Marine Corps Warfighting Publication (MCWP) 3-37, MAGTF Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Defense Operations, addresses the planning and execution of NBC defense operations within the Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF). It sets forth the doctrinal foundation for all subsequent Marine Corps publications on nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) defense. This publication is designed for commanders, their staffs, and the individual Marine responsible for the planning, execution, and, ultimately, operations of amphibious and expeditionary operations conducted in an NBC environment. MCWP 3-37 also identifies responsibilities and provides MAGTF NBC guidance for organizational structure, personnel functions, and command and staff relationships. Standardization Agreement (STANAG) 2150, NATO Standards of Proficiency for NBC Defense, has been implemented in this publication.
