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
