A training film based on medical defense against chemical warfare and biological warfare in the United States. The criteria for selecting a biological warfare agent includes infectivity, pathogenicity, persistency, casualty effectiveness, possibility of artificial transmission, immunization and therapy and availability. Shows how an ideal BW (biological warfare) agent affects exposed personnel. Pathogenicity tests in laboratory shows a laboratory worker giving intraperitoneal injection of botulism to a mouse. A one ounce bottle contains 250 million lethal of a toxin. A technician in a government laboratory works. The technician drops one of the bottle containing viruses. Taking the usual precautions he washes his hands. A training film based on medical defense against biological warfare in the United States.

A training film based on medical defense against chemical warfare and biological warfare, in the United States during the Cold War. Animation depicts the ability of a biological agent to survive as an aerosol spray. An aerosol spray containing disease producing agents spreads in a building which is a part of harbor installations. Animation depicts spread of pathogens through pipelines. U.S. Medics carry biological warfare casualties into a hospital, where a sign out front reads, "Quarantine." Patients on hospital beds are treated in a group ward area with many hospital beds, orderlies, and nurses moving about.
A training film on medical defense against biological warfare in the United States. The proficiency of a biological warfare agent like pathogen to transfer through a artificial route shows U.S. soldiers having food and water. Technicians carry out biological warfare test. Accidental incidents occur due to use of a blender and a centrifuge. A technician works with a powder containing yellow fever virus. Animation depicts transmission cycle of the yellow fever. Animation depicts a harbor area. The soldiers eating in a mess.
A training film based on biological warfare. U.S. soldiers get immunization shots in a hospital in the United States. Animation depicts vaccinations for diseases like small pox, yellow fever, tetanus and botulism and shows how immunity is overcome by a biological agent if the exposure is by an airborne route. Several drug bottles. A patient being treated in a hospital. He lays in a hospital bed and receives an innoculation shot. Shows how the biological agent is resistant to any drug to achieve greatest affect. An officer examines pathogen samples at his desk. A technician at an instrument works over a pathogen. Ability of pathogens and other viruses to grow in large quantities is tested in determination of its availability. The technician at various plant equipment used for bacteriological work. Shows how different laboratories and plants are converted into biological warfare production centers and how stabilization of biological agents can be done after mass production. Technicians at various instruments and plant equipment. The technicians preserve the biological agents.
A training film dramatizes the methods of disseminating biological warfare agents in the United States. Small scale method of disseminating biological warfare agent to sabotage key personnel and key installations shows a skilled plumber contaminating the water supply of a military reservation with a pathogen. Various other methods can be used to contaminate food and ice cream. U.S. military personnel eating at tables. Unprocessed or uncooked food can also be contaminated. Infective material being put into a ventilation system by a man. A missile heads for a target depicting large scale airborne method of disseminating biological warfare agent. Men carrying a submarine designed for biological warfare at a beach. Rockets equipped with biological warheads being fired from a ship. Usage of aircraft shows an aircraft dropping a bomblet to achieve greater affect. The aircraft equipped with tanks flies low over a field. Animation depicts the selection of microorganism.
