About

ing chemical weapons, some factors that should be considered are— (1) The chemical agents discussed herein do not destroy materiel. On the contrary, they allow the physical preservation of industrial complexes, cultural institu- tions, lines of communications, and other facilities and materiel that may be useful to friendly forces or that merit preserva- tion for political or economic reasons. (2) Chemical munitions do not produce phys- ical obstacles to maneuver, since they cause minimal destruction, blowdown, rubble, and similar barriers. Agents that produce a persistent effect, however, will create a hazard to friendly troops. (3) Chemical agents may be employed to produce a variety of effects ranging from harassment to lethality. (4) Toxic chemical clouds penetrate fortifica- tions and similar structures that are not airtight.
