VIDEO STORY TRANSCRIPT --  For more than 20 years the Air Force has used the MCU-2 gas mask. But in 2009 that all changed when the M-50 gas mask was tested and approved. And now the M-50 has made its way to Ellsworth Air Force Base. The new mask has several features that Airmen might find appealing.

How can you find out if you will be issued a new gas mask? Contact your Unit Deployment Manager.

But one thing is certain; the M-50 gas mask could change the way we look at chemical protection. Reporting from Ellsworth Air Force Base South Dakota, I'm Airman First Class Kate Walker.
