TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

bull By-Pass Locate the quickest and safest route around the contamination Locate and mark by-pass route Be prepared to encounter enemy forces

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

48

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

bull By-Pass Locate the quickest and safest route around the contamination Locate and mark by-pass route Be prepared to encounter enemy forces

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

MARKING - IDENTIFY TARGET COMMOSIGNALPROTECTING - INDIVIDUAL COMBAT VEHICLE DEFEAT ATGM TRACKING

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

Step 2 Cordon Establish a perimeter (300m small device 1000m up to van-size 2000m water truck or semi)

Step 3 Control Maintain visual (Binocularsscopes) observation to ensure no one tampers with the device maintain security

Step 4 Call EOD Immediately contact your supporting EOD to respond (9-line IEDUXO Spot Report)

Notes Drivers that canrsquot stop quickly enough lt100 meters

from device should speed up and move through the danger zone as quickly as possible

Drivers that can stop quick enough gt100 meters should immediately back away (300 meters)

Priority BasisImmediate - Stops unitrsquos maneuver and mission

capability or threatens critical assets vital to the mission

Indirect - Slows the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens critical assets important to the mission

Minor - Reduces the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens non-critical assets of value

No Threat - Has little or no effect on the unitsrsquo capabilities or assets

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

bull By-Pass Locate the quickest and safest route around the contamination Locate and mark by-pass route Be prepared to encounter enemy forces

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

MARKING - IDENTIFY TARGET COMMOSIGNALPROTECTING - INDIVIDUAL COMBAT VEHICLE DEFEAT ATGM TRACKING

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

MARKING - IDENTIFY TARGET COMMOSIGNALPROTECTING - INDIVIDUAL COMBAT VEHICLE DEFEAT ATGM TRACKING

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

Step 3 Control Maintain visual (Binocularsscopes) observation to ensure no one tampers with the device maintain security

Step 4 Call EOD Immediately contact your supporting EOD to respond (9-line IEDUXO Spot Report)

Notes Drivers that canrsquot stop quickly enough lt100 meters

from device should speed up and move through the danger zone as quickly as possible

Drivers that can stop quick enough gt100 meters should immediately back away (300 meters)

Priority BasisImmediate - Stops unitrsquos maneuver and mission

capability or threatens critical assets vital to the mission

Indirect - Slows the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens critical assets important to the mission

Minor - Reduces the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens non-critical assets of value

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

may be imminent secondary devices may be present

Step 2 Cordon Establish a perimeter (300m small device 1000m up to van-size 2000m water truck or semi)

Step 3 Control Maintain visual (Binocularsscopes) observation to ensure no one tampers with the device maintain security

Step 4 Call EOD Immediately contact your supporting EOD to respond (9-line IEDUXO Spot Report)

Notes Drivers that canrsquot stop quickly enough lt100 meters

from device should speed up and move through the danger zone as quickly as possible

Drivers that can stop quick enough gt100 meters should immediately back away (300 meters)

Priority BasisImmediate - Stops unitrsquos maneuver and mission

capability or threatens critical assets vital to the mission

Indirect - Slows the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens critical assets important to the mission

Minor - Reduces the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens non-critical assets of value

No Threat - Has little or no effect on the unitsrsquo capabilities or assets

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

may be imminent secondary devices may be present

Step 2 Cordon Establish a perimeter (300m small device 1000m up to van-size 2000m water truck or semi)

Step 3 Control Maintain visual (Binocularsscopes) observation to ensure no one tampers with the device maintain security

Step 4 Call EOD Immediately contact your supporting EOD to respond (9-line IEDUXO Spot Report)

Notes Drivers that canrsquot stop quickly enough lt100 meters

from device should speed up and move through the danger zone as quickly as possible

Drivers that can stop quick enough gt100 meters should immediately back away (300 meters)

Priority BasisImmediate - Stops unitrsquos maneuver and mission

capability or threatens critical assets vital to the mission

Indirect - Slows the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens critical assets important to the mission

Minor - Reduces the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens non-critical assets of value

No Threat - Has little or no effect on the unitsrsquo capabilities or assets

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

bull By-Pass Locate the quickest and safest route around the contamination Locate and mark by-pass route Be prepared to encounter enemy forces

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

IED UXO Battle DrillStep 1 Clear Leave the immediate area detonation

may be imminent secondary devices may be present

Step 2 Cordon Establish a perimeter (300m small device 1000m up to van-size 2000m water truck or semi)

Step 3 Control Maintain visual (Binocularsscopes) observation to ensure no one tampers with the device maintain security

Step 4 Call EOD Immediately contact your supporting EOD to respond (9-line IEDUXO Spot Report)

Notes Drivers that canrsquot stop quickly enough lt100 meters

from device should speed up and move through the danger zone as quickly as possible

Drivers that can stop quick enough gt100 meters should immediately back away (300 meters)

Priority BasisImmediate - Stops unitrsquos maneuver and mission

capability or threatens critical assets vital to the mission

Indirect - Slows the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens critical assets important to the mission

Minor - Reduces the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens non-critical assets of value

No Threat - Has little or no effect on the unitsrsquo capabilities or assets

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

may be imminent secondary devices may be present

Step 2 Cordon Establish a perimeter (300m small device 1000m up to van-size 2000m water truck or semi)

Step 3 Control Maintain visual (Binocularsscopes) observation to ensure no one tampers with the device maintain security

Step 4 Call EOD Immediately contact your supporting EOD to respond (9-line IEDUXO Spot Report)

Notes Drivers that canrsquot stop quickly enough lt100 meters

from device should speed up and move through the danger zone as quickly as possible

Drivers that can stop quick enough gt100 meters should immediately back away (300 meters)

Priority BasisImmediate - Stops unitrsquos maneuver and mission

capability or threatens critical assets vital to the mission

Indirect - Slows the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens critical assets important to the mission

Minor - Reduces the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens non-critical assets of value

No Threat - Has little or no effect on the unitsrsquo capabilities or assets

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

bull By-Pass Locate the quickest and safest route around the contamination Locate and mark by-pass route Be prepared to encounter enemy forces

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

MARKING - IDENTIFY TARGET COMMOSIGNALPROTECTING - INDIVIDUAL COMBAT VEHICLE DEFEAT ATGM TRACKING

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

Step 3 Control Maintain visual (Binocularsscopes) observation to ensure no one tampers with the device maintain security

Step 4 Call EOD Immediately contact your supporting EOD to respond (9-line IEDUXO Spot Report)

Notes Drivers that canrsquot stop quickly enough lt100 meters

from device should speed up and move through the danger zone as quickly as possible

Drivers that can stop quick enough gt100 meters should immediately back away (300 meters)

Priority BasisImmediate - Stops unitrsquos maneuver and mission

capability or threatens critical assets vital to the mission

Indirect - Slows the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens critical assets important to the mission

Minor - Reduces the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens non-critical assets of value

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

Step 2 Cordon Establish a perimeter (300m small device 1000m up to van-size 2000m water truck or semi)

Step 3 Control Maintain visual (Binocularsscopes) observation to ensure no one tampers with the device maintain security

Step 4 Call EOD Immediately contact your supporting EOD to respond (9-line IEDUXO Spot Report)

Notes Drivers that canrsquot stop quickly enough lt100 meters

from device should speed up and move through the danger zone as quickly as possible

Drivers that can stop quick enough gt100 meters should immediately back away (300 meters)

Priority BasisImmediate - Stops unitrsquos maneuver and mission

capability or threatens critical assets vital to the mission

Indirect - Slows the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens critical assets important to the mission

Minor - Reduces the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens non-critical assets of value

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

Step 2 Cordon Establish a perimeter (300m small device 1000m up to van-size 2000m water truck or semi)

Step 3 Control Maintain visual (Binocularsscopes) observation to ensure no one tampers with the device maintain security

Step 4 Call EOD Immediately contact your supporting EOD to respond (9-line IEDUXO Spot Report)

Notes Drivers that canrsquot stop quickly enough lt100 meters

from device should speed up and move through the danger zone as quickly as possible

Drivers that can stop quick enough gt100 meters should immediately back away (300 meters)

Priority BasisImmediate - Stops unitrsquos maneuver and mission

capability or threatens critical assets vital to the mission

Indirect - Slows the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens critical assets important to the mission

Minor - Reduces the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens non-critical assets of value

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

bull By-Pass Locate the quickest and safest route around the contamination Locate and mark by-pass route Be prepared to encounter enemy forces

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

MARKING - IDENTIFY TARGET COMMOSIGNALPROTECTING - INDIVIDUAL COMBAT VEHICLE DEFEAT ATGM TRACKING

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

bull By-Pass Locate the quickest and safest route around the contamination Locate and mark by-pass route Be prepared to encounter enemy forces

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

may be imminent secondary devices may be present

Step 2 Cordon Establish a perimeter (300m small device 1000m up to van-size 2000m water truck or semi)

Step 3 Control Maintain visual (Binocularsscopes) observation to ensure no one tampers with the device maintain security

Step 4 Call EOD Immediately contact your supporting EOD to respond (9-line IEDUXO Spot Report)

Notes Drivers that canrsquot stop quickly enough lt100 meters

from device should speed up and move through the danger zone as quickly as possible

Drivers that can stop quick enough gt100 meters should immediately back away (300 meters)

Priority BasisImmediate - Stops unitrsquos maneuver and mission

capability or threatens critical assets vital to the mission

Indirect - Slows the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens critical assets important to the mission

Minor - Reduces the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens non-critical assets of value

No Threat - Has little or no effect on the unitsrsquo capabilities or assets

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

bull Route Recon Recon the route and determine the extent of the contamination Locate and mark by-pass routes if contamination is encountered Report all CBRN hazards along the route

bull Zone Recon Recon all terrain within the zone for contamination Locate all previously reported CBRN areas Locate all possible contamination within the zone Check all water sources for contamination Locate commercial chemical facilities Mark contaminated areas Locate routes to bypass contaminationbull Area Recon Recon all terrain in the area Locate and mark all CBRN hazards within the area Locate by-pass routes around identified contaminated areas Point Recon Recon specific terrain feature or facility Locate and mark all CBRN hazards at the designated point

bull By-Pass Locate the quickest and safest route around the contamination Locate and mark by-pass route Be prepared to encounter enemy forces

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

MARKING - IDENTIFY TARGET COMMOSIGNALPROTECTING - INDIVIDUAL COMBAT VEHICLE DEFEAT ATGM TRACKING

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

bull By-Pass Locate the quickest and safest route around the contamination Locate and mark by-pass route Be prepared to encounter enemy forces

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

bull By-Pass Locate the quickest and safest route around the contamination Locate and mark by-pass route Be prepared to encounter enemy forces

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

bull By-Pass Locate the quickest and safest route around the contamination Locate and mark by-pass route Be prepared to encounter enemy forces

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

bull By-Pass Locate the quickest and safest route around the contamination Locate and mark by-pass route Be prepared to encounter enemy forces

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

bull By-Pass Locate the quickest and safest route around the contamination Locate and mark by-pass route Be prepared to encounter enemy forces

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

bull By-Pass Locate the quickest and safest route around the contamination Locate and mark by-pass route Be prepared to encounter enemy forces

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

bull By-Pass Locate the quickest and safest route around the contamination Locate and mark by-pass route Be prepared to encounter enemy forces

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

48

bull Focus Fox Recon Effort On The Templated Threat (P-Chem) That Has The Greatest Impact On The Friendly Course Of Action

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

bull By-Pass Locate the quickest and safest route around the contamination Locate and mark by-pass route Be prepared to encounter enemy forces

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

bull By-Pass Locate the quickest and safest route around the contamination Locate and mark by-pass route Be prepared to encounter enemy forces

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

TICTIM Safety Precautions

APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND Resist the urge to rush in others cannot behelped until the situation has been fully assessed

SECURE THE SCENE Without entering the immediate hazard area isolate the area andassure the safety of people and the environment keep people away from the scene and outsidethe safety perimeter Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS Placards container labels shipping documents material safetydata sheets Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts andor knowledgeable persons onthe scene are valuable information sources Evaluate all available information and consult therecommended guide to reduce immediate risks Additional information provided by theshipper or obtained from another authoritative source may change some of theemphasis or details found in the guide As more material-specific information becomes

available the response should be tailored to the situation

ASSESS THE SITUATION Consider the following- Is there a fire a spill or a leak- What are the weather conditions- What is the terrain like- Whowhat is at risk people property or the environment- What actions should be taken Is an evacuation necessary Is dikingnecessary What resources (human and equipment) are required andare readily available- What can be done immediately

39

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

OBTAIN HELP Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from qualified personnel

DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY Any efforts made to rescue persons protect property or the environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear

RESPOND Respond in an appropriate manner Establish a command post and lines of communication Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary Maintain control of the site Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly The first duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area including your own

ABOVE ALL mdash Do not walk into or touch spilled material Avoid inhalation of fumes smoke and vapors even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of a smellmdashodorless gases or vapors may be harmful

Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of all residues

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

bull Route Recon Recon the route and determine the extent of the contamination Locate and mark by-pass routes if contamination is encountered Report all CBRN hazards along the route

bull Zone Recon Recon all terrain within the zone for contamination Locate all previously reported CBRN areas Locate all possible contamination within the zone Check all water sources for contamination Locate commercial chemical facilities Mark contaminated areas Locate routes to bypass contaminationbull Area Recon Recon all terrain in the area Locate and mark all CBRN hazards within the area Locate by-pass routes around identified contaminated areas Point Recon Recon specific terrain feature or facility Locate and mark all CBRN hazards at the designated point

bull By-Pass Locate the quickest and safest route around the contamination Locate and mark by-pass route Be prepared to encounter enemy forces

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Step 4 Call EOD Immediately contact your supporting EOD to respond (9-line IEDUXO Spot Report)

Notes Drivers that canrsquot stop quickly enough lt100 meters

from device should speed up and move through the danger zone as quickly as possible

Drivers that can stop quick enough gt100 meters should immediately back away (300 meters)

Priority BasisImmediate - Stops unitrsquos maneuver and mission

capability or threatens critical assets vital to the mission

Indirect - Slows the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens critical assets important to the mission

Minor - Reduces the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens non-critical assets of value

No Threat - Has little or no effect on the unitsrsquo capabilities or assets

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

bull By-Pass Locate the quickest and safest route around the contamination Locate and mark by-pass route Be prepared to encounter enemy forces

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

MARKING - IDENTIFY TARGET COMMOSIGNALPROTECTING - INDIVIDUAL COMBAT VEHICLE DEFEAT ATGM TRACKING

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

bull Route Recon Recon the route and determine the extent of the contamination Locate and mark by-pass routes if contamination is encountered Report all CBRN hazards along the route

bull Zone Recon Recon all terrain within the zone for contamination Locate all previously reported CBRN areas Locate all possible contamination within the zone Check all water sources for contamination Locate commercial chemical facilities Mark contaminated areas Locate routes to bypass contaminationbull Area Recon Recon all terrain in the area Locate and mark all CBRN hazards within the area Locate by-pass routes around identified contaminated areas Point Recon Recon specific terrain feature or facility Locate and mark all CBRN hazards at the designated point

bull By-Pass Locate the quickest and safest route around the contamination Locate and mark by-pass route Be prepared to encounter enemy forces

47

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

Recon TechniquesRecon Techniques

Search - Find and identify the contamination (if it exists)

Survey - Determine the boundaries of contamination which has already been detected and identified

Sampling - Used to verify the contamination hazard Critical for first use situations suspected biological agents unknown chemicals or in support of technical intelligence

Surveillance - Observation of an area through visual means or using the M21 RSCAAL

Static - A pre-positioned element in an area which they can visually observe andor remotely scan the anticipated area of attack May allow crew and equipment to remain uncontaminated

Mobile - Moving through an area looking for attack indicators using only minimal detection equipment (eg ACADA M9 paper visual) Fox NBCRS can use on-board mass spectrometer with speeds up to 10-15 KMPH surveillance implies faster speeds (MM1 will NOT be used)

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

Recon Planning Considerations

50

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

51

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

Mark Area - Several options

1) Mark entire perimeter - very time consuming - 2) Just mark roads entering contamination 3) Donrsquot mark contamination at all

Report - The Fox normally provides just NBC4 reports do you want NBC1s

Bypass - Is it mission essential that the Foxes locate a bypass route

Sampling requirements - Normally done only for unknown (unidentified) chemical agents suspected biological agents or first-use scenarios

ReconActions on Contact

M21 RSCAAL - Stand-off vapor detector Two configurations Fox and tripod mounted Only detects H-series Mustard vapor (cold conditions = no vapor) and V-series nerve (nonresistant) Does not detect VX False alarms caused by pointing directly into sun halon (fire extinguishers) and very heavy rain Cannot be used lsquoon the moversquo

MM1 Mass Spectrometer - Liquid agent detection and identification Fox mounted only Does not detect vapor

M256A1 Kit - Requires about 20 minutes per test

ACADA (aka XM22GID-3) - M8A1 replacement detects G-series nerve amp H-series Blister Similar to CAM

M8M9 Paper - may give false positives from several battlefield chemicals including insect repellent

ANVDR-2 - Does not detect Alpha particles

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

Operational Decon ChecklistTask Procedure

Decon Assessment

If the TF has no decon assets request assistance from the next higher headquarters for needed support

CoordinationTF CM Section conducts coordination with contaminated unit on where decon link-up point is located The decon should be conducted between 1 and 6 hours after becoming contaminated

Consider the following when selecting a siteOff main route but easy accessLarge enough area to decon elementGood overhead concealment (when possible)Water source (when available)Good drainage

RendezvousEnsure TF decon crew knows where decon site and decon link-up points are located

Ensure the PDDE are positioned properly and ready to dispense hot soapy water

Ensure the Contaminated unit operates the MOPP Gear exchange at the same time as the vehicle washdown (provide NBC NCO to supervise if needed)

Ensure the drivers of the contaminated vehicles are briefed on the movement control plan of the vehicle washdown line

Ensure the contaminated unit has security of the siteProcessing Decon NCOIC ensures rate flow of vehicles

Decon NCOIC ensures the MOPP gear exchange area is cleaned up

Decon NCOIC ensures the vehcile washdown lane is clean up

Marking and Reporting

Decon NCOIC has the team properly mark the decon site and send NBC 5 Report up

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

MARKING - IDENTIFY TARGET COMMOSIGNALPROTECTING - INDIVIDUAL COMBAT VEHICLE DEFEAT ATGM TRACKING

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

may be imminent secondary devices may be present

Step 2 Cordon Establish a perimeter (300m small device 1000m up to van-size 2000m water truck or semi)

Step 3 Control Maintain visual (Binocularsscopes) observation to ensure no one tampers with the device maintain security

Step 4 Call EOD Immediately contact your supporting EOD to respond (9-line IEDUXO Spot Report)

Notes Drivers that canrsquot stop quickly enough lt100 meters

from device should speed up and move through the danger zone as quickly as possible

Drivers that can stop quick enough gt100 meters should immediately back away (300 meters)

Priority BasisImmediate - Stops unitrsquos maneuver and mission

capability or threatens critical assets vital to the mission

Indirect - Slows the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens critical assets important to the mission

Minor - Reduces the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens non-critical assets of value

No Threat - Has little or no effect on the unitsrsquo capabilities or assets

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

OBSCURING - ON ENEMY BLIND GUNNERS AND OBSERVERS USE OBSCURING SMOKE TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT ENEMY TARGET AQUISITION AND GUIDANCESYSTEMS AT THEIR SOURCE

SCREENING - USE SCREENING SMOKE TO ATTACK ENEMY TARGET ACQUISITION AND GUIDANCE SYSTEMS BY PLACING SMOKE BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY UNIT AND THE SENSORS DEGRADES ENEMY GROUND AND AERIALOBSERVATION THREE VISIBILITY CATEGORIES FOR SCREENING SMOKE

SMOKE CURTAIN - Vertical development of smoke between enemy forces and friendly units it will not hamper friendly operations but does not prevent aerial observation

SMOKE BLANKET - Dense smoke used over friendly areas to conceal from enemyground and aerial observation - may degrade mobility - concentration of smoke that would allow ID of veh from 0 to 50 meters

SMOKE HAZE - Light concentration of smoke placed on friendly units to restrictenemy observation and fire but not dense enough to disrupt

friendly operations - ID of veh from 50 to 150 meters away

MARKING - IDENTIFY TARGET COMMOSIGNALPROTECTING - INDIVIDUAL COMBAT VEHICLE DEFEAT ATGM TRACKING

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

may be imminent secondary devices may be present

Step 2 Cordon Establish a perimeter (300m small device 1000m up to van-size 2000m water truck or semi)

Step 3 Control Maintain visual (Binocularsscopes) observation to ensure no one tampers with the device maintain security

Step 4 Call EOD Immediately contact your supporting EOD to respond (9-line IEDUXO Spot Report)

Notes Drivers that canrsquot stop quickly enough lt100 meters

from device should speed up and move through the danger zone as quickly as possible

Drivers that can stop quick enough gt100 meters should immediately back away (300 meters)

Priority BasisImmediate - Stops unitrsquos maneuver and mission

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

Unmasking Procedures

Without detection equipment1 In a shady area have one or two soldiers take a deep breath hold it and breaktheir mask seals for 15 seconds with their eyes open2 Have them clear and reseal masks Observe them for 10 minutes for symptoms3 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers break their mask seals take twoor three breaths clear and reseal their masks Observe them for 10 minutes forsymptoms4 If no symptoms appear have the same soldiers unmask for 5 minutes and thenremask If no symptoms appear in 10 minutes it is safe to give the all clear signaland unmask5 Continue to observe the soldiers in ease delayed symptoms develop

With M256 or M256A1 Detector Kit1 Test with the detector kit2 If the test is negative have one or two soldiers move to a shady area if possibleand unmask for 5 minutes Have the soldiers remask Observe them for 10 minutesfor symptoms3 If no symptoms appear it is safe to give the all clear signal and unmask Thesenior leader present may ask higher headquarters for permission4 Continue to watch soldiers for possible delayed symptoms

may be imminent secondary devices may be present

Step 2 Cordon Establish a perimeter (300m small device 1000m up to van-size 2000m water truck or semi)

Step 3 Control Maintain visual (Binocularsscopes) observation to ensure no one tampers with the device maintain security

Step 4 Call EOD Immediately contact your supporting EOD to respond (9-line IEDUXO Spot Report)

Notes Drivers that canrsquot stop quickly enough lt100 meters

from device should speed up and move through the danger zone as quickly as possible

Drivers that can stop quick enough gt100 meters should immediately back away (300 meters)

Priority BasisImmediate - Stops unitrsquos maneuver and mission

capability or threatens critical assets vital to the mission

Indirect - Slows the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens critical assets important to the mission

Minor - Reduces the unitrsquos maneuver and mission capability or threatens non-critical assets of value

No Threat - Has little or no effect on the unitsrsquo capabilities or assets

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

exhaustion Sweating may stop (red flushed hot dry skin)First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosenremove clothing Start cooling the soldier

IMMEDIATELY Pour water on the soldier or immerse in water and fan to cool Massage extremities and skin with cool water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs If conscious have the soldier slowly drink one canteen of water EVACUATE IMMEADIATELY

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked

WHEN THE MEDIA CALLSbullKnow your rights Its your choice whether or not to

speak to reporters If you choose to speak you may stop at any time

bullKnow the role of the media they do a job vital for democracy It is NOT harassment if they call your home or stop you at the supermarket asking for an interview It IS harassment if they infringe on your privacy or persist after being told noldquo

bullKnow with whom you are talking Before answering questions get the reporters name organization and phone number Do this especially if you are going to decline the request It will discourage the reporter from persisting

bullKnow who will hear you Family members may have information that would be useful to an enemy Thanks to technology the enemy can have access to what you say as soon as you say it On the other hand if you are enthusiastic about your spouses mission your response can build morale and help show American resolve

bullKnow your limits Talk only about what you know first-hand Its OK to answer with I dont know It is never a good idea to speculate

bullKnow what to keep to yourself If your spouse calls or writes with news about casualties where the unit is or when it might redeploy keep such information to yourself Dont even share it with other family members Deployments spawn rumors and some of what you hear could be wrong sensitive or subject to change

Every service-member like it or not is a command representative Soldiers will come in contact with the public and media more than the official command channels will so what they say is important in getting your command message across

BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION1Consider water a tactical weapon Drink frequently2Eat Meals Add salt to taste3Be aware that dark yellow colored infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration Increase water intake even

if you do not feel thirsty4Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening if possible5Minimize heat stress by decreasing work pace andor increasing rest periods Modify clothing if appropriate6Be aware that full heat acclimatization takes 1-2 weeks7Consider that soldiers undergoing treatment for acute or chronic medical conditions may be a greater risk for

heat injuryHeat CrampsSymptoms- Muscle cramps of arms legs andor stomach Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst

may occurFirst Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Have soldier drink at least 1 canteen of water

mixed with a packet of salt (14 tsp) or sports drink Watch the soldier Continue to give water if the soldier accepts it Get medical help if cramps continue

Heat ExhaustionSymptoms - Heavy sweating with pale moist cool or hot skin weakness dizziness andor fatigue Heat

cramp nausea (w or wo vomitingdiarrhea) tunnel vision chills (gooseflesh) rapid breathing confusion and tingling of the hands andor feet may occur

First Aid - Move soldier to a shady area and loosen clothing Pour water on the soldier and fan to permit cooling effect Have the soldier slowly drink at least one full canteen of water Elevate the soldierrsquos legs GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS CONTINUE (Ie VOMITING) Watch the soldier until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives

Heat StrokeSymptoms - Hot Disoriented delirious or unconscious May have any of the symptoms of heat

FRIENDLY TTP FOR HOSTILE CROWDS

1048766 Reinforce friendly unit to show strength position non-lethal munitions and snipers positioned on roofs to provide overwatch

1048766 Use Combat Camera to gather video and photos of the demonstration May be useful later for trial of suspects

1048766 Meet with the crowd enroute to their destination1048766 Snatch amp Grab Teams identified and positioned to

secure demonstration agitators1048766 Position local police around the exterior perimeter1048766 Use Tactical PSYOP Teams (TPT) loudspeakers

to disrupt demonstration C2 and communicate with the crowd

1048766 Identify the demonstration ringleaders separate them from the crowd

1048766 Discuss the issues with the leaders away from the crowd direct leaders to move the crowd away from the barriers as a pre-condition for discussions

Never show the crowd that you are afraid or intimidated by them By staying on a constant vigilance and conducting 360 degree security you set the tone for the crowd

A soldier that is ready for action is less likely to be surprised or attacked
