Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear (CBRN) Training

The CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear) Training software program has been created for military instructors to use as a high quality, information filled training tool. This easy to use software program is not only ideal for teaching individuals new to CBRN knowledge, but also a great refresher tool for experienced service members.

Included in the CBRN Training, also commonly referred to as Nuclear Biological Chemical (NBC) training, are real-world military photos and graphical demonstrations. The CBRN Training presentation works like a PowerPoint presentation, but goes beyond the standard appearance with enhanced features including:

• Graphical animations and demonstrations
• CBRN Knowledge Test: 50 question
• CBRN acronym and terminology definitions

The software is largely based on the Skill Level 1 Common Training Task books, which means it is a training tool focused on the basics every Soldier, Marine, Airman, Sailor and Coast Guardsmen needs to know. The instruction is well organized, logically going through the basics which make learning CBRN training, and refreshing your current CBRN training, easier. Instructors can also customize their course structure by the program's sections and its easy to use navigation.

Additionally, the CBRN training program includes a 50 question CBRN Knowledge Test. At the end of the test trainees can submit their score which the instructor can use to validate the individual's training. This can be used for unit records as most services require CBRN training bi-annually or annually. This CBRN Knowledge Test certificate is a great tool for leaders to use in meeting annual requirements of their trainees, and makes the validation process much easier. However, this is not a professional certification, it is only used for training purposes.

An overview of the CBRN Training includes:

• CBRN History and Threats: Why CBRN Training is important
• CBRN Protection and Protective Gear: What you need to protect yourself
• Mission-Oriented Protective Posture (MOPP) Levels
