SUMMARY
In this chapter, you have learned about CBR
defense. During a major conflict, an enemy who uses
weapons of mass destruction will find a way to get these
weapons through our defenses. The U.S. Navy has spent
many years and a considerable amount of money
developing protective systems, equipment, and
measuring devices that are available to us today. These
systems give us the ability to defend ourselves and our
units against CBR attacks and the ability to continue as a
combat-capable force. These systems, devices, and
equipment will work if used properly and at the right
time. The continued training on procedures, techniques,
systems, and equipment will ensure the maximum
protection available.
