-define the following
-chemical warfare -biological warfare -radiological effects -routes by witch agents enter the body |
-chemical warfare: three main types. casualty (nerve, blood, blister, choking) incapacitating (depressant and stimulants) harrasing (tear and vommiting)
-bilogical warfare: the intentional release of living organism or substances produced by living organisms to cause disease or death to man. -radiological warfare: the employment of nuclear weapons to destroy property or people. -routes by witch agents enter the body: skin, food, water, eyes, linings of mouth and nose. |
|
|
-describe the purpose of the following.
-MCU/2P -chemical protective overgarment -wet weather clothing -atropine/2 pam chloride auto injector -pocket dosimeter |
-MCU-2/P: protective mask that protects eyes, nose, throat, and lungs.
-chemical protective overgarment: provides protection against persistant (liquid) nerve, blister, and bilogical agents. -wet weather clothing: provides protection against alpha/beta radiological contamination. -atropine/pralidoxime chloride: used to counter the affects of nerve agents only. -pocket dosimeter: size and shape of a fountain pen. measures exposure to radiation over a period of time. |
|
|
-explain the six types of chemical agents and their symptoms.
|
-nerve: (GB) runny nose, tightness of chest, constricted pupils, nausea, cramps, headache, coma, convulsions.
-blister: (HD) watery inflammed eyes, skin turns red after several hours, blisters are visible, throbbing pain. -blood: (CK) convulsions, irritated nose -choking: (CG) accumulation of fluid in the lungs. -vomitting: causes violent sneezing, coughing, nausea, a general feeling of body discomfort. -tear: intense pain and considerable flow of tears. |
|
|
-describle the following types of nuclear explosions.
-airburst -surface burst -underwater burst |
-airburst: fireball, does not touch earth, all materials in fireball are vaporized.
-surfaceburst: fireball touches earth, surface material vaporized and lifted into air. produces large amount of fallout. range of blast less than airburst. -underwater burst: practically all thermal radiation is absorbed. |
|
|
-describe the affects of a nuclear explosion.
|
-alpha particles: heaviest particles and will not penetrate skin. absorbed through ingestion.
-beta: enter through the skin or ingestion. carried in contaminated dust. -gamma rays: pure energy that can penetrate the body. -neutrons: have the greatest penetrating power. |
|
|
-define the mission oriented protective posture and discuss the levels.
|
-MOPP 1: smock and trousers worn
-MOPP 2: smock, trousers, and boots worn -MOPP 3: smock, trousers, boots, and mask worn -MOPP 4: smock, trousers, boots, mask, and gloves worn. |
|
|
-identify the correct procedures for inspecting, maintaining and donning the chemical protective ensemble.
|
-trousers, smock, boots, then gloves.
-check expiration date on cannister -check for tears on suit. |
|
|
-describe the colors and markings on the NATO CBR signs.
|
-chemical: yellow triangle with "gas" written in 2" red letters
-bilogical: blue triangle with the letters "bio" in 2" red letters. -radiological: white triangle with the words "atom" in 2" red letters. will also include date, time of detection, and agent name. |
|
|
-describe the color that the M9 chemical agent tape displays after it comes in contact with a liguid nerve or blister agent.
|
-Detects liquid nerve or blister agents.
-any shade of red on the tape means it has come in contact with a nerve or blister agent. |
|
|
-describe the colors that the M8 paper turns after it comes in contact with liquid nerve or blister agents.
|
-V type agents (nerve) turn paper green.
-G type agents (nerve) turn the paper yellow. -blister agents turn it red. |
|
|
-explain the following as the apply to nerve agents.
-symptoms -contents of a nerve agent antidote kit (naak) -treatment |
-auto-injectors: 1 atropine, 1 2pam chloride
-symptoms: contracted pupils, runny, nose, headache, drooling, tight chest, localized swelling, muscle twitching, stomach cramps and nausea. -treatment: self inject 1st shot (atropine) follow immidiatley with 2pam chloride. wait ten to fifteen minutes before administering second series. bend needles and hook them to the smock. |
|
|
-describe the steps and procedures for utilizing the M-295 and M-291 decon kits.
|
-M 291: skin decon kit, wllet sized pouch, used by patting onto skin.
-M 295: is a large version of the M 291. used for equipment decon. |
|
|
-state how the joint service light weight integrated suit technology (jlist) suit will provide protection from chemical agents once it is removed from the packaging under the following conditions.
|
-wash/wear life: uncontaminated environment 6 launderings/45 days of wear 120 days after removal from package.
-once contaminated it has a 24 hr life. |
|
|
-discuss laundering prcedures for the jlist suit.
|
-do not starch, press, dryclean or steam press any items
|
|
|
-discuss the following types of decon.
-immidiate -operational -thorough |
-immidiate: skin decon, to include weapons, operator spray down.
-operational: allows a force to fight longer and sustain its mission while contaminated, includes removal of gross contaminants, mopp gear exchange. -thorough: detailed troop and equipment decon, reduce contaminants to a negligeable risk. |
|
|
-discuss the procedures for setting up a personnel decon line.
|
-DTD: 6 stations
-individual gear decon -overboot and hood decon -overgarment removal -overboot and glove removal -monitor -mask decon point -re-issue point 10'-16' between stations. |
|
|
-discuss the duties of the following CBR teams
-personnel decon -equipment decon -survey/monitor team |
-personnel decon: set up and operate the DTD
-Vehicle decon: set up and operate -survey/monitor team: monitor, find, identify contamination |
|
|
-state the purpose and the optimum location of the M22 alarm.
|
-M22 alarm consists of an m88 detector unit and an 42 alarm unit
location- M88 places upwind from camp, M42 placed down wind inside camp. -max of 5 M42 alarms can be attatched to and M88 -max distance from M42 to M88 is 400 M -M88 is placed 150M forward of the flot and 300 M between power sources. |
|
|
-explain the 3 types of CBR surveys and their uses.
