Program detail
Mission & acquisition strategy
This program element (PE) resources to research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) management support as a key enabler across the Understand, Protect, Mitigate, and Enabling Investments portfolios. Chemical and Biological Defense Program (CBDP) investments provide an integrated, layered capability to enable Department of War (DoW) missions in a chemical and biological environment, ranging from combat operations to domestic incident prevention and response. The Projects in this PE support sustainment and modernization of laboratory infrastructure, test capabilities, studies and analyses, Joint doctrine and training, and program and financial management support.
