Colonel Tat L. Pravecek was the Commander of the 5th Medical Group at Minot AFB, ND. The mission of the 5th Medical Group is to ensure nuclear surety and combat readiness through outstanding health care (nukes, boots and band-aids). She enables the Mighty Medics to deliver superior medical services for the 5th Bomb Wing, 91st Missile Wing and Minot's 12,500 beneficiaries. Colonel Pravecek was commissioned in May 1990 as a graduate from the United States Air Force Academy with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. She has served as a research toxicologist, instructor of chemistry, health risk assessment consultant, bioenvironmental engineer, weapons of mass destruction analyst, Air Force Research Laboratory staff officer, Senior Service School Fellow at Argonne National Laboratory, Squadron Commander for the 5th Medical Support Squadron at Minot AFB and AFMC Command Bioenvironmental Engineer. The other editors were associated with Battelle. The U.S. Air Force Counterproliferation Center was directed by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency to conduct a study to determine the Department of Defense's potential involvement in responding to an agroterrorist event. This resulting report details several possible roles for the DoD in a continental U.S. agroterrorist event. The findings will provide local, state, federal, and DoD policy makers with detailed information about current capabilities and future potential roles for the DoD in helping the nation prepare for, respond to, and recover a terrorist attack on U.S. agriculture. As part of its mission to defend the United States, the DoD, in conjunction with other state and federal agencies, must plan and prepare to deter, prevent, defeat, and mitigate threats against the agriculture and food system. There are many civilian agencies involved in the regulation and protection of agriculture, progressive disaster response to an agricultural event, DoD planning considerations, and impacts of an agricultural event on the Department of Defense. . This resulting report details several possible roles for the DoD in a continental U.S. agroterrorist event. To complete this report, the CPC identified subject matter experts in the following areas: (1) DoD response planning; (2) military manpower assessment; (3) plant and crop response; and (4) carcass disposal. These areas were chosen because each has a potential for DoD involvement. The findings will provide local, state, federal, and DoD policy makers detailed information about current capabilities and future potential roles for the DoD in helping the nation prepare for, respond to, and recover from a terrorist attack on U.S. agriculture. …
