A Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear Marine conducts point surveillance during a simulated mission at Boondocker Training Area aboard Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Sept. 2, 2015. During point surveillance, Marines must visit numerous checkpoints where they use an AN-PDR 77, a device that detects and measures alpha, gamma and x-ray radiation. During the training mission, a simulated detonation of highly enriched uranium radiological dispersal device was performed and the Marines needed to locate the presence of gamma radiation.

During the training mission, a simulated detonation of highly enriched uranium radiological dispersal device was performed and the Marines needed to locate the presence of gamma radiation. Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 463 provided aerial support for the CBRN Marines. Training like this directly supports the mission of MCB Hawaii by sustaining combat readiness while utilizing the base’s capabilities to its full potential. ( Marine Corps photo by Cpl.
