111.1 Describe the purpose and use of the following CBR
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
Protective Gear:
|/ |/ |/
[Ref . a] - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔a. SLIST Chemical Protective
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
Ensemble: [Pg. VI-1]
|/ |/ |/
The Service Lightweight Integrated Suit Technology (SLIST)
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
provides protection against liquid, solid, and/or vapor CB agents
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
and radioactive alpha and beta particles. It is a lightweight
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
garment and it can be laundered up to six times for personal
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
hygiene. The SLIST ensemble will be worn in all environments
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
when under threat of an imminent NBC attack and after chemical
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
operations have been initiated. It is used with the Chemical
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
Protective Mask for fully protect the body. It has a 120 day
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
service life (out of bag) and a 45 day wear time. Once
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
contaminated the SLIST can be worn for 24 hours. It cannot be
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
decontaminated.

b. Nerve Agent Antidote Kit(Naak): - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔[Pg.
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
A-12]
|/
Nerve agent poisoning requires immediate first aid treatment.
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
Personnel receive three NAAKs, Mark I, for this purpose.
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
Personnel may become subject to nerve agent poisoning on the
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
battlefield. Immediate treatment with the NAAK is required if
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
they are to survive. The NAAK consists of one small autoinjector
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
containing atropine and a second autoinjector containing
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
pralidoxime chloride. A plastic clip holds the two injectors
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
,|/ together. Store the NAAK in the accessory storage pocket inside
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
|/ the mask carrier. Protect the NAAK from freezing.
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
c. Protective Mask - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔[Pg. A-5 thru A-6]
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
Protective mask is designed to provide respiratory, eye, and face
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
protection against tactical concentrations of chemical and
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
biological agents, toxins, battlefield contaminants, and
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
radiological fallout particles.

111.2 Discuss the Different Types of anti-personal agents: [Ref. c,
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
Pg. 9-1]
|/ |/
Broadly speaking, there are three types of antipersonnel agents:
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
casualty, incapacitating, and harassing.
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/
Casualty Agents - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Highly poisonous and
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
are intended to kill or seriously injure. Included in this group are
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
nerve, blister, choking, and blood agents.
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
Nonlethal Incapacitating Agents - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Render
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
personnel incapable of performing their duties by interfering with
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
the mental processes that control bodily functions. Reactions
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
vary among individuals. One person might go into shock, and
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
still another might have a feeling of extreme fatigue. These
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
agents are difficult to detect because most of them are colorless,
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
odorless, and tasteless.
|/ |/ |/
Harassing Agents - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Include tear and
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
vomiting gases that cause temporary disability. Tear gases are
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
, |/ used mainly for controlling riots, but they have been used in
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
|/ warfare with varying degrees of success. Without a gas mask,
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
|/ the individual is rapidly incapacitated, but the effects disappear
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
|/ in 5 to 10 minutes after the person dons a protective mask or
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
|/ gets to fresh air. |/ |/ |/
111.3 Discuss the effects of biological agents: - CORRECT
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
ANSWERS ✔✔[Ref. a, Pg. 11-18 thru 11-19]
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
Biological Warfare (BW) is the use of pathogens or toxins as |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
weapons. BW agents include anthrax, plague, cholera, smallpox,
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
ricin toxin, botulinum toxin, mycotoxin, aflatoxin, and many
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
others. Conventional munitions, such as aerial bombs and
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
missile warheads, can be modified to deliver BW agents. Other
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
delivery means include spray devices affixed to manned aircraft
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
or aerial drones and ground-based aerosol generators.
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
Agent Exposure. It is necessary to isolate individuals showing
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
symptoms of contagious disease. This isolation helps prevent
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
possible spread to others if the disease is communicable.
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
Treatment of biological-agent casualties requires medical
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
assistance as soon as possible. Further, symptoms associated
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
with some toxins mimic other illness or chemical-casualty
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
symptoms. Agent symptoms may include:
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/
• Dizziness, mental confusion, or double or blurred vision.
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
• Skin tingling, numbness, paralysis, or convulsions.
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
• Formation of rashes or blisters.
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/
• Coughing.
|/
• Fever, aching muscles, fatigue, and difficulty in swallowing.
