What is NBC CTS?

The Nuclear Biological Chemical Casualty Training System (NBC CTS) is a networked simulation which simulates the NBC battlefield.  Users have the option of choosing to play command or medical roles, during the exercise.  Command roles are responsible for managing evacuation assets, supplies and disseminating information to subordinate units.  Command roles that may be played are: Medical Logistics Battalion (MEDLOG), Medical Evacuation Battalion (MEDEVAC), Medical Brigade (MEDBDE), or Medical Group (MEDGRP).  Medical roles are responsible for the management of casualties and their designated medical treatment facility.  Medical roles that may be played are: Battalion Aid Station (BAS), Forward Support Medical Company (FSMC), Main Support Medical Company (MSMC), or Combat Support Hospital (CSH).  The list of available units is completely customizable, based on the requirements of the training audience.
