The term "biological surveillance", as used in this publication, refers to the actions taken to detect that a BW attack has occurred and identify the suspected BW agent involved. Users of this manual are nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) or chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) staff and medical officers, unit commanders, NBC noncommissioned officers (NCOs), and others involved in planning and conducting biological-surveillance operations. NOTE: The United States Marine Corps (USMC) uses the acronym METT-T (mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops available, and time). Civilian considerations are inherently measured within the context of this acronym. The purpose of this publication is to provide commanders, staffs, and unit leaders with a reference for the planning and conduct of biological-surveillance operations. It serves as a key source document for the development of other multiservice manuals and the refinement of existing training support packages, training center exercises, and service school curriculum. This manual provides the commander and his staff with tools to support: countering a biological threat. Providing input to support force protection (FP). Supporting medical requirements. Supporting the decision making process. Surveillance is the systematic observation of aerospace, surface, or subsurface areas, places, persons, or things by visual, aural, electronic, or other means. Specifically, biological surveillance is the observation of specific areas of an area of operations (AO) for biological hazards. This includes the use of biological-detection or -collection assets (such as conducting background monitoring and biological-detection operations) and all source intelligences capable of providing information that a biological attack has occurred. It "paints the picture" of the status of the biological threat for the commander. It also includes the analysis and dissemination of the data collected.
