            - A push package, which includes 20,000 sets of BDO as part
        of a complete Class II package, was sent from Europe. (MAJ

        imately 8K of protective masks, half of which are on the ground.

        Issue. How do we detect dusty mustard other than using the M93
        FOX'7 (LTC Schubert)

        CRDEC. We are still awaiting a response. (COL Barbeau)

        Issue. Abbreviated Unmasking Procedures. (24th In+ Div (Mech))

        Discussion.


            - The normal unmasking procedure, which takes 31 minutes, is
        too long. The 24th Inf Div (Mech) NBCE is conducting a risk
        analysis and is open for suggestions on how to decrease this
        time. (LTC Schubert)


            - Use of the CAM, when fielded Corps-wide, will provide an
        alternative and faster means to provide this answer. In the
        interim, reliance on the M93 FOX and/or the CAM, is the only
        feasible Course of action. (COL Barbeau)

        Discussion.


            - DA has confirmed the Marines will receive the first ten
        vehicles of the second increment of thirty NBCRS. CENTCOM
        continues to support XVIII Abn Corps receiving the remaining 20
        vehicles. The status of Allied requests for FOX vehicles is
        unknown. (COL Barbeau)
