    PERRY, Ga. – Cpl. Lee Schaff, an aircraft rescue and firefighting specialist with technical rescue platoon, Chemical Biological Incident Response Force, CBIRF, hooks a set of chains to a gas strut A-frame, similar to a hydraulic jack, used to lift a concrete barrier to extract a casualty, as a part of trench rescue training during Exercise Scarlet Response 2016 at Guardian Centers, Perry, Ga., Aug. 22, 2016. This exercise is the unit’s capstone event testing the levels of each individual CBIRF capability with lane training and culminating with a 36-hour simulated response to a nuclear detonation. CBIRF is an active duty Marine Corps unit that, when directed, forward-deploys and/or responds with minimal warning to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive (CBRNE) threat or event in order to assist local, state, or federal agencies and the geographic combatant commanders in the conduct of CBRNE response or consequence management operations, providing capabilities for command and control; agent detection and identification; search, rescue, and decontamination; and emergency medical care for contaminated personnel.
