Interim Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) Decontamination Procedures
WARNING
The ASLMS is NOT designed to be operated in NBC contaminated Environments. Do
not operate the ASLMS in NBC contaminated environments. If possible cease operation
of the ALSMS prior to an NBC event and do the following:
Remove and store the EPC in the ASLMS (refer to WP 0009 00).
Reduce the ASLMS to the transportation configuration with ventilation and access
doors closed.
External surfaces of the ASLMS FPUs are CARC painted and can be decontaminated,
however, whenever possible, avoid contamination of the internal areas of the ASLMS
FPUs. Decontaminate the exterior surfaces of the ASLMS in accordance with FM 3-5.
Qualified NBC NCOs should check for residual contamination before opening the
container. Remain in MOPP 4 posture when opening the doors and have the NBC NCO
check for contamination on interior surfaces. If thorough decontamination is required,
refer to NBC NCO and FM 3-5 for procedures.
