        I' THIS MSG PROVIDES GENERAL INFO ON THE CARE AND USE OF THE SUBJ
        OVERGARMENT:
            A. THE OG84 COMES SEALED IN A VAPOR-BARRIER BAG THAT PROTECTS
        AGAINST RAIN, MOISTURE, AND SUNLIGHT. THE OG84 SHOULD NOT BE
        REMOVED FRON THE BAG UNTIL IS IS REQUIRED BY THE TACTICAL SITUATION.
        WHEN THE OVERGARMENT IS REMOVED FROM THE BAG AND DONNED, ITS
        PROTECTIVE QUALITIES LAST FOR 22 DAYS, AS LONG AS IT IS SERVICEABLE
        AND UNCONTAMINATED. IT BECOMES UNSERVICEABLE IF IT IS RIPPED,
        TORN, OR SOAKED WITH PETROLEUM PRODUCTS. THE MAXIMUM TIME THE OG84
        DURING/AFTER A CHEMICAL ATTACK IS 24 HOURS. THE OG84 SHOULD BE
        DISCARDED, IF IT IS UNSERVICEABLE OR CONTAMINATED, AND REPLACED
        WITH A NEW ONE.
            B. PRINTED INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE OG84 ARE ON THE BAG
        LABEL.
            C. MISSION ORIENTED PROTECTIVE POSTURE (MOPP) GUIDELINES,
        FOUND IN REF A, SHOULD BE REVIEWED BY COMMANDERS AND SMALL UNIT
        LEADERS. MOPP LEVELS SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED TO BALANCE THE THREAT,
        TEMPERATURE, AND URGENCY OF THE MISSION. THERE ARE FIVE LEVELS OF
ULL PROTECTIVE MEASURES.
            D. WHILE WEARING THE FULL PROTECTIVE ENSEMBLE, MARINES WILL NEED
        TO CONSUME CONSIDERABLE AMOUNTS OF WATER; APPROX DOUBLE THE NORMAL
        CONSUMPTION. ENSURE MARINES HAVE THE NBC CANTEEN CAPS ON CANTEENS
        TO ALLOW DRINKING OF WATER, WHILE WEARING THE MASK AND THE OG84.
        2. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND IN REF A.
        3. REQUEST WIDEST DISSEMINATION AS POSSIBLE.// BT
