Manually Carried Disperser And Riot Control Agent

Manually Carried Disperser (MCD) and Riot Control Agent (RCA) are both types of military chemical agents that fall under the supply class of Military Chemical Agents in the supply group of Ammunition and Explosives.

1. Manually Carried Disperser (MCD):
- MCD is a type of chemical agent that is designed to be manually carried and dispersed by military personnel.
- It is typically used for crowd control or riot suppression purposes.
- MCDs are often in the form of handheld devices or canisters that release a non-lethal chemical agent to disperse or incapacitate individuals in a targeted area.
- These agents are intended to temporarily incapacitate or immobilize individuals without causing significant harm or long-term effects.

2. Riot Control Agent (RCA):
- RCA is a type of chemical agent that is specifically formulated for riot control situations.
- It is used by law enforcement or military personnel to disperse or control crowds during civil unrest or riot situations.
- RCAs are typically non-lethal and are designed to cause temporary discomfort, irritation, or incapacitation to individuals exposed to them.
- Common examples of RCAs include tear gas, pepper spray, or other irritant agents.

Both MCDs and RCAs are considered non-lethal chemical agents and are used primarily for crowd control purposes. They are designed to minimize harm and avoid causing permanent injury or fatalities.
