S.2.1. The 100th Homeland Response Force (HRF) (Joint ARNG and ANG)
The HRF is located in the State of Virginia, which is northwest of the State of Columbia. This unit was developed beginning in 2010 as a result of the increasing need for a rapid, focused, and ready military support to civil authorities from the National Guard. AHRF is authorized in one State in each FEMA Region. Under the Virginia Army National Guard (VAARNG), the key HRF tasks include brigade- and battalion-level command and control, incident site security, search and extraction, decontamination, and medical triage. The HRF is under the direction of the Governor. Each HRF has 566 personnel: 196 for command and control, 200 for security, 75 for decontamination, 50 for search and extraction, and 45 for medical response. The HRF deploys by ground within 6–12 hours of a mission assignment.
S.2.2. The State of Ohio's CBRNE Enhanced Response Force Package (CERFP) (Joint ARNG and ANG)

COLNG does not have a CERFP but a team is located in the State of Ohio, northwest of the State of Columbia. This team is a State National Guard force that is designed to respond to a CBRNE incident within 6 hours. CERFPs locate and extract victims from a contaminated environment, perform mass patient/casualty decontamination, provide treatment as necessary to stabilize patients for evacuation and conducts search and recovery of fatalities (through Fatality Search and Recovery Team [FSRTs]) from a CBRNE-contaminated environment.

The CERFP team consists of approximately 186 soldiers and airmen. Each team has a command and control section, a decontamination element, a medical element, a casualty search and extraction element, and a fatality search and recovery element. The search and extraction function is assigned to an Army or Air National Guard engineer unit; decontamination elements are from an Army National Guard chemical company; medical elements are from an Air National Guard Medical Group. These organizations maintain their core mission but are given additional training and equipment to build on existing skills for accomplishing the CERFP mission.

CERFP teams function as either follow-on or pre-positioned forces working closely with deployed WMD-CSTs to provide a robust National Guard response capability. The CERFPs and WMD-CSTs provide a phased capability. CERFPs are specially trained to respond to a WMD incident. CSTs are National Guard personnel on active duty, whereas the CERFPs are comprised of National Guard units in a traditional reserve status. CERFPs can be mobilized for State Active Duty, under Title 32, or Federal Title 10 status.

In addition to their normal military equipment, CERFPs are issued state-of-the-art specialized commercial equipment that meets National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)/Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards.
