The threat of Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) weapons requires the Army to have a corps of dedicated professionals capable of using the latest CBRN defense technology. Attending AIT at CBRN School and becoming a Dragon Soldier in the Chemical Corps means you will learn how to protect our country from CBRN hazards and Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).
Your training will include how to identify and detect CBRN hazards as well as learning how to operate the technical vehicles and equipment used in CBRN operations.
During AIT, CBRN students become disciplined, motivated Soldiers proficient in common entry-level skills. They learn to develop self-discipline, physical readiness, motivation and proficiency in combat survival techniques and individual weapons that enable the Soldiers to become productive members of the U.S. Army Chemical Corps. They are trained in CBRN detection and identification, reconnaissance, decontamination and smoke operations.
