             CHECK AND FIT
             5. (U) OBSERVATION: Not all personnel could be properly fitted
             with a protective mask in time to meet airflow.
             6. (U) DISCUSSION: Federalized RCU mask serviceability history
             is +air to poor. Common problems included headharnesses which
             had lost their elasticity and dry rc-tting of the +acr.?blanl,.
             Insufficient time often existed to requisition replacement
             masks at Mobilization Station (MS) if needing individuals were
             not already identified at HS (Home Station). Hence some units
             or individuals could not meet air+low.

             7. (U) LESSON LEARNED: none
             S. (U) RECOMMENDED ACTION: Mask serviceability checks are best
             done in advance of movement to MS by skilled 54B MOB personnel
             outside the unit. Tagged unserviceables may be brought to MS
             for disposition.
                 Hard-to--Fit soldiers should be identified at HS and names
             given to MS prior to arrival along with description of the
             abnormality(ies).
                 Create a protective mask ASL at installation to allow mask
isition at Mobilization Station.
