Q

3 Types of CBR Surveys

A

Point - conducted to ensure time sensitive operations can be conducted without unwarned encounters with chemical agent clouds/transfer hazards resulting from munitions event

Area - to provide tailored detection capability in tactical situations where it is impractical to employ remote point samplers

Reconnaissance - conducted to reduce time required to perform Nuclear Biological Chemical Recon System’s primary mission to increase confidence that area is uncontaminated

Find boundary of contamination & routes around or through contaminated area.

Recon Team Determines:

are there chemical agents present?

if agent is present, what type?

where and when agent first detected?

Is there clean route through area?

Q

Buddy Aid for Nerve Agent Exposure

A

Mask casualty

Position casualty on side

Find out if member injected the 1st set so no more than 3 sets are injected.

If he shows symptoms of nerve agent poisoning then give him a set.

If symptoms are severe then give him 2nd and 3rd set of injectors.

Give CANA w/ 3rd set of injectors to prevent convulsions.

Bend needles to form hook and attach to his clothes.

Q

Fallout

A

Major effect of surface, shallow underground/underwater burst

22
Q

MOPP Gear Exchange Site

A

At clean site 50 meters upwind of vehicle wash down

23
Q

Self-aid for Nerve Agent Exposure

A

Put on mask asap

Remove atropine from NAAK

Position green end of injector against injection site

Apply pressure to injector until it pushes needle into thigh

Hold injector in place for at least 10 seconds

Repeat same step with black end of 2PAM Cl

Bend needle into a hook attach to clothing

If you know what’s going on then you will not need 2nd injections

If symptoms continues, do the 2nd set of injections

24
Q

Super Tropical Bleach (STB)

A

reacts violently with liquid mustard agent

25
Q

MOPP 4

A

Mask worn

Over garment worn

Boots worn

Gloves worn

26
Q

Classifications of Nuclear Explosions

A

Airburst - below 100,000ft & fireball does not touch surface

High-altitude burst - above 100,000 ft

Surface Burst - on/above surface of earth & fireball touches surface

Underwater burst- detonation is below surface of water

Underground burst - detonation is below surface of ground

27
Q

JSLIST

A

Joint Service Lightweight Integrated Suit Technology

Not exposed:

6 launderings

45 days of wear

120 calendar days

Exposed:

24 hours

28
Q

Chemical Attack

A

Units should plan to conduct vehicle wash down & MOPP gear exhange between 1-6 hours of becoming contaminated.

Reduces degradation & improves unit’s ability to perform its mission

29
Q

Biological Agents

A

most effective means on large scale is through Aerosols which generally are invisible and ordorless

30
Q

Inspection & Maintenance of JSLIST

A

Before using JSLIST verify that factory vacuum seal is intact.

Check for Petroleum, Oil/Lubricant (POL)

Check for water

Check for rips/tears

Check for working drawstrings & fasteners

Check gloves & boots for rips & tears

31
Q

Electromagnetic Pulse Phenomenon (EMP)

A

radiation ionizes atmosphere around point of detonation

32
Q

3 Levels of Decontamination

A

Immediate - minimize casualties, save lives & stop the spread contamination. Consist of Skin and Equipment Decon.

Operational - reduce contact hazard & limit spread of contamination.

Thorough - reduce the need for personnel protective clothing, DTD and DED.

33
Q

A

indicates gamma radiation dose in range of 0 to 600R

34
Q

A

Equipment Decon Kit

used to wipe down mask, gloves, hood, and other gears

35
Q

Chemical Agents

A

Enter the body by victim’s breathing/swallowing/through skin

36
Q

4 Main Areas in Thorough Decon Site

A

Pre-decon staging area - 250 to 500 meters od DED/DTD site

DED - Primary wash, interior decon, rinse, check; To reduce contamination to negligible risk levels.

DTD - gear, mask, boots & hood decon. To remove contaminated MOPP gear from personnel and equipment to negligible risk levels.

Post-decon assembly area -

46
Q

Pre-attack CBR Actions

A

Higher units review HHQ decon plan to find out if plan will support unit’s mission.

Unit leader will conduct recon of designated decon sites.

if site cannot support decon operations, unit leader will find another site close to original site.

47
Q

Actions During CBR Attack

A

Unit leaders must asses situation & report to HQ.

Sitrep should include type of contamination, current location and assesment of his ability to perform current mission while contaminated & when he expects unit to become combat ineffective.
