that do the decon will most likely come from combat units or
the units that experienced the casualties. This kind of work
can be done by unit NBC teams or other responsible personnel.
it will take minimal special training and equipment in order
to carry out the decon. CORPS also noted that this kind of
work should not be put off till the and of hostilities. As
possible they plan to clean the battlefield behind them.
4. Some concern was expressed over the use of 256 as the
test apparatus to determine decon. It was pointed out that
this kit is very accurate and simple to use. The same kit
will be used by units as the method of determining when to
unmask their soldiers in combat. Another item of concern was
who would "certify" the remains as clean. It was pointed out
that trained soldiers at plt level are usually the ones that
make the determination for their units when dealing with live
soldiers. Those same soldiers should be likewise trust
worthy when dealing with remains.
5. This issue will be completely staffed at CORPS before
implementation. I am passing it along for consideration as
an ARCENT or theater policy.
