In this lesson, you will learn about the effects of wind and temperature
on chemical agents.
To properly predict the duration of effectiveness of chemical agents:
1.
Describe the general characteristics of chemical agents.
2.
Assess the effect of wind on chemical agents.
3.
Assess the effect of temperature on chemical agents.
TERMINAL LEARNING OBJECTIVE
ACTION:
Assess wind and temperature effects on chemical agents.
CONDITION:
Given information about and illustrations of the general
characteristics of chemical agents and the effect of wind
and temperature on chemical agent cloud travel.
STANDARD:
Demonstrate competency
of the task, skills, and knowledge
by responding to the
multiple-choice test covering the
general characteristics
of chemical agents and the effects
of wind and temperature
on chemical agent cloud travel.

INTRODUCTION
Planning for the use of chemical agents by Threat Forces will be
incorporated into the scheme of offensive and defensive maneuvers by US
Army units. Chemical strikes may be employed in an anti-personnel role
to neutralize US defensive operations or may be used to contaminate
specific areas with persistent agents to act as an obstacle. However,
chemical agents will be used by Threat Forces primarily to destroy our
offensive capabilities.
