4-8. IMMEDIATE ACTIONS DURING AN ATTACK
a. Put on your protective mask immediately and keep clothing buttoned up. Agents can gain entry through clothing using two routes.
b. Since there is no rapid warning, soldiers should take the same action for a biological attack as that prescribed for a chemical attack. After a suspected biological attack, samples should be taken with the M34, M256 series, or CBASK.
