Wavemaker 1 Posted March 13, 2020 We are dealing with the corona virus at present time but an attack using more serious weapons is a possibility in more serious wars. How do the various groups that may be in such a situation prepare and manage for a problem like this, where they are expected to operate in and how do they decontaminate themselves when moving into safe zones? I've seen recon and testing APCs for this,below is one, but I think they could have increased the budget for a robot arm instead of what they used here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl562lCPXlE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Kiwi 0 Posted December 8, 2021 An interesting question though I imagine the response would vary depending on the country or countries in question as they have their own training curriculum and procedures for the reason that their equipment available may differ from one another. Some things, however, remain the same. If their intelligence suggests the possibility of the presence of chemical, biological, or radiological weapons, troops will be ordered to don their MOPP gear to a level appropriate to the perceived threat and likeliness. Proximity to the alleged threat also plays a factor into the level of MOPP the commander will choose to order their troops into. CBRN specialists embedded within the unit will be responsible for confirming or disproving the presence of such weapons through the tests they conduct. The commander has the authority to enforce MOPP on all forces under their command however the leaders under that commander have the authority to enforce stricter postures depending on their immediate situation. This authority exists for leaders and small unit leaders so in the event that they suspect the presence of such mentioned weapons while MOPP has not yet been issued by their commander, leaders can take the initiative to facilitate force protection and communicate their situation up the chain of command.
