About

directives relating to the employment of CB munitions through command channels. The pattern and objectives for the use of CB agents will depend upon such variables as U. S. for- eign policy, requirements of the military situa- tion, Allied participation, nature of the enemy, and related factors. Once the decision has been made to conduct CB operations, authority to use CB weapons is normally delegated to the lowest echelon responsible for the area within which the effects of the agents will extend. b. Commanders are currently authorized to use certain chemical agents such as flame, in- cendiaries, smoke, riot control agents, and defoliants. c. All U. S. forces will be trained, equipped, and supplied for CB defense. 4. Definitions a. CB Casualty.
