What is the intended use of Chemical Warfare?
|
To employ chemical agents in military operations to kill, seriously injure, or incapacitate personnel due to their physiological effect.
|
|
|
What are the 4 types of chemical agents?
|
- Nerve Agents
- Blister Agents - Blood Agents - Choking agents |
|
|
What kind of chemical agent is a liquid casualty agents that disrupt nerve impulses to the body while damaging body gunctions rather than tissue. (E.g. Sarin (GB), Tabun (GA), SOMAN( GD), and VX.
|
Nerve Agents
|
|
|
What kind of chemical agent is a liquid or solid casualty agents that can cause inflammation, blisters, and general destruction of tissues which often results in temporary blindness and/or death. (E.g. are distilled mustard (HD), Lewisite (L), Phosgene Oxime (CX), and Levinsteain Mustard (HL).
|
Blister Agents
|
|
|
What kind of chemical agents are gaseous casualty agents that attack the enzymes carrying oxygen in the blood stream? (E.g. Hydrogen Cyanide (AC), Cyanogen Chloride (CK), and Arsine (SA)
|
Blood Agents
|
|
|
What kind of chemical agents are gaseous or liquid casualty agents with initial symptoms that include; tears, dry throat, nausea, vomiting, and headache. The lungs can become filled with fluid, making the victim feel as if they are drowning, causing breathing to become rapid and shallow. (E.g. Phogene (CG) and Diphosgene).
|
Choking Agents
|
|
|
What is used to detect the presence of liquid chemical agents by turning a red or reddish color, it does not detect chemical agent vapor?
|
M9 Chemical Agent Detector Paper
|
|
|
What is used as specific therapy for nerve agent casualties? They are issued for intramuscular injection, self-aid or first aid.
|
Atropine/2-PAM-chloride Auto Injector
|
|
|
What are the objectives of Biological Warfare?
|
Th use of agents to cause disease, sickness, or death to reduce effectiveness of opposing combatant forces.
|
|
|
What are the 2 basic divisions of Biological Agents?
|
- Pathogens
- Toxins |
|
|
Which biological agents includes bacteria, rickettsia, viruses, fungi, protozoa and prions?
|
Pathogens
|
|
|
Which biological agent is based on organism (source) that produce them and the physiological affects the toxins cause in humans?
|
Toxins
|
|
|
What are the major groupings by toxin source?
|
- myotoxins (which are from fungi)
- bacterial toxins - algal toxins - animal venoms - plant toxins |
|
|
What are the primary groups based on toxin physiological effects?
|
- neurotoxins
- cytotoxins - entertoxins - dermatoxins |
|
|
What is the primary way to limit the chemical and biological warfare impact?
|
Training and awareness of personnel
|
|
|
What are the IPE for chemical/biological agent environments consists of?
|
- 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 |
|
|
What is provided to complements the individual protection capability?
|
Medical self-treatment supplies
|
|
|
What is the purpose of Radiological Warfare?
|
The deliberate use of radiological weapons to produce widespread injury and death of all life.
|
|
|
What are the 5 types of nuclear explosions?
|
- High altitude air burst
- Air burst - Surface burst - Shallow underwater burst - Deep Underwater burst |
|
|
Which type of nuclear explosion occurs at altitudes in excess of 100,000 feet, with ionosphere disruptions and EMP?
|
High altitude air burst
|
|
|
Which type of nuclear explosion is where the fireball does not reach the surface? The vacuum created collects debris caused by the severe blast damage resulting in radiation fallout.
|
Air burst
|
|
|
Which type of nuclear explosion has the worst fallout due to the fireball touching the surface which results in massive radioactive fallout?
|
Surface Burst
|
|
|
Which type of nuclear explosion has a small fireball and blast wave? However, it causes large waves and water contamination.
|
Shallow underwater burst
|
|
|
Which type of nuclear explosion is similar to the shallow underwater burst but with less visual effect and yields greater contaminated water?
|
Deep underwater
|
|
|
What are the 2 categorization for Shipboard Shielding Stations?
|
- Ready
- Deep-shelter |
|
|
Which category of Shipboard Shielding Stations are just inside the weather envelope, with access to deep shelter? They provide minimum shielding from nuclear radiation and allow the crew to remain close to battle stations.
|
Ready-shelter Stations
|
|
|
Which category of Shipboard Shielding Stations are low in the ship and near the centerline? They provide maximum shielding from nuclear radiation, often requiring personnel to be far removed from battle stations.
|
Deep-shelter Stations
|
|
|
What is placed in a special radiac computer-indicator to determine the total amount of gamma radiation to which the wearer is exposed in the 0-600 roentgens?
|
DT-60 dosimeter
|
|
|
How many MOPP Levels are there?
|
- MOPP 0 to 4
|
|
