(6) Execution of tactical exercises and combat firing by small units, with all personnel wearing gas masks. During this phase of chemical warfare training, instruction will be given as prescribed in paragraph 60c, B.F.M. 21-40, and will include the following:
(a) Habituating all personnel to marching, patrolling and operating communications and weapons in an atmosphere of nontoxic gas and smoke. To accomplish this mission, the following minimum requirements will govern in the operation of weapons and in the use of matériel.
1. Infantry and Cavalry. Twenty percent of the annual ammunition allowances for combat firing (par. 41b, AR 775—T0) will be fired, with gas masks adjusted, by all troops participating in combat firing exercises. In addition, infantry troops will be habituated to using the bayonet with gas masks adjusted, and will include at least two practice runs per man through the bayonet qualification course each training year.
2. Field Artillery and Coast Artillery. Twenty percent of the annual allowance of subcalibre ammunition will be fired under conditions involving the wearing of the gas mask by all men employed in the battery, except these detachments which would normally operate in gas-proof shelters. (F.M. 21-40,21-45,100-5, TM 3-205.)
3. Air Corps. All ground troops will be trained to carry on normal ground activities with masks adjusted, including the preparation of airplanes for takeoff. Stress will be given to decontamination training, not only of ground installations, but also of airplanes. (See W.D. letter, May 9, 1940, Subject: Air Corps Training, 1940-1941, A.G. 353 (3-4-39) Misc.), and paragraphs II, 25, 26 and 27, B.F.M. 21-40.
4. Staff Troops. Detachments of Signal Corps, Ordnance Department, Quartermaster Corps, Finance Department, Medical Corps and Veterinary Corps, on duty at stations of combat troops, will be trained in the use of gas masks and in gas discipline. Gas masks on hand at stations will be made available for the training of these detachments. Medical Corps units and -
detachments will, in addition, be given thorough practical training in the administration of first aid to simulated gas cases.
(b) Combat units will be well grounded in the tactical use of smoke, and be thoroughly informed concerning its powers and limitations. Stress will be placed on the effect of smoke on aimed fire and on fire control, both in theoretical instruction and by practical demonstration, so far as allowances of chemical munitions will permit. To this end, tactical situations involving the use of smoke and nontoxic agents and intensive measures to assure adequate protection against all types of chemical agents and methods of projection will be included in appropriate problems and terrain exercises. Tactical maneuvers will include operations involving the use of smoke and simulated toxic gas. (See TM 3-305, Use of Smokes and Lachrymators in Training.)
b. National Guard
(1) The chemical warfare training of the National Guard, prior to induction into Federal Service, will conform to the instructions issued by the National Guard Bureau and will, insofar as practicable, parallel that of the Regular Army, as herein prescribed. (See paragraphs, 1, 2a, 3 and 4a).
(2) Reserve Militia. Training of Reserve Militia units (State Troops, as authorized, Public Resolutions 874-76, 76th Congress, approved October 21, 1940), if and when authorized by the States concerned, will be as per Chapter 3, Volume VII, B.F.M. Military Law, Part Three.
c. Organized Reserves. Inactive status training schedules will include a minimum of two hours instruction in chemical warfare, in preparation for the active duty period.
d. R.O.T.C. The chemical warfare training for the R.O.T.C. units at colleges will conform to the War Department directive for these units. Camp schedules will include three hours instruction in chemical warfare, as outlined in paragraph 65, B.F.M. 21-40.
e. Enlisted Replacement Centers.
(1) Training at Enlisted Replacement Center (Medical Corps), at Camp Grant, Illinois, will be conducted as prescribed in Section II, War Department MTP 8-1, September 9, 1940, and B.F.M. 21-40.
