SYSTEM DESCRIPTION.

a. General. There is a need to perform Immediate Decontamination of vehicles, equipment, and crew-served weapons from chemical warfare agents. The Sorbent Decontamination System (SDS) will replace the current technology that employs the application of Decontaminating Solution 2 (DS-2) with a dry sorbent powder capability. The need to perform immediate decontamination may occur in wartime or peacetime operations. The SDS is designed to support the immediate decontamination process on vehicles, equipment, and crew-served weapons. The SDS is held in place on the vehicle or equipment with a separate mounting bracket. The mounting configuration for the SDS bracket is the same as the M-11 Decontamination Apparatus (M-11 DA) bracket.

b. Operational Concept. In general, Immediate Decontamination is accomplished by an operator spreading and rubbing the Sorbent Powder of SDS on the contaminated surface. The powder absorbs the chemical agent on contact and is brushed or falls off the surface, leaving the equipment free of contact hazards. The SDS does not require the use of aqueous processes to rinse off the Sorbent Powder residue.

TARGET AUDIENCE.

a. General Users. The SDS is employed by a General Purpose User (GPU); that is, any individual, regardless of rank, gender, or Military Occupational Specialty (MOS). The SDS is authorized by the Common Table of Allowances (CTA) for vehicles, equipment, and crew-served weapons. The primary operator of this equipment is also the primary operator of the SDS. The task for employing the SDS is a common task.

b. Maintenance Personnel. The entire SDS kit requires no organizational maintenance because it is considered expendable.

ASSUMPTIONS.

a. The introduction of SDS will not add additional training time to institutional instruction.

b. The SDS will replace the M-11 D A and DS-2 (1 1/3-quart container) for Immediate Decontamination procedures. It does not replace the M-13 Decontaminating Apparatus and DS-2 for Operational or Thorough Decontamination.

c. The M-13 Decontamination Apparatus and 5-gallon bulk DS-2 are still available for Immediate Decontamination procedures, thus not requiring an immediate change to doctrine established in Field Manual 3-5, Decontamination.

d. The introduction of SDS will not require any new tools to operate or maintain the system.

e. The introduction of SDS will not add additional training time to the maintenance MOS institutional instruction.

f. The primary operators will perform the majority of operation while suited in full Individual Protective Equipment (IPE). IPE is also known as Mission Oriented Protective Posture (MOPP) level 4 [MOPP 4]. MOPP 4 consists of protective overgarment, boots, gloves, and mask.

g. The general purpose users are acclimatized to perform their duties while wearing full IPE.

TRAINING CONSTRAINTS.

a. Environmental Constraints. A universally-approved, environmentally benign chemical agent simulant for field operations does not exist. Personnel at installation units must request local permission to employ simulants in their training areas. A chemical agent simulant is required to provide a visual chemical contamination cue to the soldier in training.

b. New Equipment Training (NET) Constraints. A NET Team will not deploy to field the SDS. Therefore, the Technical Manual (TM) training video, and lesson plans are the primary source of general operator and supervisor training.

TRAINING CONCEPT (AC/RC).

a. Concepts. The SDS is a simple-to-operate system that does not require extensive training resources to learn employment and operating procedures. The Training Support Package (TSP), lesson plans, and audio-visual resources supplied with the initial fielding of the SDS will serve as the basis for initial and sustainment training.

b. The Task of Employing the SDS to perform Immediate Decontamination and training is required for all service personnel. The operator of the equipment/vehicle/crew-served weapon is the primary operator of the SDS. The task is taught at select institutional centers or is trained at the unit level by first-line supervisors.

c. No difference in training concepts for Active or Reserve Component forces are anticipated.

TRAINING STRATEGY (AC/RC).

a. The Material Developer will provide NET resources that will include: TM’s, Training Video Tape, and lesson plans, concurrently with the initial fielding of the SDS to sites. The NET plan and Materiel Fielding Plan must synchronize the arrival of training resources and the SDS.

b. Institutional Training (Warrior). The U.S. Army Chemical school will train the doctrine, tactics, techniques, and procedures for the SDS to Chemical Occupational Specialties in resident courses.

1) For institutional training to occur properly, the USA Chemical School, Fort Leonard Wood, MO must be first on the fielding plan to receive the SDS.

2) No additional skill identifier is required.

3) The SDS will replace the M-11 Decontamination Apparatus (M-11 DA) and training on the M-11 DA will cease as the SDS is fielded. Therefore, no increase in course length or manpower is required. Service schools will determine if simultaneous training on the SDS and M-11 DA is required.

c. Unit Sustainment Training (Warfighter). Unit sustainment training is accomplished through established individual service guidelines. The SDS is incorporated into existing Combined Arms Training Strategy (CATS) plans and does not require specific unit collective training events. The primary trainer is the soldier’s first-line supervisor. The unit selects the distribution scheme for the SDS in relation to the CTA for employing the SDS for equipment, vehicles, or crew-served weapons.

d. Active and Reserve Component Chemical MOS qualified personnel and additional duty unit NBC personnel will serve as the initial and sustainment train-the-trainer resources for their units.

TRAINING PRODUCTS.

a. Training Aids, Devices, Simulators, and Simulations (TADSS). There is a requirement to develop a training video to support training. There is no requirement for a training device for SDS as the system is relatively low cost and safe for training. Personnel must adhere to the safety restrictions and cautions for the SDS as described in the Technical Manual.

b. Training Videotape. The Material Developer, the New Equipment Training personnel and the Training Developer will develop and provide an instructional videotape for SDS employment and use. The US Army Maneuver Support Center (MANSCEN) will be responsible for inserting the video tape into the Army Training Support Center process.

1) It is recommended that the training videotape be maintained by the Training Support Centers (TSC) at each installation.

2) The training videotape will require a TSC device number.

c. Manuals. A Technical Manual (TM) is required for employment and training of the SDS. Some instructions may require printing or mounting on the hardware or packaging of the SDS. The interior packets will have only limited instructions.

d. Chemical Agent Simulant. There is a need to use a chemical agent simulant during training the SDS. Keep in mind that it is important to use a simulant that will provide the proper cue for either a liquid or a thickened chemical agent.” There is No environmentally-benign, or universally-approved chemical agent simulant. Methyl Salicilate (MeS) was used during the Operational Demonstration Test to simulate liquid contamination. MeS evaporates during warm weather, but was used with some success. Brake fluid was used with some success to simulate thickened chemical contamination during the test. The shortcoming of using brake fluid is that it has a tendency to maintain a wet appearance even after correctly applying the SDS.” [ Note: recommend that you check to be sure that this is in fact a “false cue”. ] Training personnel must seek approval from local environmental agencies prior to using any chemical agent simulant on their installation.

e. System hardware/software and/or components. No software is required for operation of the SDS.

TRAINING SUPPORT.

a. Distance Learning (DL) Infrastructure. The DL resources will comply with the specifications designated by the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command DL guidelines.

b. Facilities. No special facilities are required for operation, training, or storage of the SDS. The SDS is mounted on select vehicles and equipment via an optional mounting bracket. This bracket conforms to the mounting scheme for the M-11 DA system.

c. Ammunition. No ammunition is required for SDS.

d. Other. The installation Training Support Centers are required to manage and maintain the training videotape.

e. Training issues at risk. Availability of a chemical agent simulant for training in local areas. Users must obtain approval for use of any simulant from local environmental protection offices. The SDS poses no environmental hazards by itself but must be disposed in accordance with local environmental guidelines.

POSTFIELDING TRAINING EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS (PFTEA).

A Postfielding Training Effectiveness Analysis (PFTEA) is required within 12 months after the first unit is equipped. Soldier performance and perception, training costs, training materials and media, and training schedules are analyzed to determine cost and training effectiveness. The Training Developer will adjust institutional and unit training programs as necessary. The Material Developer will program manpower and monetary resources to support:

• Performance and perception data collection instrument development.

• Data collection (cost, performance and perception, time, et al.).

• Data analysis.

• Reporting.

NOTE. No environmentally-benign, universally-approved chemical agent simulant is available for training. During the Operational Demonstration test, the test used Methyl Salicilate (MeS), which is only a liquid simulant and evaporates during warm weather. Another test simulant was that of brake fluid, however, this has a tendency to create a wet looking spot on the surface, even though is had been removed by the SDS.

Training personnel must seek approval from local environmental agencies prior to using any chemical agent simulant on their installation.
