    New York Army National Guard soldiers from the search and extraction element of the Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear enterprise evacuate a simulated casualty during a disaster response exercise here Aug. 9 at the Westchester County Fire Training Center. The CBRN Enterprise, part of the Homeland Response Force Region II, trained here this week to prepare its soldiers and airmen to extract casualties from a contaminated incident, provide decontamination to both ambulatory and litter patients and conduct medical triage to assist civil authorities. The scenario for the exercise involved a hazardous chemical spill from a train derailment. The search and extraction team is comprised of engineers of the 1156th Engineer Company, based in Kingston, N.Y.
