       SUBJECT: USE OF DECONTAMINATING AGENT DS


       1. INFORMATION PROVIDED AS LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE CHEMICAL DECON


       TRAINING FACILITY (CDTF) PRIOR TO DEPLOYMENT ON DESERT SHIELD


       IMPLIED THAT WHEN A CONTAINER OF DS2 IS OPENED AND EXPOSED TO THE

       AIR FOR 48 HRS OR MORE IT DEVELOPS BELATIN-LIKE BODIES. ALTHOUGH

       NOT STATED AS A LESSON LEARNED, THIS INFORMATION SUGGESTS THAT IF

       DS2 IS NOT RINSED OFF OF VEHICLES DURING OPERATOR SPRAY DOWN THAT


      -Db2 MAY HARDEN AND PRESENT AN EVEN GREATER FUTURE DECON


       F'ROBLEM/BURDEN THAN IF THE AGENT HAD SIMPLY BEEN LEFT TO WEATHER.

       IN VIEW OF THIS CONCERN, REQUEST ANSWERS TO THE FOLLOWING.

           A. WHAT HAPPENS TO DS2 WHEN APPLIED TO CARC PAINTED VEHICLES

       AND EQUIPMENT WHEN WATER IS NOT IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR RINSE

       DOWN? DOES IT HARDEN OR BECOME TACKY AND, IF SO, WHAT ARE THE

       IMPLICATIONS FOR REMOVING THE DS2 HOURS TO SEVERAL DAYS LATER?
