In order to better understand the stresses of the Chemical and Biological Warfare (CBW) environment, it is useful to make inferences from situations where we have data and can better understand the individual and group psychological reactions. Published literature has explored accidental exposure to organophosphates as well as training exercises in a CBW environment. This data is reviewed to develop recommendations for better understanding the psychological and behavioral responses to CBW. Similarly, the long-term psychological consequences of the Buffalo Creek disaster where an entire town was destroyed through the bursting of a dam can provide us with community and individual response information concerning the effects of disaster trauma on individuals and community functioning. The studies of psychological responses of Vietnam era veterans and prisoners of war provide the unique opportunity to identify combat stress and its effects. Successful coping strategies for the contained environment of the prisoner of war experience are a part of the findings on prisoners of war
