Block V

Question 1

Liquid casualty agents that disrupt nerve impulses. Examples: Sarin (GB) and Tabun (GA)

Answer 1

Nerve Agents

Question 2

Liquid or solid casualty agents that cause inflammation, blisters, and general destruction of tissues. Examples: Distilled Mustard (HD) and Lewisite (L)

Answer 2

Blister Agents

Question 3

Gaseous casualty agents that attack the enzymes carrying oxygen in blood stream. Rapid breathing or chocking may occur due to lack of oxygen. Examples: Hydrogen Cyanide (AC) and Arsine (SA).

Answer 3

Blood Agents

Question 4

Gaseous or liquid casualty agents with initial symptoms that include tears, dry throat, nausea, vomiting, headache. The lungs become filled with fluid, making the victim feel like they are drowning. Examples: phosgene (CG) and diphosgene.

Answer 4

Choking Agents

Question 5

This detects the presence of liquid chemical agents by turning red or reddish color, but does not detect vapors.

Answer 5

M9 Chemical Agent Detector Paper

Question 6

Used as biological agents that include bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc.

Answer 6

Pathogens

Question 7

Used as biological agents and is based on organisms that produce it

Answer 7

Toxins

Major groupings are mycotoxins, bacterial toxins, animal venoms, and plant toxins.

Question 8

What occurs at altitudes in excess of 100,000 feet, with ionosphere disruptions and EMP

Answer 8

High altitude air burst

Question 9

Where the fireball does not reach the surface. The vacuum collects debris

Answer 9

Air burst

Question 10

Had worst radiation fallout due to fireball touching the surface

Answer 10

Surface burst

Question 11

Small fireball and blast wave, but causes large waves and water contamination

Answer 11

Shallow underwater burst

Question 12

Less visual effect than shallow but yields greater contaminated water

Answer 12

Deep underwater burst

Question 13

These are just inside the weather envelope. They provide minimum shielding from radiation and allow crew to remain close to battle stations.

Answer 13

Ready-shelter stations

Question 14

These are low in the ship and near the centerline. Provide maximum shielding from radiation, requiring personnel to be far from battle stations.

Answer 14

Deep-shelter stations

Question 15

This is a non-self-reading high range dosimeter to determine amount of gamma radiation is exposed in the 0-600 roentgens.

Answer 15

DT-60 dosimeter

Question 16

used as specific therapy for nerve agent casualties, issued for intramuscular injection, self-aid or first aid

Answer 16

Atropine/2-PAM-chloride Auto Injector

Question 17

most important decision in the risk management of chemical agent environments

Answer 17

Employ Individual Protective Equipment (IPE)

Question 18

IPE for chemical/biological agent environments consists of

Answer 18

• Protective mask
• Advanced chemical protective garment (ACPG)
• Chemical protective gloves and liners
• Chemical protective overboots and laces
• Skin decontamination kit

Question 19

What is MOPP?

Answer 19

Mission Oriented Protective Posture

management tool used to coordinate use of systems and equipment in chemical or biological environment

Question 20

How many MOPP levels?

Answer 20

5
