First-Receiver Operations Training ensures sailors’ CBRN readiness

U.S. Navy Sailors from the Robert M. Casey Medical and Dental Clinic assess a simulated victim during first-receiver operations training at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, June 9, 2016. Provided by the Decontamination, Education and Consulting on Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Limited Liability Company, the course educates first receivers in conducting decontamination, field treatment and saving victims from chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats. The training included testing the sailors’ abilities when dealing with CBRN patients by donning disposable-toxicological-agent-protective suits to assemble a three-line articulating frame shelter system that enables victims to be processed as quickly as possible.
