Why USCHTA Matters
Every day, CBRN and HAZMAT technicians stand ready to respond to the unthinkable. You are the guardians who run toward danger when others run away—protecting communities, securing critical infrastructure, and defending our nation against chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and hazardous material threats.
But you don’t have to stand alone.
The United States CBRN & HAZMAT Technician Association (USCHTA) was built for you—by technicians, for technicians. We understand the weight of the call, the complexity of the mission, and the need for a unified community that shares knowledge, advances capability, and supports one another through every challenge.
One Purpose. One Mission.
USCHTA brings together military CBRN specialists and public safety HAZMAT professionals under one powerful alliance. Whether you’re responding to a hazardous spill, investigating a suspicious package, mitigating a WMD threat, or training for the next unknown, you’re part of a national network committed to operational excellence and collective strength.
This is more than membership—it’s belonging to something bigger.
