Article Abstract:

Joint Operational Effects Federation (JOEF), a Pentagon chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapons (CBRN) program for protecting warfighters against non-conventional threats, is a consortium of two information products the Joint Warning and Reporting Network (JWARN) and Joint Exercise Model (JEM). The combination of JWARN and JEM could give Coast Guard decision-makers the ability to make automatic identifications of weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
