CBRNE Flashcards
TLO
terminal learnimng objective = main objective of learning
ELO
enabled learning objective = subordinate learning objective. = subskills
problem of chemical weapon delivery
chem hazards can be deployed with other weapons
vapors can permeate small cracks in vehicles, ships, aircraft, buildings
ways chem weapons are dispersed
rockets
spray devices
industrial accidents
mines
aircraft bombs
traits/properties of chemical weapons
physical state
odor
viscosity
volatility
stability in storage
reaction
duration effectiveness
persistency - lasting hrs/days
method of dissemination, weather, terrain controls
letting rain wash away chemical weaopns
weathering
physical properties fo chemical eapons
vapor
density/pressure
volatility
boiling/freezing point
ROE of a chemical weapon
route of exposure
why is knowing if a chemical weapon is stable or unstable important
are they stable/unstable with water. know b/c we often use water to decontaminate
GA
Tabun
GB
Sarin
GD
Soman
examples of nerve agents
tabun
sarin
soman
VX
effects of Nerve agents
attacks basic life functions
= body only contracts
AChesterese is imnhibited so buildup of ACh
= uncontrollable release death from cardiac/respiratory arrest
RSDL
reactive skin decontamination lotion
aka blister agents
vesicants
severe blister agents
eyelid edema
corneal damage
labored breathing
eye pain
death for blood agents
minutes
protective gear for blood agents
just a mask b/c it is only a respiratory hazard
BUT
will damage3/degrade equipmement so correct filter is key
examples of blood CBRNE
cyanide
affect of cyanide
prevents cellular respiration and transport of O2
causing
respiratory arrest and cessation fo heart activity
4 types of incapacitating agents
delirants
stimulants
psodellics..
- interfere w/higher functions of the brain like memory, perception, planing, judgment, motivation, attention, motivation
agent used in our gas chamber
CS
pepper spray
OC
- irritant/lacrimtor, redness of tissue
application fo respiratory irritants
designed as mask breakers and forces troop to remove their mask. throw up so remove mask and expose to worse.
blow out, don’t take off mask
Chlorine gas
choking agent and TIC
- spasms of larnx, burnes eys/nose/thraot
what is our equipment meant to do
equipment is meant for use to leave safely not sustain combat
- put on and get out
Japanese Unit 731
grusome experiments
stabbed w/umbrella
1978 Bulgaria Georgi Markov killed by KGG/Bulgarian secret service w/stell pellet w/ricin
attack on US immediately after 9/11
anthrax via envelopes
year US destroyed its bio weapons
1975
examples of bacterial bio agents
anthrax
tularemia
brucellosis
virus
parasites that live in cell hosts and replicate inside the cells of hosts
rickettsia
intracellular parasite transmitted by vectors
- requires living tissue for reproduction
“zombie deer”
zombie deer
rickettsia
consider bio attack
odd displacement of disease,
off-season,
dissemination intended to reach specific
atmospheric conditions of bio agents
eboli can’t survive in the north
smallpox reservoirs
no natural reservoir other than humans
treat smallpox if exposed
vaccine 3-5 days post exposure
only 12mil doses left. 1 out of every 23
