        kit (NAAK). NAPP is a pretreatment taken before enemy use of nerve

            b. NAPP is a tablet of pyridostigmine bromide which is taken
        upon command directive when the threat of enemy use of nerve agents
        is high. It is taken every 8 hours orally.

            C. The basis of issue of NAAK is two blister packs of 21
        tablets or two weeks supply per soldier.
