Dan Byles:
Defence maintains specialist and generalist mobile decontamination capabilities, and individual personnel deploy with personal decontamination capability. All Defence decontamination capability is optimised for military operations.
The emergency services are the recognised primary responders in the event of a chemical biological radiological nuclear (CBRN) event in the UK. If requested, Defence could deploy its CBRN decontamination capability to assist the civil powers under military aid to the civil authority (MACA) arrangements.
