We Are JPEO

The Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND) manages our Nation’s investments in chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) defense equipment and medical countermeasures (MCMs).

The JPEO-CBRND is one of the four components of the Chemical and Biological Defense Program, led by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Chemical and Biological Defense. While JPEO-CBRND receives guidance and oversight from the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Chemical and Biological Defense, the organization’s acquisition authority comes from the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology (ASA(ALT)).

Learn more about the Joint Project Management offices for CBRN Protection, CBRN Medical, CBRN Sensors, and CBRN SOF, and the Joint Project Lead offices for CBRND Enabling Biotechnologies and CBRN Integration.
