    Dean DeMark, the chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and environmental program manager for Fort Bragg, explains the features of the Ahura FirstDefender during a training session, at Pope Army Airfield, N.C., March 14. The Ahura is a new device that enables first responders to identify hazardous chemicals, pharmaceuticals and narcotics. “The Ahura lets us sample materials inside of bags and containers without opening them,” DeMark, a Fayetteville, N.C., native, said.
