34th CST hosts regional, national partners for joint training exercise
Virginia National Guard Soldiers and Airmen assigned to the Fort Pickett-based 34th Civil Support Team participate in a Joint Hazard Assessment Team training exercise with members of the Maine National Guard’s 11th CST, the FBI, the Virginia Beach Fire Department and the Virginia Beach Police Department April 26, 2022, at the State Military Reservation in Virginia Beach, Virginia. During the three-day exercise, members of the JHAT survey teams conducted reconnaissance and collected samples of suspicious materials and packages in a military barracks. The 34th CST supports first responders during potential hazardous materials incidents involving possible chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or explosive threats and can identify unknown substances, assess current and projected consequences, advise an incident commander on response measures and assist with requests for additional state support.
