USD(A&S) SUBJECT: The Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Survivability Policy References: See Enclosure 1 1.  PURPOSE.  In accordance with the authority in DoD Directive (DoDD) 5135.02 (Reference (a)), this instruction reissues DoD Instruction (DoDI) 3150.09 (Reference (b)) and:
a.  Implements policy in accordance with section 1053 of Public Law 108-375 (Reference
(c)) and as established in DoDD 5000.01 (Reference (d)), DoDI 5000.02 (Reference (e)), DoDD S-5210.81 (Reference (f)), Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) Instruction (CJCSI) 3222.01C (Reference (g)), CJCSI 5123.01I (Reference (h)), DoDD 3020.40 (Reference (i)), and the CJCS Manual for the Operation of the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) (Reference (j)). b.  Establishes policy, assigns responsibilities, and establishes procedures for the execution of the DoD Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Survivability Policy (including electromagnetic pulse (EMP)).

c.  Establishes the policy to identify all mission-critical systems (MCS) and specify the subsets that must survive and operate in chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) environments, nuclear environments, or combined CBRN environments.

d.  Describes how CBRN MCS will be identified, reviewed, and considered in the context of Reference (h); the Defense Acquisition System established in References (d) and (e); the mission assurance construct established in Reference (i); balanced survivability assessments (BSAs)
described in DoDI O-3000.08 (Reference (k)); and the Missile Defense Agency Systems Engineering Plan (SEP) (Reference (l)), as appropriate.

e.  Requires that CBRN survivability be reported annually.


f.  Aligns and coordinates with the mission assurance construct from Reference (i) and DoDI
3020.45 (Reference (m)) in accordance with Reference (j) to support mission assurance of DoD capabilities and forces.

g.  Establishes the CBRN Survivability Oversight Group (CSOG) in accordance with DoDI
5105.18 (Reference (n)) to oversee execution of the DoD CBRN Survivability Policy. 2.  APPLICABILITY.  This instruction applies to the OSD, the Military Departments, the Office of the CJCS and the Joint Staff, the Combatant Commands (CCMDs), the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Defense, the Defense Agencies, the DoD Field Activities, and all other organizational entities within the DoD (referred to collectively in this instruction as the
"DoD Components"). 3.  POLICY.  It is DoD policy that:

a.  The force will be equipped to survive and operate in CBR or nuclear environments as a deterrent to adversary use of weapons of mass destruction against the United States, its allies, and its interests consistent with the DoD Strategy for Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction
(Reference (o)), Joint Publication 3-40 (Reference (p)), and DoDD 2060.02 (Reference (q)).  The ability of the force to operate in these environments must be known and assessed on a regular basis, and MCS that must survive and operate in CBR environments, nuclear environments, or combined CBRN environments will be specified. b.  All Acquisition Category 1 programs expected to operate in the environments identified in paragraph 3.a. of this section are designated CBRN MCS and must be CBRN survivable in accordance with the applicable key performance parameters (KPPs).  A cost-informed assessment of CBRN survivability alternatives must be conducted and results presented to the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) and the Defense Acquisition Board (DAB).  The JROC will approve requirements for CBRN survivability or mitigations involving any combination of doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, and facilities, and the DAB will approve the acquisition strategy.

c.  CBRN MCS are survivable in accordance with the CBRN survivability requirements identified in their requirements documents (e.g., initial capabilities document (ICD), capability development document (CDD), capability production document (CPD)).  The attributes and values establishing the threshold and objective requirements and whether the system or infrastructure is mission-critical will be stated clearly in the system or infrastructure's requirements documents.

(1)  Material measures or remediation of CBRN survivability vulnerabilities will be used to ensure CBRN survivability of DoD CBRN MCS. (2)  The CBRN survivability of MCS should be assessed regularly throughout the system or infrastructure's life cycle to ensure that CBRN survivability is maintained (or improved), as necessary.

d.  As directed by the DAB, all CBRN MCS under development as DoD acquisition programs must include in the SEP how the design incorporates the CBRN survivability requirements and how progress toward these requirements is tracked and documented over the acquisition life cycle.  Legacy CBRN MCS undergoing requirements document reviews must also include CBRN threats, the CBRN mission-critical designation, and CBRN survivability in the requirements documents.

e.  Mission-critical nuclear command and control (NC2) communications system equipment, other mission-critical National Leadership Command Capability (NLCC) systems as required, and nuclear and EMP-survivable MCS must be nuclear hardened, have a hardness assurance (HA) program, and have a continuing hardness maintenance and hardness surveillance (HM/HS)
program.  The program must be consistent with definitions outlining NC2 and HM/HS
requirements in References (f) and (g), CJCSI 6810.01C (Reference (r)), and DoDD S-3710.01 (Reference (s)). 4.  RESPONSIBILITIES.  See Enclosure 2. 5.  PROCEDURES.  See Enclosure 3. 6.

## Enclosure 3 Procedures

 1.  The procedures in this enclosure are in accordance with References (d) and (e).  The Missile Defense Agency follows the acquisition process established in Reference (l), DoDD 5134.09
(Reference (ac)), and Missile Defense Agency Standard 003 (Reference (ad)).  Other Defense Agencies may supplement References (d) and (e) as approved by the appropriate authority. 2.  Sponsors may use the decision tool in Figure 1 of this instruction to decide whether a system or infrastructure is mission-critical and CBRN mission-critical.

a.  The Joint Staff will provide guidance on the identification of MCS, as needed, to amplify the decision tool.  The Joint Staff will also provide coordination and oversight of the CBRN
survivability initiatives and issues to JROC and CCMDs and ensure that multi-Service CBRN
MCS have integrated CBRN survivability requirements.  The system or infrastructure's CBRN mission-critical designation and justification will be included in its requirements documents.

b.  The CBRN survivability requirement and attributes will be supported by threat assessments, analysis, and the operational concept in the projected operating environment.

(1)  A CBRN threat analysis will be included in the Threat Summary section in the ICD, CDD, and CPD. (2)  The CBRN MCS designation will be included in all CDDs and CPDs for MCS. (3)  The Joint Staff will review CBRN MCS requirements documents to ensure that CBRN threats are included in the ICD and that the CBRN mission-critical designation and CBRN survivability attributes are included in the CDD and CPD.

c.  AoAs support the determination of appropriate KPPs, key system attributes, and other attributes for CBRN survivability, where appropriate.

d.  The concept of operations will describe how the desired capability is likely to be employed in CBR environments, nuclear environments, or combined CBRN environments for inclusion in the CDD or CPD. 3.  The attributes and values establishing the threshold and objective requirements will be clearly stated in the CDD and CPD.  The standards used to establish the criteria will be clearly stated in the TEMP.  The CBDP T&E Executive and Director, DTRA, will support development of TEMPs.  The CBDP T&E Executive is the delegated approval authority for test standards for CBRN defense materiel that require the use of chemical, biological, or radiological warfare agents or their simulants in accordance with DoDD 5160.05E (Reference (ae)).


a.  The sponsor will include objective, quantitative, measurable, and testable CBRN
survivability performance attributes with threshold and objective requirements.  Where appropriate, the CBRN-related attributes will be included in the force protection or survivability KPPs.



b.  The Joint Staff ensures that CBRN mission-critical infrastructure and equipment of the NC2 communication system are nuclear hardened and CBRN-survivable in accordance with References (f), (r), and (s) as well as applicable military standards.  For systems and infrastructure covered by References (f), (r), and (s), nuclear survivability (including EMP
hardening) must be included in the survivability KPP. 4.  The sponsor will submit requirements documents for review to the gatekeeper of the JCIDS process in accordance with Reference (h).

a.  The review process will ensure that all requirements documents submitted state the system or infrastructure's CBRN mission-critical designation.  In accordance with Reference (h), DoD stakeholders may review requirements documents in the JCIDS process and provide comments through the Knowledge Management/Decision Support system.

b.  For programs designated as JROC or JCB interest, JROC or JCB will validate the designation as CBRN mission-critical; change the designation, as necessary; and validate the CBRN survivability requirements.  JROC or JCB will also validate the CBRN survivability requirements if they have been identified as a KPP included in the force protection or survivability KPP.

c.  If the comment submitter and program sponsor are unable to reach resolution regarding CBRN mission-critical designation of a non-JROC interest system or infrastructure, parties will bring the discrepancy to the appropriate FCB for adjudication.

d.  The JROC, JCB, and FCBs will invite the OIPT lead, ASD(NCB), and DoD CIO (for acquisition programs associated with DoD CIO areas of responsibility) to JROC, JCB, and FCB meetings involving CBRN MCS.

e.  The Military Departments' validation authority will validate CBRN survivability requirements for non-JROC or -JCB interest MCS.  CBRN survivability will be demonstrated through a combination of tests, evaluations, assessments, studies, and analyses, as described in the TEMP. 5.  Nuclear weapons systems, NC2 systems (as identified by the Joint Staff) and associated facilities and equipment are CBRN MCS and must be CBRN-survivable and nuclear hardened in accordance with References (f), (r), and (s).


6.  To change CBRN survivability KPPs, the sponsors will revalidate the requirements document through the JCIDS process.

a.  As early as possible in the system or infrastructure definition or development, the sponsor or materiel developer may seek a change in CBRN survivability requirements that are impractical or unaffordable to implement.

b.  Any changes in CBRN survivability requirements will be approved by the same authority that approved the requirements document(s), unless otherwise delegated by the original validation authority.  Requests for waiver or deviation from existing CBRN survivability requirements must be granted by the same approval authority. 7.  PMs of systems or programs designated as CBRN mission-critical will document progress toward CBRN survivability requirements in the applicable Service CBRN MCR.

a.  The SEP will document how the design will incorporate the CBRN survivability requirements and how progress toward these requirements will be tracked and documented over the acquisition life cycle.  Program managers will ensure the SEP describes how the design will incorporate the CBRN survivability requirements and how progress toward these requirements will be tracked and documented over the acquisition life cycle.

b.  To maximize DoD's return on investment, reduce risk, and reduce development and life cycle costs, the materiel developers should seek the guidance of the CBRN subject matter experts, products, and programs in the OASD(NCB).


8.  Materiel developers will work with the operational test agencies, the office of the D,DTE&A, the office of the CBDP T&E Executive, DTRA, and the Military Services to develop T&E
strategies and TEMPs that realistically assess the CBRN survivability capabilities against requirements validated in the ICD, CDD, and CPD.

a.  Materiel developers:

(1)  Should apply lessons learned on successful implementation of CBRN survivability measures in legacy acquisition programs. (2)  Will provide CBR survivability T&E data to sponsors and the Defense Technical Information Center for subsequent inclusion in the CBME database using the process outlined in Test Operating Procedure 8-2-502 (Reference (af)). (3)  Will provide all T&E data to the D,DTE&A and DOT&E for those programs under OSD T&E oversight.

b.  The Military Departments will ensure that the TEMP describes how the T&E strategy will meet validated CBRN survivability requirements stated in the CDD and CPD for all CBRN MCS.


9.  MDAs will ensure the SEP documents how the CBRN survivability requirements are incorporated and how progress is tracked and documented.  The ASD(NCB) will advise the MDA concerning CBRN survivability requirements for each CBRN MCS program.

a.  In accordance with Reference (ae), the Secretary of the Army is the DoD Executive Agent for the CBDP.  The Secretary of the Army:
(1)  Through the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense, provides technical advice on CBR contamination survivability to materiel developers.

 (2)  Through the CBDP T&E Executive:
(a)  Provides CBRN defense test standards for CBRN survivability. (b)  Supports the assessment of T&E infrastructure and the identification of essential requirements to support DoD CBRN Survivability Policy initiatives.

b.  The tracking of CBRN survivability requirements in the SEP:

(1)  Provides the MDA the ability to assess a system or infrastructure's compliance with CBRN survivability requirements. (2)  Documents the program office's CBRN survivability strategy as well as how this strategy leads to successful deployment of a CBRN-survivable system.  Considering CBRN survivability requirements early in the acquisition process where the design can be influenced, and re-assessing periodically thereafter as the design matures, is critical to fielding a CBRN- survivable system. 10.  The Director, Joint CBRN Defense PAIO:
a.  Advises the ASD(NCB) on system-level CBR contamination survivability and helps the ASD(NCB) as outlined in Reference (ae).

 b.  Develops the scope of and maintains the CBME database.

## Part Ii.  Definitions

 Unless otherwise noted, these terms and their definitions are for the purpose of this instruction. BSA.  Defined in Reference (k). CBR contamination survivability.  The capability of a system and its crew to withstand a CBR contaminated environment, including decontamination, without losing the ability to accomplish the assigned mission.  The three main principles of CBR contamination survivability are hardness, decontaminability, and compatibility. CBR environments.  The environment created by chemical, biological, or radiological contamination. CBR hardness.  The capability of materiel or a system to withstand the damaging effects of CBR contamination and any decontaminants and procedures required to decontaminate it. CBRN MCS.  An MCS with operational concepts requiring employment and survivability in CBR environments or nuclear environments. CBRN survivability.  The capability of a system to avoid, withstand, or operate during and after exposure to a CBRN environment (and decontamination process) without losing the ability to accomplish the assigned mission.  CBRN survivability is concerned with contamination that includes fallout and initial nuclear weapon effects, including blast, EMP, and other initial radiation and shockwave effects. combat developer.  Command or agency that formulates doctrine, concepts, organization, materiel requirements, and objectives.  May be used generically to represent the user community role in the materiel acquisition process. compatibility.  Defined in Reference (ab). decontaminability.  Defined in Reference (ab). decontamination.  The process of making any person, object, or area safe by absorbing, destroying, neutralizing, making harmless, or removing chemical or biological agents or removing radioactive material clinging to or around it. DCI.  Defined in Reference (i). defense critical system.  Defined in Reference (ab).

DODIN.  The globally interconnected, end-to-end set of information capabilities and associated processes for collecting, processing, storing, disseminating, and managing information ondemand to warfighters, policy makers, and support personnel, including owned and leased communications and computing systems and services, software (including applications), data, and security. EMP.  The electromagnetic radiation from a nuclear explosion caused by Compton-recoil electrons and photoelectrons from photons scattered in the materials of the nuclear device or in a surrounding medium.  The resulting electric and magnetic fields may couple with electrical or electronic systems to produce damaging current and voltage surges.  Depending on the burst type, can cause power spikes ranging from several hundred volts per meter up to more than one million volts per meter.  Can cause component or sub-system burnout or degradation and system upset. EMP survivability.  The capability of a system to withstand exposure to an EMP environment without losing the ability to accomplish its designated mission throughout its life cycle.  EMP survivability may be accomplished by hardening, timely re-supply, redundancy, mitigation, techniques (including operational techniques), or a combination thereof. fallout.  The residual radiation hazard from a nuclear explosion.  Includes radioactive dust and debris created when the bomb explodes.  It consists of hot particles (small highly radioactive particles) which present significant health hazard when ingested or entered into the body by other means. functional leads.  Each education specialty has a functional lead.  That individual manages the array of educational requirements associated with the specialty to ensure that acquisition community members have the right training to serve in the positions to which they are assigned. HA.  The procedures applied during production of a hardened system (and through periodic validation testing, as required) to make sure that the hardness built into the system is retained throughout the life of the system. hardness maintenance.  Procedures applied during the operational phase of a hardened system to make sure that the hardness built into the system is retained throughout the life of the system. hardness surveillance.  Inspection and test procedures that are conducted during the operational life of the system to ensure that the designed hardness of the system is not degraded through operational use, logistic support, or maintenance actions. initial nuclear radiation.  The neutron, gamma, and x-ray radiation occurring immediately following a nuclear burst. legacy system or infrastructure.  Systems or infrastructure with operations and maintenance funding.

materiel developer.  The organization responsible for research, development, and acquisition of materiel systems or infrastructure in response to capabilities documents. MCS.  A system whose operational effectiveness and operational suitability are essential to successful mission completion or to aggregate residual combat capability.  If this system fails, the mission likely will not be completed.  Such a system can be an auxiliary or supporting system, as well as a primary mission system. mission assurance.  A process to protect or ensure the continued function and resilience of capabilities and assets - including personnel, equipment, facilities, networks, information and information systems, infrastructure, and supply chains - critical to the performance of DoD mission essential functions in any operating environment or condition. NC2.  The exercise of authority and direction by the President and designated commanders over assigned and attached forces. NC2 system.  The combination of facilities, equipment, communications, procedures, and personnel essential for planning, directing, and controlling nuclear weapons, weapons systems, and associated operations. NLCC.  Defined in Reference (s). nuclear environments.  The environment created by initial nuclear weapon effects (e.g., air blast, thermal radiation, initial nuclear radiation, and EMP) and by radiation in space. nuclear hardening.  The employment of any design or manufacturing technique to an item or system or infrastructure that allows it to resist malfunction (temporary or permanent) and degraded performance induced by nuclear weapon effects. nuclear survivability.  The capability of a system or infrastructure to withstand exposure to nuclear environments without suffering loss of ability to accomplish its designated mission throughout its life cycle.  Nuclear survivability may be accomplished by hardening, timely resupply, redundancy, mitigation techniques (including operational techniques), or a combination. Includes EMP survivability. operational test agencies.  The Army Test and Evaluation Command, the Navy Operational Test and Evaluation Force, the Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center, the Marine Corps Operational Test and Evaluation Activity, and the Joint Interoperability Test Command. preventive maintenance checks and services.  The care, servicing, inspection, detection, and correction of minor faults before these faults cause serious damage, failure, or injury. sponsor.  Defined in Reference (j).
