Note 1: The CO may authorize an extension of the SI to max 7min.
Note 2: A non-US Navy chamber may be used if authorized in writing by the first flag officer, it must include NAVSEA 00C hazard analysis.
Note 5: Utilizing a non-Navy chamber will require treatment to be completed IAW host facility.
RCC Level II
(Note 2,5)
A U.S. Navy certified recompression chamber accessible within 1 hour of the casualty.
Note 2: A Non-U.S Navy Chamber may be used if authorized in writing by the first flag officer.

RCC Level III
(Note 3,4,5)
A U.S. Navy certified recompression chamber accessible within six hours if the casualty.
