In fighting under biological warfare conditions you cannot simply stop fighting the war merely because the enemy has unleashed biological or chemical weapons and you must indeed abate the threat and eliminate the risks by removing the bio-toxins.

The best way to do this is through early detection and counter measures to remove and clean up the toxins or move thru them quickly until sensors show it is safe to remove specialty gear and then completely clean the equipment and use foam to remove any problematic situations.

This is easier said than done and one who studies warfare might agree to move towards a more Carl von Clauswitz approach if biological or chemical weapons were used. In other would remove the your team, leave equipment there and then use nuclear incineration on the entire population of the enemy to insure you have one.

In other words go from modern net-centric warfare to total annihilation warfare. And any nation worth their salt and serious about winning should consider this option and plausible and doable.

No it is not pretty, but once bio-weapons are used you either proceed thru them or you remove yourself from the threat and pull out all the stops? Too harsh to consider; yes maybe, but any enemy who would use these biological weapons on us, deserves no sympathy and neither do their airs. Consider this in 2006.
