Installation Emergency Response Teams provide emergency hazardous material response to installation surety sites at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Dugway Proving Ground and Pine Bluff Arsenal. They respond whenever the emergency is chemical or biological related. Bravo and Charlie Company personnel support this mission with two teams consisting of 20-30 personnel each. The number of personnel is tailored to the mission. Escort Teams from the U.S. Army Technical Escort Unit are the only DOD elements authorized to provide safe and lawful transport of chemical surety materiel worldwide.
Operations are all pre-planned and armed security is provided.
Both air and ground escorts are available. This page last updated on 26 June 2001. If you have any questions or comments, please email the U.S. Army Technical Escort Unit Public Affairs Office .
