File: aaawd_01.txtSUBJECT: TAKING CHEMICAL GEAR TO SHELTERS MEMO TO: CC [(b)(6)] 26 Jan 91 SUBJECT: Taking Chem Gear to Shelter l. The full chemical ensemble should be readily available to all personnel at all times. Several alternatives to carrying the chemical ensemble to the shelter during a SCUD alert or ALARM RED have been considered but rejected. a. Preposition chemical ensembles in the shelter. [(b)(1)sec3.4(b)(6)] b. Preposition chemical ensembles in the tunnel. This proposal was rejected because picking up gear on the way in would cause unacceptable delay and individual equipment identity could not be maintained. Security of equipment in the tunnel would also be difficult and require additional security police. 2. Recommend you approve release of the attached letter restating current policy of carrying chem gear to the shelter and announcing new MOPP ALPHA option for use with SCUD launches. [(b)(6)] JOHN A.
