21st Century Essential NBC Reference Series Biological Weapons and Terrorism Reports Army Soldier and Biological Chemical Command Criminal Destruction WMD First Responder Ringbound - SBCCOM
Author: Department of Defense

This is an up-to-date compendium of three U.S. Army Soldier and Biological Chemical Command (SBCCOM) publications relating to biological weapons terrorism. A well-executed, covert biological terrorism attack could produce large numbers of casualties, overwhelm a community?s or state?s emergency resources, and present a catastrophic public h... more »ealth and medical emergency. Public Law 104-201 - The Defense Against Weapons of Mass Destruction Act of 1996 (also known as the Nunn-Lugar-Domenici Domestic Preparedness Act) provided the nation?s first responders with training, equipment and exercises regarding emergency response to weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The Secretary of Defense was mandated to develop and carry out a program to improve the responses of federal, state, and local agencies to emergencies involving biological and chemical weapons. One product of this initiative is the Biological Warfare Improved Response Program (BWIRP), developed under the auspices of the U.S. Army Soldier and Biological Chemical Command (SBCCOM). SBCCOM led a multi-agency task force that formulated an integrated emergency response approach to a terrorist?s use of a biological weapon (BW). Documents in this compendium: CRIMINAL AND EPIDEMIOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION REPORT - This joint publication of the DoD and the National Domestic Preparedness Office (NDPO) reports on a workshop in 2000 on the coordination of the epidemiological and criminal investigations that would take place after a bioterrorism attack. Law enforcement and the medical/public health community typically conduct their investigations independently. The goal of the workship was: "To identify methods to establish information-sharing relationships between the law enforcement community and the medical/public health community, at all levels of government; to ensure the timely exchange of critical information; and to rapidly identify a terrorist incident involving biological agents. These relationships should build upon existing policies and procedures whenever possible and establish new mechanisms when necessary." This report is a product of the panel?s discussions and is intended to assist the law enforcement and medical/public health communities in resolving the coordination problem.. The first section discusses the process used to arrive at the conclusions in this report. The second section briefly discusses the core issues that drove the discussions among the respective panelists. The final section contains the panelists? conclusions and suggestions to facilitate improved coordination between the law enforcement and the medical/public health communities. The conclusion addresses four key areas: 1. WHAT ? What information is necessary for each investigation? 2. WHO/WHEN ? Who gets this information? When should the individual or group get the information? 3. HOW ? Understanding that there are barriers to free exchange of some information, how can the law enforcement and medical/public health communities work to improve the exchange? 4. DECISIONS ? What are the critical decision points in each investigation? MASS CASUALTY TERRORISM HEALTHCARE - In order to manage this potentially huge casualty load that would result from a covert bioterrorist attack, the BWIRP team developed the Modular Emergency Medical System (MEMS) concept. The MEMS addresses the gap in casualty care resources that would exist in most medical care jurisdictions today if a large number of BW victims were to seek treatment from neighborhood area hospitals. The MEMS is based on the rapid organization of two types of expandable patient care modules, the Neighborhood Emergency Help Center (NEHC) and the Acute Care Center (ACC). The MEMS concept also includes a Medical Command and Control (MCC) element, Casualty Transportation System (CTS), Community Outreach, Mass Prophylaxis, and Public Information components. This serves to introduce key characteristics of the MEMS concept and modules and presents an overview of
