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.

Civilian and Military Consequence Managers Trained Together in CBRN Consequence Management

From 21 through 25 November 2022, the JCBRN Defence COE conducted a CBRN Consequence Management Course, receiving participants from both the military and civilian communities from 20 European nations. Conducted through a joint initiative under the civil-military cooperation framework between Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG ECHO) and JCBRN Defence COE, this course was designed to prepare and enable NATO, its Partner Nations and their civilian equivalents to assist each other in preparing for and responding to consequences caused by a CBRN incident.
