About

Battlefield nuclear warfare (BNW) is the requirement to conduct continuous combat operations in the environment created by the presence of any nuclear capable systems before, during, or after nuclear weapon employment by either friendly or enemy forces. To fight and survive on the AirLand Battlefield, the battalion must train and must understand the concepts behind BNW, nuclear employment, NBC defense, and integrated warfare. These are distinct terms with different meanings and commanders and staffs must understand them so that they can train their units for these types of environments. NBC defense is nuclear, biological, and chemical defense collectively and involves the methods, plans, procedures, and training required to establish defense measures against the effects of an attack by any of these weapons. The term may not be used in the context of US offensive operations.
