                 The 9TH Chemical Detachment provided point biological
            and stand-off chemical detection catabilitiei; using the XM2
            biological sampler and the XM 21 chemical detector. The
            detachment was attached to the Foreign Materiel Intelligence
            Battalion (FMIB) for operations, rations, administrative
            training, UCMJ, personnel and logistical support.            Th;
            Detachment was attached to FMIB due to similar-inissions to
            collect chemical and biological samtles. FMIB had already
            established the procedures for        he evacuation of samples
            from the KTO to CONUS laboratories for detailed analysis.
            The Detachment consisted of an eight man head uarters
            section, seven biolo ical       detection   teams    anq    five
            chemical/biological de?ection teams.
                 The Headquarters element provided all the detachments
            logistical, administrative and maintenance support. The
            detachment    headquarters    was based with the--Battalion
            operations section. An additional head uarters           element
            deployed forward to further expedite logistical support to
            th@ t&ams just prior to G-Day.

            chief and two biological detection NCO'S. Three of the teams
            had XM2 biological detectors and the remaining four teams
            had the PM-10 commercial samplers. The PM-10's were deployed
            to the units covering Riyadh-and Dhahran due to its awkward
            size and shape.
                 The five chemical/bioloqical detection teams consisted
ection NCO'S.
            Although biological detection'was tfie primary mission, both
