Used in cleaning of the aircraft and weaponry is the PDA. The Portable Decontamination Apparatus (PDA) has been designed to spray decontamination solution over the contaminated area, buildings, vehicles including tanks and ships.

The Army has always trained for NBC.

Now that more equipment is available, it is training in a 'grander' style!

I am glad to see the photos of this training. When I was a chemical operations NCO in the US Army we rarely trained with more that personal NBC protective gear. Training with unit level equipment was mostly done at the chemical school. US soldiers don't like NBC defense training because the protective suits and masks are uncomfortable and they find the subject boring. Also, when I trained soldiers for Operation Desert Storm, they were not confident that they could survive a chemical attack. I wonder what is the attitude of IA in that regard. Certainly the threat should be recognized.

It great in pictures, but they are very uncomfortable in actual use.

And we have to remember that NBC protection is one half of the problem. Completing the mission in a contaminated environment is the other half.
