Many leaders are unaware that Soldiers are affected by threat factors that are less overt than a sarin gas attack or nerve agent contamination and that CBRN training does not always include mission-oriented

protective posture gear exchange.
The standard scrub brushes, 6-mil bags, and mission-oriented
protective posture gear of a decontamination platoon are replaced with a Joint Nuclear Biological Chemical Reconnaissance System II--a self-sufficient container express containing CBRN detection, sampling, and personal protection equipment, including expendable parts (which must be resupplied)--during the transition to an R&S platoon.
For example, some of the CDC mission-oriented
protective posture gear had no hoods.
