    Two emergency responders in full protective gear, including respirators and red helmets, are carrying a training mannequin during what appears to be a rescue drill or exercise. The setting is a dilapidated interior space with debris on the floor, consistent with a simulated disaster or hazmat training environment. Both personnel are wearing self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and high-visibility tactical uniforms.

    PERRY, Ga. – Marines with search and extraction platoon, Chemical Biological Incident Response Force, CBIRF, transport a simulated victim that was found in an underground safe room 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.
