EMR
(Electromagnetic Radiation)
HERO

Shielding
- A housing, screen, or other object, usually conducting, that substantially reduces the magnitude of
electric or magnetic fields on one side thereof, upon devices or circuits on the other side.
Explain the correct procedure to follow in the event of a diving casualty
- In the event of a diving casualty or mishap on dive station, calm must be maintained. Maintain
silence on the side and take orders from the Diving Officer, Master Diver, and/or Diving Supervisor
Name the primary Underwater Breathing Apparatuses (UBA) and their purpose used in
EOD diving operations
MK 16 MOD 0 Closed Circuit Mixed-Gas UBA
MK 16 MOD 1 Closed Circuit Mixed-Gas UBA
MK-25 Closed Circuit Oxygen UBA
OTPA (Oxygen Transfer Pump Assembly)
- Used in diving operations to transfer or draw oxygen from a cylinder at low pressure until the proper
cylinder pressure is reached, allowing for most of the oxygen in the tank being utilized, while also
conserving gas.
Diving Air Compressor
- Many air supply systems used in Navy diving operations include at least one air compressor as a
source of air. To properly select such a compressor, it is essential that the diver have a basic
understanding of the principles of gas compression
INFIL (Infiltration)
The movement through or into an area or territory occupied by either friendly or enemy troops or
organizations
EXFIL (Exfiltration)
- The removal of personnel or units from areas under enemy control by stealth, deception, surprise, or
clandestine means.

- The procedures and operations whereby military personnel and other selected individuals are
enabled to emerge from an enemy-held or hostile area to areas under friendly control.
OTH (Over-the-Horizon)
- An operational initiative launched from beyond visual and radar range of the shoreline.
Rally point
- An established objective or meeting location. Used on patrols as a location to reassemble if the
patrol is dispersed, ambushed or surprised by enemy attack.
Counter-ambush drills (Immediate action drills)
- Determined by whether the ambush is near or far
Far ambush
Near ambush
Evasion Charts.
- The Evasion Chart (EVC) is designed to assist isolated personnel to evade capture and survive in
hostile territory and to provide evaders with a means of navigating to a SAFE or other recovery point.
Chart Scale
- The EVC is a derivative of a standard product, the Joint Operations Graphic (JOG), and is made up
of approximately eight 1:250,000-scale JOG charts, usually four on each side.
Travel Routes, Plans and Techniques
- If not on file, the route points must be described in the EPA for both INGRESS and EGRESS. When
flights are involved, emergency plans for each leg should be described.
Recovery / Contact Points, Signals / Signs and Procedures.
- Should be written out or sketched in the EPA to include communication and authentication
procedures such as color and/ or letter of the day/month/quarter, code words, etc. Signals should be
established and planning for signaling includes types of signals used, radio, beacon, mirror, strobe
etc.
