The M256 Series Chemical Warfare Agent Detector Kit was a portable, expendable kit,
capable of detecting and identifying hazardous concentrations of blister, blood, and nerve agents.
This kit was used after a chemical warfare agent warning to test for and confirm the presence
and type of chemical warfare agent, and to determine if it were safe to unmask.
