Summary[edit]

Description
English: Pictured is a 40 Commando Royal Marine plotting positions on a map during the UK’s biggest annual exercise to prepare troops for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) operations.

Exercise TOXIC DAGGER was supported by Dstl (The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory) along with Public Health England and The Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE).

Specialists in CBRN from Dstl and AWE were able to create realistic exercise scenarios based on the latest threat information. Completing the training and exercising against these scenarios provided a challenging programme for the Royal Marines to demonstrate their proficiency in the methods to detect, assess and mitigate a CBRN threat.

The three-week programme included Company-level attacks and scenarios concerning CBRN vignettes, concluding with a full-scale exercise involving government and industry scientists and more than 300 military personnel.

Dstl works to apply cutting-edge science and technology to keep UK Armed Forces, and the British people, protected from harm.

Dstl is an Executive Agency of the MOD, run along commercial lines. It is one of the principal government organisations dedicated to S&T in the defence and security field.
