BRUSSELS, Nov. 30 (UPI) -- The European Defense Agency announced plans to organize a chemical, biological and radiological explosives ordnance disposal training exercise.
The EDA, with the Belgium Engineer Department, released plans to host the CBR Explosives Ordnance Disposal Table Top Exercise that will include training from experts as part of an effort to foster technical capabilities to counter improvised explosive devises, the EDA reported.
The evolving threat from an IED with chemical or biological material requires next-generation technologies and armed forces in Europe capable of responding to potential incidents. Officials say the exercise is scheduled from Dec. 6-11 at the Belgium Joint CBRN Center.
According to a news release "attack from CBR explosive devices, particularly in an asymmetric environment, is a significant concern for all European Armed Forces. … It is only a matter of time before such devices are brought to bear by adversaries."
