The U.S. Military has more than 5 million units of M8, M9 & 3-way Chemical Agent Liquid Detectors in use today! They are standard issue & are considered the most essential piece of chemical detection gear used by individual soldiers. Currently, every branch of the U.S. Military uses these 3 Chemical Agent Liquid Detector Papers. No longer used by Canadian military and para-military institutions.
