If such a situation were to arise and we needed a force uniquely trained to tackle that kind of emergency, the President of the United States would call on the Army’s Nuclear Disablement Team, or NDT.

Everyone who served in the military is familiar with the U.S. Army’s most elite forces: the Rangers, Green Berets and even Delta Force. Each has unique capabilities and a unique mission, and they are highly trained to execute those missions. It’s no surprise that the United States has called on them to conduct operations in some of the most dangerous scenarios – but what about a doomsday scenario?
Luckily, outside of Hollywood, there hasn’t been a rogue nuclear weapon or a sabotaged nuclear plant (at least, none that we were ever told about). But if such a situation were to arise and we needed a force uniquely trained to tackle that kind of emergency, the President of the United States would call on the Army’s Nuclear Disablement Team, or NDT.
NDTs are really specialized soldiers. So specialized, in fact, that there are only three teams who do this kind of work. Army mumbo jumbo describes the NDT mission as “contributing to the nation’s strategic deterrence by staying ready to exploit and disable nuclear and radiological Weapons of Mass Destruction infrastructure and components to deny near-term capability to adversaries.”
