A
US Army Chemical Corps unit whose mission it is to provide support relating to
Nuclear,
Biological, or
Chemical Weapons. Each US Army Division has one or more depending on the Division's mission. Most Chemical Companies are made up of a
reconnaissance platoon, a
smoke platoon, and multiple
decontamination platoons. The reconnaissance platoon has a FOX recon vehicle and has the job of marking areas of
NBC contamination. The smoke platoon provides
obscuration for
maneuver. The decon platoons
decontaminate personnel and equipment that have been NBC contaminated, although most scenarios involve strictly
chemical decontamination.
