U.S. Soldiers assigned to the 172nd Chemical Company, 2nd Battalion, 48th Chemical Brigade, 20th Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives (CBRNE) Command from Fort Riley, Kansas, prepares for a decontamination lane to begin at Fort Hood, Texas, on Feb. 22, 2026. The 172nd Chemical Company is an active-duty unit that provides CBRNE support, including both mounted and dismounted reconnaissance, surveillance and decontamination. The Reconnaissance and Surveillance Platoon was tasked with identifying hazards in a building as part of training for an upcoming exercise, Guardian Response. This exercise simulates the worst-case scenarios of a domestic CBRNE catastrophe. The training allowed Soldiers to practically set up and use their equipment to identify nuclear emissions and practice decontaminating a casualty. Additionally, it encouraged collaboration across the company’s platoons, enabling each section to work together toward a common goal. (U.S. Army Reserve photo by Sgt. Alexandria Romanack)
