              1. (U) JULLS NUMBER: 10834-43086 (00394). submitted by RILEY
              AFZN-PTM-C, SFC Brisley, 856-2225. (913)239-2225.

              2. (U) Operation DESERT SHIELD conducted by USCENTCOM on 11/05/90.

              3. (U) KEYWORDS: REAL WORLD OPERATIONS, TRAINING. NBC. SUFFICIENCY.

              4. (U) TITLE: Opns: Training: Sufficient CS Powder for Mask
              Confidence Exercises

              5. (U) OBSERVATION: When FORSCOM directed a 100%
              serviceability check a+ protective masks. many units had not
              requested CS in their ammo forecasts.

              6. (U) DISCUSSION: Unless CS could be made easily available,
              units would not be able to comply with FORSCOM directive.

              7. (U) LESSON LEARNED: Division Chemical coordinated a
              consolidated draw of CS powder, suspended the CS powder in
              melted paraffin wtx, and issued ice cube size wax "charges" of
              CS to units scheduled for mask confidence exercises.

              B. (U) RECOMMENDED ACTION: TRADOC: Publicize the lesson
              learned as a viable means of extending insufficient CS stocks
              for mask confidence exercises.

              9. (U) COMMENTS: When a CS vapor is desired, wax charges are
              melted over sufficient heat in a CS chamber. Paraffin wax cubes
              containing suspended CS powder simply improve handling with no
              degradation of efficacy.
