Dirty Bomb: NATO Response Force exercises together with civil disaster control

It is advisable to turn on the subtitles.
The video accompanies a first and thus unique exercise of the CJ-CBRND-TF (Combined Joint CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) Defense Task Force) together with civilian task forces from Fire brigade, rescue service and civil protection of the state of Saxony. The CJ-CBRND-TF is part of the NRF (NATO Response Force).
The starting point of the exercise is the simulated explosion of a dirty bomb (dirty bomb = explosive device with atomic additives) at the Emmerich train station on the Oberlausitz military training area. Soldiers and civilians are affected by the situation. There are shock patients and those who are physically injured. First, a situational picture is created. At the same time, the first coordination between civilian and military forces and operational commanders takes place. The contaminated area is identified and cordoned off while first aid is provided to the patients. The viewer is taken to the civilian and military scenes in chronological order. There are explanations from the fire brigade and the military leaders on the respective events and statements on the evaluation of the joint exercise. Different decontamination methods (civilian and military) are shown. The viewer also slips into the role of the contaminated patient. At the end of the video, the multinational cooperation within the CJ-CBRND-TF becomes tangible when a Bundeswehr vehicle convoy with soldiers, equipment and vehicles has to be decontaminated.
