Major Randy Godfrey, Deputy Director, Directorate of Joint Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear Defence, on further developing their CBRN defence
IAll aboard!
n 2017, the Canadian government published its defence policy entitled, Strong Secure Engaged (SSE). It
outlined eight core missions for the Canadian armed forces (CAF) of which six could involve or require a chemical biological radiological and nuclear defence (CBRND) capability. The policy statement also outlined the government’s long term funding intentions for supporting CAF which included improvements to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive (CBRNE) detection and response capabilities. These policy initiatives speak
directly to the core mandate of the Directorate of Joint Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear Defence (D JCBRN D). It is the CAF’s CBRN centre of excellence drawing upon collective expertise from
leadership, project directors, managers, scientists and other members of the CBRND community. The directorate, under its current director, LCol Gerard Byrne, manages the CBRN omnibus programme which, through major and minor projects, aims to deliver joint capabilities to the CAF, based on approved doctrine, tactics, techniques, procedures, testing and training. The directorate is responsible for:
• developing joint CBRND capabilities to enable the CAF to survive and operate effectively in a CBRN environment. • developing, coordinating and promulgating joint CBRND policy and doctrine. • providing CBRN specialist advice and information to all levels of military command, other government departments (OGDs), the Canadian
Forces Fire and CBRN Academy (CFFCA) and Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) among others. • enhancing joint interoperability with OGDs and Canada’s allies. • developing joint CBRN operational support capabilities to support force projection and sustainment. • supporting the management of stocks.
LCol Gerard Byrne stated: “Our directorate is a thinktank for all things CBRN related, including doctrine, requirements and capabilities. As in the past, we are developing and show- casing new joint capabilities that speak directly and support the new defence policy initiatives (SSE). The directorate is constantly reaching out to stakeholders to solicit their input regarding the challenges and
