Record 1 1995-11-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Land Forces
  • Clothing (Military)
CONT

While such an integrated uniform could provide more than adequate protection for most nuclear, biological and chemical warfare conditions, problems arise when the inevitable decontamination process has to be undertaken following an attack: unless there are sufficient spare uniforms ready to hand out, a soldier could be out of commission for the duration of the lengthy decontamination and laundering processes.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Forces terrestres
  • Habillement (Militaire)
CONT

La tenue de combat avec protection NBC intégrée n'aurait cependant pas que des avantages. Elle offrirait certainement une protection convenable contre la plupart des agents mais en cas d'attaque NBC, il faudrait nécessairement la décontaminer et c'est alors que les problèmes surgiraient. A moins de disposer de tenues de rechange en quantités suffisantes, les troupes ayant subi une attaque NBC seraient indisponibles durant les longues opérations de lavage et de décontamination, lesquelles nécessiteraient par ailleurs des équipements et des personnels spécialisés.

Record 2 1995-11-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Land Forces
  • Protective Clothing
CONT

Another approach to the problem of aggressive environmental media could be the introduction of nuclear biological and chemical protection uniforms as opposed to over-garments donned only when a chemical or biological attack is anticipated.

Key term(s)
  • NBC protection uniform

French

Domaine(s)
  • Forces terrestres
  • Vêtements de protection
CONT

Pour protéger le soldat contre un environnement agressif, une autre solution plus radicale consisterait à faire en sorte que la tenue de combat elle-même assure la protection NBC.
