Following a deliberative review, our intelligence community assesses that the Assad regime has used chemical weapons, including the nerve agent sarin, on a small scale against the opposition multiple times in the last year.  Our intelligence community has high confidence in that assessment given multiple, independent streams of information.  The intelligence community estimates that 100 to 150 people have died from detected chemical weapons attacks in Syria to date; however, casualty data is likely incomplete.  While the lethality of these attacks make up only a small portion of the catastrophic loss of life in Syria, which now stands at more than 90,000 deaths, the use of chemical weapons violates international norms and crosses clear red lines that have existed within the international community for decades.  -- Statement by Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications Ben Rhodes on Syrian Chemical Weapons Use: White House, 13 June 2013.

It’s another day at the office or a day off shopping on a busy street. There’s a boom, or a crash, you can’t tell which. Then there’s an odd pause followed by screaming. A blast crumbles the walls and ceiling around you. The next moment you are surrounded by rubble with just inches to breathe.

This is just one of many possible situations from which the Massachusetts National Guard trains to rescue civilians after an attack or natural disaster involving chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or environmental factors. 

The potential damage from an incident involving CBRNE factors is too great for just one unit to mitigate. That’s the reason about a dozen units from the Massachusetts National Guard, along with supporting security elements from the Vermont Army National Guard’s 86th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, contribute troops and equipment to the CBRNE Enhanced Response Force-Package.
