CAUTION
Prolonged contact with Decontamination Solution No. 2 (DS2) will
degrade the GVO/BVO.
The GVOs (green) and BVOs {black) are impermeable vinyl overshoes with elastic fasteners. The GVO/BVO worn
over the standard leather combat boot protects the wearer against CB agents, radioactive materials, rain, mud or
snow. (However, GVOs and BVOs issued and worn for environmental protection should not be used for NBC
protection. A new pair should be issued with NBC protective gear .) Refer to FM 3-4/FMFM 11-9 for protective
