Smoke Agent

Smoke agents are chemical substances that are used to produce smoke for various purposes, including military operations, training exercises, and signaling. They are classified as military chemical agents and fall under the supply class of Ammunition and Explosives.

Smoke agents are typically designed to produce dense clouds of smoke when ignited or dispersed. The smoke can be colored or colorless, depending on the specific formulation and intended use. These agents are commonly used to create smoke screens to obscure visibility, provide cover for military movements, or mark targets for aerial or ground-based operations.

The use of smoke agents in military operations can provide tactical advantages by limiting the enemy's ability to observe and target friendly forces. They can also be used for training purposes, such as simulating battlefield conditions or practicing smoke-based tactics.

It is important to note that the use and handling of smoke agents require proper training and adherence to safety protocols. These substances can be hazardous if not used correctly, and their use is regulated by military authorities to ensure the safety of personnel and the environment.
