TF-76 prepares to save lives and mitigate the suffering
U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers assigned to the 414th chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives (CBRNE) Company out of Orangeburg, S.C., decontaminate casualties after a simulated nuclear bomb explosion during Vibrant Response 17 at Camp Atterbury, Ind., May 7, 2017. The 414th CBRNE Company is assigned to Task Force 76 as one of their decontamination units. Vibrant Response 17 is an annual command post exercise that simulates the detonation of a nuclear bomb in a major city within the United States. This year it was integrated with Guardian Response 17 at Muscatatuck Urban Training Center, Indiana. The exercises enable emergency response organizations, both civilian and military, to integrate and provide relief during a catastrophic disaster. (U.S. Army Reserve Photo by Sgt. Stephanie Ramirez)
