NDC: Biohazard Rapid Response Force

BRRF is a civilian/military joint project, with doctors, medical technicians, and soldiers working to identify, contain, eradicate, and prevent further outbreaks.

History

The Biohazard Rapid Response Force is a task force of scientists and soldiers that have been gathered to deal with bioweapons and biohazards. New Dusk Conclave had more than a few incidents they got roped into and enemies that used unethical means of fighting. Psychopomp LLC and Hades were two such groups; thankfully Hades was eliminated in short order after the death of their leader and the mastermind behind their operations, Thomas.

The virus carried by Parasite-Type Mishhuvurthyar has also been a struggle, as one of their members was a carrier. She died during the exodus in mid to late YE 40. It was clear after she turned and infected two other members of Bravo Prototype Force and made them carriers that a solution was desperately needed.

The BRRF was that answer.

Criteria for Enlistment (Military Personnel)

Rank: Any rank can submit a packet, though E5+ is recommended.
Training: Power Armor Certified, Decontamination Training, Hazardous Environment Training minimum
History: Not a factor.
Criminal Record: Friendly Fire, Failure to Follow Orders and Procedures, and Unmeritorious Misconduct1) disqualify.
Disposition: Applicant cannot be hesitant to open fire on infected, even if infected are civilians and/or colleagues. Being disturbed by the actions after the mission is acceptable, even healthy. Hesitation can be detrimental to the mission, and may cause mission failure, loss of personnel, and further loss of civilian life.

Structure

This department answers to the higher authority of NDC Internal Security Division, and has facilities attached to the headquarters of NDC Department Of Medical Services (D.O.M.S.). All military personnel assigned to this sub-division, are deployed actively as needed. They perform normal on base operation and duties when not, from city security, patrols, and other smaller duties usually performed in areas where normal military personnel are actively on duty. If deployed to AOs2) outside the city, they are housed in the same barracks as normal troopers. They however, are always working along side medical staff unless in a full combat operation.

In an outbreak condition of a new pathogen, three teams of BRRF will be dispatched. These are as follows:

Headquarters Team

Two doctors, one epidemiologist, one biochemist, one xenobiologist, one rifleman. All are combat trained and armed.

Lead Fire Team

Five riflemen/medics, one doctor, armed with Storm Rifles, tasked with initial attack on infection, whether by treatment of infected that still have their faculties, or by destruction of instances of hostile infection. Recovers an initial sample of pathogen for inspection by Headquarters Team.

Secondary Fire Team

Three riflemen/medics, one doctor, one xenobiologist, one biochemist, all combat trained. Loaded with BW-HPT 1 plasma/hydrazine burners, neutron devices, and hydrogen peroxide sprayers to sanitize areas cleared by Lead Fire Team, collect samples, and observe any reanimation and continued infectivity of pathogen. If necessary, provide continued treatment for stable infected and observe disease progression.

Known pathogens and other factors determine actual loadouts and personnel selection.

Equipment Standard

All personnel will wear Revenant SP1a Power Armor or equivalent, with seals run through PMCS semiweekly.

The armor will be painted with a high visibility yellow stripe from left shoulder to right hip, and from right hip to right foot. A biohazard marking symbol will be displayed on the right pauldron, with NDC flag on the left pauldron. For medical personnel, a Caduceus will be painted in high visibility white on the right side of the chestplate.

All personnel will be armed with either HAR-1, HAR1-2A, or BW-HPT weapons, with a yellow stripe around the muzzle. All personnel will carry field medical kits and samples of Sarah's Bacillum 3), in case of viral or nanomachine infection, and antimicrobial drugs for bacterial and fungal infections. All equipment will be capable of self destruct and dismantling for decontamination without opening neck or body seals.

1)
In some cases, violation of Rules Of Engagement (ROE) are warranted, merited, or necessary. On a case by case basis, these violations are reviewed and determined to be meritorious or unmeritorious based on positive/negative mission impact, necessity, and care taken to minimize negative consequences. In most cases of Meritorious Misconduct, the charge is recorded and no action is taken. Best case scenario is a promotable status marker and updated ROE. Unmeritorious Misconduct will have a profound negative impact on career advancement by disqualifying from many training regimens, forfeiture of pay, and/or reduction of rank by one to eighteen ranks, dependent on severity of offense.
2)
Area of Operations
3)
A bacteria native to Sirris VI's upper atmosphere that attacks and feeds on complex proteins, especially viruses, nano/femtomachines, and prions. This bacteria is responsible for the blood sepsis that led to the death of Sarah Pine in YE 41
