Detects the presence of liquid chemical agents by turning a red or reddish color, does not detect vapors.

Front 12

What are Blister Agents?

Back 12

Front 18

What is a High Altitude Burst?

Back 18

Occurs at altitudes in excess of 100K feet, with ionosphere disruptions and EMP.

Front 19

What is an Air Burst?

Back 19

Where fireball does not reach the surface. Radiation fallout.

Front 20

What is a Surface Burst?

Back 20

The worst fallout due to the fireball touching the surface which results in massive radioactive fallout.

Front 21

What is Shallow Underwater Burst?

Back 21

A small fireball and blast wave however, it causes large waves and water contamination.

Front 22

What is Deep Underwater Burst?

Back 22

A small fireball and blast wave however, with light waves and yields greater contaminated water.

Front 23

What are Blood Agents?

Back 23

Gaseous casualty agents that attack the enzymes carrying oxygen in the blood stream.

Front 24

What are the two types of Shipboard Shielding Stations?

Back 24

• Ready-shelter

• Deep-shelter

Front 25

What are Ready-shelter Stations?

Back 25

Provide minimum shielding from nuclear radiation and allow the crew to remain close to battle stations.

Front 26

What are Deep-shelter stations?

Back 26

Provides maximum shielding from nuclear radiation, often requiring personnel to be far removed from battle stations.

Front 27

What is a DT-60 dosimeter?

Back 27

Determines the total amount of gamma radiation to which the wearer is exposed in the 0-600 roentgens.

Front 28

What are Choking Agents?

Back 28

Gaseous or liquid casualty agents with initial symptoms that include; tears, dry throat, nausea, vomiting, and headache.

Front 29

What is M9 Chemical Agent Detector Paper?

Back 29

Detects the presence of liquid chemical agents by turning a red or reddish color, does not detect vapors.

Front 30

What is a Atropine/2-PAM-chloride Auto Injector?

Back 30

Used as a specific therapy for nerve agent casualties, they are issued for intramuscular injection, self-aid or first aid.

Front 31

What is Biological Warfare?

Back 31

The use of agents to cause disease, sickness, or death to reduce the effectiveness of opposing combatant forces.

Front 32

What are the two different types of Biological Agents?

Back 32

Pathogens and Toxins.

Front 33

What are Pathogens that can be used as biological agents?

Back 33

Bacteria, rickettsia, viruses, fungi, protozoa, and prions.

Front 34

What are the categorization of toxins based on?

Back 34

The organisms (source) that produce them and the physiological affects the toxins cause in humans.

Front 35

What are the major groupings of toxins by source (organisms)?

Back 35

Mycotoxins (fungi), bacterial toxins, algal toxins, animal venoms, and plant toxins.
