Inspectors working with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency and Naval Treaty Implementation Program organize various inspection teams to inspect perceived points of interest during the International Chemical Weapons Convention exercise May 15, 2019, at Naval Weapons Station Charleston, Joint Base Charleston, S.C. The Naval Treaty Implementation Program is staffed with civilian personnel with expertise in the planning, organization and execution of Navy and Marine Corps implementation, compliance and verification activities. The purpose of the exercise is to test the response of base assistance teams should the U.S. receive an international challenge inspection under the Chemical Weapons Convention Treaty. The Chemical Weapons Convention aims to eliminate an entire category of weapons of mass destruction by prohibiting the development, production, acquisition, stockpiling, retention, transfer or use of chemical weapons by States Parties. Exercises like these support the Department of Defense’s priority of reformation and full spectrum readiness in the face of new challenges. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Cody R. Miller)
