Per WP:NCA, the article title should be expanded to Chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapon, and as such, is clearly a synonym for weapons of mass destruction. — Michael Z. 2006-10-07 21:26 Z

I've got to agree with 131.92.100.60. There is a distinct difference between CBRN/E and WMD. Although sometimes used interchangeably by non-experts, they are NOT the same thing. A CBRN/E device may be a WMD, but the CBRN/E field encompasses much more. I doubt the WMD page discusses protective measures, for example. I'd like to expand this page, since it's a hot topic and getting a lot more press. Recent FISA passage, etc. I'll keep coming back for more editing, but I changed up some of the wording and definitions to make it a little more accurate.
Also, I don't think the definition of CBRNE as primarily a protective category is accurate, and that's a very narrow view of the field (131.92.100.60). Yes, protective measures included, but there's so much more that we haven't discussed in this page (counter/non-proliferation, classification of CBRNE, fields included, etc.). I suggest we all keep adding, adding, adding, because we've barely hit the tip of the iceberg. TehGus ( talk) 16:02, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
I'm wondering what everyone thinks about re-doing the headings. It seems a little odd that we have Canada and USMC as similar headings (if you get my drift...country/mil. branch). What does everyone think we should do? If we get this page a little bigger, we could do country sections at the bottom, leave the top to US-specific, and make that much more broad. Ideas?

I hit this looking for a wiki link from another article for either CBRN/E or B-NICE. I think B-NICE should be listed in the related acronyms at the top of the article. I also think a little explanation of the categories (particularly the difference between Nuclear and Radiological, and Incendiary vs Explosive in B-NICE). Use of the term should be expanded to be inclusive of other disciplines (emergency management for example, not just military). References to its worldwide use would be handy. Also, when the term was coined, why it replaced NBC, etc. Will do what I can as I have time. -- Parradoxx ( talk) 18:42, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I need to have another card ordered the one have is faded and it is hard to see my name and card number —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.17.129.22 ( talk) 19:59, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
This article is fatally muddled. It defines "chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear" as meaning weapons or incidents. That is illogical enough. CBRN, or more usually NBC or NBCR means, exactly what it says - it does not mean weapons or incidents. That requires a different title - like "CBRN weapons"! From that muddled start the article declines further. India has apparently ordered 16 CBRN incidents or weapons, or both!
I suggest that the article should refer only to the term CBRN, and discussion of the different terms for essentially the same topic, NBC etc. There should be separate articles on NBC weapons/incidents/protection.
Hi there, why is that "e" for "explosives" written with a small letter in the acronym while all other letters are majuscules? In other languages (which have adopted this abbreviation), it is usually written "CBRNE". Best, -- Bahrmatt ( talk) 09:34, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
Is there any point in referencing ABC → NBC → CBRN → CBRNE as being somewhat of a euphemism treadmill at least partially also driven by obscurantism and sense inflation? Has there been citable, sourceable discussion of it beyond informal grumblings? (My google-fu doesn't really turn up much on that point, and I realise that whatever I may or may not feel I'm aware of doesn't count here.) — ReadOnlyAccount ( talk) 11:44, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
