Counter Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Operations. Air Force Doctrine Document 2-1.8

Abstract

AFDD 2-1.8 establishes operational doctrine for the United States Air Force to conduct operations to counter NBC weapons. It articulates fundamental Air Force principles for the application of combat force and provides commanders operational-level guidance on the employment and integration of Air Force resources to achieve desired objectives. This AFDD applies to all Air Force military and civilian personnel (includes Air Force Reserve Command AFRC and Air National Guard ANG units and members). This document is authoritative but not directive; commanders are encouraged to exercise judgement in applying this doctrine to accomplish their missions.
