Forward surgical teams (FST) are either organic to divisional and nondivisional medical units or are forward deployed in support of divisional or nondivisional medical companies to provide a surgical capability. Field Manual 8–10-25 describes FST operations. However, when forward deployed and NBC contamination is imminent the FST must employ collective protection in order to continue their support mission. When operating in a contaminated area the FST CBPS Systems must be complexed with the DCS CBPS. The FST cannot operate in an NBC environment without the support of the DCS. They do not have the capability to decontaminate patients. All patients are decontaminated in the DCS patient decontamination area. They are then processed into the EMT section of the DCS; where they are triaged and routed to the FST for surgery, if required. See Appendix F for FST employment of collective protection procedures.
