During and after what four events must all AF members be able to use Full Spectrum Threat Response (FSTR) and/or first aid?
|
1) Major accidents 2) terrorist use of WMD 3) natural disasters 4) attacks with NBCC weapons.
|
|
The FSTR program requires cross-functional interaction. what eigbht aspects does it integrate?
|
1) procedures and standards for planning 2) logistical requirements 3) emergency response actions 4) exercises and evaluation 5) personnel training 6) detection, identification and warning 7) notification 8) enemy attack actions.
|
|
conventional attack threats only exist where threats of nuclear, bilogical and chemical (NBC) attack exist. T/F
|
False (they may be present where NBC threats do not exist.)
|
|
The first few moments of a conventional attack often determine your survival. What is the most effective individual protective equipment (IPE) for a conventional attack?
|
The helmet and personal body armor.
|
|
What incidents are categorized as major accidents.
|
Incidents involving hazardous material (HAZMAT), aircraft, ammunition, explosives, transportation, facility emergencies and industrial accidents.
|
|
nuclear threats within any theater of war only involve the exchange of strategic nuclear weapons. T/F
|
False. (they can exist without it.)
|
|
What are 4 possible results of chemical warfare?
|
It 1) achieves surprise 2) causes mass casualities that hinder the momenttum of operations 3) disrupts command, control and communications 4) degrades war-fighting potential.
|
|
The wide availability of _____ gives them great potential as tools for asmmetric attacks against air bases.
|
TIM (toxic industrial materials)
|
|
______ warfare counters an adversary's strengths by focusing on its actual or perceived weaknesses.
|
Asymmetric.
|
|
What kind o forces are required to defend against NBC attack and sustain operations in an NBC enviornment?
|
Knowledgeable and properly trained and equipped forces througout the theater of operations.
|
|
What are the three major NBC passive defense program elements?
|
1) Contamination avoidance 2) protection 3) contamination control
|
|
What is the prupose of contamination avoidance in an NBC environment?
|
Minimizing the impact of NBC contamination and hazards on operations.
|
|
When NBCC contamination cannot be avoided, _____ provides forces with survival measures necessary for operation.
|
Protection
|
|
How is protection provided in an NBCC environment?
|
through individual protection, collective protection and hardening.
|
|
What measures comprise individual protection in an NBCC environment?
|
Use of IPE, vaccinations and prophylaxis, protective shelters, evacuation, relocation, exposure control, contamination control, and warning and notification systems (and/or a combination).
|
|
What determines which protection measures are taken in an NBCC environment?
|
The ungency and nature of the threat.
|
|
What directs the proper individual protective postures in an NBCC environment?
|
Command and theater-specific instructions.
|
|
What is the best immediate protective equipment against chemical agents - regardless of the type of the agent, concentration or method of attack?
|
The ground crew ensemble (GCE)
|
|
What are the components of the GCE?
|
A protective mask with filters, overgarment, protective gloves and footwear covers or overboots. it also includes M8 and M9 detector paper and M291 and M295 decontamination kits.
|
|
What is the prupose of collective protection and conventional hardening measures in an NBCC environment?
|
To further enhance survival, limit attack damage and contamination, and support mission sustainment.
|
|
How are hardening measures selected in an NBCC environment?
|
Based upon the expected threat, unit mission and resources needing protection.
|
|
What combines standard disease prevention, traditional NBC contamination avoidance and decontamination measures?
|
Contamination control.
|
|
Decontamination will reduce or eliminate most common air base contamination hazards, but will not reduce the need for personnel decontamination. T/F
|
False. (Personnel decontamination requirements will be significantly reduced.)
|
|
What are the three phases of attack?
|
1) Pre-attack 2) trans-attack 3) post-attack.
|
|
What is the focus of each of the three phases of attack?
|
Pre-attack actions prepare the base for attack. Trans-attack actions focus on individual and weapons system survival. Post-attack actions save lives, detect and mitigate hazards, and restore and sustain the mission.
|
|
What center is the installation's primary command and control nerve during an attack?
|
The wing operations center. (it works in conjuction with the survival recovery center (SRC) and unit control centers (UCCs).)
|
|
What does the WOC do during an attack?
|
It implements operational plans and priorties, controls and monitors mission-generation capabilities, and ensures installation surivivability.
|
|
What must personnel know to take protective actions in response to the base warning signals in all the phases of attack?
|
The alarm colors codes, audible signals and/or supplemental information.
|
|
At what levels, and during what attack force protection conditions (FPCONs), are contamination avoidance measures employed?
|
At all levels and during all FPCONs.
|
|
Commanders implement ________ - ________ mission-oriented protective postures (MOPPs).
|
Threat_specific.
|
|
Why are air base sectors and zones determined for passive defense?
|
For rapid reconnaissance.
|
|
When do trans-attack actions occur?
|
Immediately before and during an enemy attack.
|
|
Why do commanders declare alarm conditions during attacks?
|
To initiate passive defense actions.
|
|
Alerm condition green exists if you hear "alarm green" or see a green flag. what does it indicate?
|
Attack is not probable.
|
|
Alarm condition yellow exists if you hear "alarm yellow" or see a yellow flag. What does it indicate?
|
Attack is probable in fewer than 30 minutes.
|
|
Alarm condition red exists if you hear "alarm red", hear a wavering tone on the siren or see a red flag. what does it indicate?
|
Attack by air or missle is imminent or in progress.
|
|
Alarm condition red exixts if you hear "ground attack", hear the call-to-arms on the bugle or see a red flag. What does it indicate?
|
Attack by ground forces is imminent or in progress.
|
|
Alarm condition black exixts if you hear "alarm black", hear a steady tone on the siren or see a black flag. What does it indiciate?
|
Attack is over and NBC contamination and/or UXO hazards are suspected or present.
|
|
What is the difference between alarm conditions and MOPP levels?
|
Alarm conditions initiate or limit individual and air base-wide movement and action. MOPP levels let individuals know what to wear for minimum protection.
