The M291 is used to decontaminate exposed skin in a chemical environment and prior to entering the contamination control area.

True
False

The correct answer is: True

The statement is true because the M291 is specifically designed as a decontamination kit for use on exposed skin in chemical environments. It contains absorbent powder that helps neutralize and remove chemical agents from the skin’s surface. This is particularly critical in military settings, where personnel may encounter chemical threats. Using the M291 before entering a contamination control area is also essential for ensuring that contaminants are removed and do not spread further into clean areas, thereby protecting both the individual and the integrity of the area's safety measures. This emphasizes the importance of personal decontamination as a preventive measure in chemical warfare scenarios.
