INTRODUCTION
With the threatened use of chemical weapons and the strong possibility of
biological agents being employed on future battlefields, it is critical
that commanders be prepared to operate in these environments. Just as
the commander looks to the supply officer for advice on logistical
matters, the commander will look to you for advice on operations in a
chemical or biological environment.
You can be expected to answer
questions about the location, type, and expected duration of
contamination, and the measures to be taken to protect personnel.
In
this subcourse, you will learn the procedures used to arrive at an answer
to most of these questions.
