PERSONAL PROTECTION

In the event of either a chemical or biological attack, the respiratory system must be protected at all costs since gasses like VX and Sarin attack the nervous system while Cyanide works by killing the cells. In the meantime, the body must be protected from coming into direct contact with liquid or solid forms of the agent since most agents can enter through the skin as well. The use of protective gear will go a long way to ensuring the survival of the soldier. He just might even get home in one healthy piece, instead of in

a) Pieces

b) A mass of chemically burnt flesh.

Chemical agents like VX Nerve Gas are horrible for your complexion. It might also help to take up an insurance policy or two so that if you die, at least your family would be able to claim some money.
