NASIRIYAH, Iraq -- Soldiers of various units assigned to 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, practiced decontamination techniques at Mittica June 5.
The exercise was a two-day decontamination training course that was available for Soldiers. The first day, Soldiers were taught decontamination techniques in a classroom setting. The second day, they utilized everything that was taught in the classroom, in the field, while being evaluated.
“They did an excellent job and followed the procedures,” said Mike Miller, decontamination training instructor. “Soldiers learned to block off a contaminated area with barriers, determine the chemical used, and utilize the most effective agent.”
Capt. Brian McCarroll, brigade chemical officer, 3rd BCT, 4th Inf. Div., also participated in a few of the exercises offered at the training site.
“I think it’s a great thing for Soldiers to learn,” said McCarroll. “If there were a chemical attacked on this base, these Soldiers would know what to do.”
