The NG CERFP elements are comprised of traditional National Guard (M-Day) Soldiers and Airmen (supported by a small staff of full time Guardsmen in Title 32 status) who are trained and equipped to integrate into the National Incident Management System (NIMS) to plan and conduct casualty search and extraction, medical triage and treatment, ambulatory and non-ambulatory decontamination, and fatality search and recovery. When directed, the NG CERFP can be pre-positioned or respond using organic transportation to an incident to support the Incident Commander.
