LHBW – MOBILE SERVICE FOR NBC-PROTECTION

From June 2009, LHBw will equip the Armed Forces' soldiers not only with clothing and personal equipment, but also with personal NBC equipment for the first time. The handing over will not take place in the service centers but on site in the barracks by means of special vehicles (Mobile Service Points NBC) of LHBw. The LHBw staff will individually adapt the NBC masks M2000 and hand over the personal NBC articles to the soldiers.

The target dates will be agreed upon individually during the usual preliminary clothing meetings.

In the course of process optimization, the NBC mask M2000 will have a barcode in the future in order to track their lifecycle and be available in this form from July 2009.

Soldiers who received these new masks beforehand will, therefore, be newly changed over to a serialized mask. The priority of the equipment will be fixed by the Armed Forces Support Commando.

As a centralized control center for ordering and return of ABC articles, LHBw will establish a Service Center at the Kappel site, which will be available by phone and email. Exchange and returns will be handled by a parcel service, in case of need for adaptation LHBw will be on site with the NBC Service Vehicle.
