FM 3-2 CHAPTER 2 OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS 2-1. General a. Agent CS is used in combat operations to temporarily reduce the effectiveness of enemy personnel. Its major advantages in tactical opera- tions are its greater area coverage and its ability to penetrate fortified positions. CS affects person- nel primarily through the respiratory tract and by contact with the eyes. However, in a warm, humid atmosphere, CS collected on the skin and mixed with perspiration may become harassing. b. Agent CS is concentration dependent. When individuals are subjected to relatively low initial concentrations, symptoms appear almost immedi- ately. Ability to take evasive action or repel at- tackers is reduced within seconds in 50 percent or more of those target personnel exposed to the agent cloud.
