Les militaires qui agissent en qualité de spécialistes en défense CBRN doivent être convaincus que les opérations peuvent être menées en toute sécurité dans un environnement contaminé. À cette fin, la formation avec des agents chimiques devrait être donnée dans un environnement réaliste mais contrôlé. En outre, les membres de certaines unités opérationnelles profitent de cette formation pour assurer la précision de l’équipement, la fiabilité des techniques ainsi que les compétences et l’assurance du personnel. [...] La formation avec des agents chimiques est autorisée en priorité pour ce qui suit : [...] les unités d’appui général en défense CBRN; les unités de décontamination (pelotons d’unité mobile de buanderie et de bain, escadrons du génie de l’air et ambulances de campagne); [...] les officiers de défense CBRN des unités des écoles navales des FC [Forces canadiennes] et les instructeurs de défense CBRN des unités [...] 1, record 2, French, - instructeur%20de%20d%C3%A9fense%20CBRN

The Judge Advocate of Her Majesty's Fleet is a civilian circuit judge who is responsible for the supervision and superintendence of court-martial system in the Royal Navy. Responsibility for the naval court-martial system was formerly shared with the Chief Naval Judge Advocate, a legally-trained serving naval officer who was responsible for the appointment of judge advocates, but that position was abolished in 2004 as a result of ruling by the European Court of Human Rights that held that as a serving naval officer his position was insufficiently neutral. The office of Judge Advocate of the Fleet will be merged with the office of Judge Advocate General under the Armed Forces Act 2006. 1, record 3, English, - Judge%20Advocate%20of%20Her%20Majesty%27s%20Fleet
