NBCD Articles provide an in-depth analysis of certain topics related to NBC defensive equipment, using fully-referenced archive material and information not previously published. The articles will differ in size and format; some may be text-heavy while some may be quite short. There's no hard-and-fast rules over subject matter either; articles are written according to what material is available; occasional updates or re-writes may also occur as a result of new information coming to light.
Work is also currently underway to expand some of the pieces previously seen in the old 'Message Board Link' section; none have been properly footnoted yet.

Interactive Footnotes
[Note: Interactive foonotes currently only apply to article nos. 1,4,6 and 9.]
Footnote numbers in the text have been set as links. When you move the mouse over the number, a small pop-up window will appear, and the relevant footnote will appear at the top of that window, providing you have checked the 'Interactive Footnotes' box in the navigation bar at the top of each article page.
This interactive system will only work if your browser supports JavaScript, and you don't have software/browser options that kill pop-up windows.
The pop-up window will always appear in the same place on-screen - therefore, make sure that the number of the footnote you want to read is NOT in the area of the screen that will be covered by the window when it appears - the window will flicker rapidly and you won't be able to read it! If this does happen, just scroll the page down until the footnote number will not be covered by the pop-up. The pop-up window will close when you move the mouse off the footnote number - if this does not happen, close the window in the usual way.
The alternative method for viewing footnotes is simply to click the footnote number - this will take you down to the list at the bottom of the page, with the relevant footnote at the top of the screen. If you're using Internet Explorer, using the 'Back' button will take you to your exact place in the text. Other browsers seem to just reload the page and leave you at the beginning of the text, which was partly the reason I developed the interactive system.
