    NBC. Nuclear, Biological, Chemical. They probably meant “atomic”, but the military doesn’t use that term anymore.

    The US has no biological or chemical weapons (aside from irritants like pepper spray or mace). They do have protective equipment and procedures for operating in an NBC environment.

    As for nuclear, the entire world is pretty sure that nuclear leads directly to mutually assured destruction, so it’s not really a viable threat anymore.
