About: The events of 11 September 2001, led to the immediate Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) response capability of the CF to be assigned to a new dedicated high readiness unit, the JNBCD Company. Since 1 February 2006 this unit has been a part of CANSOFCOM. Its name was officially changed to the CJIRU-CBRN in September 2007. This unit, still in the process of being fully developed, has three key mandates.
Mission: To provide specialized, timely and agile CBRN response to the Government of Canada.
Tasks/Mandates:
- Respond to CBRN events in conjunction with other elements of the National CBRNE Response Team;
- Provide an agile integral part of the CANSOFCOM Immediate Reaction Task Force (IRTF); and
- Specialized support to CF expeditionary operations.
