           casualties and acquaint them with the recently fielded treatments
           and pretreatments for nerve agent and mustard exposure (i.e.,
           diazepam autoinjector and topical skin protectant). Priority for
           training will be physicians, physician's assistants, nurses,
           dentists, and enlisted personnel, respectively. Additional M2C3
           courses will be scheduled in the December-January timeframe if
           required to accomodate demand. Central funding will be available
           for this course. Applications (DA Form 3838s) for 17-19 December
           course should be sent to Commander, USAMRICD, ATTN: SGRD-UV-ZM/
           LT Tobias, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21010-5425.

           S. It is recognized that for units with large numbers of
           personnel who need to be trained or short lead times prior to
           deployment, the 3-day M2C3 at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) may
           not be feasible. For this reason, USAMRICD is prepared to
           provide a limited version of M2C3 in the field for those units
           whose personnel cannot travel to APG. However, since the "road
           course" may lack both the animal lab and FTX, medical personnel
           are encouraged to attend the 17-19 December M2C3 if at all
           possible.

           6. Our staff point of contact on this matter is MAJ Roger
           McIntosh or MAJ Bob Eng, DSN 289-0133/8163. Other points of
           contact include Mr. Marvin Ring, DSN 471-6242 (HSC); MAJ David
           Arday, DSN 797-3316 (FORSCOM); and LT John Tobias, DSN 584-3393
           (USAMRICD).
