    A nighttime emergency response or training exercise showing multiple personnel in full protective gear including gas masks, tactical vests, and helmets. The individual on the left is identified as a 'Safety Officer' wearing a white helmet, while others wear red helmets and full-face respirators. The scene appears to be a coordinated drill or real hazmat/emergency response operation.

    Marines with search and extraction platoon, Chemical Biological Incident Response Force, CBIRF, are inspected for proper personal protective equipment by Staff Sgt. Justin Wells, safety officer with Initial Response Force B before heading downrange to help simulated victims affected by a notional nuclear explosion during 48-hour operations 0m9 as part of Exercise Scarlet Response 2016 at Guardian Centers, Perry, Ga., Aug. 25, 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.
