          SUBJECT: USE OF DECONTAMINATING AGENT DS2
          1. INFORMATION PROVIDED AS LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE CHEMICAL DECON
          TRAINING FACILITY (CDTF) PRIOR TO DEPLOYMENT ON DESERT SHIELD
          IMPLIED THAT WHEN A CONTAINER OF DS2 IS OPENED AND EXPOSED TO THE
          AIR FOR 48 HRS OR MORE IT DEVELOPS GELATIN-LIKE BODIES. ALTHOUGH
          NOT STATED AS A LESSON LEARNED, THIS INFORMATION SUGGESTS THAT IF
          DS2 IS NOT RINSED OFF OF VEHICLES DURING OPERATOR SPRAY DOWN THAT
          DS2 MAY HARDEN AND PRESENT AN EVEN GREATER FUTURE DECON
          PROBLEM/BURDEN THAN IF THE AGENT HAD SIMPLY BEEN LEFT TO WEATHER.
          IN VIEW OF THIS CdNCERN9 REQUEST ANSWERS TO THE FOLLOWING.
   A. WHAT HAPPENS TO DS2 WHEN APPLIED TO CARC PAINTED VEHICLES
          AND EQUIPMENT WHEN WATER IS NOT IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR RINSE
          DOWN'? DOES IT HARDEN OR BECOME TACKY AND, IF SO, WHAT ARE THE

                                           01 OF 02
