1-11. PROTECTIVE ENSEMBLE

 

Each soldier has individual protective equipment including mask and hood, overgarment, battledress overgarment, chemical protective glove set, chemical-protective footwear covers, chemical-protective helmet cover, and protective mask. The MOPP gear also consists of an individual decon kit, detection equipment, and antidotes. Before soldiers can protect against NBC hazards, they must first know what individual protective equipment is available and how to use it.
