> Chemical weapons are tactically useless for modern militaries [1]. You’re pretty much always better off pounding with high explosives.

Maybe you know something I don't but in country we were always MOPP Ready:

    MOPP Ready – Protective mask is carried. First set of suit, gloves, and boots are available within two hours, second set within six hours.
My mask was usually in the truck or in my pack. We qualify with our masks on a yearly basis. It could be argued that the chance of chemical deterrents that require MOPP 0 and above is negligible due to the our current landscape but that can honestly change based on the opponent or geography.
