  NBC DETECTION AND WARNING REPORTS
  11-66. The OPFOR transmits NBC warning information over communica-
  tions channels in a parallel form using both the command net and the air
  defense and NBC warning communications net. Depending of what type of
  unit initially detected the contamination, detection reports leading to such
  warnings may go either through chemical defense and force protection chan-
  nels or through the maneuver unit or ground reconnaissance reporting chain.
  Detection Reports
  11-67. Upon detection of contamination, an NBC observer or NBC reconnais-
  sance patrol normally transmits an NBC detection report to the chief of force
  protection on the staff of the commander that sent out the observer or patrol.
  When NBC observers (whether from the chemical troops or another branch)
  are attached to regular ground reconnaissance forces, security forces, or ma-
  neuver units, the NBC observers that detect contamination would initially
  pass the detection report through reconnaissance or maneuver unit reporting
  channels. Of course, they would also report the detection to the commander
  of the unit to which they are attached. When the maneuver unit chief of staff
  or chief of reconnaissance receives an NBC detection report through his own
  channels, he immediately passes it to the chief of force protection at that level.
  Warning Reports
  11-68. The chief of force protection and his staff evaluate the NBC detection
  report and determine whether it warrants the issuing of a warning. If it does,
  they inform the maneuver commander (or his chief of staff). At this point,
  the NBC detection report changes into an NBC warning report. Then, the
  maneuver commander (or chief of staff) disseminates the NBC warning re-
  port via his command net to all subordinate unit commanders and via the
  next-higher commander’s command net to the higher commander and other
  subordinates of that command. Simultaneously, the chief of force protection
  disseminates the same report to all of his own command’s subordinates over
  the air defense and NBC warning communications net. He would also inform
  the chief of force protection at the next-higher headquarters. The desired goal
  it to disseminate the warning as rapidly as possible to all affected units.
  11-69. The chief of force protection (and/or the chief of staff) may issue an
  advance NBC warning based on the predicted development of an NBC
  situation. NBC protective measures would change or be rescinded based on
  subsequent NBC detection reports or on warning reports from higher, lower,
  or adjacent units. Changes in the NBC protective measures are disseminated
  by the maneuver commander or chief of staff and the chief force protection
  using their respective communications nets.
  SMOKE
  11-70. The OPFOR plans to employ smoke extensively on the battlefield
  whenever the situation permits. Use of smoke can make it difficult for the
  enemy to conduct observation, determine the true disposition of OPFOR
  troops, and conduct fires (including precision weapon fires) or air attacks.
  The possible presence of toxic smokes may cause the enemy to use chemical
