Air Force 1st Fighter Wing Conducts 'Live Exercise' for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Terrorism Response

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Air Force 1st Fighter Wing (hereinafter ‘1st Fighter Wing’) conducted realistic training to respond to chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) terror situations.

According to the Air Force 1st Fighter Wing on the 8th, the CBRN anti-terror training held on the 7th was conducted to improve the initial response procedures and mission performance capabilities of response forces in the event of a CBRN terror situation on the base.

The training began with a scenario assuming a report that a delivery package with white powder on it was delivered to the post office within the base.

In response, the anti-terror initial response team immediately dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, the anti-terror operation personnel controlled the scene by blocking the movement of people and vehicles near the incident location.

Then, the CBRN rapid response team entered the site, collected samples, and conducted a simple test on the white powder using a biological weapon diagnostic kit.

The CBRN rapid response team thoroughly decontaminated the area where the white powder was found in case the substance was harmful.

Second Lieutenant Shim Sohyun of the 1st Fighter Wing CBRN Support Unit said, “The best way to prepare for CBRN terror is to develop mission performance capabilities through realistic training,” adding, “We will do our best to maintain a safe unit by responding quickly and accurately in the event of a terror situation through realistic training.”
