Chemical Protective Suit
(1)
Chemical Protective Overgarment (CPOG). The CPOG is an OD green overgarment consisting of
a coat and trousers. This suit is normally worn over the duty uniform, however, in high temperatures it may be worn
over underwear. In extreme cold weather, the CPOG will be worn under arctic clothing for camouflage.
The CPOG provides protection against chemical agent vapors, liquid droplets; biological agents; toxins; and
radioactive alpha and beta particles. The CPOG is not intended to be decontaminated, reimpregnated, or laundered,
and should be properly discarded after exposure to chemical agents in accordance with FM 3-5/FMFM 11-10.
Contact with petroleum, oils and lubricants (POLs) will significantly degrade protection provided by the CPOG.
Refer to FM 3-4/FMFM I 1-9 for protective capabilities.
