Summary: Unedited footage of trial/exercise featuring a possible chemical emergency.
Description: Soldiers put on NBC suits; various chemical testers are prepared before two suited soldiers go into an industrial building and go upstairs into a raised office where a suspicious substance is leaking from a briefcase. Substance is tested using "inertia testing papers" and hand held CAM (chemical agent monitor); small bottles on the desk are also tested. There is no response; the two report to their supervisor and return to the scene where swabs are taken and sealed into containers with plasticine. The briefcase is securely bagged in polythene. Outside, the team decontaminate themselves.
