C.R.P. platoon

The C.R.P. Platoon, standing for Chemical Reconnaissance and Protection Platoon, was established in the early 1990s as part of a broader initiative to enhance battlefield survivability against chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threats. Initially formed within the structure of a larger support battalion, the platoon was tasked with early detection, monitoring, and decontamination operations during both training exercises and real-world deployments. Over the years, the C.R.P. Platoon participated in multiple multinational exercises, honing their expertise alongside allied forces and contributing vital reconnaissance capabilities during major operations in the Middle East. The unit's adaptability and technical proficiency have made it a critical component of the military's modern CBRN defense strategy.
