The exercise is designed to test people's ability to carry out their wartime tasking, air base ground defense, and ability to recover after attacks. During the exercise, personnel quickly become accustomed to working and resting while wearing the Ground Crew Ensemble and its MCU-2P chemical/biological protective mask to protect themselves from chemical warfare agents.
