Critical Resource Protection
Foundation
CRP Foundation
Prior to a CBRN attack, every installation must determine which equipment and assets can be:
- Stored
- Protected
- Covered
…to shield against contamination and damage.
Why CRP Matters
Why CRP Matters
Protecting these vital resources will minimize, or completely remove, the requirement to decontaminate them for mission use after an attack.
Resource Protection Priority
Resource Protection Priority
To the maximum extent possible, the following should be moved inside or covered:
- Aircraft
- Support vehicles
- Aerospace ground equipment
- Munitions
Bulk Supplies
Bulk Supplies
Bulk supplies should be placed in shelters or under overhead cover.
Barrier Material Protection
Barrier Material Protection
If equipment cannot be placed under overhead cover, it must be:
- Covered or wrapped with at least ONE layer of barrier material to prevent contamination
Two Layers Optimal
2 Layers Optimal
When possible, use TWO layers of barrier material to cover the tops of vehicles and equipment.
Why Two Layers
Why Two Layers
This will serve to ensure contamination can be:
- Removed
- Safely discarded
- Replaced, as necessary

Personnel should be trained and take care when removing barriers to prevent contamination transfer.
