00:01.210 --> 00:02.817
- [Jarren] Chemical,
Biological, Radiological,

00:02.817 --> 00:04.655
Nuclear Defense Specialists are tasked

00:04.655 --> 00:06.413
with handling hazardous material

00:06.413 --> 00:08.280
and training units to survive

00:08.280 --> 00:11.180
and operate in high-risk
CBRN environments.

00:11.180 --> 00:13.394
3rd Marine Division CBRN
is the only CBRN unit

00:13.394 --> 00:15.150
with repelling capabilities,

00:15.150 --> 00:18.110
but that ability doesn't come
without extensive training.

00:18.110 --> 00:19.298
- So the team today was presented

00:19.298 --> 00:22.784
with a multi-story structure
with an unknown chemical

00:22.784 --> 00:25.380
that was spilling out on the third floor.

00:25.380 --> 00:26.520
And what the team was able to do

00:26.520 --> 00:30.980
is using the detectors that
we have locate the hazard,

00:30.980 --> 00:31.943
make entry from the outside

00:31.943 --> 00:35.120
of the building using
the ropes and techniques,

00:35.120 --> 00:37.600
and then enter the room,
rescue two victims,

00:37.600 --> 00:40.570
and then remove the chemical
hazard from the building.

00:40.570 --> 00:42.270
- The fact that we are the only unit

00:42.270 --> 00:43.910
in the Marine Corps that has repelling

00:43.910 --> 00:46.140
and we have the rope
capability with rope rescue,

00:46.140 --> 00:47.850
it makes it so at any point wherever

00:47.850 --> 00:50.490
in the world if we're
needed, we can be there.

00:50.490 --> 00:51.567
- [Jarren] Reporting from Okinawa, Japan,

00:51.567 --> 00:53.743
I'm Marine Sergeant Jarren Burleson.
