		However, both masks suffered from the inadequate protective capabilities of their facepiece, which was of a latex polymer susceptible to corrosion from Blister agents.

	M40 FPM carrier: mobility killer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-25)
		Paratroopers assembling into intact units after a mass combat jump cannot afford to be fumbling with their rucksacks trying to remove their field protective masks (FPMs), then undress their LBEs so they can strap the huge M40 FPM carrier on to their legs while on the drop zone under possible enemy fire.
		The current M40 FPM carrier was supposed to be an improvement over the old M17A1/A2 FPM carrier which had two half-snap buttons, notorious for popping open during jumps and had to be taped close.
		Marching with the M40 FPM carrier is dreadful; try an Expert Infantryman's Badge (EIB) 12-mile forced march in 3 hours with it dangling on your legs using the strap arrangement supplied; you can attain marginal mobility only through sheer force of will and bruises and abrasions later.

		Limited quantities have already been provided to the soldiers in the AOR (area of responsibility)....Although the M17 series mask has an internal filter that requires more time to change than the screw-on canister type of the M40 mask, our doctrine does not advocate the exchange of either type of filters in a contaminated environment.
