Nearly 5,000 Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy, Coast Guard, and allied nation military personnel are expected to be trained at the facility next year.

“This state-of-the-art facility will ensure our soldiers, marines, sailors, and airmen have the critical skills and understanding they need.”

The enhancements for CDTF included modifications that transformed the gray masonry walls and institutional feel with 3D graphics and lighting, sound, and furnishings.

JPEO-CBRND Joint Program executive officer Douglas Bryce, who managed the initiative, said: “JPEO-CBRND’s involvement in the CDTF is an investment in our warfighters and those of our international allies.

“This state-of-the-art facility and the capabilities it houses will ensure our soldiers, marines, sailors, and airmen have the critical skills and understanding they need to fight and win in a CBRN environment.”
