The concerns of setting up in the European armies of special structures to
study the problems regarding the toxic gases of combat and to establish suitable measures for the training and protection of the troops during the actions of chemical contamination conditions were determined by the consequences of some of the actions of the first belligerents World war resulted in huge losses of human lives, on both sides, especially on the western front. Despite all the difficulties inherent in the beginning, the emergence of the first NBC defense structures in the Romanian Army constituted an objective necessity arising from the danger of the existence in the arsenals of the states of the toxic combat agents. The defense of NBC has gathered multiple strengths in recent years, but especially in the recent period when some nongovernmental or terrorist organizations also resort to radioactive materials, toxic and biological combat agents, practicing the illegal trafficking of NBC technologies and equipment, and information on arming. states with nuclear, biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction (ADMNBC) are increasingly confirmed. According to the provisions of "NBC Defense Doctrine in the Army Romania ", its functional components are: NBC prevention; NBC protection; RBC decontamination; aerosol masking; use of incendiary systems; participation in stability and support operations; medical support; weapon logistics. The role of NBC defense structures lies in their operational capacity to manage NBC / EADA situations, to ensure survival, to maintain freedom of action and to multiply the fighting power of the troops. The US is strengthening nuclear security by enhancing its nuclear detection architecture and ensuring that its own nuclear materials are secure. By establishing well-planned, well-rehearsed, plans for coordinated response, the United States will also ensure a capability that can dramatically diminish the consequences of chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear incidents. One of these capabilities is US Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense (CBRND) Program that gives US military forces capabilities to ensure they survive a CBRN attack and accomplish their mission. However, it is NATO that is currently very much focused on military security in Europe, and in particular in Europe’s Eastern sector following worrying reports that confirm that ISIL has gained at least temporarily access to former chemical weapons storage sites in Syria, Iraq and even Libya. It allegedly used toxic chemicals in the fighting around Kobane in Syria. NATO tools include the Combined Joint CBRN Defence Task Force, a strong military capacity created by volunteering Allies to be at the disposal of NATO in case of a WMD or CBRN attack. Regular training ensures its operational readiness. Intelligence sharing and reporting to Allies helps to identify potential threats. The Joint CBRN Centre of Excellence (COE), established by Allies in the Czech Republic, provides training and expertise to military customers and first responders in Allied and partner countries. It integrates a “Reach Back facility” operated 24/7 to react and provide scientific and operational advice in case of an attack, having access to a large secondary network of expertise in Allied countries. Other NATO COEs and agencies as well as Allied national military capacities are consistently reviewing, together with Allied civil protection forces including police and firefighters, preparedness plans against possible CBRN attacks. These response capacities are also regularly trained in exercises and are on standby in case of any attack, whether committed by state actors, ISIL members or lone wolf terrorists.
