CW Exercise Include! Simultaneous Land and Saaecent Cuban military exercised included defensive measureo takenimulated mustard gas attack against naval vessels at sea and ground troops. The ship squadron commander ordrred the contaminated craft to notify authorities of the level of contamination and to report to various port facilities toa water washdown. Ground forces were ordered to proceed

esignated area, effect decontamination, and relocateew ares.

From time-to-tirae, Cube injects CW defensive training into its exercises. This is the first time, however, that such training has been reflected in both land and seaat the same tine. Because the ships were directed to various port facilities, it in believed that the vessels received decontamination beyond mere vanhdown procedures and nay have included the use of some deoontaminant.
