NAVAL SUPPORT FACILITY INDIAN HEAD, Md. – Marietta, Ga.-native Sgt. Benjamin D. Frazier, chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) defense specialist, left, shakes hands with Col. Steve E. Redifer, commanding officer of the Chemical Biological Incident Response Force (CBIRF), U.S. Marine Corps Force Command (MARFORCOM), during a CBIRF Basic Operations Course graduation ceremony at Naval Support Facility Indian Head, Md., Mar. 11, 2016. The course is a three-week program that provides approximately 145 hours of classroom, practical applications and individual and team testing in chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosive (CBRNE) disciplines that meet federal requirements. After graduating the course, each Marine and sailor will be qualified to enter a contaminated area, search the area, provide emergency first aid and provide assistance to nonambulatory patients. Regardless of their jobs, or military occupational specialty, every Marine and sailor with CBIRF is required to complete the course, making the unit uniquely qualified to respond with minimal warning to a CBRNE threat.
