1st Lt. Robert Boyer observes as a team of Italian Army Hazmat Soldiers approaches a building storing chemical waste and Kosovo Security Forces CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives) company suit up in white chemical protective gear, Oct. 1, 2020 at one of Kosovo’s largest energy plants in Obilic/Obiliq, Kosovo.
