Q

Radiation Exposure Devices (REDs)

A

Any radioactive material in a sealed/unsealed container intended to expose people in the vicinity
-involve sources ranging from insignificant to large sources producing high-level dose

17
Q

Improvised Nuclear Devices (INDs)

A
  • Designed to produce a nuclear detonation at full or partial yield
  • physically the same as a nuclear weapon: blast, burns, and radiation
  • exposes people to trauma, high-level dose, inhalation and ingestion hazards, and contamination
18
Q

Parts of a nuclear air burst

A
  1. Blast (50%)
  2. Thermal energy (35%)
  3. Residual radiation (10%)
  4. Initial radiation (4%)
  5. Electromagnetic Pulse (1%)
19
Q

Patient Movement Considerations when patient is contaminated

A
  • what is theater evac policy
  • what are your ground/air assets
  • has patient been decontaminated
  • how will you decon your medical equipment
  • are providers properly trained
  • are CBRN tx and decon sets available
20
Q

operational decon planning considerations

A
  • decon as far forward as situation allows
  • have a separate way in and way out
  • locate decon site near natural water (if available) to reduce logistical burden and minimize time in MOPP
  • be downwind of friendly troops
  • finish the fight, then decon when available
21
Q

Steps for preparing for nuclear attack at the company level

A
  1. Company OPS receives intelligence reports from HHQ regarding nuclear/radiological hazard
  2. CO issues WARNORD
  3. CO sets MOPP levels, establishes automatic masking criteria, issues plans to issue PPE
  4. 1SG directs defensive preparations for a nuclear attack
  5. OPS enforces OPSEC, dispersion, cover, and concealment measures to avoid being targeted
  6. OPS directs checking of radiological detectors/alarms and conducting nuclear/radiological survey missions
  7. OPS receives and distributes effective downwind message (EDM) or effective downwind forecast (EDF) from HHQ
  8. OPS receives and plots potential decon sites on the SITMAP from HHQ
22
Q

defensive preparations for a nuclear attack

A
  • disconnect nonessential electronic equipment
  • prepare shelter for protection from blast, heat, radiation
  • protect food, water, munitions, etc. from blast, heat, radiation
  • zero dosimeters
  • tie down essential antennas
23
Q

Preparing for a FRIENDLY Nuclear Strike at the Company Level

A
  1. Element plots the STRIKWARN message on the situation map
  2. CO determines what actions to take
  3. Element notifies subordinate elements that may be affected by the strike
  4. Element disseminates dazzle warnings to the flying units or squadrons in the region
  5. Element directs implementation of protective measures established in the SOP or by higher prior to detonation (ie. shield vehicles/equipment, disconnect nonessential electronic equipment, tie down essential antennas, improve shelters)
  6. Element notifies units of cancelled Friendly Nuclear Strikes
  7. Element notifies HHQ when all subordinate units have been notified
24
Q

How to react to a Nuclear Attack at Company Level (steps 1-10)

A
  1. Conduct initial personnel protection measures for a nuclear weapon attack: close eyes, drop to ground, crawl to the closest available protection, seek shelter
  2. Maintain or restore Mission Command
  3. Perform primary mission
  4. Make initial CBRN NUC 1 report of the incident
  5. Seek the best available protection (building, bunker, fighting position)
  6. Check personnel for injury, check weapons and equipment for damage, prepare to continue mission
  7. Monitor and report attack indicators to CBRN control center: detector response, casualty data, environmental data
  8. Conduct damage assessment and the restoration of combat power
  9. Prepare fallout hazard predictions
  10. Prepare to send HHQ information: start/end time of fallout, optimum time to exit fallout areas, total dose calculations, etc.
25
Q

How to react to a nuclear attack at the Company Level (Steps 11-20)

A
  1. Ensure personnel keep exposed skin covered from fallout, keep from ingesting/inhaling radioactive particles
  2. Ensure total accumulated dose is kept under 125 centigray per person
  3. Monitor the area for radioactive fallout and forward information to CBRN control center
  4. Continually monitor for gamma radiation when fallout is expected
  5. Verify or calculate the Correlation Factor (CF) for shelters (divide the outside dose rate by inside dose rate on RADIAC equipment)
  6. Alert or activate decon teams, and proceed w/ decon
  7. Determine radiation decay rate based on the amount of time since the radiation peak and the dose rate reading
  8. Monitor and document individual radiological exposure at times specified by SOP
  9. Monitor and document collective radiation exposure
  10. Coordinate with logistic support to resupply, restock, or redistribute supplies
26
Q

How to prepare for nuclear attack at a battalion level

A
  1. Conduct continuous Joint Intelligence Preparation of the Operational Environment (JIPOE) to understand threat
  2. Issue WARNORDs for possible or probable nuclear/radiological hazards
  3. Set MOPP levels, automatic masking criteria, issue plans to issue protective/detection equipment
  4. Direct defensive preparations for a nuclear attack
  5. establish/enforce OPSEC, dispersion, cover, and concealment measures to avoid being targeted
  6. Direct checking of radiological detectors and alarms
  7. Direct that survey teams are ready to conduct nuclear/radiological survey missions
  8. Prepare and distribute effective downwind message (EDM) or effective downwind forecast (EDF)
  9. Identify and ploy potential operational and thorough decon sites on the SITMAP
27
Q

How to react to a Nuclear Attack at the Battalion Level

A
  1. Conduct initial personnel protection measures for a nuclear weapon attack (close eyes, drop to ground, seek shelter, don IPE)
  2. Seek the best available protection (building, bunker, fighting position)
  3. Check personnel for injury, check weapons
