Civil Support Team Trainer

The Civil Support Team Trainer (CSTT) is a recognized training requirement by the National Guard Bureau, J7, responsible for all CST training. Through FY06, ECS will have been funded over $4.5 million dollars to develop this state-of-the-art, technology-based solution for enhancing national security through training and education to our state and local emergency response officials. It is currently being deployed through NGB – Homeland Security.

The Civil Support Team mission is to support civil authorities at a domestic chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosives (CBRNE) incident site by identifying CBRNE agents/substances, assessing current and projected consequences, advising on response measures and assisting with requests for additional support. CSTs are a critical component of the response plans for any large scale disasters.

The CSTT builds upon traditional methods of WMD training to deliver complex information to a diverse, geographically dispersed audience in a short period of time. It also provides an opportunity to provide practical, hands-on experience in situations that can not easily be practiced safely using real scenarios while ensuring the essential skills are sustained once they are attained by an individual or team. CST training management is an integral component of this trainer that ensures each CST is proficient and ready to operate in response to large scale disasters.
