DGI helps the U.S. military warfighter’s protect military installations and forces from WMD effects.
Protection of Military Operations
DGI has been instrumental in enhancing the U.S. military warfighter’s capability to protect military installations and forces from WMD effects and to restore operations, if a WMD attack actually occurs.
  • DGI provided program integration and management support on the Restoration of Operations (RESTOPS) ACTD for U.S. Air Forces in South Korea. RESTOPS demonstrated technologies and procedures needed to quickly restore operations at an airfield following a chemical biological (CB) attack. DGI led the way in demonstrating tools and technologies to mitigate effects of CB attack; in developing plans, tactics and procedures for restoring operations at fixed sites; and incorporating lessons learned into Joint and Service doctrine.

  • DGI led implementation for DoD’s Joint Service Installation Pilot Project (JSIPP). Key contributions consisted of equipping nine DoD installations with CB detection and CBRNE emergency response equipment and assisting with CONOPS refinement for CBRNE defense of each installation.

  • DGI carried out worldwide study on Contamination Avoidance for Military Mail (CAFMM) that assessed operational vulnerabilities of the military postal system and the potential implication of anthrax dissemination via military mail by employing a robust numerical model. The study provided recommendations to the Joint Staff and the Military Postal Service Agency (MPSA) on how to better safeguard military mail.

  • DGI led support to U.S. Pacific Command for its Biological Weapons Countermeasures Program (BWCP), a follow-on activity to the RESTOPS ACTD. The DGI team assessed potential mass casualty and disease spread, prophylaxis shortfalls and coalition vulnerabilities through planning and executing of Combatant Command (COCOM) level exercises and workshops. DGI also enhanced peninsula-wide procedures in South Korea for both U.S. and Republic of Korea (ROK) forces by assessing BW defense procedures and drafting Concepts of Operation (CONOPs) for the safe handling and evacuation of BW samples to peninsula laboratories.
