Which organization maintains a Civil Support Team trained to respond to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive incidents?

• A. North Carolina National Guard
• B. Diversion and Environmental Crimes Unit
• C. SBI
• D. Environmental Protection Agency

Answer: (A)

Civil Support Teams are National Guard units trained to assist civilian authorities during chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive incidents. They provide on-site assessment, sampling, and incident coordination to help local responders manage and mitigate WMD-related events. In North Carolina, this responsibility is handled by the North Carolina National Guard, which maintains the CST for state-level response. The other organizations listed are not responsible for maintaining CSTs; they either focus on investigative duties or environmental protection and do not operate CSTs.
