OPCW (Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons) Courses on Assistance and Protection against Chemical Weapons each year. The OPCW organised an Investigation of Alleged Use (IAU) Exercise at the CBRN TC from 15 to 19 October 2012, involving the use of (RS)-O-Isopropyl methylphosphonofluori- date (Sarin or GB).


CBNW: How long have the courses been running and how many countries have been involved?


BA: Since 2009 a huge variety of international courses took place at SAF CBRN TC. These included courses on CBRN Warning and Reporting based on NATO’s Allied Tactical Publication ATP-45 Warning & Reporting and Hazard Prediction of CBRN Incidents, and using the CBRN W&R’s NBC Analysis soſtware. In total about 87 countries provided students to the TC – including NATO members France, Germany, the UK and the United States. To increase international Outreach the CBRN TC has established contacts with the NATO School Oberammergau


DECONTAMINATION EQUIPMENT


SAF CBRN TC procured the decontamination/detoxification system Sanijet C.921 (NATO Supply Number 4230-15-157- 5553) produced by the Italian company CRISTANINI S.p.a. Sanijet has to be seen as a system of medium and large capacity for decontamination and detoxification of personnel, equipment, vehicles and terrain/infrastructure using standard accessories. Sanijet implements the ‘one machine, one operator’ philosophy.

with the Austrian and the Turkish CBRN Defence School. On a long-term basis the CBRN Training Centre could become a multinational CBRN training Centre involving the states of former Yugoslavia and Albania. So far the Republic of Kosovo has not been included. A Serbian CBRN Decontamination


Squad will be Operational Capability Concept (OCC) evaluated in 2013 and 2014. An OCC evaluation is the pre-condition for non-NATO members to contribute own units to NATO forces. In 2010 Ukraine provided a decontamination platoon to NATO’s Combined Joint CBRN Defence Task Force.


CBNW: What kind of equipment is used, and can you tell us a bit more about the training course structures?


The available equipment is state-of-the- art, and sometimes more modern than in some NATO member states. For example, for decontamination the Serbian CBRN Training Centre demonstrated Cristanini’s SANIJET C.921, and many NATO members are currently using the same system. The training infrastructure of the


Tzar Lazar Barracks comprises several classrooms for theoretical lectures on chemical and nuclear/radiological weapons, as well as on CBRN protection, a CBRN simulation classroom for training
