Questions and answers

What information must accompany CBRN ISR plans and matrices?

There is no set format for them, but they do have key pieces of information and should always be accompanied by a CBRN ISR overlay that graphically depicts the information contained in the plan and matrices.

What are the three modes of CBRN reconnaissance and surveillance?

There are three modes associated with CBRN R&S. (paragraph 4-2)

When are dismounted CBRN reconnaissance and surveillance missions directed?

The following conditions may result in the commander directing a dismounted CBRN R&S mission:  Time is available.  Detailed CBRN R&S is required.  Stealth is required. (paragraph 4-4)

What is the purpose of the standoff method during surveillance operations?

During surveillance operations the standoff method is conducted to provide early warning, tracking and in some cases, identification of a CBRN hazard. (paragraph 4-7)

What does a CBRN sample management plan include?
