Joint Functions III-33 or SecDef. JFCs should consider all individual, component, joint, and interorganizational partner capabilities available when planning and executing PR missions. For further guidance on PR, refer to JP 3-50, Personnel Recovery. (5) CBRN Defense. Preparation for potential enemy use of CBRN weapons is integral to any planning effort. Even when an adversary does not possess traditional CBRN materiel or weapons regarded as WMD, easy access to materials such as radiation sources and toxic industrial chemicals represents a significant planning consideration. The result of a CBRN attack may not be to achieve traditional military objectives, but instead have strategic, operational, psychological, economic, and political impacts. CBRN defense focuses on avoiding CBRN hazards (contamination), protecting individuals and units from CBRN hazards, and decontamination in order to restore operational capability. Effective CBRN defense may also deter enemy WMD use by contributing to the survivability of US forces. For additional guidance on CBRN defense, refer to JP 3-11, Operations in Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Environments, and JP 3-40, Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction. (6) Antiterrorism programs support force protection by establishing defensive measures that reduce the vulnerability of individuals and property to terrorist acts, to include limited response and containment by local military and civilian forces. These programs also include personal security and defensive measures to protect Service members, high-risk personnel, civilian employees, family members, DOD facilities, information, and equipment. Personal security measures consist of commonsense rules for the on- and off-duty conduct of every Service member. They also include employment of dedicated guard forces and use of individual protective equipment (IPE), hardened vehicles, hardened facilities, and duress alarms. Security of high-risk personnel safeguards designated individuals who, by virtue of their rank, assignment, symbolic value, location, or specific threat, are at a greater risk than the general population. Terrorist activity may be discouraged by varying the installation force protection posture through the use of a random antiterrorism measures program, which may include varying patrol routes; staffing guard posts and towers at irregular intervals; and conducting vehicle and vessel inspections, personnel searches, and identification checks on a set but unpredictable pattern. To be effective, these measures should be highly visible to any hostile elements conducting surveillance. For additional guidance on antiterrorism, refer to JP 3-07.2, Antiterrorism. (7) The intent of combat identification (CID) is to accurately distinguish enemy objects and forces in the operational environment from others to support engagement decisions. Effective CID supports force protection and enhances operations by providing confidence throughout the force in the accuracy of CID characterizations. Effective CID procedures help minimize fratricide and collateral damage. (a) Depending on operational requirements, CID characterization may be limited to, “friend,” “enemy/hostile,” “neutral,” or “unknown.” In some situations, additional characterizations may be required including, but not limited to, class, type,
