Background

In December 2018, Congress passed the “Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Act of 2018,” which established that CWMD shall be responsible for coordinating with other Federal efforts and developing a strategy and policy for the Department to plan for, detect, and protect against the importation, possession, storage, transportation, development, or use of unauthorized chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) materials, devices, or agents in the United States and to protect against an attack using such materials, devices, or agents against the people, territory, or interests of the United States. CWMD’s mission is to counter attempts by terrorists or other threat actors to carry out an attack against the United States or its interests using a weapon of mass destruction (biological, chemical, nuclear, or radiological). All activities are aligned to prevent, protect against, and prepare for to the full spectrum of WMD threats to the Homeland. CWMD supports frontline operators by providing information, equipment, and expertise. Additionally, CWMD coordinates with the operators to determine their needs and requirements to execute their mission. This enables CWMD to provide the appropriate mission support and increase interoperability and data sharing across the operational partners. A significant chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapon event against the United States or our interests abroad would have profound and potentially catastrophic impacts worldwide. To counter these threats, the homeland security and law enforcement communities (federal, state, and local) charged to protect the homeland must understand the threats and be equipped with the most timely and relevant information available. The CWMD SSD directorate’s mission is to develop, acquire, and deploy effective counter WMD capabilities for operational partners. To efficiently deliver CWMD Support, SSD is broken down into five (5) Divisions: Research and Development (R&D), Rapid Capabilities, Test and Evaluation (T&E), Acquisition, and Program Integration and Mission Support.
