With this fully contained suite in place there would have been no way to have changed film or lenses during the operation. Another challenge was taking the photographs. With the full suite and respirator in place the camera would be so far from the operator that the viewing port of the camera is not accessible. Reverting back to the cup and saucer method of firearms training assisted in placing the camera in the right direction and angles for taking the pictures. The suites are not flexible or easy to work in.
Every movement has to be slow and deliberate.
Bending and stooping is almost impossible. We were able to document the scene from every position and angle. We then recovered the victim placing the body in a zippered pouch and carried it from the field. Special precautions were taken to prevent the pouch from becoming contaminated. We went back to our designated area for the pouch to be loaded for transport.
