Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) Alert Condition and Decontamination. The CSSL is not
designed or intended for operations during an NBC event or environment, however, if exposed during it’s
closed travel configuration, decontaminate with relative ease using the procedures in FM 3-5 for
“Operational Decontamination”. Whenever alerted to possible NBC attack, commanders utilizing the
CSSL should employ, as a minimum, the following contamination avoidance procedures:
1. If time permits, break down the CSSL operations and place it into it’s traveling configuration with all
components drained and packed inside as described in WP 0005 00-49 “Packing for Return Shipment”
2. If time does not permit complete repacking, then complete the following as quickly as possible.
3. Disconnect and drain the freshwater and wastewater hoses and store them in the container. Cap the
container hose connection ports.
4. Turn off generator power, disconnect the electric power cables and cover the connector ends and ports.
Store all cables inside the container.
5. Close all CSSL container doors and all window, door and vent flaps on the TEMPER tent.
6. If possible, drain at least the freshwater tank and store it in the container.
WARNING
Do not place a CSSL that has been through an NBC attack back
into operation until it has been decontaminated. Serious illness,
injury or death to personnel could result.
Decontamination. Decontaminate the exterior of a packed CSSL container IAW operational or thorough
decon procedures in FM 3-5. Have trained personnel check the interior components using appropriate
detection methods and perform further decon as necessary before placing the CSSL into operation.
Replace components that cannot be decontaminated. Dispose of the contaminated components IAW the
instructions of the trained NBC personnel.
