The US seeks to achieve it strategic objectives in three diverse environments peacetime, conflict, and war. The Army classifies its activities during peacetime and conflict as operations other than war. Some operations such as Joint Endeavor in Bosnia are also referred to as support and stability operations. During peacetime and conflict, possible NBC threats include terrorist use of biological weapons or covert release of toxic industrial materials. During war, nuclear and chemical weapons are also possible NBC threats. 

The CBMS II is to be deployed aboard wheeled reconnaissance vehicles. The platforms include a light armored vehicle, the US Army XM1135 Stryker Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle (NBCRV),23 and two vehicles for the US Marine Corps Joint Services Lightweight Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Reconnaissance System (JSLNBCRS) 24 the HMMWV and a wheeled, light armored vehicle very much like the XM1135 Stryker. Consequently the volume, mass, and power available to the instrument are limited. Table 4.1 lists the current physical specification and objective requirement for each parameter.

In 1997 the US Army began investigating the use of commercial tube or handsfree on the move hydration systems. The intent was that soldiers on the move during a road march or foot movement would not need to take a canteen out of its case to drink water. They could simply sip through the bite valve at the end of the hydration system tube while keeping both hands on the rifle. The 3-hter (100-ounce) tube hydration system was not intended to replace the 1 and 2-quart canteens it was a supplemental item fielded with the MOLLE system. Unlike the 1 and 2-quart canteens, the tube hydration systems were not approved for use in a nuclear/biological/chemical (NBC)-contaminated environment.
