The Florida National Guard’s CBRNE Enhanced Response Force Package (CERFP) showcased their emergency response expertise in an external evaluation conducted Sept. 20-23, 2023 at Camp Blanding Joint Training Center, Florida. The Florida National Guard’s CERFP includes more than 200 Soldiers and Airmen from Air and Army units who form one CERFP unit in the wake of a catastrophe. CERFP units comprise five major elements including command and control, search and extraction, decontamination, medical support and fatality search and recovery in which teams are evaluated on their ability to immediately respond to a CBRN incident. During the exercise, teams conducted a site search of collapsed buildings and structures, performed rescue tasks to extract trapped casualties, facilitated mass decontamination measures, performed medical triage and initial treatment to stabilize patients for transport to medical facilities, and recovered CBRN incident fatalities. Each element — CBRN, medics, decontamination, search and extraction, and FSRT (fatality, search and recovery team) — is evaluated as part of the total force response. CERFP units are evaluated every 24-36 months and are validated by the state TAG. (U.S. Air National Guard video by Tech Sgt. Chelsea Smith)
