Summary: Army Instructional film on the importance of learning how to live and fight in a nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) warfare environment. A combat team of mechanised infantry and Chieftain tanks on a three-day exercise demonstrate the immediate actions to be taken on being subjected to chemical attack, how to eat and sleep in protective clothing, casualty handling and how to replace a torn glove. A chemical reconnaissance party, checking an area for contamination, is also shown. An officer describes the training aids available for the simulation of a chemical attack, and talks briefly on the subject of nuclear weapons, including basic protective measures and the assessment of radioactive contamination.
