The chemical defense brigade is a professional unit responsible for the protection of nuclear weapons and chemical weapons. The chemical defense team consists of chemical defense, fire fighting, smoke making and other departments (teams). Equipment mainly includes six basic types: observation, reconnaissance, protection, decontamination, fire breathing and smoke generation.

The main task of chemical defense forces is to protect nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and incendiary weapons; Conduct chemical and nuclear radiation reconnaissance and radioactive pollution observation; Organize the implementation of smoke screen guarantee; Cooperate with infantry to fight with burning weapons such as flame throwers. In addition, anti-chemical soldiers should also guide other troops to do a good job in nuclear and biochemical protection and assist local departments to organize the masses to carry out the above protection.

Extended data:

Most chemical defense units carry out preventive treatment and rescue treatment after the incident, but in the face of fire accidents, the primary task can only be to put out open flames and prevent secondary explosions or other secondary disasters, and then consider mobilizing the chemical defense team after on-site investigation.

At the beginning of the fire, it is impossible to mobilize the chemical defense group to put out the fire, especially the Tianjin explosion accident happened in the middle of the night. In order to avoid causing greater loss of personnel and property, fire officers and soldiers must rush to the front line without hesitation. Moreover, it takes a process to mobilize the chemical defense group, which involves the cooperation of many departments. It takes an emergency preparation time to mobilize professional equipment, and it takes some time for the troops to drive to the scene.
