Topoff 4 Exercise

Members of the 93d Civil Support Team from the Hawaii National Guard, perform the extraction and decontamination of a dead victim after a simulated dirty bomb exploded as part of the Topoff 4 Exercise being conducted from 15-19 October. Topoff 4, (T4), is a Congressionally mandated, terrorism preparedness exercise, involving top officials at every level of government, as well as representatives from the international community and private sector. Sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Topoff 4 is the fourth exercise in the Topoff Exercise series. Each Topoff Exercise involves a two-year cycle of seminars, planning events, and exercises culminating in a full-scale assessment of the nation's capacity to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from terrorist attacks involving Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). T4 uses a series of exercise activities of increasing complexity, and simulates a terrorist WMD campaign with coordinated RadiologicaL Dispersal Device (RDD), or dirty bomb attacks in the states of Arizona and Oregon, and the U.S. Territory of Guam.
