CBRN Defence (S6 E2)

About this episode

Lieutenant-Colonel Jonathan Hubble discusses the Canadian Army's approach to CBRN Defence and its implications for soldiers.

Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) materials are often the plot point in disaster and action movies. For soldiers, they are a potential threat on the battlefield or when responding to a domestic crisis. Lieutenant-Colonel Jonathan Hubble is the Director of the Joint CBRN Defence team, and he explains how the Army does all the heavy thinking about CBRN for the Canadian Armed Forces.
