          support of Operation Desert Shield arrive in country with the
          following medical chemical defense material in their
          possession:

                  a. 3 x MKI NAAKS per individual NSN: 6505-01-174-

                  79()3

          2. The NAPP  consists.of  3dmg Pyridostigmine Bromide tablets
          (21 per pack) whicl@ are packed in a blister pack.     x packs
          per person will equal 42 tablets, enough for..2 weeks.
          3. Personnel will be told when to start taking    the tablets
          through command channels. Once begun, personnel will take 1
          tablet every 8 hours. I+ a dose is missed, do not take 2
          tablets at once, just start again with  'I tablet every 8
          hours. Taking 2 tablets at once does not provide additional
          protection and could cause diarrhea, st,,in rash, muscle
          weakness, cramps, twitching or dimness of vision. If these
          symptoms occur, stop taking the tablets and seek medical help
          ASAP.
          4. The NAPP is a supplement to treatment, not a treatment
