      SUBJECTO Issue of Individual Soldier CANA

      PURPOSEs To inform Commanders about proper procedures and method of
      issue of CANA to soldiers.


      1. FACTS.
         a. CANA(Convulsant Antidote @or Nerve Agent) protects the brain from
      permanent damage from severe nerve agent poisoning. It is given after
      the 3rd MARK I Kit. When necessary each soldier is administered the
      CANA he carries. The active ingredient is valium.

         b. The unit of issue is one CANA injection per soldier to be carried
      with the three MARK I injectors in the mask carrier.

         a. CANA is a controlled substance, which brings two special
      requirements
                     1. Unit supply officers will ensure appropiate
      accountability/responsibility is established when issuing CANA to
      individuals.

                     2. Units will be instructed to turn in all unused CANA
      prior to redeployment.
