        .1. The CPOG gives protection for -14 da'yer. -it'will provide six
        hours of protection before requiring a MOPP gear exchange.     If
        the BDO is contaminated anytiiff6 during the 30 day wear period, it
        .,Will provide 24 hours of protection'beforb requiring a MOPP gear
        exchange.
        2. Data is based on CONTINUOUS'wear. .iThe dat'a for
        'intermittent wear @k not known. -If a soldier wears a C@OG foi7
        one day, removes the suit, ba4js and seals it, it should still
        have 13 days of continuous wear remaining on the'suit when it is
        -pulled out of the bag later. -The laboratory will not
      '.,substantiate'this, however there havci"been indicators that this
        theory has some validity and the protection would be extended.

     %:&3. At any-rate, an overgarment that exceeds the recommended wear
        days provides much greater protection than DCUs-and should be
        retained and used until the supply system'is able to provide a
        second contingency-SUit.. LThe soldier should not-discard hid
        'current overgarment until he has two sealed suits in his
        -possession.

        .4. PoCs are CPT Naisers/CPT Davis, ITAC '9-7806-337/338.
