U.S. Response: WMD Civil Support Team Tests for Agents Daily in N.Y.C. A U.S. National Guard Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team is conducting daily tests for biological agents in New York City, the New York Times reported today (see GSN, March 17). The team makes recurring, almost daily visits to as many as 30 sites in the city, including hotels, tourist attractions, government buildings and office buildings, the Times reported. The 22-member civil support team from Scotia, N.Y., is one of 32 such units in the United States, but it is the only one conducting such tests. The team travels in unmarked vehicles with New York City police officers and trades military dress for indistinguishable blue uniforms, according to the Times. The unit works with a $600,000 annual budget, according to officials (William Rashbaum, New York Times, April 22).
