Aircraft
On Date we were operating Aircraft X; from ZZZ to ZZZ1. We received a reroute and flight level change to 280 approaching the coast line due to military active airspace. On our initial descent into ZZZ1; we experienced a fume event concentrated in the cockpit. The First Officer continue to fly while I ran the cockpit/cabin odor recognition and isolation supplemental procedure located in Operations Manual. Once I completed step 9 of the procedure; a few minutes later the musty/chemical smell dissipated. We landed without further incident and a logbook entry was made. The aircraft was taken out of service shortly after arrival.
Air Carrier Captain reported a fume event during initial descent. Flight landed safely and crew provided a logbook entry resulting in the aircraft being taken out of service.
