The Chemical Biological Incident Response Force conducted a six-day training exercise in Perry, Ga., August 14 -20. Exercise Scarlet Response challenged the Marines and Sailors of Initial Response Force B with scenarios that would be encountered during numerous variants of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive incidents in city and rural environments. The culminating event of the weeklong exercise was a 48-hour rescue mission, in which IRF B established decontamination checkpoints and extracted simulated victims and casualties from highway vehicle accidents, collapsed structures and underground power outages. "We need to exercise each of our disciplines," said Col. Stephen Redifer, commanding officer of CBIRF. "We need to do technical rescue in consonance with extract and search in a contaminated environment. This exercise offers all of that."
