Iraqi First Responder Train and Equip Efforts to Mitigate Chemical Weapons Threats

This project strengthened the capacity of Iraqi first responders to rapidly detect the use of chemical weapons (CW), don personal protective equipment (PPE), sample contaminated materials, and decontaminate affected areas/personnel through:

  1. Procurement of specialized PPE to include M40 masks, JSLIST suits, gloves, boots, and canisters for the Iraqi Counter Terrorism Services and Ministry of Defense for use in counter-ISIS operations;
  2. Procurement of specialized equipment for the Iraqi Civil Defense CBRN Teams to efficiently sample CW material used on the battlefield and prepare for expedient transport for analysis;
  3. Procurement of advanced CW detection training equipment for use by Iraqi Security Forces;
  4. CW incident command training to exercise and build upon Iraqi Security Forces’ SOPs to detect the presence of CW, don PPE, and decontaminate during counter ISIS operations; and
  5. Specialized training for response to ISIS sabotage/arson attempts targeting industrial chemical facilities.
