This instruction provides the staff and key agencies of higher headquarters, installations, and unit commanders with the policies, guidance, structure, and roles and responsibilities to prepare for, prevent, respond to, recover from, and mitigate threats to their mission. This instruction also includes guidance to plan, conduct, and evaluate Air Force EM exercises. NOTE: For differentiation purposes, the terms "CBRN" and "CBRNE" are defined below and in Attachment 1. CBRN. Operations that include chemical, biological, radiolog ical, and nuclear materials, either individu ally or in combin ation. Collectively known as weapons of mass destruction (WMD), CBRN replaces "Nuclear, biological, or chemical (NBC) " when used in reference to operations or incidents limited to WMD issues.
This interim change implements new guidelines that clarify requirements for the Air Force Emergency Management Program to include EMWG responsibilities in Chapter 2, Radiological Response requirements in Chapter 3, the All-Hazards Risk Management Process in Chapter 4, Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Defense and Air Force Incide nt Command System Position Based Training requirements, Tables 6.1., 6.2., 6.3., 6.4., Air Force Incident Management System (AFIMS) Education and Training Requirements defined in Chapter 6, and Air Force Emergency Management Exercise Requirements in Chapter 7. The reader must use this IC in conjunction with the publication, IC-1, IC-2, and these changes take precedence.

Paragraphs this edition names as changed:
Publications state their own changes on page 1 — behind a PDF the official host will not serve to a search engine. This is that section, verbatim. It describes the edition above, not every historical change.
