This one orders the US government to provide "non lethal" chemical weapon assistance to "selected" rebel groups in Syria.
Part of this will include gas masks and other protective equipment.
It also allows for the Obama administration to send "non lethal" chemical weapons for the rebels to use.
The most common examples of non lethal chemical weapons are tear gas and pepper spray.
However, pyschochemicals or temporary paralytics are both types of "non lethal" chemical weapons.
Obama made the move just hours after the UN confirmed that sarin nerve gas had been used, in Syria.
