United States 1st MLG Marines use new technology during CBRN virtual training
United States 1st Marine Logistics Corps marines have conducted the first CBRN exercise using immersive virtual reality and alternate reality technologies within the Marine Corps CBRN community.
At an exercise at Camp Pendleton on 11 August 2026, marines practised reconnaissance, hazard identification and exploitation procedures using simulated contaminants during a training event that placed them in a realistic chemical, biological and radiological threat environment.
According to information published by DVIDS, this approach to training "helps reduce safety, resource and environmental challenges when executing conventional CBRN events".
A gallery of images from the exercise can be viewed here.
