provide initial capabilities for JSSED to decontaminate large sensitive equipment items.
Joint Platform Interior Decontamination (JPID). JPID will provide a new capability. All
Services except the Marine Corps are participating in this program. Increment I will provide
initial or improved capabilities to decontaminate vehicles, ships, fixed-site facilities, aircraft,
and mobile maintenance facility interiors. Increment I improvements will lessen the potential
to damage or degrade sensitive equipment and provide greater assurance that decontaminated
interior spaces can be safely occupied after being decontaminated. Increment II will focus on
further improving decontamination efficacy and the range of agents that can be
decontaminated, lessen time required for decontamination processes, allow for the
decontamination of aircraft cargo spaces and cargo while in flight, and eliminate equipment
degradation.

There are also key deficiencies in CBRN diagnosis and treatment of personnel and MWDs. First,
in regards to chemical exposure diagnostics, there are no definite clinical tests to confirm
mustard agent or phosgene exposure. This lack is important since signs and symptoms of
mustard and phosgene exposure can be delayed and may not be immediately recognizable to
medical and veterinary staff. Signs and symptoms of early stages of biological agent infection
are frequently nonspecific; consequently, there is a lack of capability to identify illnesses during
prodromal stages. In some cases, clinical diagnosis can presumptively identify infected personnel
and MWDs during presymptomatic and prodromal stages; however, this task usually requires
reliable sampling capabilities, which currently do not exist. Signs and symptoms of radiation
exposure can easily be confused for those caused by other conditions. For example, many acute
radiation syndrome prodromal symptoms can also be caused by psychological stress. For this
reason, clinical diagnosis is critical to diagnosing exposed personnel and MWDs. However, there
is no clinical test that can rapidly identify personnel and MWDs that either were exposed to
radiation or have internalized radioactive contamination.
In terms of treatment capabilities, there is a lack of Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-
approved chemical exposure countermeasures that can be self- or buddy-administered
(Self/Buddy Aid is basically limited to autoinjectors for nerve agent exposure). Furthermore,
many, if not most, of these countermeasures have major contraindications. In addition, there is a
lack of effective antivirals and antitoxins for personnel and MWDs infected by viruses and toxins
of interest, respectively. For example, there are no effective antivirals for Ebola/Marburg viruses,
the equine encephalitis viruses, and smallpox; and there are no effective antitoxins for ricin,
SEB, and T-2 mycotoxins. Radiological exposure countermeasures are primarily limited to
therapeutics and symptomatic care. Though there are chelating, blocking, diluting, and
mobilizing agents, many of these must be administered promptly after internalization or they lose
their effectiveness. Also, many can have toxic effects on the body.
The capability assessment provided by this FNA is provided as a tool to show where capability
gaps exist. All capability gaps will continue to be prioritized by the Joint Priority List (JPL) in
accordance with Paragraph 3.2.1.5 of the Implementation Plan for the Management of the
Chemical and Biological Defense Program. The FNA/FSA is not used to specifically support the
planning, programming and budgeting for the Chemical and Biological Defense Program but is
used to support the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) process.
