DNDO Background DNDO was established, as an interagency office, on April 15,
2005 (NSPD 43/HSPD 14) and authorized by the 2006 SAFE Port Act “To improve the Nation’s capability to detect and report
unauthorized attempts to import, possess, store, develop, or transport nuclear or radiological material for use against the Nation, and to further enhance this capability over time.”
NSPD 17/HSPD 4) and authorized by the 2010 Nuclear Forensics and Attribution Act (P.L. 111-140) “To ensure an enduring national technical nuclear forensics
capability to strengthen the collective response of the United States to nuclear terrorism or other nuclear attacks.”

DNDO Vision and MissionVision: DNDO is building a national capability to support the goals and objectives of the Global Nuclear Detection Architecture.
Mission: DNDOs singular mission is to prevent nuclear terrorism. This is accomplished through the establishment of processes and procedures that allow stakeholders advancement in the development of their radiological and nuclear detection by:
Promoting awareness of the radiological and nuclear threat
Building RND knowledge and performance through technical and non-technical means
Fostering interoperability among stakeholders
Supporting the development and enhancement of long-term RND programs

Program Guidance
These documents guide our efforts in building a sustainable, defensible and deployable RND Prevention Training and Exercise capability
Westerfield / Training PM April 30, 2014
Program Challenges Developing RND program
and capabilities in the most vulnerable regions in the United States (i.e. UASI Tiers, Points of Entry)
Developing defensible, standardized training
Having accessible training Integration of training and
exercise resources Budgetary constraints Competing priorities

Using the POETE Model we assist local authorities design and deploy a layered detection network to optimize their chances of detecting, reporting, and disrupting a terrorist or rogue nation’s attempt to covertly deploy a rad/nuc device within the United States. DNDO also engages State and local authorities to assist in their prioritization of Federal support capabilities and to identify their requirements for the design and deployment of the GNDA’s domestic layer.

Developed Training Standards DNDO is developing qualifications and standards development
through NIMS standardization and typing.
Training standards will establish a baseline for consistency across agencies and will drive curricula being developed to support meeting these competencies
Provides a national benchmark and supports local decision-making about training.
Is Supportive of National Prevention Framework and Grant Guidance on Team Typing and Sustainability
Westerfield / Training PM April 30, 2014
Developed Training Partnerships EOTA - DNDO has an
established partnership with EOTA for assistance with RND training programs and processes.
CTOS - Supports OSD Training via analysis, course development and SME support.
ORISE - Development lead on equipment training modules.

T&E Accomplishments Training: 35 states have participated in RND training
Exercises: 20 of those states have conducted RND exercises
To date, approximately 27,000 law enforcement personnel and public safety officers have successfully completed RND training

Exercise Program Priorities
Utilize the HSEEP methodology to build a product base for direct use by stakeholders in developing GNDA exercises
Support, facilitate and/or conduct exercises to validate that the GNDA has interdependent systems and effective RND capabilities to detect, identify, and interdict nuclear materials that are out of regulatory control
Promote self-sustaining standards-based RND exercise programs that comply with HSEEP methodology and guidance
Integrate training curriculum and exercise evaluation methodology to effectively validate GNDA performance
Westerfield / Training PM April 30, 2014
Federal Engagements TSA - OSD supported development of the pilot and full
implementation of equipping Federal Air Marshals with a rad/nuc detection capability.
ICE - APD and OSD hosted a preliminary meeting to better understand the mission, area of responsibility, and scope of BEST teams.
CBP - APD and the Operations Support Directorate (OSD) hosted an initial meeting gauging CBP SOG’s interest in formalizing a RND program.
NGB - Working with the Concepts and Integrations Branch (CIB) to institutionalize RND training into the Civil Support Team (CST) training pipelines.
FLETC - Engaged in Awareness Training in two major FLETC Courses; Commercial Vehicle Counterterrorism Training Program (CVCTP) and Maritime Law Enforcement Training Program (MLETP)
FEMA - FEMA/NTED and OSD continue to collaborate on curricula reviews and course approvals.

Westerfield / Training PM April 30, 2014
Where are the Resources? If existing capabilities and capacities need to be supplemented
to reach a capability target, jurisdictions can build capability or fill gaps by establishing mutual aid agreements with surrounding jurisdictions.
It is possible that jurisdictions may require the resources of other levels of government to achieve a target and will need to collaborate closely with those external sources to secure the necessary resources.
Westerfield / Training PM April 30, 2014
How We Move Forward
Development and deployment of a domestic nuclear detection architecture requires the experience and participation of Federal, State and local entities.
DNDO is committed to building strong relationships with agencies currently engaged in preventive rad/nuc detection activities, as well as those who seek to establish such capabilities, to protect our nation and its interests against the nuclear threat.
Success of the DNDO mission will require strong partnerships with the preventive rad/nuc community

Final ThoughtsCrisis and catastrophe can impact the USA and almost any of its governmental units and people in a variety of ways from the spectrum of incidents or events threatened or that actually occur.
Core capabilities are those that are central to the Nation’s ability to achieve our National Preparedness Goal. Building our capabilities are essential and indispensable for the execution of the mission.
This will be a long term commitment and will build on what so far has been accomplished that meets resilience standards, goals, and objectives.
