Lt Col Steve Johnson is the SO1 Counter CBRN in the British Army’s Land Warfare Centre. He specifically advises on doctrine and training in the land environment, but additionally champions the Field Army’s C-CBRN requirements across all lines of development (e.g., equipment and infrastructure). He was previous the lead staff officer for Counter CBRN Training Policy. This marked a return to the military following a hiatus as an academic and forensic scientist. His initial military service was within the Royal Engineers and Royal Tank Regiment across a range of roles culminating in specialist Counter CBRN with the Joint CBRN Regiment.

Steve is also an academic and forensic scientist, with a distinguished track record in providing strategic advice, training and education to government, armed forces, academia and industry on CBRNE and forensics. Educated at Cambridge University and Cranfield University, he has received broad training across policing and counter terrorism, with specialisation in CBRNE.
