Required Operational Capability (ROC) for NBC Protective Covers

Abstract

A capability is needed to protect supplies and equipment from liquid chemical agent contamination, radiological fallout, and biological agent contamination. By providing a barrier between the articles and possible NBC agent contamination, the Army's burden for decontamination will be eased. The NBC-PC will also reduce the spread of contamination, help prevent casualties, and make supplies and equipment more readily available in an NBC environment. The NBC-PC will allow units at all levels to better implement current doctrine on contamination avoidance with minimal logistical impact.
