CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL AND RADIOLOGICAL WARFARE. Flashcards
WHAT IS CHEMICAL WARFARE?
THE EMPLOYMENT OF CHEMICAL AGENTS THAT ARE INTENDED FOR USE IN MILITARY OPERATION TO KILL.
NERVE AGENTS
LIQUID CASUALTY AGENTS THAT DISRUPT NERVE IMPULSES. DAMAGING BODY FUNCTIONS.
BLISTER AGENTS?
LIQUID OR SOLID CASUALTY AGENTS THAT CAN CAUSE INFLAMMATION, BLISTERS, AND GENERAL DESTRUCTION OF TISSUES WHICH OFTEN RESULT IN TEMPORARY BLIDNESS OR DEATH.
BLOOD AGENTS?
GASEOUS CASUALTY AGENTS THAT ATTACK THE ENZYMES CARRYING OXYGEN IN THE BLOOD.
CHOKING AGENTS?
GASEOUS OR LIQUID CASUALTY AGENTS INTITAL SYMPTOMS THAT INCLUDE TEARS, DRY THROAT, NAUSEA, VOMITING AND HEADACHE
M9 CHEMICAL AGENT DETECTOR PAPER
DETECTS THE PRESENCE OF LIQUID CHEMICAL BY TURNING A RED OR REDISH COLOR. DOES NOT DETECT CHEMICAL AGEN VAPORS
ATROPINE/ 2-PAM-CHLORIDE AUTO INJECTOR.
USED AS SPECIFIC THERAPY FOR NERVE AGENT CASUALTIES, THEY ARE ISSUED FOR INTRAMUSCULAR, SELF AID OR FIRST AID
BIOLOGICAL WARFARE
BIOLOGICAL WARFARE IS THE USE OF AGENTS TO CAUSE DISEASE, SICKNESS OR REDUCE EFFECTIVNES OF OPPOSING COMBATANT FORCE.
PATHOGENS
COULD BE USED AS BIOLOGICAL AGENTS INCLUDING
BACTERIA, VIRUSES , FUNGI.
TOXINS
BASED ON ORGANISM THAT PRODUCE THEM AND THE PHYSIOLOGICAL AFFECTS
IPE FOR CHEMICAL/ BIOLOGICAL WARFARE
- 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
RADIOLOGICAL WARFARE
TO PRODUCE WIDESPREAD INJURY AND DEATH OF ALL LIFE.
HIGH ALTITUDE AIR BURST
OCCURS AT ALTITUDE IN EXCESS OF 100,000 FEET, WITH IONOSPHERE DISRUPTION AND EMP
AIR BURST
WHERE FIREBALL DOES NOT REACH THE SURFACE. THE VACUUM CREATED COLLECTS DEBRIS CAUSED BY THE SEVERE BLAST DAMAGE RESULTING IN RADIATION FALLOUT
SURFACE BURST
THE WORST FALLOUT DUE TO FIREBALL TOUCHING THE SURFACE RESULTS IN MASSIVE RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT
SHALLOW UNDERWATER BURST
HAS A SMALL FIRE BALL AND BLAST WAVE HOWEVER, IT CAUSES LARGE WAVES AND CONTAMINATION
DEEP UNDERWATER BURST
SIMILAR TO SHALLOW UNDERWATER BURST, WITH LESS VISUAL EFFECT AND YEILDS GREATER CONTAMINATION WATER
READY SHELTER STATION
INSIDE THE WEATHER ENVELOPE, WITH ACCESS TO DEEP SHELTER. PROVIDES MINMUM SHEILDING FROM NUCLEAR RADIATION AND ALLOW CREW TO STAY CLOSE TP BATTLE STATIONS
DEEP SHELTER STATIONS
ARE LOW IN THE SHIP AND NEAR THE CENTERLINE. PROVIDES MAX SHEILDING FROM NUCLEAR RADIATION REQUIRING PERSONNEL TO BE FAR REMOVED FROM BATTLE
DT-60 DOSIMETER
IS A NON SELF READING HIGH RANGE CASUALTY DOSIMETER, WHICH HAS TO BE PLACED I A SPECIAL RADIAC COMPUTER-INDICATOR TO DETERMINE TOTAL AMOUNT OF GAMMA RADIATION .
WHAT DOES MOPP STAND FOR?
MISSION ORIENTED PROTECTIVE POSTURE.
WHAT IS MOPP?
A MANAGEMENT TOOL THAT IS USED TO COORDINATE THE USE OF SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT IN CHEMICAL OR BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT.
