TACTICAL CWMD OVERVIEW: CWMD Task Force (maneuver BN +) is tasked to locate, isolate, seize/secure, and assess WMD objectives. Initial assessment will be conducted
by the TF with maneuver forces plus assigned enablers. Initial assessment report leads to informed decision-making by higher headquarters to determine which specialized
assets and actions are necessary to complete detailed exploitation, disablement, and disposal of WMD materials, equipment, and munitions. The CWMD TF will maintain
command of the mission, being responsible for security, sustainment, and overall mission execution until properly relieved.
