Abstract

The involvement of military veterinary in responding to bioterrorism is anchored in Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (CBRN Defense). This study aimed to analyze the actions of military veterinarians from other nations in CBRN Defense, identifying technical and laboratory skills for these specialists, proposing trainings and courses in Friendly Nations and new doctrinal manuals in this field. This is a bibliographical review, in which manuals of Armed Forces from other countries like United States and Portugal were consulted. Thus the main CBRN attributions developed by veterinarians from Brazilian Army and from other countries were identified. This review concluded that a deeper knowledge in other countries doctrinal, combined with the development of international cooperation activities, would enhance the contribution of military veterinarians in defense against CBRN agents.
