Whatever

I don't think they are ever going away. Peppermint isn't bad. I didn't think Starbucks served it outside of Christmas season.

 

Yo WTF...

 

I tried to watch Nascar at one point. I have no hate for it or the fans. Many stereotypes about the fans obviously. There's certainly strategy but it's too much of a circular train. Not enough passing for my tastes.

 

I’m not watching. I’m
Working it.

 

And I’m not even getting paid for this shit

 

325 to
Go

 

What was that? What’s my job you say?

*gasp*

GATHER AROUND CHILDREN!

A Civil Support Team (CST) is a specialized unit within the United States National Guard designed to support local, state, and federal authorities in the event of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive (CBRNE) incidents. These teams are highly trained and equipped to detect, identify, assess, and advise on hazardous materials that may be used in terrorist attacks or accidental releases. Each CST operates under the dual authority of both state and federal governments, allowing them to respond rapidly to domestic emergencies while also integrating with broader homeland security efforts.

CSTs are composed of full-time National Guard personnel, typically consisting of 22 members from both the Army and Air National Guard. These individuals include specialists in fields such as medical response, hazardous materials handling, logistics, communications, and command and control. Each member undergoes extensive training in CBRNE response, and many hold certifications equivalent to or exceeding civilian hazardous materials experts. The diversity of expertise within a CST enables them to function as a self-contained rapid response force capable of operating in highly contaminated or dangerous environments.

The primary mission of a Civil Support Team is to assist civil authorities during domestic incidents by identifying hazardous agents and substances, assessing current and projected consequences, advising on response measures, and facilitating requests for additional military or federal support. They do not perform direct law enforcement or firefighting functions but instead act as a bridge between civil responders and federal military assets. Their role is especially critical in the early hours of an incident, when rapid identification of threats can be the difference between containment and escalation.

CSTs are designed to deploy within hours and can operate independently or in coordination with other emergency response units. They are equipped with mobile labs, communication suites, and decontamination equipment, allowing them to analyze unknown substances on-site and relay information to decision-makers in real time. These technological capabilities are crucial in maintaining situational awareness and enabling coordinated, informed responses.

In addition to emergency deployments, CSTs engage in regular training exercises with local first responders and public safety agencies. These joint exercises build interoperability and ensure that civil authorities are familiar with CST capabilities. This proactive engagement helps foster a national culture of preparedness and strengthens relationships between military and civilian emergency services.

Ultimately, Civil Support Teams play a vital role in the national security framework by serving as a critical first line of defense against unconventional threats. Their ability to rapidly assess and advise in complex hazardous situations provides essential support to civilian leadership and helps safeguard public health and safety during some of the most dangerous and uncertain scenarios imaginable.
