In the days of asymmetrical warfare: chemical weapons are a mainstay. Chemical warfare has introduced a powerful weapon called blood agents; considered one of the most deadly. No one organization is a primary source of blood agents, but they are a threat of the destruction of organs within a living organism; the human body. The reduced cost of warfare by these agents increases the bang for the buck with less quantity storage or hiding in plain sight made accessible. Past events such as the Tokyo subway attacks and the 9/11 attacks on the homeland were one of the most significant acts of asymmetrical warfare; along with the ongoing war efforts the United States was informed from Dessert Storm to Afghanistan. General Patton's days of bullets and beans in war have evolved into the air you breathe may be your last due to the development of chemical warfare and its asymmetrical capabilities to kill almost instantly. Anyone with blood in their veins, even those releasing the deadly chemical are subject to exposure, contamination, and death. The medical field and battlefield go hand in hand with technological advances within the confines of the Armed Services have proven prudent to the tactical expertise of our Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear (CBRN) leaders we develop today and in the future. Madmen, war pioneers or terrorists who use blood agents.
