Course Title

WMD Incident Command Training (Live Agent)

Description

The WMD Incident Command Training Course is three days fo in-depth training that takes the attendee through the entire spectrum of command of a weapons of mass destruction (WMD) terrorist event. The course provides instruction on WMD, the incident command system coupled with the Federal response, and examines the complexities of operational considerations and actions of command at a WMD event. The course takes the attendee through pre- and post-considerations by incorporating a segment on planning for the response using techniques that allow the commander to determine the correct composition of the panning team, evaluating the threat to the jurisdiction, identifying and prioritizing probable targets, measuring required capabilities, and developing a local incident response plan to a WMD terrorist incident.

The course culminates with the attendee participating in an eight-hour real-time tabletop exercise using the materials developed in the previous sessions to plan for and command the emergency response resources at the incident site.
