Pfc. Emil Reinwald, a decontamination technician with Company A, Chemical Biological Incident Response Force, II Marine Expeditionary Force, assembles the non-ambulatory decontamination line, so casualties on stretchers can be effectively decontaminated, during a training exercise at the McMillan Water Treatment Facility in Washington D.C., July 15, 2009. During a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or high-yield explosive incident, many casualties will probably be unable to walk. So, CBIRF has a system, where Marines can decontaminate those who will be debilitated. Corpsmen and medical officers respond to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosive incidents with CBIRF Marines and provide medical care in the contaminated area.
