The primary function of the M295 kit is to decontaminate equipment. This kit is specifically designed to facilitate the removal of chemical and biological agents from surfaces of equipment, vehicles, and various gear. It employs a chemical decontaminant solution that neutralizes or removes contaminants, ensuring that the equipment can be safely handled and used again.

While the options of medical treatment for contaminated personnel, detection of chemical agents, and protection against chemical exposure play important roles in overall chemical defense strategy, they are not the primary purpose of the M295 kit. The focus of the M295 is strictly on equipment decontamination rather than personnel treatment or protection. Hence, understanding the dedicated role of the M295 kit reinforces the importance of maintaining operational readiness and safety after exposure to potential chemical hazards.
