NUCLEAR, BIOLOGICAL, AND CHEMICAL (NBC) CONTAMINATION
The LCM-8 Mod 2 is not equipped for protection against nuclear, chemical, or biological fallout. However, the vessel may
be operated in an NBC contaminated environment provided the passengers and crew utilize proper NBC protective proce-
dures (i.e. MOPP IV clothing) as defined in U.S. Army Training Manual, STP21-1-SMCT.
The LCM-8 Mod 2 is designed to accommodate performance of the daily maintenance inspections, safety checks, and
operations by personnel dressed in MOPP IV protective clothing.
All exterior components, equipment, and machinery are capable of withstanding a seawater washdown. This washdown
may be accomplished, in part, by the LCM-8 Mod 2's fire pump and fire monitor. Additional washdown my be accom-
plished by attending vessels, shore facilities, and/or portable fire pumps and hoses.
Further guidance on NBC contamination can be found in U.S. Army regulation AR 70-75.
