3 Types of CBR Surveys
Point - conducted to ensure time sensitive operations can be conducted without unwarned encounters with chemical agent clouds/transfer hazards resulting from munitions event
Area - to provide tailored detection capability in tactical situations where it is impractical to employ remote point samplers
Reconnaissance - conducted to reduce time required to perform Nuclear Biological Chemical Recon System’s primary mission to increase confidence that area is uncontaminated

M-256 Kit
Primary piece of equipment used to monitor for Chemical agents like:
Mustard (H& D)
Phosgene Oxime (CX)
Lewisite
Hydrogen Cyanide
Cyanogen Chloride
Nerve Agents
Biological Contamination
Triangle blue on both sides
BIO in red 2in
Name of agent & date & time of detection
CBR Recon Teams
Find boundary of contamination & routes around or through contaminated area.
Recon Team Determines:
are there chemical agents present?
if agent is present, what type?
where and when agent first detected?
Is there clean route through area?
Buddy Aid for Nerve Agent Exposure
Mask casualty
Position casualty on side
Find out if member injected the 1st set so no more than 3 sets are injected.
If he shows symptoms of nerve agent poisoning then give him a set.
If symptoms are severe then give him 2nd and 3rd set of injectors.
Give CANA w/ 3rd set of injectors to prevent convulsions.
Bend needles to form hook and attach to his clothes.
