description: This is the official Pentagon document describing the pre-planned procedures in the event of an accident or emergency involving a nuclear weapon or any nuclear or radiation incident involving a radiological release. The foreword states: "This manual has been developed by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) under the authority of the Department of Defense. Its use is mandatory by all DoD components. This manual provides planners for Combatant Commanders, the Services, Response Task Force Commanders, and Initial Response Force (IRF) commanders with the information necessary to understand the overall response concept and provides guidance in conducting site remediation activities following an accident involving a nuclear weapon in DOD custody or other types of radiological accidents or incidents. It assumes that a radiological release of some magnitude has occurred and that some remediation of the affected land is required This manual will be widely disseminated and made available to all commanders and staff who are tasked to primarily respond to a nuclear weapon accident and, secondarily, to radiological accidents or incidents. It should serve as a guide for more detailed planning by response forces ! and will be used to improve training and exercise programs."
