Behind the scenes of the various Joint, Army, Reserve and Guard military CBRN exercises are those who write the scripts of the crisis scenarios, making the disaster-response training as realistic as possible. Almost 100 people from about 30 different units nationwide are at Joint Base SA - Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas doing that now in preparation for the yearly exercise Vibrant Response scheduled for April 22 - May 22 2019 in Indiana and Michigan. The exercise will focus on Defense Support of Civil Authorities during a catastrophic CBRN event. VR-19 primarily trains the 2-star HQs of the Defense CBRN Response Force, Joint Task Force Civil Support; the C2CRE-A (76th ORC); and the C2CRE-B (46th MPC).
