RAF MILDENHALL, England -- For those deploying, it's absolutely vital they know how to don and use chemical warfare equipment in a very limited amount of time. 

The 100th Civil Engineer Squadron Readiness and Emergency Management Flight here provides Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense training to Airmen to ensure they are able to do what it is needed to survive a CBRN attack. 

Unit schedulers register Airmen from their squadron for practical training held Tuesdays and Thursdays. There are between five and 10 classes each month.
