Chemical Protective Suit

Major Steven Goligowski was an advisor with the Saudi Army 13 months before Operation Desert Storm.  He was on the First Infantry Division’s Support Command staff as the assistant S-3 and primary planner from 1990-1993.  Goligowski carried this chemical suit in its original bag as a lucky charm, luckily he was never hit by a chemical attack. While the suit was manufactured in 1978 it was carried in the early 1990s during Operation Desert Storm.
