On 9 December 2022, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) and the Kingdom of Thailand’s Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) conducted the “Official Handover Ceremony of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Detection Training and Equipment.” The equipment and training DTRA provided enables Thai first responders to safely enter a contaminated environment to detect, identify, sample, and monitor CBRN material using appropriate Personal Protection Equipment and detectors.
The ceremony began with a video presentation by the DDPM, highlighting the achievement of the recently completed delivery and training for the CBRN Detection and Response Equipment, and Counter-WMD (CWMD) Operations Course.
