             ordinary clothing. Commanders must balance the value of
             increased efficiency that Mask Only can give against the
             increased risk it presents. Soldiers in Mask Only must be
             inside a shelter and assume the appropriate MOPP level before
             leaving the shelter.

             biological, and chemical agents.

                 a. Ensure that assigned or attached units possess the

                 C. Ensure that monitoring and/or surveys are conducted for
             hazards resulting from enemy employment of chemical weapons
             systems.
