Course[h] NTRP 4-04.2.1 Doctrinal reference for NCF

1011. Discuss the conditions that led to the

formation of the U.S. Navy. [ref. a, ch. 1] The seizure of U.S. merchant shipping by

predatory French privateers and pirates from the Mediterranean's Barbary coast. In addition to their Treasury duties, the ten boats, or "Revenue Cutters," constituted the sole sea borne defense of the United States until Congress exercised its constitutional power and voted to "establish and maintain a Navy."

101In 1794, Congress authorized the

Department of War to construct six frigates, for the protection of American merchantmen against the Barbary corsairs. Four years later, in response to renewed aggression by France during its war against Great Britain, Congress finally established the Department of the Navy, authorized the Marine Corps, and began the first significant buildup of naval forces as we know them today.

1012. Identify and explain the four qualities that represent the

characteristics of the NavalForces. [ref. a, ch. 1]    A Ready Force  To be effective instruments of power, our naval forces must

beavailable and credible . not just when crises occur but daily,

whereverour allies and friends rely on our presence and wherever

potentialadversaries must perceive our firm commitment to defend

our interests.  

101A Flexible Force Naval forces have been on scene independently or as

part ofjoint task forces time and again, assisting those in

distress. Since 1945, U.S. naval forces have been involved in more than 280 crises, including 75 since 1976, and 80% of all post-World War II incidents. The flexibility of naval forces enables us to shift focus, reconfigure, and realign forces to handle a variety of contingencies.

 

101 A Self-sustaining Force When we operate in forward areas at the end of long supply lines without

a significant land-based supply structure, we need the ability to resupply at sea. Consequently, naval forces carry their own ammunition, spares, and consumables . as well as support and repair facilities for use early in a crisis or throughout a protracted conflict. This self-sustainability provides the National Command Authorities critical time to create an environment that will bring success. Our ships are designed to travel significant distances without replenishment. They carry the striking power of aircraft, guns, missiles, and

Marine forces that can execute operations ashore immediately, without an assembly period or a lengthy logistics buildup. If conflict should continue over an extended period, naval forces can remain on station through augmentation and resupply by combat logistics ships. With provisions made for on-station replacement of personnel and ships, such operations can be continued indefinitely

101A Mobile ForceNaval forces, with their strategic and tactical

mobility, havethe ability to monitor a situation passively, remain on

station for a sustained period, respond to a crisis rapidly, and maneuver in combat with authority. Naval forces can respond from over the horizon, becoming selectively visible and threatening to adversaries, as needed. If diplomatic, political, or economic measures succeed, our agility

permits us to withdraw promptly from the area without further action or buildup ashore

1013. State the importance of planning to naval

operations. [ref. b, ch. 1] Naval Planning, examines force planning

and the relationship between our capabilities and operational planning in the joint and multinational environment

 

1014. Discuss the purposes of the U.S Naval Forces. [ref f, ch. 2]      The basic roles of our naval forces are to promote and defend

our national interests by maintaining maritime superiority, contributing to regional stability, conducting operations on and from the sea, seizing or defending advanced naval bases, and conducting such land operations as may be essential to the prosecution of naval campaigns. Naval forces accomplish these roles through deterrence operations and specific peacetime operations, while maintaining war fighting readiness through continuing forward deployed presence, exercising a robust sealift capability, and developing our interoperability with all Services.

 

1015. Discuss the Sailor’s Creed and its origin.

[ref f, ch. 1] The Sailors Creed is a statement of personal

honor and integrity. It states a commitment to defend the Constitution of the United States with honor and courage and represent the fighting spirit of all the sailors that have come before us

1016. Define the Navy’s Core Values. [ref f, ch. 1; ref. g, ch. 4]  Honor: "I will bear true faith and allegiance ..."

Accordingly, we will: Conduct ourselves in the highest ethical manner in all relationships with peers, superiors and subordinates; Be honest and truthful in our dealings with each other, and with those outside the Navy; Be willing to make honest recommendations and accept those of junior personnel; Encourage new ideas and deliver the bad news, even when it is unpopular; Abide by an uncompromising code of integrity, taking responsibility for our actions and keeping our word; Fulfill or exceed our legal and ethical responsibilities in our public and personal lives twenty-four hours a day. Illegal or improper behavior or even the appearance of such behavior will not be tolerated. We are accountable for our professional and personal behavior. We will be mindful of the privilege to serve our fellow Americans.

101Courage: "I will support and defend ..."

Accordingly, we will have: courage to meet the demands of our profession and the mission when it is hazardous, demanding, or otherwise difficult; Make decisions in the best interest of the navy and the nation, without regard to personal consequences; Meet these challenges while adhering to a higher standard of personal conduct and decency; Be loyal to our nation, ensuring the resources entrusted to us are used in an honest, careful, and efficient way. Courage is the value that gives us the moral and mental strength to do what is right, even in the face of personal or professional adversity.

101Commitment: "I will obey the orders ..."

Accordingly, we will: Demand respect up and down the chain of command; Care for the safety, professional, personal and spiritual well-being of our people; Show respect toward all people without regard to race, religion, or gender; Treat each individual with human dignity; Be committed to positive change and constant improvement; Exhibit the highest degree of moral character, technical excellence, quality and competence in what we have been trained to do. The day-to-day duty of every Navy man and woman is to work together as a team to improve the quality of our work, our people and ourselves.

101101.7 Discuss the conditions that led to the

creation of the Seabees. [ref. c, d, ch. 1] Before 1941, the CEC used private contractors

to accomplish all overseas construction. The Navy realized that in the event of a war civilians could not be used outside of our country. They would not be able to protect themselves and could be treated as guerillas. The Chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks had conceived the idea of Naval Construction Battalions

 

1018. Discuss the significance of March 5,

1942 as it pertains to the Seabees.[ref. c, d, ch. 1]  Officially, permission to use the name

“Seabee” was granted on March 5, 1942. Each year March 5th is observed as the Anniversary of the Seabees.

1019. Discuss the significance of the following

personnel: Admiral Ben Moreell [ref. d, ch. 1] Considered the father of the Seabees. In

December 1941, with an eye on the developing storm clouds across both oceans, Rear Admiral Ben Moreell, Chief of the Navy's Bureau of Yards and Docks, recommended establishing Naval Contruction Battalions. With the attack on Pearl Harbor and the U.S. entrance into the war, he was given the go-ahead

101CM3 Marvin Shields [ref. d, ch. 1)In Vietnam, a Seabee, CM3 Marvin E.

Shields, a member of Seabee Team 1104, was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. This nations highest recognition was awarded to CM3 Shields for his heroic efforts in the defense of a Special Forces Camp and Vietnamese District Headquarters at Dong Xoai.

101SW2 (DV) Robert Stethem [ref. e]This young Navy diver was returning from

an assignment in the Middle East when the commercial jet on which he was a passenger was hijacked by terrorists. He was shot to death, after being tortured, by the terrorists on June 15, 1985.

Stethem was targeted because he was part of the U.S. military. He was posthumously awarded a Purple Heart and Bronze Star. In 1995, the newly commissioned destroyer USS Stethem was named for him.

10110 State the importance of planning to naval

operations. [ref. b, ch. 1] Planning is the key to successfully training,

sustaining, and ultimately fighting as a naval force.Planning facilitates future decisions and actions by

helping commanders to make provision for those things which are predictable, to examine their assumptions, to come to a common understanding about the situation and the direction of future operations, and to anticipate possible enemy actions and counteractions.

101 11. Discuss the significant contributions made by the Seabees

during the following: [ref. d, ch. 1; ref. h, Appendix b ]   a. World War II Within the first two years of the war over 300 advanced

bases were built by the Seabees. The first Underwater Demolition Teams

(UDT’s) were composed largely of Seabees. The Naval Construction

Battalions, Special, functioned as Stevedores and also the Pontoon

detachments. NMCB-14 Landed on Guadalcanal Nov 1, 1942 at Koli Point under

the command of Commander Thomas F. Reilly (CEC, USNR). NMCB-14 served on: Noumea, Espiritu Santo and Guadalcanal; Returned to the States. Second tour: Oahu and Okinawa

101Korea  Seabees were at the first landing at

Inchon positioning causeways under enemy fire. An airstrip estimated to take 35 days to build in Yo Do in the bay of Wonson, took the Seabees 16 days to complete and make operational (Operation “Crippled Chick”). Just before the the Outbreak of the Korean War the Battalions were reorganized into NMCBs and PHIBCBs

101

Vietnam

More than 29,000 Seabees were in country by 1969 and in accordance with “mobile” concept of the NCF Seabees support Marine, Navy, Army, Air Force operations throughout the RVN

101 d. Post Vietnam   The Seabees distinguished themselves with the largest peacetime

construction effort on the British Indian Ocean Territory of Diego Garcia. From 1971 to 1983, they built a remote forward logistic base and naval communications station thousands of miles from CONUS in support of U.S. military operations throughout the Southwest Asian theater. The mission of the initial contingent, consisting of NMCB and PHIBCB personnel, was to build a temporary Seabee camp; water and electrical distribution systems; messing, laundry, refrigeration, and storage facilities; and a 3,500-foot airstrip. By 1983, the Seabees had completed 220 projects with a construction value well in excess of 220 million dollars. The early, austere airstrip has been expanded three times to a final 12,000-foot lengthwith expanded taxiways, parking aprons, and several new hangars. Immense POL storage facilities for both the Navy and Air Force were also constructed as were a fuel pier, general storage buildings, and expanded personnel support facilities. The need for pre-positioned materials to support a rapid deployment force and a more active U.S. presence in Southwest Asia spurred the growth oft he forward logistic support site on the island. As a result, Diego Garcia todayis home to one of the MPF.s three MPSRONs

101e. Persian Gulf War During Operations Desert Shield and Desert

Storm, nearly 5,000 Seabees from 6 NMCBs were employed in-theater. The Seabees constructed troop bed down facilities for 42,000 personnel, vast storage areas, aircraft parking aprons comprising millions of square feet, ASPs covering hundreds of acres, EPW camps housing up to 40,000 men, many ISBs, and hundreds of miles of roads.

101f. Military Operations Other Than WarSeabees are also known for their many

humanitarian, civic action, and disaster relief efforts in support of a wide range of MOOTW missions. In recent years, Seabees have aided the victims of Hurricanes Hugo in 1989 and Andrew in 1992; the 1989 San Francisco earthquake, and Tunisian floods during Operation Atlas Rail in1990.

101g. Global War on TerrorConstruction and security support in Iraq and

1026 Discuss the National Military Commands chain of

command structure under two distinct branches[ref. a, ch. 3]:

  Operational Chain Of Command Joint forces chain of command.

 Service Chain Of Command Specific branch chain of command. 

1027 Define command and control (C2). [ref. a, ch. 3]Operational Control, (OPCON), is defined as

the authority to assign tasks, to designate objectives, and to give any specific directions necessary to accomplish a mission. If required, a specific date for mission completion may be specified.

Administrative Control, (ADCON), is defined as the coordination of training, project selection, logistic support, movement of personnel and equipment, furnishing services, supplies, and materials for assigned units.

102 .8 Discuss assignment/transfer and attachment of forces. [ref. a, ch. 3]   The USMC/USN Terms of Reference state that OPCON is the only

command and support relationship appropriate and authorized when Seabee units are employed within the MAGTF organization. ADCON usually remains with the Seabee unit.s parent NCB. OPCON of

Seabee units provides the MAGTF commander with authority to direct the forces assigned so that the commander may:

1. Accomplish specific missions or tasks that are usually limited by function, time, or location.

2. Deploy the Seabee units concerned as appropriate. 3. Retain or assign tactical control of those Seabee units. OPCON does not include authority to assign separate employment of elements of the units concerned. Neither does it, by itself, include

administrative or logistic control. OPCON of those Seabee organizations not governed by the TOR, but employed in theater, may also be exercised by commands other than those which have ADCON, such as the unified CINCs, CJTFs, or component commanders

102102.9 Discuss the levels of authority (control) [ref. a, ch.

3]: A. Type Commander (TYCOM)All ships are organized into catagories by type. Aircraft

carriers, aircraft squadrons, and air stations are under the administrative control of the appropriate Commander Naval Air Force. Submarines come under the Commander Submarine Force. All other ships fall under Commander Naval Surface Force. Also, you will note that the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets mirror one another. Normally, the type command controls the ship during its primary and intermediate training cycles and then it moves under the operational control of a fleet commander. Some of the blocks in this diagram are hyperlinked to the web site of that command

102b. Combatant Command (COCOM)  Nontransferable command authority

established by title 10 ("Armed Forces"), United States Code, section 164, exercised only by commanders of unified or specified combatant commands unless otherwise directed by the President or the Secretary of Defence.

102c. Operational Control (OPCON)Operational Control, (OPCON), is defined

as the authority to assign tasks, to designate objectives,

and to give any specific directions necessary to accomplish a mission. If required, a specific date

for mission completion may be specified

102d. Tactical Control (TACON)Command authority over assigned or attached

forces or commands, or military capability or forces made available for tasking. Tactical control is limited to the detailed and, usually, local direction and control of movements or maneuvers necessary to accomplish missions or tasks assigned. Tactical control is inherent in operational control. Tactical control may be delegated to, and exercised at any level at or below the level of combatant command

102e. Support 1. The action of a force that aids, protects,

complements, or sustains another force in accordance with a directive requiring such action.

2. A unit which helps another unit in battle.3. An element of a command which assists,

protects, or supplies other forces in combat.  

102f. Administrative Control (ADCON)Administrative Control, (ADCON), is

defined as the coordination of training, project selection, logistic support, movement of personnel and equipment, furnishing services, supplies, and materials for assigned units

102g. Coordinating Authority A commander or individual assigned

responsibility for coordinating specific functions or activities involving forces of two or more Military Departments or two or more forces of the same Service.

102h. Direct Liaison Authorized (DIRLAUTH)That authority granted by a commander (any

level) to a subordinate to directly consult or coordinate an action with a command or agency within or outside of the granting command.

102a. Supported Commander The commander having primary

responsibility for all aspects of a task assigned by the Joint Strategic Capabilities Plan or other joint operation planning authority

102b. Supporting CommanderCommander who provides augmentation

forces or other support to a supported commander or who develops a supporting plan.

102c. General Support That support which is given to the supported

force as a whole and not to any particular subdivision thereof. [Note: the Army being as they’re confused, designates general support as a “support relationship”]

102d. Mutual SupportThat support which units render each other

against an enemy, because of their assigned tasks, their position relative to each other and to the enemy, and their inherent capabilities.

 

102e. Direct Support A mission requiring a force to support

another specific force andauthorizing it to answer directly the

supported force’s request for assistance. [Note: Army designates this as a “support relationship” instead of “mission.”]

102.11 Discuss the following plans and orders

[ref. d]: a. Operation Plan (OPLAN) Operational Plan, (OPLAN) is a detailed

statement of a course of action to be followed to accomplish a future mission.

102b. Operation Order (OPORD) Operational Order, (OPORDS) may be

oral, dictated, or in written form. The most important determining factor of the

form and the method of issuing an OPORD is time available for its preparation and distribution

102c. Warning Order (WARNO)Warning Order, The purpose of a Warning

Order is to give advance notice that a unit is to be moved. If time permits, the order is usually issued about 90 days in advance of the departure date. This time period allows subordinate units time to prepare for the move.

102d. Frag order (FRAGO) A change to the original order. 

102102.12 Discuss the following levels of security

clearances when does Personnel SecurityInvestigation (PSI) expire for each [ref. f, ch 4]:  a. Top Secret (TS) 5 years.  Top Secret is the classification level applied to

informationwhose unauthorized disclosure could reasonably

be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security

102Secret (S)  Ten years Secret is the classification level applied to

informationwhose unauthorized disclosure could

reasonably be expected to cause serious damage to the national security.

 

102Confidential (C) Lifetime Confidential is the classification level

applied toinformation whose unauthorized disclosure

could reasonably be expected to cause damage to the national security.

 

10213 Discuss the procedures required for the

following [ref. e, ch 9]: a. Determine clearance eligibilityThe authorized holder of classified

information mustdetermine that the intended recipient has

security clearance eligibility established at (or above) the level of access required.

 

102b. Grant accessNo person shall be deemed to be eligible for

acces to classified information unless such access is clearly consistent with the interests of national security. Eligibility for access shall not be granted merely by reason of Federal service or contracting, licensee, certificate holder, or grantee status, or as a matter of right or privilege, or as a result of any particular title, rank, position, or affiliation.

102c. Grant interim security clearanceIn the absence of adverse information,

commanding officersmay grant temporary access (also referred to as

interimclearance or interim access) to individuals

pending completionof full investigative requirements and pending

establishment of security clearance eligibility by the DON CAF. Temporary access is an exception to the requirement for a completed investigation and eligibility determination prior to access.

 

102Adjust or suspend access Access terminates when an individual transfers from

onecommand to another, however eligibility will normally

remainunaffected.Commanding officers will administratively withdraw

anindividual's access authorization when a permanent

change inofficial duties (e.g., rating/MOS changes) eliminates

the DON requirement for access

102.14 Explain what the Joint Clearance and Access

Verification System (JCAVS) is[ref. e, Appendix E]:  JCAVS is the application that supports command

securitypersonnel providing capabilities such as

communication links with the CAFs, e-QIP links to submit investigation requests, and records keeping capabilities.

102.15 Discuss the control measures for classified

information [ref. f, ch 7] Commanding officers shall ensure that classified

informationis processed only in secure facilities, on

accreditedInformation Technology (IT) systems, and under

conditions whichprevent unauthorized persons from gaining

access.

10216 Explain the fundamentals of the Seabee

Skills Assessment Program [ref. g]Interviewers are provided specific skill

questions, which allow the interviewee to verbally demonstrate his or her knowledge of the skill. Additionally, critical skill requirements within each skill are identified, and overall pass/fail guidelines are provided

102.17 Discuss required Special Incident

Reporting [ref. h]  Details of accident/incident, Description of loss or damage. Description of METOC conditions at time

leading accident/incident. 

102 102.18 Discuss what information is required for submitting an

Area Clearance Message for a specific country [ref. i]       In some cases, the OUSD(P), DoS, and country or theater

clearance may not be required. However, host-government country clearance usually

are required if the traveler visits a host-government activity or contractor facility

where classified information might be discussed. In such cases, special care must

be taken to comply with the personnel clearance provisions of the FCG and related host-

government security requirements.

103103.5 Discuss the Hearing Conservation Program and

when personnelare required to be enrolled. [ref. a, ch 18] Intended to prevent hearing loss related to exposure to

high noise levels. Noises greater than 84 dba and peak noises greater

than 140 dba require hearing protection. (ear plugs or ear muffs)

 Noises greater than 104 dba require double hearing

protection. (ear plugs and muffs)Personnel are enrolled in the Hearing Conservation

Program when they are exposed to noises greater than 84 dba for an 8 hour time weighted average based on a 40 hour work week.

1036 Explain the different types of hearing protection

and when are they required.[ref. a, ch 18] Insert type: Ear plugsCircumaural type: Ear muffsRequired for continuous noise levels greater than

84 dba and peak noise levels greater than 140 dba Combination: Ear plugs and ear muffsRequired for continuous noise levels greater than

104 dba

103.7 Explain why it is necessary to properly use and

maintain Personal ProtectiveEquipment (PPE). [ref. a, ch 20]  Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should be

maintained in a condition that allows proper use of the equipment.

Scratched lenses, dirty, missing components, etc. can lessen the effectiveness of the equipment and deter usage.

When PPE is not used properly people may be injured or property damaged

103.8 State the purpose of temporary electrical

power sources and explain source inspection and certification requirements. [ref. b, ch 24]

 Temporary electric power is defined as any

electric power source used for construction, renovation, contingency, or emergency operations. (any electric power source we use with hand tools and equipment is considered “temporary power”.)

All temporary electric power sources must be inspected and certified safe, inspections are to be conducted initially and updated bimonthly

 

103.9 Explain when Ground Fault Circuit

Interruption (GFCI) protection is required.[ref. c, 29 CFR 1926, Subpart K ] Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI’s) are

required to be used with all electric hand tools (drills, saws, concrete vibrators, etc.).

GFCI’s detect a change in the flow of electricity and interrupt the circuit before any harm can be

done to personnel. GFCI’s must trip at less than .5 milliamperes.

GFCI’s must be tested monthly to ensure proper function.

103.10 Explain the importance of properly

grounding portable electrical powerand distribution systems. [ref. d, ch 3] Electrical distribution systems require

grounding to provide over current protection to the equipment, should the equipment be struck by lightning the grounding method provides a path to ground for the energy instead of through the distribution system.

103.11 Discuss lockout/tag-out requirements for the

following: a. Program [ref. b, ch 24]All potential energy sources must be secured

prior to working on equipment and machinery. Locks and tags are installed to prevent accidental

activation of the equipment or energizing the power source while work is being performed.

Damaged or unsafe equipment or machinery should be locked or tagged out of service to prevent use until repairs are made.

103b. Procedures [ref. a, ch 24) A tag is installed on the device that is locked

out, it is then logged in the tag out log. Both lockout and tagout devices shall

indicate the identity of the employee applying the device(s). Lockout/tagout devices shall be standardized throughout a region or within each

shore activity

103 103.12 Define “Confined space” and discuss the hazards associated with it.

[ref. a, ch 27] Confined spaces are spaces with: limited access or egress (not equipped with regular doors or intended for

frequent entry) poor to no ventilation potential to contain harmful gasses or vapors. Low or high oxygen concentration <19.5% or > 23.5%   Hazards associated with confined spaces: Suffocation–Oxygen Deficiency below 19.5 %. Poisoning–Toxic gases or materials Explosion–Flammable gases or materials Electrocution Entrapment Typical injuries (cuts, abrasions, falling, slipping, etc.)

10313 Explain who is authorized to certify a “Confined space”

as safe for entry/work. [ref. a, ch 27]  Confined Space Program Manager.Only person who can certify a confined space entrance.Lists PPE required to enter a confined space.Lists the types of hazards.Constantly monitors work space during job.Only Gas Free Engineers are authorized to certify a

confined space for entry.Once all personnel exit the space for any duration, the

space must be re-certified.All confined spaces with potential hazards require a permit

for entry

103 14 Discuss the three basic types of respirators and explain their use, care, and selection. [ref. a, ch 15]     Air purifying: Purifies the air by filtration (does not provide oxygen) Supplied air: Uses a respirator face piece in conjunction with a remote air

source, air hose restrictsmovement, unlimited time limit Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) completely self contained allows

freedom of movement in harmful environments, has time limitation. USE: Inline Respirator.–Used in oxygen deficient spaces or where hazardous gases

are present. Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA).–Used in oxygen deficient spaces

or where hazardous gases are present. Usually when the workers will be on the move. Air Purifying Respirator.–Used to clean the air you are breathing only. Cannot

filter out hazardous gases or provide oxygen to breath.

103Care:Cleaning.-Wipe after each use with alcohol swab.-Wash monthly with warm soapy water.Maintenance.-Fixed by the RPPM only.Storage.-Stored in dry, clean, labeled and air tight bag.-Stored laying flat.

10315 Discuss the importance of the Industrial

Hygiene and Work Place MonitoringProgram. [ref. a, ch 8] Industrial Hygiene (IH) personnel recognize,

evaluate and make recommendations to control potential workplace hazards.

Assess potential health risks faced by Navy personnel.

Establish and document historical records of exposure levels for Navy personnel.

Ensure and demonstrate compliance with NAVOSH exposure criteria

10316 Discuss the basic reporting procedures required when

anunsafe/unhealthful working condition report is submitted.

[ref. a, ch 10]Report to Chain of Command. If Chain of Command does not resolve the problem report

to the Safety Office. If you desire not to verbally report to the Safety Office, you

may submit a “Report of Unsafe/Unhealthful Working Conditions” OPNAV 5100/11.Once the Safety Office receives the report they have up to

72 hours to investigate the situation. Alleged imminent danger situations will be investigated

within 24 hours.The Safety Officer will reply in writing to the person

submitting the report within 10 working days.

103 17 Discuss the four general classes of fires and what types of extinguishers are used on each. [ref. e, ch 18]       Class A Fires in ordinary combustible materials such as wood, cloth, paper, rubber and many plastics.   Use water , antifreeze, soda-acid, foam, aqueous film forming foam(AFFF), loaded stream, multipurpose dry chemical and Halon type fire extinguishers.   Class B Fires in flammable liquids, oils, greases, tars, oil base paints, lacquers and flammable gases.   Use Halon, CO2, dry chemical, foam and aqueous film forming foam type fire extinguishers. Class C   Fires which involve energized electrical equipment where the electrical nonconductivity of the extinguishing media is of importance.   Use Halon, CO2 and dry chemical type fire extinguishers. Class D Fires in combustible metals such as magnesium, titanium, zirconium, sodium, lithium and potassium.   Use the fire extinguisher approved for each specific combustible-metal hazard

103 18 Discuss the purpose of a safety stand-down. [ref. e, ch. 1]   Safety Stand-downs are to provide specific safety information and training

for specific hazards, evolutions, and activities. Safety Stand-downs are usually before known potentially dangerous times

such as holiday seasons, prior to exercises, etc. Additionally, Safety Stand-downs are scheduled after catastrophic mishaps

to prevent similar mishaps.   Provides a forum to release specific safety information or guidance to a

large audience. Used to focus personnel on specific hazards of their jobs and work stations. Re-enforces safety as the number one priority required in the performance

of their jobs. Provides time for personnel to reflect on past and current work safety

practices and standards.

103.19 Discuss the concept of ORM. [ref. f] Operational risk management is defining

risks involved with actions and weighing the risks against the possible gains.

103103.20 Explain the following as they apply to

ORM: [ref. f]a. Identify hazardsBegin with an outline or chart of the

major steps in the operation (operation analysis). Next, conduct a Preliminary Hazard Analysis by listing all of the hazards associated with each step in the operational analysis along with possible causes for those hazards.

103b. Assessing hazards For each hazard identified, determine the

associated degree of risk in terms of probability and severity

103c. Making risk decisionsStart with the most serious risk and

select controls that will reduce the risk to a minimum consistent with mission accomplishment. With selected controls in place, decide if the benefit of the operation outweighs the risk. If the risk outweighs benefit or if assistance is required to implement controls, communicate with higher authority in the chain of command

103d. Implementing controls Complete a plan of how each risk will be

handled with the allowable limits. 

103e. SupervisingMonitor for any changes which might present

new hazards. Adjust ineffective controls.Determine which controls are effective and

ensure they are implemented for future similar evolutions.

103 21 Discuss the four principals of ORM. [ref. f]     Applying the Operational Risk Management process will reduce

mishaps, lower costs and provide for more efficient use of resources.

A decision making tool used by people at all levels to increase operational effectiveness by anticipating hazards and reducing the potential for loss, thereby increasing the probability of a successful mission.

Increases our ability to make informed decisions by providing the best baseline of knowledge and experience available

  Minimizes risks to acceptable levels, commensurate with mission

accomplishment. The amount of risk we will take in war is much greater than that we will take in peace, but the process is the weighing of the gain against the possible loss

103 .22 Define Hazard severity and mishap probability in relation to

the Risk Assessment Code. [ref. f]     An expression of the risk associated with a hazard that combines

the hazard severity and mishap probability into a single Arabic number.

    RAC Definitions: 1 - Critical risk 2 – Serious risk 3 – Moderate risk 4 – Minor risk 5 – Negligible risk  

104104 BASIC FIRST AID AND PERSONAL

HYGIENE FUNDAMENTALSReferences:[a] NAVEDTRA 14295, Hospital Corpsman[b] NAVEDTRA 14234, Seabee Combat

Handbook, Vol. 1 

104104.1 State the sequence to examine an injured person.

[ref. b, ch. 10]  Check for breathing: lack of oxygen intake can lead to brain damage or death in a very few minutesCheck for bleeding: life cannot continue without an adequate volume of blood to carry oxygen to tissuesCheck for shock: unless shock is prevented or treated,

death may result even though the injury would not otherwise be fatal.

104.2 State the reason for not moving an injured

person unless absolutely necessary.[ref. b, ch. 10] As a general rule, make your preliminary

examination in the position and place you find the victim. Moving the victim before this check could gravely endanger life, especially if there are fractures, skull or spine injuries.

104 Describe the signs, symptoms, and treatment of shock. [ref. b, ch.

10])

Shock is a condition in which the circulation of the blood is seriously disturbed. This can cause lack of oxygen to body systems.

Signs/symptoms The signs of shock do not always appear at the onset of the injury.

The following is a list of some of those signs: Sweaty but cool skin (clammy skin) Paleness of skin Restlessness or nervousness Thirst Pulse is weak and rapid Enlarged pupils Breathing is shallow and irregular Blotchy or bluish skin, especially around the mouth Nausea and/or vomiting

104Treatment–Keep the victim calm Try to prevent the victim

from seeing the injuryIf victim is conscience and no internal injuries

are evident, you should give the victim small amounts of warm water.

If it is possible, place the injured person on the back on a bed, cot, or stretcher, and raise the lower end of the support about 12 inches so that the victim's feet will be higher than the head

1044 Explain why you should not give an

unconscious person anything by mouth.[ref. b, ch. 10] Giving an unconscious person any food or

drink by mouth can cause vomiting.If the victim vomits, the vomited material

may enter the lungs. Victim could choke to death

104.5 Describe the three types of bleeding. [ref. b,

ch. 10] Capillary bleeding. Bleeding is slow, the blood

"oozes" from the (wound) cut  Venous bleeding. The blood is dark red or

maroon, and flows in a steady stream  Arterial bleeding. The blood bright red and

“spurts” from the wound. Arterial bleeding is life threatening and

difficult to control

104.6 Explain the four methods for controlling

bleeding. [ref. b, ch. 10]  Direct pressure:First method to use when controlling bleeding. In

almost every case bleeding can be stopped by direct pressure on the wound Use a sterile dressing when available and tie a knot directly over the wound. Do not tie the knot

too tight and cut off circulation

104Elevation:Raising an injured limb above the level of the

heart helps to control the bleeding. Elevation should be used together with direct

pressureCaution!•Do not elevate a limb when you suspect

a fracture

104Indirect pressure: In instances of severe bleeding where direct

pressure and elevation are not controlling the bleeding, indirect pressure may be used.Bleeding from a cut artery or vein can often be controlled by applying pressure to the appropriate pressure point. The object of the

pressure is to compress the artery against the bone, thus shutting off the flow of blood

from the heart to the wound

104Tourniquet:Should only be used as a last resort for

severe, life threatening bleeding that cannot be

controlled by any other method. When using this method, be thoroughly familiar with the dangers and limitations of it’s use

104 7 Discuss the major pressure points of the body. [ref. b, ch. 10]   Facial artery   Apply pressure on this point when bleeding is on the face below the level of the eyes     Subclavian artery   Used for bleeding in the shoulder or in the upper part of the arm. Apply pressure with the fingers behind the clavicle     Brachial artery   Used to control bleeding between the middle of the upper arm and the elbow     Radial and ulnar arteries   Used to control bleeding from the hand.   If possible hold the arm up in the air     Iliac artery   Used to control bleeding from the thigh.   Pressure with your fingers should be sufficient to stop the bleeding

104 104.8 Describe the first aid treatment for a sucking chest wound. [ref. a, ch. 4]   Requires immediate first aid treatment     A penetrating injury to the chest that produces a hole in the chest cavity, causing the

lung to collapse, which prevents normal breathing functions It is imperative the wound be sealed with an airtight dressing to prevent air from

entering the chest cavity through the wound. Any material that will form an airtight barrier, can be used if they are large enough to cover the wound

  If the victim’s condition suddenly deteriorates when you apply the seal,

IMMEDIATELY remove it   After the wound is sealed and dressed, the victim should be placed on the wounded

side unless there are back injuries   Watch the victim closely for shock and treat accordingly   Do not give victim anything to drink. Transport to treatment facility IMMEDIATELY

104.9 Describe the first aid treatment for a person with

a suspected spinal injury.[ref. b, ch. 10] Do not move the victim unless it is absolutely

essential Do not bend or twist the victim’s body, do not move

the head forward, backward, or sideways and do not under any circumstances allow the victim to sit up

  

104 .10 Describe the three degrees of burns. [ref. b, ch. 10]   First Degree Burns Characterized by redness, mild swelling, and pain Usually the result of spending too much time in the sun, short contact with

chemicals, or minor scalding with hot water or steam Second Degree Burns Are much deeper than first-degree burns Appearance: very red with blisters Usually results from deep sunburns or flash burns from gasoline fires Most painful type of burns because the nerve endings are still intact even

though the skin is severely damaged Third Degree Burns The most serious burn because the burn is so deep, it requires a long time

to heal and scars will form over the burn area Skin may look white or charred black Extends through all layers of the skin and into the flesh below the skin.  

104 .11 Describe the first aid treatment for the following burns:     a. White phosphorous burn on back [ref. b, ch. 10] A special category of burn is that caused by contact with white

phosphorus   First aid for this type of burn is complicated by the fact that white

phosphorus particles ignite upon contact with air   Treatment: Partially embedded particles must be continuously flushed with

water while the first aid provider removes them with whatever tools are available

  Deeply embedded particles that cannot be removed must be

covered with a saline soaked dressing

104b. Chemical burn on arm [ref. b, ch. 10] Flush the area immediately with a lot of cool

running water for 5 to 10 minutes to wash away any chemicals.

 Remove clothing and jewelry from the victim

on which chemicals have spilledFlush again with water and gently pat it dry

with a sterile gauze. Do not rub the area.

104Alkali burns caused by dry lime:Mixing water and lime creates a very

corrosive substance. Dry lime should be removed by brushing the material from the skin and clothing unless massive amounts of water are available for rapid and complete flushing

104Acid burns caused by carbolic acidWash the affected area with alcohol because

carbolic acid is not water soluble. Then wash the area with large quantities of water

 If alcohol is not available, flushing with water

is better than no treatment at all

104 c. Flash burn to eyes [ref. a, ch. 8]   Burns caused by a nuclear explosion are divided into two classes:

direct and indirect burns Direct burns, usually called flash burns, are the result of thermal,

infrared radiation emitted by a nuclear explosion Indirect burns are the result of fires caused by the explosion   Symptoms: Blindness may persist for 20 to 30 minutes Eyes are irritated, like having sand in the eyes   Treatment: Apply cold compresses to the affected area. Transport victim to

the nearest medical treatment facility

104d. Chemical burn to eyes [ref. b, ch. 10] The one and only emergency treatment for a chemical

burn to the eyes is to flush the eye(s) immediately with large amounts of water or sterile saline solution

Acid burns to the eyes should be irrigated for at least 5 to 10 minutes with at least 200 milliliters of water

  Alkali burns should be irrigated for at least 20 minutes  Do not allow water to fall directly on the eye. Hold the

victim’s head in a position that allows water to flow from inside the corner of the eye toward the outside

104 .12 Describe the symptoms and treatment of: [ref. b, ch. 10]   a. Heat cramps Heat cramps usually affect people who work in hot environments or who engage in strenuous

exercise without acclimating themselves to the conditions   May result from drinking ice water or other cold drinks too quickly or in too large a quantity after

exercise   Symptoms –Excessive sweating which can result in painful cramps in the muscles of the abdomen, legs, and

arms   Muscle spasms caused by heat cramps usually last only a few minutes   Treatment Move to a cool place   Give plenty of water to drink   Gently massage muscles to relieve the spasms   If symptoms do not improve treat for heat exhaustion and transport to a medical facility

104b. Heat exhaustionThe most common heat related condition resulting from

prolonged exposure to hot conditions  Heat exhaustion involves a serious disturbance of blood

flow to the brain, heart, and lungs  Symptoms:Victim may appear ashen gray; skin will be cold, moist,

clammy, normal or subnormal temperaturePupils may be enlargedVictim may experience symptoms such as weakness,

fatigue, headache, loss of appetite, and nausea    

104 c. Heat stroke   Sunstroke is more accurately called heat stroke since it is not necessary to be

exposed to the sun for this condition to develop. Heat stroke is less common but far more serious than heat exhaustion. The most important factor of heat stroke is the extremely high body temperature,

105 F or higher, that accompanies it 20% mortality rate   Symptoms: Dry hot skin Pupils constricted Very high body temperature Treatment –Heat stroke is a true life or death emergency The longer the victim remains overheated, the more likely the victim is to suffer

irreversible body and brain damage or death The main objective is to get the body temperature down as quickly as possible Get victim to a medical treatment facility as soon as possible   Cooling measures must be continued during transport

10413 Explain how heat casualties in the field

may be prevented. [ref. a, ch. 4] Command responsibility  Prevention centers on water and salt

replacement Do not consume alcoholic beverages

104.14 Describe frostbite and immersion foot. [ref. b, ch.

10] Frostbite occurs when ice crystals form in the skin or

deeper tissues after sustained exposure to a temperature of 32 degrees F or lower

Depending upon the temperature, altitude, and wind speed, the exposure time necessary to produce frostbite varies from a few minutes to several hours.

The areas most commonly affected are the face and extremities

 Frostbite occurs when ice crystals form in the skin or

deeper tissues after sustained exposure to a temperature of 32 degrees F or lower

104 Immersion foot, which may also occur in the hands, is a cold injury resulting from prolonged exposure to wet, cold

temperatures just above freezing It is often associated with limited motion of the extremities and water-soaked clothing The temperature does not need to be below 32 degrees F to cause injury   Symptoms Early stages, the feet and toes turn pale and feel cold, numb, and stiff Walking becomes difficult The feet will swell and become painful If not treated the flesh dies and amputation of the extremity may be necessary   •Treatment: Do not rub or massage the injured part   Remove wet clothing   Do not rupture blisters or apply salves or ointments       Clean with soap and water, dry thoroughly, elevate and keep extremity exposed to dry air   Evacuate by litter.  

104 104.15 Describe the signs and symptoms of hypothermia. [ref. b, ch. 10]   Hypothermia is cooling of the entire body. It can be caused by continued

exposure to low or rapidly dropping temperatures, cold moisture, snow, and/or ice

  Symptoms:   Several stages of progressive shivering Feelings of sluggishness, drowsiness and confusion Victim may become unconscious Victim may go into shock The lower extremities may freeze     Treatment: Victim must be warmed quickly Move victim to warmth

104.16 Explain how cold injuries can be prevented.

[ref. a, ch. 4] Cold weather injuries can be prevented by

becoming accustomed to a cold climate, by wearing warm layered clothing, and by maintaining good discipline and training

 Wearing dry gloves, stocking cap, well

insulated boots, and keeping the body well hydrated will help the body maintain its normal temperature

104 .17 Describe the symptoms and first aid treatment for a joint dislocation.

[ref. a, ch. 4]   Description A bone that has been forcibly displaced from its joint is dislocated Dislocations are usually caused by falls or blows but are occasionally

caused by muscle exertion. The joints that are most frequently dislocated are the shoulder, hip, finger, and jaw

  Symptoms   Rapid swelling and discoloration Loss of ability to use the joint Severe pain and muscle spasms Possible numbness Possible loss of pulse below the joint Shock

104TreatmentLoosen the clothing around the injured partPlace the victim in the most comfortable

position possibleSupport the injured part by means of a sling,

pillow, bandages, splints, or any other device that will make the victim comfortable

Treat the victim for shockGet medical help as soon as possible

104.18 Explain when and why a cold pack or heat pad

would be used on a sprain.[ref. a, ch. 4] Treat all sprains as fractures until ruled out by x-rays Apply cold packs for the first 24 to 48 hours to reduce

swelling and to control internal hemorrhage Apply a snug, smooth, figure eight bandage to control

swelling and to provide immobilizationAfter the swelling stops moist heat can be applied for

short periods (15 to 30 minutes) to promote healing and reduce swelling

104.19 Describe the procedure for treating

insect bites. [ref. a, ch. 5] The best method for removing ticks is to coat

them with petroleum jelly, baking powder paste, or clear nail polish

The tick should be pulled off with a pair of tweezers or one’s fingers.

Care should be taken not to crush the tick or break off the head or embedded mouth parts while still in the skin

104.20 Describe the first aid treatment for snake bites. [ref. a, ch.

5] The most important first aid treatment for venomous

snakebites is reducing the circulation of blood through the bite area

 This will delay absorption of the venom, prevent aggravation

of the local wound, and maintain the victim’s vital signs  Wrap a constricting band 2 to 3 inches above the fang marks,

or above the nearest joint, but away from the swelling  A second constricting band should be placed 2 to 3 inches

below the wound.

104 If the victim can not reach a medical facility within 30 minutes,

and if there are definite signs of poisoning, use a sterile knife blade to make an incision about 1/2 inch long and 1/4 inch deep lengthwise over each fang mark.

Apply suction cups to help remove injected venom. Suction by mouth is recommended only as a last resort.   The human mouth contains so many bacteria that the bite could

become infected. Incision and suction more than 30 minutes after the bite is not

recommended. Treat for shock Use a splint to immobilize the victim’s affected extremity, keeping

the involved area at or below the level of the heart   Cover the wound to prevent further contamination.

104.21 Describe the first aid treatment for fractures. [ref. b, ch.

10] If there is any possibility that a fracture has been sustained,

treat the injury as a fracture until an x-ray can be made Rough handling of the victim may convert a closed fracture

into an open fracture, increase the severity of shock, or cause extensive damage to the blood vessels, nerves, muscles, and other tissues around the broken bone

 Do not move the victim until the injured part has been

splintedTreat for shock

104.22 Describe how to reinforce a compress

dressing. [ref. a, ch. 4]26 Battle dressings may be reinforced by

applying additional sterile dressings over the battle dressing and covering the entire dressing with an elastic bandage

10426 Explain three methods of purifying water in

the field. [ref. b, ch. 10] Boiling Boiling is used when disinfecting compounds are

not available. To purify a canteen of water by boiling, follow the steps listed below:

 Boil the water at a rolling boil for at least 15-

20 secondsLet the water cool before drinking it. Once the

water has cooled, it must be consumed 

104Iodine TabletsCheck tablets for physical change. If the tablets are stuck

together, crumbled, or have a color other than steel gray, do not use them.

Fill canteen with the cleanest, clearest water availableAdd one iodine per 1 quart canteen of clear water, 2 tablets

if the water is cloudy  Place cap loosely and wait 5 minutes  Shake canteen, allowing leakage to rinse the threads

around the neck of the canteen  Tighten the cap and wait an additional 20 minutes before

using the water for any purpose

104 Calcium hypochlorite ampules Fill the canteen with the clearest, cleanest water available, leaving an air

space of at least 1 inch below the neck of the canteen   Add one ampule of calcium hypochlorite to a canteen cup half full of

water; stir with a clean stick until the powder has dissolved     Fill the canteen cap half full of the solution in the cup, and add it to the

water in the canteen, place the cap on the canteen and shake it thoroughly

    Loosen the cap slightly; invert the canteen to allow the treated water to

leak onto the threads around the canteen neck   Tighten the cap and wait at least 30 minutes before using the water.

Program Manual [g] 29 CFR Part 1910 General Industry Standards

105105.1 Describe the difference between

Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) and Hazardous

Waste (HW). [ref. c ch. 5] Hazardous material is something that can be

used for a purpose, the waste is the byproduct that is not utilized

105 2 State the purpose and information contained on the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). [ref. b, ch. 7; ref. c ch. 5]   Document generated by manufacturer of the material   Communicates to the users the chemical, physical, and hazardous properties of that material.   In compliance with OSHA hazard communication, standard key information contained includes the

following     Name, address, and emergency contact for the manufacturer Physical/Chemical Characteristics   Fire and Explosive Hazard Data   Reactivity Data     Health Hazard Data   Precautions for Safe Handling and Use   Control Measures

105 .3 What are the six categories of HAZMAT? [ref. c, ch. 5]   Category Hazard Level Work Center Description A High Industrial Operations/ Heavy Equipment

Operations and Maintenance Toxic/Hazardous Materials Handling/ Construction Other: Exposures to heat, cold, diving salvage, heights or other high risk work. B Moderate

Supply/Transportation/Medical/Mechanics/RDT&E: Engineers, test mechanics and laboratory personnel involved in the research, development, evaluation and test of systems.   C Low Administrative, Clerical, Classroom D Shipboard Personnel E Operating Forces F Students

105 .4 Explain the storage procedures for incompatible material. [ref. d, ch. C2304, Appendix. C23-F]   According to the type of HAZMAT, certain storage procedures must be applied.   For example, do not mix flammables and toxic materials, or flammables and

corrosives, together.   The safest practice is to draw only the amount of material that can be used that

day.   Storing hazardous materials on the job site requires the use of approved

containers.   Containers must be placed a minimum of 50 feet away from any ignition device

or source.   Plan for the delivery of proper storage equipment before hazardous materials

are delivered to job site

105.5 What are the general procedures to be followed

when a HazardousMaterial/Hazardous Waste (HM/HW) spill occurs or is

discovered?[ref. f, ch. 10; ref. g, 29 CFR 1910.120] The unit must respond immediatelyMust have an approved response team, equipment

and disposal plan. Reports must be made and tests conducted to ensure

no contamination remains. Disposal of contaminated soils, etc. must follow

strict guidelines

105.8 Describe the purpose of secondary labeling of

HAZMAT when unit packages(marked packages that are part of a larger

container) are removed from the shippingcontainer. [ref. b, ch. 7] To inform the user by means of words, pictures,

symbols, or combination thereof of the specific physical and health hazard(s), including target organ effects, of the chemical(s) in the container(s).

1059 Define the following terms: a. Hazardous Material Minimization Center

(HAZMINCEN) [ref. d, ch. C2303] Central Hazardous Materials Center for an

installation. Responsible for procurement and

inventory management activities

105 b. Consolidated Hazardous Material Reutilization and Inventory

Management Program (CHRIMP) [ref. f, ch. 3]   Consolidated Hazardous Material Reutilization Inventory

Management Program Purpose: Reduce Costs Protect navy and other personnel from unnecessary exposure to

Hazardous Waste and Material     Minimizes the Navy’s long-term risk for liability associated with HW

disposal. Comply with all Federal, state, and local environmental statutes,

laws, and regulations.

105c. Hazardous Materials Inventory Control System

(HICS) [ref. f, ch. 3]  Hazardous Inventory Control SystemPrepares reports for administration purposes of the

HAZMAT inventory. A combined program with CHRIMPBoth CHRIMP AND HICS are being replaced with

Hazardous Substance Management System (HSMS). This program provides

the same functions

105 105.10 Discuss the aspects of portable containment of oils spills

on water. [ref. b , ch. 7]   An oil slick on the surface of the water blocks the flow of oxygen

from the atmosphere into the water. Booming of spills has proved to be effective in containing spills of

liquids on relatively calm and current-free waters.Following confinement of oil spills on water, various methods of removing the confined liquid have been used. Absorbents, such as straw, plastics, sawdust, and peat moss are spread on the surface of the spill and then collected and burned on shore.

Skimming devices operate on a different principle and must include pumps and separators.

  Skimmers scoop up the oil and water and send them through an

oil separator and rollers to which only the oil adheres. The oil is then removed by scraping and compression.

105a. Oil spillsCan detrimentally affect wildlife and the environment.  OIL SPILLS ON WATER.— An oil slick on the

surface of the water blocks the flow of oxygen from the atmosphere into the water. This is harmful to fish and other aquatic life

Besides harming aquatic life, drinking water can become contaminated by oil.

Drinking water from wells and surface storage facilities is treated with chemicals to rid the water of harmful bacteria. However, no amount of treatment can rid a system of contamination from waste oil products. The system must be abandoned.

105 b. Grubbing operations Large scale clearing in initial stages of a project can produce damaging

side effects: Increased soil erosion Reduction of atmospheric oxygen Destruction of wildlife habitat Preventive measures Save as much vegetation as possible Construct shallow trench around project   Burn only when necessary and after obtaining a burn permit. Do not use petroleum-based fuels to start fires  

105c. Asbestos Fibrous material used extensively from the

1930’s to the 1960’s Covered by OPNAVINST 5100.23As a rule, NCF DOES NOT do asbestos work 

105 d. Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB)   Group of toxic chemicals used extensively as insulators and coolers in

electrical equipment, especially transformers       Causes irritation to eyes, skin, and lungs, also suspected of causing

cancer Accumulate in the environment and are absorbed into human fat tissues. Actions Secure the site Notify the activity environmental coordinator and the EPA branch or

the current fiscal year and for the first six months following the close of the fiscal year. Thereafter, BORs are to be submitted for the remaining 18 months of the shipboard accounting cycle only when there

has been a change to the obligation value (block 22 of the BOR). A separate report is generated for each fiscal year (i.e., current, first prior, and second prior). The BOR will be submitted by message to appropriate DFAS activity and to the Type Commander no later than the first working day of the month following the month being reported. The Fleet/Type Commander also provides detailed guidance via naval message regarding BOR reporting requirements, changes and additions to the required information to be reported by the OPTAR Holder.

 

106 .6 Discuss the following:       a. Departmental budget [ref. d, ch. 7]   All OM&N money is allocated in categorized funds (02, 03, etc.),

which are centrally controlled by supply.  The unit supply officer can choose to divide these funds into

departmental budgets. i.e. $40,000 budgeted to A Co for all parts, maintenance, and

consumables. Separate funds cannot be mixed. Administrative money can’t be used to buy parts.

106b. Defense Reutilization Marketing Office (DRMO)

warranted [ref. c, ch.3, para. 3566]   A requisition may be canceled by the requisitioning activity,

supplementary addressee, or the activity designated by the first character of the distribution code. Except in circumstances described in par. 3566 or par. 3567, cancellations will be requested, regardless of the money value of the material, when:

a. the ship has been scheduled for inactivation (see par. 3023 and par. 3551-3);

b. the requirement for the material no longer exists; or c. the ship expects to deploy before the material is expected to be

received, and transshipment is not desired (transshipment of subsistence, fuel,

lubricants, resale clothing, ships store stock, and general use consumable items will not be

requested unless it is definitely determined that such material will not be available in the deployed area).

106.8 Define the following: [ref. c, ch.5, para. 5125]  a. Plant propertyIncludes property used for the purpose of cutting,

abrading, grinding, shaping, forming, joining, testing, heating, treating, or otherwise altering the physical, electrical, or chemical properties of materials components or end items.

107.3 Discuss the following terms: a. Controlled Cryptographic Item (CCI) [ref. a, ch.

5]A secure telecommunications or information

handlingequipment, or associated cryptographic

component, which isunclassified but controlled. Designated items will

bear thedesignation Controlled Cryptographic Item or CCI.

107b. Physical Security [ref. a, ch. 5] Secure and guard facilities whenever they

are leftunattended. Because of the many structural

variations in these facilities (e.g., vans, aircraft, and open vehicles), standardized criteria for securing them cannot reasonably be prescribed.

107c. Practice Dangerous to Security (PDS) [ref.

a, ch. 10]PDSs, while not reportable to the national

level(NSA), are practices, which have the

potential to jeopardize thesecurity of COMSEC material, if allowed to

perpetuate. 

107 [ref. a, Annex L]  Every command that holds classified COMSEC or CCImaterial must prepare and maintain a current, written

emergencyplan for safeguarding such material in the event of an

emergency.For commands located within the continental UnitedStates (CONUS), planning must consider natural disasters (e.g.,fire, flood, tornado, and earthquake) and hostile actions (terrorist attack, rioting, or civil uprising).For commands located outside of CONUS and deployablecommands, planning must consider both natural disasters andhostile actions and must also include Emergency DestructionProcedures (EDPs).  

107e. Data Transfer Device (DTD) [ref. a, Annex

Y] The DTD is an integral component of the

EKMS. It is used tosecurely distribute key generated by the

LMD/KP to consumers. The consumers are either an end cryptographic unit (ECU) or another DTD. The DTD is also able to replace current common fill devices(FDs).

107f. COMSEC Incident [ref. a, ch. 9] The NCIRES serves primarily to ensure that

all reported incidents involving COMSEC material are evaluated so that actions can be taken to minimize their adverse impact on national security

Three types: Personnel Cryptographic Physical

107 .4 Explain the three different types of “Supersessions”; [ref. a, ch. 2] Supersession refers to a time when a particular item of COMSEC material is no longer eligible for use. COMSEC material is superseded in one of three ways:   a. Regular   Supersession based on a specific, predetermined supersession dat for

each edition of material.   b. Irregular Supersession that is not predetermined, but which occurs as a result of

use.   c. Emergency Unplanned change of a supersession, usually as the result of a

compromise.  

107.6 Define the following terms:  a. Essential Elements of Friendly Information

(EEFI) [ref. f, ch. 1 & Appendix O]The EEFI system is actually a code that allows usto notify one another of a security breach that hasoccurred over a circuit. The term used to identify aviolation of this type is BEADWINDOW (example:BEADWINDOW THREE). This indicates to the

transmitting station that he has violated security. Theonly response to a BEADWINDOW is ROGER OUT.

107   .12 Discuss the proper use of the phonetic alphabet,

numerals, and prowords. [ref. b, Appendix C, D & E]  When using the radio, certain words may be

misunderstood because of similarity in sound to other words.

Numbers are important in military messages and must be spoken clearly in telephone and radio conversations. Numeric pronunciations are exaggerated to avoid misunderstanding by the receiving party. Each digit of large numbers is pronounced separately, except in the case of even "hundreds" and "thousands”

 

107.13 Explain Line Of Sight (LOS): [ref. b, ch 1-

108.4 Define the following terms associated with the

M16A3 and the M9.[ref. a, ch. 3]  a. MalfunctionThe failure of a weapon to function satisfactorily,

usually because of excess friction caused by dirt, improper lubrication or carbon buildup Immediate action You must stop and clean the

weapon to correct this problem 

108b. MisfireA complete failure to fire, NOT a delay in firing that may be

caused by a faulty firing mechanism or a faulty element in the propelling charge explosive train.

  Immediate action - The following steps are to be followed:Strike the forward assist to be sure the extractor has engaged

a round.Tap upward on the magazine to ensure it is fully seated.Pull the charging handle to the rear. If round is ejected, released handle, strike forward assist and

attempt to fire. If round is not ejected, check for a round in the chamber, if it is

clear, released handle, strike forward assist and attempt to fire.

If a round is stuck in the chamber it must be removed before attempting to reload/re-chamber

108 c. Stoppage Any interruption in the cycle of functioning caused by

faulty action of the weapon or ammunition.   Immediate action - Without analyzing the cause the following

steps are to be followed: Strike the forward assist to be sure the extractor has engaged a

round. Tap upward on the magazine to ensure it is fully seated. Pull the charging handle to the rear. If round is ejected, released handle, strike forward assist and

attempt to fire. If round is not ejected, check for a round in the chamber, if it is

clear, released handle, strike forward assist and attempt to fire. If a round is stuck in the chamber it must be removed before

attempting to reload/re-chamber.  

108 108.5 State the eight steps of operation in a firing cycle. [ref. b, ch. 3]     Feeding - The feeding action places a round in the receiver just to the rear of the chamber.   Chambering - Takes place as the moving bolt strips the round and forces it into the chamber.   Locking - Holds the bolt in the forward position for a short period of time to prevent the loss of gas

pressure.   Firing - The firing pin actually strikes the primer of the cartridge.   Unlocking - After the round is fired, the bolt unlocks and moves rearward.   Extracting - The process of pulling the empty case back out of the chamber. As the bolt moves

rearward extraction occurs   Ejecting - As the casing is extracted, ejection occurs as it is thrown out of the weapon.   Cocking - The retraction of the firing mechanism against spring pressure so that there will be

sufficient energy to fire the next cartridge.    

108 .6 Explain the differences between semiautomatic and

automatic operation. [ref. a, ch. 3]  Semiautomatic: weapon unlocks, extracts, ejects, cocks

and reloads automatically.  However, the trigger must be pulled each time to fire a

round.  Automatic: weapon unlocks, extracts, ejects, cocks and

reloads automatically.  An automatic weapon will fire as long as the trigger is

pulled and rounds are available to fire

108 .7 Define the following terms: [ref. a]   a. Trajectory [ch. 3]   The flight path the bullet takes from the weapon to the target     b. Breech [app. I] The rear end of the barrel.       c. Bore [ch. 3]   The actual hole in the barrel. It can be rifled or not

108 . Chamber [ch. 3] The enlarged part of the bore at the breech that holds the cartridge   e. Muzzle [app. I]   The front or forward end of the barrel.     f. Muzzle velocity [app. I] The speed at which the bullet travels when it leaves the muzzle of the

barrel.   g. Maximum range [ch. 3] The greatest distance a round will travel   h. Maximum effective range [ch. 3] The greatest distance at which a weapon may be expected to fire

accurately to inflict damage or casualties.

Safety Features

108 The M9 pistol has only ONE safety. However, it has THREE SAFETY FEATURES Ambidextrous Safety - Allows for safe operation of the pistol by right and

left handed users. Lowers the hammer safely without causing an accidental discharge.

  Firing Pin Block - Prevents any motion of the firing pin and is only

overcome by pulling the trigger.   Half Cock Notch - Prevents accidental discharge. If the cocked

hammer should fall forward due to a mechanical failure, this would catch on the sear before the hammer would strike the firing pin.

weapons:    a. M9 Service Pistol [ref. b, ch. 3]Loading:Holding the pistol in the raised pistol position insert a loaded

magazine. With your opposite hand grasp the slide and pull the slide quickly to the rear, this will chamber a round. Place the weapon on safe. The weapon is now loaded

Unloading:Holding the weapon in the raised pistol position, depress the

magazine catch and remove the magazine. Pull the slide back, this should eject the chambered round, and inspect the chamber to insure the weapon is clear. Release the slide allowing the bolt to close. Point the weapon in a safe direction and squeeze the trigger. The weapon is now unloaded

108b. M-16A3 Rifle [ref. a, ch. 3] Loading:With the hammer locked, place the selector on safe.

Insert the magazine If the bolt is open depress the bolt catch to release the bolt and chamber the round. If the bolt is closed pull the charging handle fully to the rear and release. The weapon is now ready loaded.

Unloading:Place the weapon on safe and remove the magazine

by depressing the magazine catch button. Pull the charging handle to the rear ejecting the chambered round. Inspect the chamber and receiver to insure it is clear. Release the charging handle allowing the bolt to close. The weapon is now unloaded

108 d.

108 .11 Describe and discuss the six types of grenades: [ref. a, ch. 12; ref. d, ch. 13]   a. fragmentation   Grenades designed to inflict personnel casualties and damage to light equipment by

projecting high velocity fragments from the detonated grenade case.   The effective casualty-producing radius is about 50 feet (15 meters   b. Illuminating Grenades used mainly to light up the terrain in night operations.   The Mk 1 is the only illuminating grenade currently available.   It provides about 55,000 candlepower for a period of 25 seconds.   Used to illuminate terrain in night time operations   Once pin is pulled, GRENADE MUST BE THROWN!

108c. Chemical  Grenades that are chemical filled munitions designed to be

thrown by the individual or projected from the service rifle using a special adapter.

 ABC-M25A2, riot control hand grenade is the most

commonly used  Filled with a type of tear gas chemical that causes irritation

and watering eyes.  Used for incendiary, screening, signaling, training and riot

control purposes    

108d. IncendiaryAN-M14 incendiary Thermite is used to ignite combustible

materials and to destroy all types of equipment.  This TH grenade is cylindrical in shape and weighs

32 ounces (900 grams).  Contains filler of 26.5 ounces (751 grams) of Thermite

mixture.  It uses an igniting delay fuse that sets fire to the Thermite.  The Thermite burns at a temperature of about

4,300 degrees 

108 e. Smoke Grenades that are cylindrical in shape and weigh about 27 ounces (765 grams).   They can be thrown about 40 yards (37 meters) with an effective casualty radius of

nearly 30 yards (27 meters).     f. Practice/training   Used to train personnel in the care, handling, and use of grenades prior to using

actual service grenades.     These grenades are used for training personnel in the care, handling, and use of

hand grenades before using service grenades.   Practice grenades simulate the functioning of service grenades to provide realism in

training.    

108 .12 Discuss hand grenade safety procedures. [ref. a, ch. 12]   Hand grenade safety precautions must be observed by everyone who

handles and/or throws any and all types, and by other persons who may be within the grenade's danger area.

Anyone within the danger area of a casualty-producing grenade (about 55 yards or 50 meters) must wear a steel helmet.

When the safety pin is pulled, the safety lever or arming device should be held down

firmly until it is thrown   All personnel handling casualty producing grenades must wear

proper protection Never attempt to de-fuse hand grenades Do not remove the safety pin until ready to throw Do not attach grenades to clothing or equipment  

108 13 Discuss the characteristics and purpose of the Claymore mine.

[ref. a, ch. 12]   Placement: This mine should be positioned so as to Afford all

friendly personnel, within 110 yards (100 meters) to the rear and sides of the mine, the opportunity to take adequate cover.

  Arming: After the M18A1 mine is positioned and Properly aimed,

it is armed by first opening the blasting cap assembly and unrolling the wire from either the firing position or the mine.

The wire is secured by wrapping a few turns of wire around a leg of the mine and burying it if possible.

  Safety requirements: Before attaching the firing device directly,

the circuit should be checked for continuity with the test set provided to ensure that the mine will function at the desired time.

108 The firing device has a safety bail with two positions.   In the upper (safe) position, it acts as a block between the firing

handle and the generator. In the lower (fire) position, it allows the generator to be activated.

The instructions provided with the M7 bandoleer should be

carefully followed by anyone using these mines.   Range / Coverage: When detonated, the M18A1 mine will project

steel spheres over a 601 fan-shaped pattern approximately 6 feet (1.8 meters) high and 164 feet (50 meters) wide to an optimum effective range of 55 yards (50 meters).

  These steel fragments are moderately effective up to a range of

approximately 110 yards (100 meters) and can travel up to 275 yards (250 meters).

 

108108.14 Describe the characteristics of the machine gun.a. M240B [ref. f, pp. 4-5]  Description – Air cooled, Belt-Fed, Gas Operated, Fully

AutomaticWeapon, that fires from the open bolt position.Ammunition is fed into the weapon from a 100-round bandoleer

containing a disintegrating metallic split-link belt. The gas from firing one round provides the energy for firing the next round. Thus, the gun functions automatically as long as it is supplied with ammunition and the trigger is held to the rear. As the gun is fired, the belt links separate and are ejected from the side. Empty cases are ejected from the bottom of the gun. A spare barrel is issued with each M240B, and barrels can be changed quickly as the weapon has a fixed head space. However, barrels from different weapons should not be interchanged. The bore of the barrel is chromium plated, reducing barrel wear to a minimum

108 The M240B may be fired from either the bipod or tripod mounts . Weight – 27.1 pounds . Length – 49 inches   Maximum Range – 3725 meters . Muzzle Velocity – 2800 feet per second . Rates of Fire (1) Sustained (a) 100 rounds per minute (b) Bursts of 6 to 9 rounds, with 4 to 5 seconds between bursts (c) Change barrel every 10 minutes   (2) Rapid (a) 200 rounds per minute (b) Bursts of 10 to 13 rounds, with 2 to 3 seconds between bursts (c) Change barrel every 2 minutes   (3) Cyclic (a) 650 to 950 rounds per minute (b) Continuous fire (c) Change barrel every minute

108.32 Describe the use and purpose of the range card as it

relates to each weaponsystem. [ref. i, pp. 4-17 thru 4-22]  Cards are the basis for the fire plan at the company

level. Each crew served weapon will have one. –All supporting fires, security sectors and defensive

coordination are planned using the machine gun’s fire as the base from which to build.

Two cards are prepared, one for the gun and the other goes to higher HQ.

Cards should be passed on to relieving units.Patrols can use your card to locate FPL’s and identify dead

space. Cards must be neat and prepared using a universal format

10833 Discuss the integration of the weapons systems

into an overall defensive fireplan. [ref. i, pp. 4-1 thru 4-27] Set your crew served weapons where they will be

utilized properly. M-2 is best used against vehicles, so it’s field of fire should be towards a road. The 240b is best utilized for grazing fire, use where a ground attack is expected. The Mark 19 is an indirect fire weapon, utilize where you may need to fire over obstacles to attack the enemy, or where you don’t have direct line of sight. Interlock fields of fire whenever possible.

108108.35 Explain the various class of fire: [ref. e, pp. 3-30, 3-

31]  a. Grazing Not less than 1m above and no higher

than 68 inches above the ground. Can exist for 700m over level or evenly sloping ground

   b. Plunging Fire that strikes the ground from above at

a considerable level. Beaten zone is considered the danger space

   c. Overhead Fire delivered over the heads of troops. Usually plunging

fire Overhead

108d. Fixed for targets requiring only one aiming point. Continuous as

long as target remains in the zone of fire. e. TraversingDelivered against targets to wide to cover the traversing

hand wheel. Also used on targets moving so rapidly across the gunner’s front they cannot maintain effective fire using the traversing hand wheel. Cannot be fired from bipod or vehicles.

  f. SearchingDistributed in depth by changing the elevation of the gun.

Used against deep targets, firing a burst each time elevation changes.

108 g. Combined searching and traversing Distributed in width & depth by changing the elevation and horizontal direction of

the gun.   h. Swinging traverse   Delivered against targets to wide to cover the traversing hand wheel. Also used on

targets moving so rapidly across the gunner’s front they cannot maintain effective fire using the traversing hand wheel. Cannot be fired from bipod or vehicles

          i. Free   Delivered from the tripod mount against targets requiring rapid and major changes

in direction and elevation. Can also be used from a vehicle mount when the target cannot be covered adequately by aiming points. Cannot be fired from bipod mount

108.36 Discuss the use and purpose of the

following Night Observation Devices (NOD): a. AN/PVS-7C (night goggles) [ref. f] Use when you are on night operations or at a

109c. An improved two-man fighting position   Essentially two, one-person positions. Close proximity to buddy provides security.Allows one to rest while other sleeps.Since the position is longer than a one-person

position, it provides less protection from tanks, bombing, strafing and shelling.

 

1093 explain the characteristics of the following;   a. Camouflage [ref a. ch. 7] Take advantage of all available natural concealment.Camouflage by altering the form, shadow, texture,

and color of objects.Camouflage against both ground and air observation.Camouflage is constant and continuous

109b. Cover [ref. b. ch. 4]  Protection from enemy fireA hill is natural cover.A parapet is artificial cover        c. Concealment [ref b. ch. 4]Protection from observationBushes, grass, and shadows are natural concealment.Burlap, tents, or nets are artificial concealment  

109109.4 State what action should be taken if you are

caught in the light of a ground flareand overhead flare. [ref. a, ch. 4] Overhead FlareWhen an overhead flare goes off, immediately seek

cover as low as possible and do not move until the light burns out.

Ground FlareMove quickly and quietly out of the light 

109.5 Discuss the military aspects of terrain as it applies

to a defensive force using theacronym KOCOA. [ref. b, ch. 4] K- Key Terrain FeaturesAny area that provides a marked advantage over the

enemy. Terrain that provides superior observation and fields

of fire.Obstacles that could prevent enemy movement, such

as possession of roads, bridges, and rivers.Terrain needed for future operations, such as an

airfield. 

109O- Observation and Fields of Fire Observation is key to: Deliver effective fire on enemy.Control troop maneuvers.Prevent surprise by enemy. 

109C- Cover and ConcealmentApply principals previously discussed to

guard position. O- ObstaclesObstructions used to stop or disrupt enemy

movement.Natural obstacles are rivers, mountains,

lakes, etc.Artificial obstacles include mine fields,

barbed wire, trenches, etc

109A- Avenues of ApproachSuitable route of movement to an objective.Often the weak spots in a defense. Must be effectively covered with weapons fire

and barricades.May be used by the defending force to launch

a counterattack. 

109 .6 Discuss the use and care of the following: [ref. a, ch. 5]   a. Topographic map   Portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable from as well as the

horizontal positions of the features represented. Vertical positions, or relief, are normally represented by contours.   Care of Topographic Maps   Fold the map properly Carry in a waterproof packet Use light lines when marking

109b. Lensatic compass With a Compass Rose (picture of compass card)Place map of a flat surface.Place an open Lensatic compass on the map’s

compass rose with the sighting wire lying directly over the map’s magnetic north line.

Turn the map and compass together until the north arrow of the compass is aligned with the index line of the compass.

The map is now oriented 

1097 State the five basic colors used and how they

are applied to a military map.[ref. a, ch. 5] Black: man-made features and cultural areas.Blue: water features such as lakes and rivers.Green: vegetation.Brown: all relief features such as contour lines.Red: main roads, built up areas and special

features, enemy positions.

109.8 Describe the Military Grid System. [ref. a, ch. 5] Provides a uniform system for referencing and

making measurements.Grids are two sets of equally spaced, parallel,

straight lines intersecting at right angles, forming a series of squares.

Each grid line is a unit of measure, permits linear and angular measurement.

Grid is drawn over a geographic projection. 

109 .9 Explain resection and intersection. [ref. a, ch. 5]   RESECTION   1. Orient the map. (See TASK: PERFORM BASIC MAP READING (1-47).) 2. Locate the two known points on the ground and plot them on the map. NOTE: The points must be located between 30o and 150o apart. 3. Shoot a magnetic azimuth to the first known point using the compass-to-cheek

technique. (See TASK: NAVIGATE WITH A MAP AND COMPASS (1-49).) 4. Convert the magnetic azimuth to a grid azimuth. (See TASK: CONVERT

AZIMUTHS (1-54).) NOTES: An azimuth is an angle measured in a clockwise direction from a

predetermined base line. The reference point or base line we are referring to is north. There are three

base lines; true north, magnetic north, and grid north (Figure 1). The most

commonly used are magnetic and grid north.

109INTERSECTION  1. Orient the map. 2. Locate and plot your position on the map.3. Shoot a magnetic azimuth from your location to the

unknown point, using the compass-to-cheekTechnique4. Convert the magnetic azimuth to a grid azimuth. 5. Using your protractor, plot this grid azimuth on the map

from your plotted location.6. After moving to the second known location, repeat steps

3, 4, and 5. - The distant object is located where the two lines intersect

(Figure 1).  

109 State the twelve patrol planning and preparation steps. [ref. a, ch. 4]     Study the mission. Plan use of time. Study the terrain and situation. Organize the patrol. Select personnel, weapons, and equipment. Issue the warning order. Coordinate. Make reconnaissance. Complete detailed plans. Issue patrol order. Supervise, inspect, rehearse, and re-inspect. Execute the mission  

109 Discuss the five-paragraph order. [ref. a, ch. 11]   a. Situation   Situation: divided into three sections: Enemy Forces Size, location, capabilities, and recent activity. Friendly Forces Mission of higher, supporting and adjacent units. Identify who is providing security. Attachments Types and size of attachments. Time they attach Mission  

109b. Mission States mission in clear and concise

statements.Mission is unit specific- what we are to

accomplish

109c. Execution  Assigns definite tasks to each element of the command, organic

or attached, that contributes to carrying out the whole mission.No restrictions are set on the number of paragraphs, although

information is typically divided into three areas:Concept of operationsTasks Coordinating instructions Concept of operations- brief summary of the tactical plan the

unit is to execute.Tasks, or missions, for each unit, to include the reserve if

applicable If this is a squad leader’s SMEAC, each fire team would be

tasked in this section.Coordinating instructions

109d. Admin & Logistics Beans, bullets, bad guys.  e. Command and Signal  Chain of command and communications information given

in two parts:Communications instructions- typically an annex of

standard reports, but also includes passwords and countersigns, radio call signals, frequencies, etc.

Chain of command- gives precedence of command and location of command posts.

 

109 13 Define and discuss the following reports: [ref. b, ch. 2]   a. SALUTE     SALUTE (Initial SPOT report) Initial report of enemy activity. Used when enemy is spotted but not engaged or when a fire fight

first breaks out. Size of the enemy unit. Activity of the enemy Location of the enemy unit. Uniform worn by the enemy. Time of each activity noted. Equipment used or carried by the enemy.  

109b. SPOT Detailed report of an enemy engagement.Always follow a SALUTE up with a SPOT

report after engagement has ended. Report includes:All information contained in a SALUTE.Friendly and enemy KIA or WIA.POWs and enemy equipment captured

109Describe the purpose of the following: [ref. a, ch. 4]  a. Security patrol Provide physical security  b. Reconnaissance patrolDefensive technique used to:Detect enemy movement toward the unit’s position.Locate or observe an enemy position.Discover enemy avenues of approach.

109Discuss the acronym SAFE as it applies to

establishing a defense.[ref. b, ch. 4; ref. g. 3-17] Applies these to the unit’s mission and situation to

develop priorities. In general, priorities follow the acronym SAFE

SecurityAutomatic and crew-served weapons (Setup)Fields of fire (Clear)Emplacements, dig fighting positions

109.16 What are the three echelons of a defense. [ref. b, ch.

4]_   Forward Defense Area (FDA)Area where frontline defensive positions are dug.Security AreaArea in front of FDA.Security patrols roam this area.Listening/observation posts are placed here.Reserve AreaArea behind FDA that reserve forces occupy. 

109 109.17 Define and discuss the following:     a. Call for fire for indirect weapon support [ref. a, ch.14]   Request for indirect fire, as in mortars or artillery support, is

termed “Call for Fire.” Observer requesting support calls into FDC, Fire Direction Control. FDC plots the request on a firing board and transposes the

information into firing data. FDC announces this data to the mortar crew as fire commands   There are six elements of a call for fire: Observer identification Warning order Target location Target description Method of engagement Method of fire and control

109b. Close Air Support [ref. d app. B] Air action by fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft

against hostile targetsthat are in close proximity to friendly forces and which require detailed integration of each

air mission with the fire and movement of those forces. Also called CAS.

 

109 c. Fire commands for direct weapon support utilizing the acronym ADDRAC [ref. a, ch. 3] Fire Commands Instructions used to direct and control the fire of a squad. Used when a squad leader decides to fire on a target. Use the acronym ADDRAC. Alert: alert the unit that a command is coming. Direction: indicate the target’s location. Description: give a very brief description of the target. Range: to the target to be engaged. Assignment: tell who is to fire on the target. Control: (fire control) give the signal to open fire.      

10918 Discuss the elements of a fire plan  Area assigned to an individual, unit, or crew-

served weapon to defend.Pie-shaped section with edges called lateral

limits.Lateral limits extend from the firing position to

an easily identifiable terrain feature.Two stakes are placed near the firing position to

indicate lateral limits during darkness.Sectors of fire interlock to ensure mutual support

by adjacent units.

109Fire plan sketch has three combat positions: Primary Firing Position Backbone of the defense,

receives the full force of the enemy’s attack.Alternate Firing Position Fall back position used if the primary position

is in danger of being over run. Should have same sector of fire as the primary.Supplementary Firing PositionSector of fire covers the flank or rear.

10919 Discuss sectors of fire and fire discipline. [ref.

b, ch. 4] Sectors of FireArea assigned to an individual, unit, or crew-

served weapon to defend.Pie-shaped section with edges called lateral limits.Lateral limits extend from the firing position to an

easily identifiable terrain feature.Two stakes are placed near the firing position to

indicate lateral limits during darkness.Sectors of fire interlock to ensure mutual support

by adjacent units.

109Fire DisciplineThe ability to efficiently apply fire on a target.Dependent on the ability of the leader and the

discipline and control of the crew. Includes:The ability to select and designate targets.Preserve element of surprise by opening fire

at the desired moment only.Regulate the rate of fire.Shift from one target to another.Adjust and cease fire

109 20 Discuss an individual’s responsibilities under each article of the code of conduct. [ref. c, ch. 4]   There are six articles of the Code .   Article I: I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am

prepared to give my life in their defense.   Article II: I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender the

members of my command while they still have the means to resist.   Article III: If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to

escape and aid others to escape.   Article IV: If I become a Prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no

information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and will back them up in every way.

  Article V: When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give my name, rank,

service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further question to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its Allies or harmful to their cause.

Article VI: I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America  

109.21 Describe the procedures for handling

detainees/Enemy Prisoner of War (EPW).[ref. a, ch. 1]Remember the 5 S’s in handling EPWsSearch: for weapons and documents.Secure: ensure escape is impossibleSilence: do not allow EPWs to talk to each other.Segregate: into groups by rank, gender, and

status (deserter, civilian, EPW, etc.).Speed: timely delivery of information

obtained from EPWs is essential

109 .22 Describe force protection conditions and threat levels. [ref. h, ch 2]     a. THREATCON NORMAL exists when a general threat of possible terrorist activity exists but warrants only a routine security posture.   THREATCON ALPHA applies when there is a general threat of possible terrorist activity against personnel and facilities, the nature and extent of which are unpredictable, and circumstances do not justify full implementation of THREATCON BRAVO measures. However, it may be necessary to implement certain measures from higher THREATCONs either resulting from intelligence received or as a deterrent. The measures in this THREATCON must be capable of being maintained indefinitely

109c. THREATCON BRAVO applies whenan increased and more predictable threat ofterrorist activity exists. The measures in thisTHREATCON must be capable of beingmaintained for weeks without causing unduehardship, affecting operational capability,

andaggravating relations with local authorities

109THREATCON CHARLIE applies when an

incident occurs or intelligence is received indicating that some form of terrorist action against personnel and facilities is imminent. Implementation of measures in this

THREATCON for more than a short period probably will create hardship and affect the peacetime activities of the unit and personnel

 

109THREATCON DELTA applies in theimmediate area where a terrorist attack hasoccurred or when intelligence has been

receivedthat terrorist action against a specific

locationor person is likely. Normally, this

THREATCONis declared as a localized condition. 

109.23 Discuss employment of rules of

engagement [ref. h, ch 7]  Area specific. Usually explained as do not

utilize deadly force unless you, friendly forces or military equipment are in imminent danger.

Rules of engagement should be a part of the brief prior to every operation.

 

109109.24 Describe circumstances when deadly force would

normally be authorized. [ref. h, ch 7]  Deadly force is only used as a last resort!Authorized under the following conditions:Self defense or defense of others when lesser means will

not workDefense of property vital to national security.Defense of property dangerous to others (weapons,

ammunition, etc.).To prevent the escape of a prisoner likely to cause death or

serious bodily injury to another.  

109 25 State the eleven general orders of a sentry. [ref. c, ch. 6]   1. To take charge of this post and all government property in view. To walk my post in a military manner, keeping always on the alert and observing

everything that takes place within sight or hearing. To report all violations of orders I am instructed to enforce. To repeat all calls from posts more distant from the guardhouse than my own To quit my post only when properly relieved To receive, obey and pass on to the sentry who relieves me all orders from the commanding officer, officer of the day, and officers and noncommissioned

officers of the guard only. To talk to no one except in the line of duty. To give the alarm in case of fire or disorder. To call the corporal of the guard in any case not covered by instructions. To salute all officers and all colors and standards not cased. To be especially watchful at night, and during the time for challenging, to

challenge all persons on or near my post and to allow no one to pass without proper authority.  

109 .26 Describe the three classes of wire entanglement, and how they are used: [ref. a, ch. 8]       a. Protective   Prevents close surprise attacks. Placed around each fighting position at hand grenade range (131-328 feet)

b. Tactical   Tactical Wire Used to hamper enemy aggression. Placed along the front of the defensive line Should be used to channel enemy attackers into kill zones designated by fighting positions.   c. Supplementary Placed to conceal the exact line of the tactical wire.

10927 State the purpose of the following: [ref. a,

ch. 8] a. Triple-standard concertina fence Consists of two lines of concertina serving as

the base, with a third resting on top. On average, a platoon can place a 984 foot

section in an hour.  

109. Double-apron fence Two types:4 and 2 pace fence, which is more common

and more effective, and 6 and 3 pace fence.A 984 foot section usually requires 1½ hours

for a platoon to complete.  

109c. Low wire entanglement Low wire entanglement (tanglefoot)A 4 and 2 pace double apron fence

constructed with medium pickets instead of long pickets in the fence center line.

Used when concealment of the barrier is essential

 

109.28 Discuss the following actions when isolated in an

enemy area: [ref. a, ch. 6] a. Evasion Know the enemy’s location! Look for signs of group movement, such as crushed

grass,cigarette butts, footprints, broken branches, etc.Look for workers in a field, indicates no immediate threat.Absence of children in a village, indicative of pending

action.Absence of young men in a village, may mean the village is under enemy control

109b. Survival Size up the situationUndue haste makes wasteRemember where you areVanquish fear and panicImproviseValue livingAct like the nativesLearn the basics skills 

109c. Escape If you are captured, try and escape as soon as

possible. Your physical condition will be at its best.

Fall back on the Code of Conduct

109109.29 Discuss the following fire team

formations: [ref. a, ch. 4]  a. Column Used when speed and control are governing

factors. Favorable for fire and maneuver to either flank.Vulnerable to fire from the front because its

own fire in that direction is limited.

109b. Wedge  Used when the enemy contact is possible,

but not certain.Provides all around protection, flexibility and

is easy to control.   

109c. Skirmishers (right or left)  Used when assaulting a known enemy

position.Because the fire teams are in line, it provides

maximum fire power to the front. Hard formation to control

109d. Echelon (right or left)  Used primarily to protect an exposed flank. Permits heavy firepower to the front and the

direction of the echelon. Hard formation to control and slow

moving

109 .30 Discuss immediate actions for enemy contact during the following:     a. Convoy [ref. d, ch. 3]     Passengers return fire immediately. Driver does not stop in the kill zone but drives through. Once clear of the killing zone, vehicle halts and occupants dismount to take

offensive action. Vehicles in the rear approaching kill zone halt, debark, and take immediate

action.   If a vehicle is disabled in the kill zone: Passengers in HARDENED vehicles return fire from inside the protective vehicle. Passengers in SOFT vehicles immediately dismount, take cover, and return fire. If no cover is available, unit commander leads them in an immediate frontal

assault.  

109b. Patrol [ref. b, ch. 5]  Near Ambush: Return fire and assault through.Withdrawal from a near ambush is unlikely, so it is critical

to return fire immediately and drive through.Enemy may not expect a quick and decisive response.

 Far Ambush: Take cover and withdraw orderly.Immediately drop and return fire.Unit commander organizes withdrawal with constant cover

fire. 

10931 Discuss challenge and password. [ref. a, ch. 11]  Sentry’s dutiesAs someone approaches, sentry calls, “Halt! Who goes there?”Reply with name and company: “CE1 Spark, B Co.”Sentry: “Advance and be recognized.”Sentry keeps person distant enough to effectively cover him,

but close enough to recognize him.Person passes if recognized. If not recognized, sentry offers countersigns.Always disguise countersigns in a sentence and speak in a low

voice.Person has been successfully challenged and would be allowed

to pass.

10932 Describe the procedures to establish a LZ.

[ref. b, ch. 3]  Area should be designated during planning

process. Utilize maps and recon to establish suitable area. This area should be communicated to Higher Adjacent Support before stepping off.

 

109.33 What information is contained in a nine line

Medical evacuation request?[ref. d. app B ]LOCATIONFREQUENCE, CALL SIGNPRECEDENCESPECIAL EQUIPMENTNUMBER OF PATIENTS BY TYPESECURITY OF PICKUP SITEMETHOD OF MARKING SITEPATIENTS NATIONALITYNBC CONTAMINATION 

10934 Discuss the purpose of combat hand and

arm signals in the field. [ref. a, ch. 11] Used when in close contact with enemy or

when voice commands can’t be heard or understood.

109109.35 Describe what is on the Convoy Commander’s

checklist. [ref. d, app. A]  Mission RequirementsReconnaissanceRoute SelectionLiaison and CoordinateConvoy OrganizationMovement Plan Security EnrouteService SupportThe Convoy Commander is responsible for all elements of

the convoy. Routes, times, equipment, personnel, manifests and contingency plans.

109.36 Explain how convoy road routes are

classified. [ref. d, app. D] Green: relatively safe from hostile activityYellow: subject to limited activityRed: hostile activity is imminentBlack: Don’t use. Lots of bad guys

109 37 What factors determine the speed at which a convoy will move? [ref. d, ch. 4]     The speed of the slowest vehicle. Weather Time of day   30 mph on open road   100 ft interval between vehicles Normal speed at the lead of the column in a combat situation is 5 to 10 miles per hour (mph) below

posted speed limits with a maximum speed that allows for regaining lost distances. The rate of speed is determined by—

  Physical condition and level of training of the vehicle operators.   Types and mechanical condition of the convoy vehicles.   Degree of urgency the move requires.   Condition of the road net (dust, mud, snow, and ice).   Physical characteristics of the roadway along the route (grades, sharp turns, congestion). Weather conditions

109.38 Discuss the effectiveness and employment of

early warning devices andpyrotechnics. [ref. a, pp. 12-11 thru 12-13] The utilization of flares will help with locating

attacking forces. Trip flares and claymores will alert defending forces to a possible attack.

Booby traps may also be utilized as an early warning device.

110ABFCThe Navy Advanced Base Functional Component (ABFC)

System is a method of planning, procuring, assembling, and shipping material and personnel needed to satisfy facility support requirements

Part 1, Component Site Plans, Component is defined as a grouping of personnel and

material that has a specific function or mission at an advanced base.

Example: NMCB is a componentAssembly Drawings Lists line-item requirements by National Stock Number

(NSN) for each assemblyExample: Tent 16 X 32 

110Maritime Propositioning Force (MPF) The MPF, one component of Marine Corps

Operating Forces, is tailor-made to respond independently, or in conjunction with other forces, to a variety of regional crises. The threat faced today is uncertainty. Regional crises can arise in any geographical location and, as history suggests, can arise on short notice. Quick and credible response is

required to deter an escalation in hostilities and, if deterrence fails, to fight and win decisively. The MPF provides this capability.

110Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) Urban environments pose enormous difficulties for

planning and conducting military operations. The heightened risk of collateral damage during operations in urban environments partially offsets U.S. technological superiority and provides adversaries

with expanded opportunities to exploit U.S. military doctrine. Consequently, urban combat options available to planners and leaders are generally more restrictive. International law and self-imposed political constraints also severely restrict

maneuver options. 

110 Amphibious     The construction support of amphibious assault includes the

assembly, maintenance. and operation of various ship-to-shore equipment

for transferring men, equipment. and supplies to and over the beach. Pontoon units or other components

are assembled for causeway operations. llghlerage and transfer barge operations. and warping tug operations. The support provided includes beach salvage. installation of buoyant and bottom-laid ship-to-shore bulk fuel systemsand limited construction on the beach. The ConstructIon ashore includes the preparation of beach exits, road

grading, camp site improvement. Chemical. Biological and Radiological (CBR) recovery operations. and temporary repairs to piers and other harbor or waterfront lacilitles.

 

110110.9 Discuss the following Joint Forward Operating

Base (JFOB) site selection and layout Considerations. [ref h, ch 5]

   a. General  JFOB site selection and design layout are controlled

by competing demands and considerations, such as mission concerns, political constraints, host nation (HN)

requirements and Service regulations. Additionally, force protection (FP) measures should be consciously integrated into the planning, design, and construction of JFOBs.

110Layered Defense. Design a layout that incorporates

the concept of a layered defense in depth. Incorporate perimeter security devices (barriers, ECPs,

lighting, intrusion detection and surveillance systems (IDS), access control equipment, etc.).

JFOB Design. Design the JFOB perimeter to do the following:

Provide an adequate blast standoff distance for a VBIED.

Limit or, preferably, block all sightlines from potential vantage points, including direct line-of-sight, standoff or ballistic weapons.

110Maximize the threat ingress/egress time across

the exterior site.Enhance the possibility of visual observation of

threat and threat interdiction by security personnel.

Perimeter Barriers. Provide defense against attack from standoff weapons (antitank weapons, mortars, etc.) by selecting perimeter barriers that block

sightlines: obstruction screens or non-critical structures, hedges, trees and shrubs.

110c. Critical Assets Asset Location. Locate critical assets in the

interior of JFOBs, away from the perimeter.Visual Surveillance. Deny aggressors a clear

line-of-sight to critical assets from off-site; protect the asset against visual surveillance by locating the protected asset out of view of vantage points, such as adjacent high terrain or structures outside the JFOB boundary

110Vehicle Parking. Locate parking to obtain

required standoff distance from critical assets/high value targets to minimize blast effects from potential

VBIEDs.Exterior Signage. Minimize exterior signage

or other indications of critical asset locations

110d. Utilities Utility Access. Provide secure access to

power/heat plants, gas mains, water supplies, and electrical service. Where possible, provide underground,

concealed, and protected utilities.Utility Support. Provide redundant utility

systems (particularly electrical services) to support site security, personnel safety, and rescue functions

110e. Occupied Structures.Site. Locate high occupancy structures in the interior

of the JFOB, awayfrom the perimeter.Personnel. Avoid placing large numbers of personnel in

one structure.Open Space. Maximize the distance between the

perimeter fence andoccupied structures, providing as much open space as

possible inside the fence along the JFOB perimeter.Structural Hardening. Incorporate structural hardening

techniques (tentage, temporary and permanent buildings, living areas, primary gathering facilities) in design and construction

110f. Commercial/Service Access Vehicle Delivery. Locate commercial and

service vehicle delivery loading/off-load areas off-site, or designate an entry to the JFOB and offload/loading area that is distant from critical assets/high-risk resources and high-occupancy structures

 

110 .10 Explain the fundamentals of a tent camp layout in relation to the

following: [ref. f, ch. 10]       a. Latrines from messing facilities   must be 100 yards from food service areas. The site should be reasonably

near the user, but 50 feet from sleeping areas.         b. Latrines from water supplies must be 100 yards from the nearest natural water source.  

110 c. Garbage pits from water supplies   The solid or semisolid wet and dry wastes resulting from the

preparation, cooking, and serving of food. Garbage has to be removed from the mess area before it causes bad odors or attracts rats and flies

  30 yards away from water supplies.         d. Garbage pits from messing facilities   The common method of garbage disposal is burial in a garbage pit. A garbage pit should be a 4-foot square pit that is 4 feet deep. It will service 100 people for 1 day. A garbage pit must be at least 100 yards away from water supplies and 30

yards from messing facilities

110.11 Discuss the purpose of leach fields. [ref.

d, ch. 10] An important part of a septic tank individual

sewage disposal system.Used to dispose sewage and gray water into

the ground. Constructed of 4- to 6-inch perforated pipe.Laid out in a herringbone pattern or with

the laterals at right angles to the main distribution pipe

110 .12 Discuss the following as it pertains to camp

maintenance: [ref. e, ch. 6]      a. Trouble desk  The purpose of the camp maintenance desk is to receive all

customer service calls. The trouble desk coordinates the maintenance calls and

tasks with the people who provide the maintenance service.The trouble desk attendant enters all customer trouble

calls into the trouble desk log and fills out Emergency Service Authorization (ESA) forms.

 

110b. Three types of work Emergency/Service WorkAll work requiring immediate action or any minor

work requiring less than 16 man-hours and $100 in material costs is classified as emergency/service work.

Specific Job OrdersOrders are written to cover work for which individual

job costs are desiredSpecific job orders take more than 16 man-hours to

complete. Standing Job OrdersStanding Job Orders are large repetitive jobs that

require over 40 man- hours to complete

110 110.13 Discuss the following: [ref. c]   a. Potable water [ch. 2]   Water that does not contain pollution, contamination, or infective agents

and is considered satisfactory for drinking.         b. Chlorination [ch. 7]   Chlorination is the most common method of disinfecting potable water.   Water from systems where sanitary, physical, operating defects, or other

special hazards are known to exist must be chlorinated to specified bacterial levels. residual of at least 2.0 ppm

110c. Super chlorination [ch. 2] Super-Chlorination is the application of

chlorine in dosages far in excess of the chlorine demand

for disinfecting. Superchlorination is accomplished by chlorinating the water in a

container or distribution system to at least 100 parts per million (ppm)

110 14 Discuss the three parts of the Advanced Base Functional Component

(ABFC) system and explain their relationships. [ref. e, ch. 4]   The Navy Advanced Base Functional Component (ABFC) System is a method

of planning, procuring, assembling, and shipping material and personnel needed to satisfy facility support requirements

Part 1, Component Site Plans, Component is defined as a grouping of personnel and material that has a

specific function or mission at an advanced base. Example: NMCB is a component Part 2, Facility Drawings Lists and describes by assembly number the assembly requirement for each

[ref. l, ch. 2] Nerve agents Blister agents V Agents   Use: Quick-action casualty agent Symptoms of Nerve AgentsSymptoms of Nerve Agents Runny Nose Tightness of chest with difficulty in breathing Contraction of pupils Nausea, cramps, headache, coma and convulsions   Symptoms can take place in 30 seconds when the dose is

sufficiently heavy  

111 Blister Agents Types: Mustards Phosgene Lewisite   Use: Delayed-action casualty agent   Symptoms of Blister AgentsSymptoms of Blister Agents Eyes: Redness and inflammation Watery   Skin: Skin starts to turn red after several hours Blisters appear on the skin Throbbing pain and swelling may be observed

111Blood AgentsTypes:Hydrogen CyanideCyanogen ChlorideArsine  Use: Quick-Action casualty agent  Symptoms of blood agents.  Range from convulsions to coma Interfere with the ability of oxygen-carrying cells to

transfer oxygen to other body tissuesIrritating effect on nasal passages

111 Choking Agents Types: Phosgene CG Diphosgene DP Chlorine CL   Use: Delayed-action casualty agent Symptoms Low Concentrations Produce an action on the respiratory system that results in the

accumulation of fluid on the lungs   Higher Concentrations Produce death for the same reason, but the upper respiratory tract may be involved as well    

111 Vomiting Agents   Symptoms of Vomiting Agents Pepper like burning of the eyes, nose, throat, and air passages Repeated coughing and sneezing Continue after donning a mask Become sick to the point of vomiting Exposed to even more hazardous agent when the mask is removed

for vomiting   Tear Agents Symptoms Act primarily on the eyes, causing intense pain and a considerable

flow of tears High concentrations affect the upper respiratory tract and lungs

and cause nausea and vomiting

111 .5 Describe the following types of nuclear explosions: [ref. b, ch.

10]   a. Air burst   Fire ball does not touch the earth All materials in fireball vaporized Maximize blast and thermal effect over large area     b. Surface burst   Fireball touches earth Surface material vaporized and lifted in air Produces large amounts of fallout Range of blast less than air burst

111. Underwater burstPractically all thermal radiation absorbedLarge base serge is formed which billows up

several hundred feet   d. Subsurface burst   A blast that occurs underground. 

111.6 Describe the following effects of nuclear

explosions: [ref. b, ch. 10] a. Blast Primary blast injuries result from the direct

action of the air shock wave on the human body.

Secondary blast injuries are caused mainly by collapsing buildings and by timber and other debris flung about by the blast

111b. Burns Primary burns are a direct result of the

thermal radiation from the bomb.Secondary burns are the result of fires

caused by the explosion.Flash blindness

111 c. Nuclear radiation   Alpha particles: Must be taken into the body through ingestion or cuts to be

injurious. Beta particles: Enter through the skin or ingestion, carried in contaminated

dust, dirt, or bomb residue Gamma Rays: Pure energy and not easily stopped, can penetrate every region

of the body. Gamma rays strike atoms in the body cause ionization of these atoms, which

may result in any number of possible chemical reactions that damage the cells of the body. Neutrons: Have the greatest penetrating power of the nuclear radiation

hazards, create hazards to personnel when the neutron is captured in atoms of various elements

in the body, atmosphere, water, or soil. The captured elements become radioactive and release gamma rays and beta

particles.  

111d. Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) phenomenon  An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) will be produced by high-

altitude bursts, airbursts, and surface bursts. The initial nuclear ionizing radiation ionizes the atmosphere around the point of detonation. This action produces an EMP, which will contain frequency components in the range from a few to several hundred kilocycles per second. The EMP has magnetic and electric field components that exist for only a fraction of a second. The magnetic field component is significant inside the radius of the ionized atmosphere. It can induce large currents in cables and long-lead wires. These large transient currents can burn out electronic and electrical equipment. The electric field

component can also produce transient signal overloads and spurious signals on communication nets and in computer-driven systems

supported unit operate the PDS under the supervision of the Chemical, Biological, and

Radiological Defense Officer or the Disaster Preparedness Operations and Training Specialist

111 .18 Discuss the procedure for setting up a detailed equipment

decontamination line. [ref. l, ch. 3]     The contaminated unit, by company, moves to a predecon staging

area approximately 250 to 500 meters downwind of the thorough decon site. Here, the contaminated unit conducts the required predecon actions that are designed to prepare the unit for the

thorough decon operations. Predecon actions include the following:

1. Segregate contaminated vehicles fromuncontaminated vehicles, if possible.

2. Allow vehicle crews to dismount and prevent further transfer/spread of contamination.

3. Prepare vehicles for detailed equipment decon. 4. Move contaminated vehicles and troops to the detailed troop

and equipment decon lines.

111 21 Explain the three types of CBR surveys and their uses. [ref. h, ch. 5]         Point Survey The point surveillance mission is conducted for a specific period of time, oriented to

key terrain. It is typically conducted to ensure that time sensitive or critical operations can be

conducted without unwarned encounters with chemical agent clouds or transfer hazards resulting from munitions event

Route Survey Routes and specific points may be surveyed if that information is usually found

during recon operations If conducted, the survey team goes to a specific point or points along a route and

tests for the presence of liquid contamination with M8 or M9 detector paper. Area Survey The goal of an area surveillance mission is to provide a tailored detection capability

in those tactical situations where it is impractical to employ remote point samplers, such as M8A1 system.

 

111111.22 Describe what type of standard

decontamination agent reacts violently with liquid

mustard agent? [ref. i, app. D] Super-tropical bleach: STB reacts violently by

igniting spontaneously upon contact with liquid mustard agent. STB should not be inhaled or come in contact with the skin. STB gives off toxic vapors upon contact with G agents.

 

111Explain and discuss the following dosimetry

equipment: [ref. h, ch. 4] a. IM 143 This is the standard tactical dosimeter in use today.It is a direct reading instrument capable of detecting
