Block 5 - CBRNE Warfare Flashcards
What is the employment of chemical agents that are intended for use in military operations to kill, seriously injure, or incapacitate personnel due to the physiological effect?
Chemical warfare
What are the types of chemical agents?
Nerve, blister, blood and choking agents
What are the liquid casualty agents that disrupt nerve impulses to the body while damaging body functions rather than tissue?
Nerve agents
What are examples of nerve agents?
Sarin (GB)
Tabun (GA)
Soman (GD)
VX
what are liquid or solid casualty agents that can use inflammation, blisters, and general destruction of tissue which often result in temporary blindness and or death?
blister agents
what are examples of blister agents?
distilled mustard (HD)
lewisite (L)
phosgene oxime (CX)
levinstein mustard gas (HL)
what are gaseous casualty agents that attack the enzymes carry oxygen in the bloodstream, with rapid breathing or choking that may occur due to lack of oxygen in the blood?
blood agents
what are examples of blood agents?
hydrogen cyanide (AC) synagen chloride (CK) arsine (SA)
what are gaseous or liquid casualty agents with initial symptoms include tears, dry throat, nausea, vomiting and headache and the lungs can become filled with fluid, making the victim feel as if they are drowning, causing breathing to become rapid and shallow?
choking agents
what are examples of choking agents?
phosgene (CG)
diphosgene
what detects the presence of liquid chemical agents by turning a red or reddish color, it does not detect chemical agent Vapors?
M9 chemical agent detector paper
what is used at specific therapy for nerve agent casualties and they are issued for intramuscular injection, Self Aid or first-aid?
atropine / 2 Pam chloride auto injector
what is the use of agents to cause disease, sickness, or death to reduce the effectiveness of opposing combat enforces?
biological warfare
what is used as biological agents to include bacteria, rickettsia, viruses, fungi, protozoa and prions?
pathogens
what is the primary way to limit the chemical and biological warfare impact?
training and awareness of personnel
to accomplish this all Personnel shall have access to ______ while in the workstations and be aware of ventilation controls, fittings, and closures that must be set immediately prior to an attack
individual protective equipment (IPE)
what does ACPG stand for?
Advanced chemical protective garment
IPE for chemical/biological agent environments consist of
protective mask MCU-2P with components (C-2 canister)
Advanced chemical protective garment (ACPG)
chemical protective gloves and liners
chemical protective over Boots & laces
skin decontamination kit
what is the deliberate use of radiological weapons to produce widespread injury and death of all life?
radiological Warfare
what type of nuclear explosion occurs at altitudes in excess of 100,000 feet, with ionosphere disruptions and EMP?
high altitude air burst
what type of nuclear explosion occurs when a fireball does not reach the surface, in the vacuum created collect debris caused by the severe blast damage resulting in radiation Fallout?
air burst
what type of nuclear explosion that has the worst fall out due to the fire ball touching the surface which results in massive radioactive fallout?
surface burst
what type of nuclear explosion has a small Fireball and blastwave however it causes large waves and water contamination?
shallow underwater burst
what type of nuclear explosion is similar to the shallow underwater burst but with less visual effect and yields greater contaminated water?
deep underwater burst
these shipboard shielding stations are just inside the weather envelope, with access to deep shelter and they provide minimum Shielding from nuclear radiation and allow the crew to remain in close to battle stations
ready shelter stations
these stations are low in the ship and near the center line and they provide maximum shielding from nuclear radiation, after requiring Personnel to be far removed from Battle Stations
deep shelter stations
what is a non self reading high range casualty dosimeter, which has to be placed in a special radiac computer indicator to determine the total amount of gamma radiation to which the wearer is exposed in the 0-600 roentgens?
DT-60 dosimeter
what is a management tool that is used to coordinate the use of systems of an equipment in chemical or biological environment?
