The mission of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Civil Support Teams (CSTs) is to support local and state authorities at domestic WMD/NBC (Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical) incident sites. According to lessons learned and recommendations from Doctrine, Training, Leader Development, Organization, Materiel, and Soldier Issues, there is a need to enhance both individual and collective training for CSTs. However, the costs and logistics associated with providing live training for representatives from disperse local and state organizations causes this type of training to be virtually non-existent. Therefore, providing a means for CSTs to conduct collective training via the web can potentially provide a significant benefit for these teams.
