United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) 56M Competition Practice Test

CBRN operations are covered in FM 3-11, the field manual dedicated to chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear defense. It provides the doctrine, organization, and procedures for detecting CBRN hazards, protecting personnel and equipment, decontaminating affected areas, and planning and executing CBRN response within the broader mission. This manual also outlines the roles of commanders and staff in CBRN defense and how to train and equip units for CBRN readiness. Other manuals in the list address different areas—general operations, sustainment, or broader command and staff functions—not the specialized CBRN topic.
