4-3: Chem & Bio Defense Flashcards
What are the five components of CB defense?
1) Detect/ID/Monitor
2) Info management (exchange info sea to shore about incident, six standard CBRN messages)
3) Physical protection (IPE, CPS)
4) Hazard management (pre-hazard precaution, hazard control, decon)
5) Medical countermeasures (triage, decon, treatment)
What does Individual Protective Equipment (IPE) consist of?
mask, gloves, overgarment, footwear
CBRN 1*
observer’s report
CBRN 2
passes evaluated data from collected CBRN 1 inputs
CBRN 3*
provides immediate warning of predicted contamination
CBRN 4*
passes monitoring results when either attack is not observed and first indication is from sensors or contamination measured by the survey team
CBRN 5
passes info detailing areas of contamination
CBRN 6
describes CBRN incident in detail (like from the White House)
designed to provide filtered air to designated zones, protecting internal spaces from external contamination
Collective Protection System (CPS)
On non-CPS ships, close ________ ________ fittings
Circle Williams
What is the purpose of the use of the CMWD system?
enables ship to wet and wash down all upper deck surfaces, thereby reducing residual contamination; less effective when activated AFTER a chemical agent has been deposited
What are the different methods of hazard management?
pre-hazard precaution, hazard control, decontamination
What are the three main components in the treatment process for a CBRN casualty?
Triage, Decontamination, Treatment
What is the Chemical, Biological, and Radiological Defense (CBR-D) Bill?
provides guidance on executing defensive measures prior to and during an attack and DCA is in charge of maintaining it
What kinds of enclosures does the CBR-D Bill include?
CMWD activation, location of Circle Williams fittings, Decontamination priority list, MOPP levels, procedures for issuing IPE, purge ship procedures, biological attack pre-planned response procedures
Where are the training requirements outlined?
Surface Force Training Manual
Who promulgates MOPP levels, and what are they based on?
CO or higher authority, based on threat, temperature, work rate, hydration requirements, and mission
MOPP-0
-when enemy has CB employment capability, but not indication of use in the immediate future
-DCA ensures IPE is onboard and inventoried
-Size and assign IPE
MOPP-1
-used in area of SUSPECTED CB threat
-medical issues Skin Decon Kits (SDKs)
-issue IPE to all personnel
-inspect operational equipment (M8/M9, RADIACs)
-CO sets readiness condition III and Yoke
MOPP-2
-used in area of POSSIBLE CB threat
-mask in carrier attached to each member
-decon supplies pre-positioned
-CO sets modified Zebra
-activate and monitor CB detection/sampling equipment
-M8 is posted
MOPP-3
-used when CB attack is PROBABLE
-CO sets GQ
-CO sets full Zebra
-non-essential personnel move inside skin of ship
-suit and boots are donned
-canteens filled with water
-decon stations are activated
CMWD activated intermittently
MOPP-4
-used when CB attack is IMMINENT
-don mask and gloves
-CO sets GQ
-CO can set Circle Williams as required
-CMWD activated continuously
Who conducts a survey of the entire ship after an attack?
Monitoring team
When should M61 filter canisters be replaced?
when center of patch turns blue/black, after one blood agent attack
