Decontamination Team

Decontamination teams are specially trained 'demolitions' teams who are dispatched to deal with Infestations. Utilizing primarily flamethrowers and other incendiary devices, they are tasked with 'flash-burning' Infestations within a certain timeframe of their discovery. For the most part, this means simply clearing a safe-path into the middle of an Infestation, planting an extremely specialized  explosive device which is meant to burn the growth away, and to get out. They are rarely deployed in combat zones, but can occasionally be seen as fit to send in for very specialized tasks. It is considered to be one of the most dangerous generally non-combat roles in the UPDF military, and requires almost an entire year's worth of training. These teams are often refered to rather simply as 'burn-squads' by the rest of the military, and by a good deal of civilians. It is an unofficial saying of these types of teams that 'If everything goes right, it's a boring job. If it goes wrong, it's hell.'
