00:02.690 --> 00:05.880
- [Lance] I'm Lance Rodriguez,
I'm a CBRN defense specialist

00:05.880 --> 00:08.340
here at (mumbles) at Maxwell Headquarters.

00:08.340 --> 00:13.125
We conducted a gas
chamber or IPEC exercise.

00:13.125 --> 00:15.390
What we did, so we had
marines come out here

00:15.390 --> 00:17.580
to the gas chamber to
conduct their annual training

00:17.580 --> 00:18.830
of being gas chamber proficient.

00:18.830 --> 00:22.610
Once they get here we issue
them their CBRN equipment,

00:22.610 --> 00:24.650
we start our initial classes to make sure

00:24.650 --> 00:27.210
that they can understand
different signs of symptoms

00:27.210 --> 00:29.300
of different agents that
the enemy might use.

00:29.300 --> 00:31.130
After those classes we
go ahead and conduct

00:31.130 --> 00:32.830
the actual gas chamber exercise.

00:32.830 --> 00:34.220
We send them into the gas chamber

00:34.220 --> 00:36.430
and conduct different exercises.

00:36.430 --> 00:38.350
And those exercises are
used to instill confidence

00:38.350 --> 00:40.680
in the marines so that if
they're ever able to come

00:40.680 --> 00:43.490
into contact with any CBRN
hazard they would have

00:43.490 --> 00:46.500
confidence in both their
equipment and themselves

00:46.500 --> 00:48.150
because that can literally
mean the life and death

00:48.150 --> 00:49.600
of themselves or the marines.
