VA - Medical NBC Battlebook

THE MEDICAL NBC BATTLEBOOK

The  purpose  of  this  battlebook  is  to  address  operational  health  concerns  in  environments  where Nuclear,   Biological,   and   Chemical   (NBC)   threats   exist. Potential   NBC   threats   range   from weapons of mass destruction to contamination of the battlefield by hazardous material.  Medical personnel, in conjunction with chemical personnel, must be able to advise commanders on a wide range of issues including the health effects of NBC threats, protective clothing and measures, and management of NBC casualties. This manual is not an emergency response book or treatment guide.  It is intended to provide a quick reference for decision making as to whether to request expert consultation in a given area. Except in extreme emergency, the contents should not be construed as definitive.

"I also worried about the great empty area of southern Iraq where the Army would launch its attack. I kept asking myself, ��What does Saddam know about that flank that I don��t? Why doesn��t he have any forces out there?�� The intelligence people suggested offhandedly, ��Maybe he plans to pop a nuke out there.�� They then nicknamed the sector the ��chemical killing sack.�� I��d flinch every time I heard it. I had a nightmare vision of Fred Franks and Gary Luck hitting that area only to have the Iraqis dump massive  quantities  of  chemicals  while  the  Republican  Guard  counterattacked  and  fought  us  to  a stalemate. I became increasingly jumpy.
General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, 1991
