A disrobe module originally allocated to Suffolk has been transferred to Bedfordshire.

The re-robe modules contain 1,500 re-robe packs for use by decontaminated casualties

and one MD4 firefighter decontamination shower structure.

Thirty-six disrobe modules and fourteen re-robe modules have been allocated on a regional basis in accordance with the following table. Each module is issued with a prime mover.

.

The principal decontamination equipment in the event of a major chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear incident is provided by the eighty incident response units in England and Wales. However consumable materials, such as detergents, disrobing packs and re-robing packs will need to be replenished as decontamination progresses. Therefore disrobe and re-robe modules with further stocks of consumables have been provided as part of the New Dimension programme. These are demountable units, supplied and fitted out by John Dennis Coachbuilders, to be carried on prime movers.
