Anyone ever heard of LAV-JSLNBRCRS?

Wikipedia states that the USMC has a LAV-JSLNBCRS or Light Armored Veicle Joint Service Light Nuclear Biological Chemnical Reconnaisance System. Anyone who can confirm this?

I don't think it was ever fielded. Most article I see are from around 2001. Once we got involved in A'stan and Iraq, most NBC associated equipment and training fell by the wayside as it was no longer a priority in the then-current fight. https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/budget/fy2001/dot-e/other/01jslnbcrs.html]More info here.

Not quite true. As most of the "non-existent" WMD in Iraq found its way into Syrian hands, (and its use well documented) my team was quite well trained in locating and reporting caches of material.
Where it found its way across the border is not hard for anyone to figure out who knows where I was in 2008. Bad things coming in - bad things going out...

Shortly after that my involvement with Korea started and continues to this day. We train quite a bit for all eventualities there. In fact JSLIST is drawn at CIF on the first full day in country, for everyone. No idea which NBC vehicles we use there, if any. For some reason Canada pretty much leads the coalition in CBRN capabilities there.

Again, I am talking about big Army, not Special Ops. After the initial invasion in '03, I didn't do any other NBC training up until I retired in '17. When I went back to Iraq in '08-'09, we took our masks and JSLIST suits, but they were stuffed in the bottom of our duffle bags and stayed there all year.

Oh, I know all about the WMD materials that left Iraq. I was there in '03 as well.
