Army to issue updated chemical protective suits for toxic command climates

Thank you for the share and mention ma'am.

It could be like my out of service job. They just didn’t want to spend money

Sharp eye. Those are an old "CPOG", crushed carbon variant. Not like the newer "JSLIST" that uses "carbon sphere" technology. Some other carbon based technology out there as well.
But, to tell you the truth, anything with a vapor pressure in a range that can be carbon filtered would need a heavy concentration to do any damage and is more likely to be encountered in liquid forms. More volatile agents aren't going to absorb well through the skin, and would need a massive concentration to to harm in a vapor/gas state. One would accept a little risk, but Goretex (TM) out of the box would provide sufficient protection in most cases.
