- We protect troops using detection devices, protective gear, training, and in other ways.
- However, these means of Force Protection have their limitations. People can't stay in protective gear for days on end and perform well. Our bioweapon detectors don’t work fast enough to prevent exposure to the smallpox virus. There is no treatment, no antibiotic, for smallpox.

- Vaccines provide the only round-the-clock protection.
- Vaccines, combined with other measures, offer the best chance for individual survival and mission accomplishment.
