They may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control or to deal with potentially horrific scenarios such as massive poisoning and chaos in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive, or CBRNE, ******.

Ya know how people tend to mention the primary purpose of something first and then mention other things that MIGHT happen to justify the first point? 'Civil Unrest'... from civilians.. who may or may not be homeless people living in these epidemic 'tent cities'.. G_d forbid just because they're unempoyed, homeless and 'not financially viable'.. they get unruly? Hmm. Oh well, nevermind. Terrorists are going to ****** us, right?

Oh ****, the very next line alludes to the my assumption.

The 1st BCT’s soldiers also will learn how to use “the first ever nonlethal package that the Army has fielded,” 1st BCT commander Col. Roger Cloutier said, referring to crowd and traffic control equipment and nonlethal weapons designed to subdue unruly or dangerous individuals without ******* them.

Nonlethal + Terrorists? Ehhhh.. No. Unruly crowds are going to be erupting here and there if the economy doesnt start a 180 and building back to some sort of normal equilibrium. At least that's their assumption, I wouldnt want to form an opinion of how big these tent cities are now.. nor a few months from now when their numbers swell further.

Just for kicks, I'd want to name a group of soldiers something cute so noone fears their presence during martial law.

The brigade will not change its name, but the ***** will be known for the next year as a CBRNE Consequence Management Response *****, or CCMRF (pronounced “sea-smurf”).
