INTRODUCTION
This lesson provides the information needed to plan, coordinate, and execute
decontamination operations.
It does not provide specific steps for
decontaminating your rifle or truck; those steps are in Lessons 3 and 4. It
shows commanders how to manage the decontamination operation wisely, so that
expenditures of time and resources are reduced. It provides the information
that Noncommissioned Officers (NCOs) need to answer the question, "How do we
make decontamination happen on the Air Land Battlefield?" This lesson shows
what occurs during the decontamination phases, when the phases are supposed
to happen, which units get involved, and who is responsible for which
actions.
