In the CBRN Recon Tasks, which step comes immediately after Collect?

• A. Mark
• B. Report
• C. Survey
• D. Detect

Answer: (C)

Collecting data or samples provides concrete measurements from a specific area, but it’s only a piece of the puzzle. Immediately after collecting, surveying the area expands and validates what you’ve gathered: you map the extent of the hazard, confirm boundaries, note terrain and wind clues, and identify where gaps in data remain. This step ties the collected information to real locations, giving you a spatial picture that directly informs where to focus further work and how to present the findings. By surveying first, you ensure subsequent actions—like marking hazard locations and reporting the results—are accurate and complete.
