CBRN: All About Military! Trivia Quiz - Quiz

Nowadays that the rate of terrorism leading to war and genocide is alarming, the use of sophisticated weapons is very rampant across. CBRN defense is the protective measures given to the security personnel for protection against hazard that might results from nuclear weapons, biological weapons and others.


Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    What is the replacement for the Cold War term "NBC"?

    • A. 

      ABC 

    • B. 

      CBRN 

    • C. 

      BBC

    • D. 

      ANBC 

    Correct Answer
    B. CBRN 
    Explanation
    The replacement for the Cold War term "NBC" is "CBRN." CBRN stands for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear, which refers to the types of weapons and threats that were a major concern during the Cold War. This term encompasses a broader range of potential dangers compared to the term "NBC," which only refers to Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical.

    What does R stands for in CBRN? 

    • A. 

      Radiological 

    • B. 

      Radioisotopes 

    • C. 

      Radiography

    • D. 

      Radiographer

    Correct Answer
    A. Radiological 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Radiological. In the context of CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear) defense, the "R" stands for Radiological. This refers to the study and management of radiation hazards, including the detection, protection, and decontamination of radioactive materials.

    What are called the dirty bombs? 

    • A. 

      Chemical weapons 

    • B. 

      Radiological weapons 

    • C. 

      Nuclear weapons 

    • D. 

      Biological weapons 

    Correct Answer
    B. Radiological weapons 
    Explanation
    Radiological weapons are called dirty bombs. These weapons use conventional explosives to disperse radioactive materials, causing contamination and potentially harmful radiation exposure. Unlike nuclear weapons, which rely on nuclear reactions, dirty bombs do not produce a nuclear explosion. Instead, their main purpose is to spread radiation and create fear and panic. The use of dirty bombs can have severe consequences for both human health and the environment.

    Which of these wars was the NBC used lastly? 

    • A.

      World War I 

    • D. 

      World War II 

    Correct Answer
    A. Cold War 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Cold War. The NBC, which stands for Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical, refers to weapons and warfare involving nuclear, biological, and chemical agents. The Cold War was a period of political tension and military rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union from the late 1940s to the early 1990s. Although there were no direct military conflicts between the two superpowers during the Cold War, both sides heavily invested in nuclear weapons and other NBC capabilities as a deterrent. Therefore, the Cold War was the last war in which NBC was used.

      CBRNe

    • D. 

      NBQ

    Correct Answer
    C. CBRNe
    Explanation
    CBRNe was introduced as an extension of CBRN. CBRN stands for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear, which represents the four main categories of threats. The addition of the "e" in CBRNe includes the consideration of explosives as a potential threat. This extension acknowledges the evolving nature of security threats and the need to address the possibility of explosive attacks in addition to the traditional CBRN hazards.

  • 7. 

    Which of these is a nuclear warfare? 

    • A. 

      Atomic bomb 

    • B. 

      Riffle 

    • C. 

      Grenade 

    • D. 

      RPG 

    Correct Answer
    A. Atomic bomb 
    Explanation
    An atomic bomb is considered a form of nuclear warfare because it utilizes nuclear reactions to release a massive amount of energy in the form of an explosion. It relies on the process of nuclear fission or fusion to create a chain reaction that results in a devastating blast, causing widespread destruction and loss of life. Unlike conventional weapons like rifles, grenades, or RPGs, which rely on chemical reactions, an atomic bomb harnesses the power of nuclear reactions, making it a distinct and highly destructive weapon of nuclear warfare.

      Chemical 

    • D. 

      Biological 

    Correct Answer
    A. Atomic 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Atomic". This is because NBC stands for Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical, which are all related to warfare or defense. Atomic, on the other hand, refers to the study of atoms and atomic energy, which is not directly related to warfare or defense.

      Biological 

    Correct Answer
    A. Radiological 
    Explanation
    Radiological weapons are the latest among all the options listed. While all the other options (chemical, nuclear, and biological) have been in existence for several decades, radiological weapons are a more recent development. These weapons use radioactive materials to cause harm and destruction. They can contaminate an area with radiation, leading to long-term health effects and environmental damage. The development and use of radiological weapons have raised concerns due to their potential for widespread harm and the difficulty in detecting and mitigating their effects.

      Peacekeeping mission 

    • D. 

      Provision of protective measures 

    Correct Answer
    D. Provision of protective measures 
    Explanation
    The function of the CBRN is to provide protective measures. This means that their main role is to ensure the safety and security of individuals and communities by implementing measures to prevent and mitigate the risks associated with chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats. This can include developing protocols, providing training, conducting inspections, and coordinating responses in the event of an incident.
