Question 1

CHEMICAL WARFARE

Answer 1

NERVE AGENTS, BLISTER AGENTS, BLOOD AGENTS, CHOKING AGENTS,

Question 2

NERVE AGENTS

Answer 2

LIQUID CASUALTY AGENTS THAT DISRUPT NERVE IMPULSES TO THE BODY WHILE DAMAGING BODY FUNCTIONS RATHER THAN TISSUE.

Question 3

BLISTER AGENTS

Answer 3

LIQUID OR SOLID CASUALTY AGENTS. CAUSE INFLAMATION, BLISTERS, AND DESTRUCTION OF TISSUES. OFTEN RESULTS IN TEMPORARY BLINDNESS/DEATH.

Question 4

EXAMPLES OF NERVE AGENTS

Answer 4

SARIN(GB), TABUN (GA), SOMAN (GD), AND VX.

Question 5

EXAMPLES OF BLISTER AGENTS

DISTILLED MUSTARD (HD), LEWISITE (L), PHOSGENE OXIME (CX), LEVENSTEIN MUSTARD (HL)

Question 6

BLOOD AGENTS

Answer 6

GASEOUS CASUALTY AGENTS THAT ATTACK THE ENZYMES CARRYING OXYGEN IN THE BLOOD. RAPID BREATHING AND CHOKING MAY OCCUR DUE TO LACK OF OXYGEN.

Question 7

EXAMPLES OF BLOOD AGENTS

Answer 7

HYDROGEN CYANIDE(AC), CYANOGEN CHLORIDE (CK), ARSINE(SA)

Question 8

CHOKING AGENTS

Answer 8

GASEOUS OR LIQUID CASUALTY AGENTS WITH INITIAL SYMPTOMS THAT INCLUDE; TEARS, DRY THROAT, NAUSEA, VOMINTING, HEADACHE. THE LUNGS CAN BECOME FILLED WITH FLUID, MAKING THE VICTIM FEEL AS IF THEY ARE DROWNING,CAUSING BREATHE TO BECOME RAPID AND SHALLOW.

Question 9

EXAMPLES OF CHOKING AGENTS

Answer 9

PHOSGENE (CG), DIPHOSGENE

Question 10

Question 11

ATROPINE/2-PAM-CHLORIDE AUTO INJECTOR

Answer 11

USED AS A THERAPY FOR NERVE AGENT CASUALTIES, IM, FIRST-AID/SELF-AID

Question 12

BIOLOGICAL WARFARE

Answer 12

PATHOGENS, TOXINS

Question 13

PATHOGENS

Answer 13

BACTERIA, RICKETTSIA, VIRUSES, FUNGI, PROTOZOA AND PRIONS.

Question 14

TOXINS

Answer 14

CATEGORIZATION OF TOXINS IS BASED ON THE ORGANISMS (SOURCE) THAT PRODUCE THEM AND THE PHYSIOLOGICAL AFFECTS THE TOXINS CAUSE IN HUMANS.

Question 15

TOXINS; BY SOURCE

Answer 15

MYCOTOXINS (FUNGI), BACTERIAL, ALGAL, ANIMAL VENOMS, PLANT TOXINS

Question 16

TOXINS; BY PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS

Answer 16

NEUROTOXINS, CYTOTOXINS, ENTEROTOXINS AND DERMATOXINS

Question 17

INDIVIDUAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (IPE) FOR CHEMICAL/BIOLOGICAL WARFARE

Answer 17

PROTECTIVE MASK MCU-2P WITH COMPONENTS (C-2 CANISTER FILTER), ADVANCED CHEMICAL PROTECTIVE GARMENT (ACPG), CHEMICAL PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND LINERS, CHEMICAL PROTECTIVE OVERBOOTS AND LACES, SKIN DECONTAMINATION KIT.

Question 18

RADIOLOGICAL WARFARE

Answer 18

DELIBERATE USE OF RADIOLOGICAL WEAPONS TO PRODUCE WIDESPREAD INJURY AND DEATH OF ALL LIFE.

Question 19

HIGH ALTITUDE AIR BURST

Answer 19

OCCURS AT ALTITUDES IN EXCESS OF 100,000 FEET, WITH IONSPHERE DISRUPTIONS AND EMP.

Question 20

AIR BURST FIREBALL DOE SNOT REACH SURFACE

Answer 20

THE VACUUM CREATED COLLECTS DEBRIS CAUSED BY THE SEVERE BLAST DAMAGE RESULTING IN RADIATION FALLOUT.

Question 21

SURFACE BURST

Answer 21

WORST FALLOUT DUE TO THE FIREBALL TOUCHING THE SURFACE WHICH RESULTS IN MASSIVE RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT.

Question 22

SHALLOW UNDERWATER BURST

Answer 22

SMALL FIREBALL AND BLAST WAVE. CAUSES LARGE WAVES AND WATER CONTAMINATION.

Question 23

DEEP UNDERWATER BURSTS

Answer 23

SIMILAR TO SHALLOW, LESS VISUAL EFFECT AND YEILDS GREATER CONTAMINATED WATER.

Question 24

READY-SHELTER STATIONS

Answer 24

JUST INSIDE THE WEATHER ENVELOPE, WITH ACCESS TO DEEP-SHELTER. PROVIDES MINIMUM SHEILDING FROM NUCLEAR RADIATION AND ALLOW THE CREW TO STAY CLOSE TO BATTLE STATIONS.

Question 25

DEEP-SHELTER STATIONS

Answer 25

LOW IN THE SHIP AND NEAR THE CENTERLINE. PROVIDE MAXIMUM SHEILDING FROM NUCLEAR RADIATION, OFTEN REQUIRING PERSONNEL TO BE FAR REMOVED FROM BATTLE STATIONS.

Question 26

DT-60 DOSIMETER

Answer 26

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.

Question 27

MISSION ORIENTED PROTECTIVE POSTURE (MOPP)

Answer 27

MANAGE TOOL USED TO COORDINATE THE USE OF SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT IN CHEMICAL OR RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT.
