After graduating the course, each Marine will be qualified to enter a contaminated area, search the area, provide emergency first aid and provide assistance to nonambulatory patients. Regardless of their jobs, or military occupational specialty, every Marine with CBIRF is required to complete the course, making the unit uniquely qualified to respond with minimal warning to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive (CBRNE) threat.
