While both kits are for chemical decontamidation, the M291 kit is for skin decontamination and the M295 kit is for equipment decontamidation. It is important to note that there are proper procedures to follow when using either of these kits. Chemical decontamidation must be done properly and correct equipment, including a mask and hood, must be used. Anyone considering using these kits in the event of chemical contamidation should get proper training as to the proper use BEFORE any need arises for their use!
If you see loose decontamination powder in an M295 kit, you should avoid touching or inhaling it to prevent exposure. Make sure to report the finding to the appropriate authorities for proper disposal and replacement to ensure the kit's effectiveness in decontamination procedures.
The GCE (General Purpose Protective Ensemble) is a chemical protection suit issued by the military. It includes protective gloves, footwear covers, M8 and M9 chemical detection paper, and the M295 decontamination kit, designed to protect against chemical warfare agents and provide decontamination capabilities in the event of exposure.
