Which role is responsible for identifying the requirements for sampling material?

The Sampler Collector plays a critical role in CBRN reconnaissance operations, particularly in the context of identifying the requirements for sampling material. This position is tasked with the actual collection of samples from various environments or materials suspected to be contaminated or hazardous.

The responsibilities of the Sampler Collector extend beyond mere collection; they must also assess the situation and determine what types of samples are necessary based on the reconnaissance objectives and the nature of the potential contaminants. This includes making decisions about which locations to sample, the type of sampling methods to employ, and the necessary equipment required for gathering those samples. Their expertise is crucial in ensuring that samples are representative and that the collected data will be useful for analysis.

Additionally, the Sampler Collector needs to be familiar with operational protocols and the specific requirements for sampling, whether that involves air, water, or soil, or other materials, ensuring the effectiveness and reliability of the sampling processes.
