Center challenges Coast Guard Hazardous Material Technicians

More than 100 Coast Guardsmen trained at the CDP in 2017, and 110 are scheduled to be trained in 2018.

In early August, 28 Coast Guardsmen attended the Hazardous Materials Technologies: Sampling, Monitoring and Detection (HT) course.

HT is a demanding five-day course that provides hazardous material (HAZMAT) technicians with an extensive hands-on training experience, including responding to multiple simulated chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or explosive (CBRNE) incidents at the CDP’s COBRA Training Facility.
