    A multi-story parking structure has suffered a catastrophic collapse, with multiple floor slabs pancaking downward and trapping numerous vehicles beneath the debris. The concrete framework remains partially standing while the intermediate floors have buckled and fallen, crushing cars on multiple levels. At least one person in a hard hat is visible on the right side, suggesting emergency response or assessment is underway.

    PERRY, Ga. – This collapsed building simulates the affects of a simulated nuclear detonation, leaving multiple vehicles crushed in need of extrication. Chemical Biological Incident Response Force, CBIRF, Marines and sailor used the structure to hone their life-saving skills during 48-hour operations 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.
