Exercise "Dread Night": Using Allied Medical Publication-8(C) to Estimate Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Casualties
Abstract
The U.S. Army Office of the Surgeon General (OTSG) tasked IDA with planning and conducting "Dread Night," a tabletop exercise in which participants were expected to develop a casualty estimate for a planning scenario involving an anthrax attack against NATO forces located in and around Kabul International Airport in Afghanistan. The exercise was designed to promote familiarity and understanding of the casualty estimation methodology contained in Allied Medical Publication 8(C): NATO Planning Guide for the Estimation of CBRN Casualties (AMedP-8(C)). This exercise was conducted as part of the 31st meeting of the NATO Military Committee Medical Standardization Board Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Medical Working Group, held 1-3 February 2010 at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. This paper documents IDA's work in the development of the exercise, the conduct of the exercise itself, and the results. Exercise scripts, worksheets, background materials and outputs are provided as Appendices.
