The JCBRN Defence COE and NIRC Teach Kuwaiti First Responders How to Respond to a Mass-casualty Chemical Incident

From 12-16 February 2023, the NATO-Istanbul Cooperation Initiative Regional Centre in Kuwait (NIRC) hosted the CBRN Awareness for First Responders Course; delivered by a mobile training team from the JCBRN Defence COE.

The course was planned by NATO’s Arms Control, Disarmament, and Non-Proliferation Centre as part of NATO’s partnership and outreach efforts. Twenty CBRN defence experts from Kuwait, Oman, and Saudi Arabia attended this course to receive tailor-made theoretical and practical CBRN training.
