Homeland Defense: National Guard Bureau Needs to Clarify Civil Support Teams' Mission and Address Management Challenges
To prepare for potential attacks in the United States involving
weapons of mass destruction (WMD), Congress approved the
development of National Guard Civil Support Teams (CST) tasked to
identify chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or
high-yield explosive weapons; assess consequences; advise civil
authorities on response measures; and assist with requests for
additional support. Thus far, 36 of the 55 approved teams have
been fully certified to conduct their mission. The National Guard
Bureau (NGB) is in the process of establishing, certifying, and
planning for the long-term sustainment of the CSTs. GAO was asked
to address the extent to which (1) the CSTs are ready to conduct
their mission and (2) effective administrative mechanisms are in
place for the CSTs.
