Joint Service Chemical and Biological Defense Program. FY00-02 Overview
Abstract
In 1993, Congress passed Public Law 103-160, Section 1703, which created a Joint Service Chemical and Biological Defense Program (CBDP). The mission of the CBDP is to provide world-class chemical and biological defense capabilities to allow the military forces of the United States to survive and successfully complete their operational missions from peacetime contingency missions through two nearly simultaneous major theater wars across the entire spectrum of conflict in battlespace environments contaminated with chemical or biological warfare agents. Under the oversight of a single office within the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Deputy Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Chemical and Biological Defense, the individual Services, working within the framework of a Joint Service Agreement, have planned and supported a robust, coordinated program. This overview document provides highlights of our major efforts within the program, providing a summary of FY00 accomplishments and goals for FY01 and beyond. A separate, more detailed DoD Annual Report to Congress on the Chemical and Biological Defense Program is provided to the Congress.
