4th Weapons of Mass Destruction - Civil Support Team

Please join the team tomorrow if you’re in the Smyrna area. Thx!

Love to have any / all past team members attend! What a run it’s been!

It was a bittersweet week for the 4th as we had the honor of retiring MAJ Steve McRae and his family after 27 years of faithful service and sacrifice. His leadership and care has been nothing short of amazing over the past 12+ years while assigned to the 4th WMD-CST. We are excited for Steve and Julie as they begin this next chapter!

Excited for the McRae family! Hope you can join us in the new annex building on 13 Sep!!!

The 2023 Hazard Ball was an incredible event! But, these attendees stole the show! Great food, fellowship, and tradition!

A special thanks to the pioneers who were part of this team in 2001! You set the bar high and we continue to hold it up there everyday!

Happy birthday to the 4th Weapons of Mass Destruction - Civil Support Team.

The 4th CST-WMD was organized and federally recognized Dec. 6, 2001. Comprised of 22 full-time Georgia Army and Air National Guard personnel, the 4th CST was one of the first ten such teams established by the Department of Defense. Since its establishment, the 4th CST has been active around the state and nation providing comprehensive expertise for chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear response. Based at Dobbins, Air Reserve Base, the unit is capable of deploying 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to assist Georgia and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. In addition to emergency response, the 4th CST supports large-scale public events and routinely trains with state and federal agencies to maintain proficiency.

The 4th CST would like to personally thank, Greg Haines and Shannon Richardson, for hosting the team while training last week in Blue Ridge, Ga. It was a tremendous DECON focused training week and what a way to capstone the event. Thx!

Our future is bright because we have the very best on this team!

The Cmd Team had the honor of presenting COL Shane Strickland the first-edition “Gold” team member 4th WMD-CST clock. COL Strickland’s involvement/leadership/mentorship has significantly impacted the team over the past 10 years. We wish him and his family the very best on their transition. “Tip of the Spear”

The families of the 4th spent a great afternoon together in celebration of the holidays, each other, a great year behind us, and an exciting year ahead! Wow, look at all of those kids!!

The Georgia Army National Guard Army and Air members of the 4th WMD-CST (along with a few of our kids!) were proud and honored to stand side-by-side with members of our local community in preparing the Georgia National Cemetery for Wreaths Across America - Official Page this year. Many community groups, friends, and families will be laying Remembrance wreaths this weekend on the graves of our fallen heroes and saying the name of each and every veteran aloud.
