DECON PLANNING PRINCIPLES OF DECON
THE PRIMARY PURPOSES OF DECON ARE TO STOP EROSION OF COMBAT POWER AND REDUCE CASUALTIES THAT MAY RESULT FROM INADVERTENT EXPOSURE OF FAILURE OF PROTECTION. DECON IS COSTLY IN TERMS OF MANPOWER, TIME, SPACE, AND MATERIAL. PRINCIPLES: SPEED - DECONTAMINATE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO RESTORE FULL COMBAT POTENTIAL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE NEED - DECONTAMINATE ONLY WHAT IS NECESSARY LIMIT DECONTAMINATE AS CLOSE TO SITE OF CONTAMINATION AS POSSIBLE TO LIMIT ITS SPREAD PRIORITY - DECONTAMINATE THE MOST IMPORTANT ITEMS FIRST AND THE LEAST IMPORTANT ITEMS LAST FM 3-5 Page 1-2
