ABU DHABI Ñ U.S. Army forces are dedicating a large portion of their
Gulf training in learning to fight under the threat of a weapons of mass
destruction attack.
Officials said army units in Kuwait are learning to advance in combat
maneuvers with gear meant to protect against biological, chemical or
radiation weapons. The training includes NBC protection units and armored
vehicles trailing the soldiers and taking samples of the ground to determine
whether they have been attacked by nonconventional weapons.
"We improved overall joint force readiness by our recent procurement of
improved chem/bio defensive protective clothing, masks and detection
systems," Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff
told the Senate Armed Services Committee last week.
