DUGWAY PROVING GROUND, Utah – US Army Reserve CBRN units will descend upon Dugway Proving Ground in Spring of 2024 to hone their skills. Red Dragon is a new training event taking place at DPG that will prepare Army Reserve forces for to deploy, fight, and win against any adversary.
Red Dragon will emphasize individual and collective training tasks to significantly increase chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear technical proficiency. “It is extremely difficult to simulate chemical and biological weapon employment at our traditional training installations,” says Captain Joshua J. Donaldson of the 76th Operational Response Command. “Red Dragon 2024 is a proof of concept that has the potential to become a premier training exercise for CBRN Soldiers across all three components.”
The exercise will take place over the course of 3 weeks and feature classroom instruction, simulations in the field, and war games involving CBRN threats. Trainees will learn from Dugway subject matter experts on detection, sampling and decontamination. The unique combination of geography and subject matter experts found at Dugway Proving Ground provide training that cannot be replicated at any other installation. Approximately 425 personnel will be in attendance and organizers hope to make this a yearly training event.
