#1 1. One does not 'accidentally' deploy CS powder along several hundred feet of terrain. CS is considered a munition, and there is a long, long chain of people who have to sign off on using it. And if these geniuses didn't take wind into effect while deploying a chemical munition, even a training/riot control one, they need to be busted out of the Army now.

2. If there was concern about soldiers 'leaving the course', then there are far, far worse problems at FT Carson. If one cannot trust one's soldiers to go where they are told to go and stay on a directed path, 4ID may be in deep trouble.

#2 Yeah, if they have to use CS to 'deter them from leaving the course' there's a lot more in the wind than the CS.
