Avoiding contamination from CBRN weapons

AVOIDING CONTAMINATION FROM CHEM/BIO/NUKE WEAPONS

Tactics, techniques and procedures that military forces should use to
avoid contamination from an attack involving chemical, biological,
radiological and nuclear (CBRN) weapons are set forth in a recent
military manual.

"The possibility that an adversary will use CBRN weapons against the
United States and its allies continues to increase daily," the
manual states.

"If these weapons are used, our forces must be ready to implement the
principles of CBRN defense [including] contamination avoidance,
protection, and decontamination."

"Executed at all levels and coupled with an effective retaliatory
response, these fundamentals will increase the likelihood of a US
victory."
