It addresses concepts, principles, and TTP— to include planning, operational considerations, and training and support functions. It serves as the foundation for development of multiservice manuals and refinement of existing training support packages (TSPs), mission training plans (MTPs), training center and unit exercises, and service school curricula. It drives the examination of organizations and materiel developments applicable to NBC protection.
