Dragon Slayers Build Confidence Through CBRN Training

Yesterday, Soldiers of the 5th Battalion, 5th Air Defense Artillery Regiment conducted CBRN confidence chamber training, commonly known as the CS gas chamber. This training provided Soldiers the opportunity to experience the effects of CS gas in a controlled environment while reinforcing confidence in their protective equipment and individual readiness skills.

The exercise challenged Soldiers to properly don, clear, and trust their protective masks while operating under stressful conditions. Training such as this ensures Dragon Slayers remain prepared to operate in contaminated environments and maintain mission readiness in any operational setting.
