The Naval Treaty Implementation Program provides comprehensive arms control treaty support to Navy and Marine Corps commanding officers, program managers, senior leadership and decision-makers. 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)
