                             NBC Status Instructions


       1. Each chemical company or battalion needs to report the
       following the following for its decon, recon and/or smoke assets:

           a. Determine:

                (1) Personnel percentage - divide personnel on hand by
       amount authorized for current ALO.

                (2)  @ipment percentage - divide mission essential
       equipment on hand and operational by amount authorized.

                (3) Materiel percentage - divide mission essential
       materials (i.e. STB, DS-2, fog oil) by amount authorized.

           b. Match percentages with color code provided below. Lowest
       color code is company's overall NBC status. Forward this
       information to higher headquarters (i.e. division to corps,
       companies to bns). Provide reason if color code is less than
       green.

              Color Code              Personnel - Ecruipment - Material

       Green (fully mission capable)                90-100%
       Amber (minor shortfalls)                     70-89-t
       Red (critical shortfalls)                    50-69%
       Black (non-mission capable)                  <49%

       2. MSC chemical staffs will consolidate their reports and
       subjectively determine a MSC color code status for its ability to
       conduct NBC decon/recon and smoke. This color will then be
       annotated in appropriate columns on next page and forwarded to
       ARCENT Main NBC. Any status less than green will require a
       comment in the remarks column. In addition, to the overall MSC
       assessment, provide individual chemical company/Bn color ratings
       which are less than green and the reason, ie. 23d Chem Co
       Amber, short personnel.
