In an attempt to think outside the box, the U.S. Army Soldier and Biological Chemical Command (SBCCOM) attempted to discover possible alternative ambulatory decontamination facilities, which would be able to supplement standard shower decontamination in the event of a large scale mass casualty event. One such alternative would be to use an Olympic-sized, heated swimming pool. The SBCCOM calculated that such a swimming pool as a communal bath with soap (and the water already present) could decontaminate large numbers (well in excess of 100,000 people) of ambulatory casualties exposed to nonconvulsive doses of the nerve agent sarin (SBCCOM, January 2002). The dilution factor of the large quantity of water would keep it nontoxic for many tens, if not hundreds of thousands, of people.

Other Army organizations also support the RAP process at specific locations, such as the Soldier and Biological Chemical Command (SBCCOM), the Army Environmental Center, and the Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine. In addition, SBCCOM is responsible for permitted storage of NSCWM (and stockpile materiel) at installations where this materiel is stored. ...
