Ringkasan :The mission to recover amphibious forces can be complicated if ashore forces come under
attack from enemy weapons, particularly chemical, biological, or radiological (CBR) weapons. If
ashore forces are attacked with CBR weapons, they may become contaminated and pose a crosscontamination
risk to other forces with whom they come in contact. If contaminants spread to
equipment and vehicles, creating persistent hazards, these items may pose an additional crosscontamination
risk. Among the potential agents that may be used in CBR weapons, persistent
liquid and solid chemical agents present the greatest challenge for physical decontamination.
Navy military capability will be compromised as ships’ resources are dedicated to recover
contaminated ashore forces. The personnel dedicated to the recovery mission will be directed
away from their other responsibilities. Areas of ships used in the recovery mission will be
unusable for other activities during the recovery process, and for the duration until they are
determined to be free of any potential contaminants. Navy capability will be further degraded as
personnel who are injured by CBR agents become casualties, and as conventional casualties
become contaminated with CBR agents that exacerbate their underlying medical conditions.
