            3. (U) KEYWORDS: MSAL ALARM, CHEMICAL, NBC,

            4. (U) TITLE: M8Al FALSE ALARMS

            5. (U) OBSERVATION: M8Al false alarms due to low battery.

            6. (U) DISCUSSION: Many false alarms due to a low battery
            caused units to unnecessarily upgrade their protective posture
            and may have desensitized soldiers to a real hazard.

            7. (U) LESSON LEARNED: The M8AI alarm should have an alternate
            low battery alarm / signal. This would allow units to
            immediately identify an alarm as a low battery warning.

            S. (U) RECO,    ED ACTION: AMC should modify the M8Al to have
            an alternate low battery alarm / signal.

            9. (U) COMMENTS: A message was sent out to the various
            concerned agencies requesting this modification to the M8Al
            alarm.


                (U) SUBTECT: OPERATIONS
