GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTI ONS

Magnetic: Demagnetize your body and tool bag; Don't disturb ordnance; don't move any ferrous objects neat the ordnance; don't turn power lines on or off; keep compasses, radios etc. away; maintain maximum distance from magnetic sensors; move metallic material slowly (bolts, screws, etc.) to lower eddy currents. 2. Acoustic/Seismic: Keep vehicles away; don't wear loose, rattling, noise producing equipment; move with slow deliberate moves; permit no metal to metal contact with ordnance (tape all tools); use rubber cushioning between tools and charges; refrain from coughing, clearing throat; use full acoustic precautions within 30 feet by one second of noise and three seconds of silence; when needed, touch ordnance, but don't rub or slide hands on it. 3. Infrared: Don't pass any people, vehicles or heat producing objects in front of sensors. 4. Movement: If item must be moved, do it remotely; remove components remotely unless specifically authorized in pub. Clear debris from obstructed UXO only enough to permit required actions; if clearance will disturb the ordnance, perform clearance remotely. If it can move, secure ordnance before working on it; consider ordnance tampered with as unknown; don't remove bursters unless specifically directed to by pub; always BIP or burn in place if possible; don't rely on color coding; perform initial movement remotely for landmines. 5. High Explosive: Avoid heat, shock and friction in vicinity of ordnance. 6. Fragmentation: Utilize all available frontal and overhead protection. Wear personal protective clothing. 7. Jet: Avoid forward nose and in front of the ordnance; the jet from HEAT rounds travel considerable distances. 8. Lucky: Assume all HEAT rounds have lucky (piezoelectric crystals); don't touch or move except by remote means. 9. Chemical: Evacuate initial exclusion area of 450M radius and 2000M downwind; approach from upwind; wear mask and appropriate personal protective clothing. 10. White Phosphorous (WP): Wear full length clothing; don't approach smoking rounds unless necessary; submerge smoking rounds in water, wet sand, mud; wear gloves, face shield and mask. 11. Proximity (VT): Observe wait times (WT) to allow batteries 12. and capacitors to discharge; eliminate any radio frequency (RF) sources; observe EMR precautions; avoid the forward quarter and in front of ordnance. 1.

13. Wait Time (WT): Observe the recommended WT from the specific pub; for unknown electric fuzes WT 1 hour; for powder train time fuzes (PTTF) WT 30 minutes; for unknown missiles WT 3 hours; SAFETY for unknown rockets 1 hour WT; For grenades 30 minute WT; for smoke grenades 13 minute WT; 60 second WT for initial movement of landmines. 14. Cocked Striker: Don't move or jar ordnance, it has a hung cocked firing pin and may detonate if moved. Don't move armed Mechanical Time (MT) fuzes or PTTF. Move grenades remotely, they also have a 650 feet frag radius. 15. EMR: Secure all sources of Radio Frequency (RF) producing material within specified distances of the ordnance. Don't open the skin of HERO safe ordnance in the vicinity of RF producing material, it may detonate the ordnance. Don't use fluorescent lighting for EOD work, it produces RF energy. 16. Static: Ground yourself before touching ordnance; don't perform EOD work with electrical storms in the vicinity. For very sensitive ordnance (such as black powder or lead azide), use appropriate grounding stakes and non static producing clothes. 17. Approach From the Rear 45o, Work From the side (AFR 45, WFS): Approach ordnance 45o from the rear for missiles, rockets, and rocket assisted projectiles (RAP); work from the side; Never visually check venturies directly, use a wooden dowel or inspection mirror. 18. Eject: Stay clear of front and rear of ejection rounds; stay clear of retained snakeye fins and all parachute packs or ejection ports. 19. Boobytrap: Use binoculars for long range recon; probe below ground, above ground use uncovered arms from ground up to feel for trip wires. Suspect booby traps at all times, be aware of entrapment situations. 20. Aircraft: Ensure aircraft are chocked, blocked and off; avoid hot wheel explosion area and radar areas. 21. Bombs: Positively ID for chemical, incendiary, etc.; don't turn arming vanes, insert safety pins or pop out pins, pull or cut arming lanyards or attempt fuze removal except as specifically called for in the RSP pub; if unknown, assume 22. most dangerous fuze combination; don't pack explosives in a well containing a detonator; don't remove tail pistols that have been installed in excess of 14 days. 23. Landmines: For initial movement, take cover and perform remotely, not coming out until 60 second WT has elapsed.

24. Clear debris from obstructed ordnance only enough to permit necessary actions. If such clearance will disturb the ordnance by moving it or by creating hazardous signals perform clearance remotely. SAFETY 25. If any unusual markings, modifications or signs of tampering are noticed, consider the ordnance to be unknown. 26. Avoid vapors, smoke or fumes. 27. Assume that anti-withdrawal devices are present under all components that must be removed unless it is known otherwise. 28. Do not rely solely on color coding for positive ID of munitions contents.

CHEMICAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1) Work within the time limits of MOPP levels for existing weather conditions ACPG: 120 days out of package/45 days total wear/washed 6 times/24hrs in a chem. Environment SCALP SUIT: Gross contamination 1hr C2 canister: 30 min. in CK environment/30 days in chem.

IED SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

1) Use gloves on all evidence/explosives. SAFETY

15) Handle acids and other chemicals with care. Some chemical mixtures tend to crust over and, if the crust is disturbed, a detonation or flash fire may occur. SAFETY 16) Use caution in furnishing information concerning EOD procedures or personnel. Such knowledge could provide a designer with the means to develop countermeasures. 17) DO NOT ATTEMPT HAND ENTRY EXCEPT AS A LAST RESORT!. Hand entry is considered the most hazardous. In situation requiring hand entry, first X- ray the device. When attempting hand entry, be especially cautious for anti-probe firing devices. 18) Take precautions against booby traps. Booby Traps can be incorporated into any device. 19) Avoid bunching up personnel at scene. 20) TIME ON TARGET: The longer it takes to clear an item the greater the chances of indirect fire and small arms fire impacting in and around the EOD team. Remember: Cat A- Grave and immediate threat to human life or valuable property. (Hands on procedures are authorized) Cat B-Time critical, no threat to human life or valuable property, (Use remote means on all procedures) Cat C- Not time critical no threat to human life or valuable property, (Use remote means on all procedures) Cat D- No EOD threat

2) Do not cut or disconnect wires unless the circuitry is positively known. 3) Check any scene for secondary devices as soon as possible. 4) Remove detonator from explosives point in opposite direction, place in container to restrict or vent blast and frag. 5) Determine required firing action before moving device, move remotely. 6) Do not unscrew threaded fittings except remotely. 7) After removal of the blasting cap from the IED, cut the leg wires and shunt as close as possible to the blasting cap. 8) Do not turn lights on or off if photocell functioning is considered possible. 9) * Be on the alert for all types of entrapment situations and be suspicious of every unusual object. 10) Trace all firing leads to make certain that other less obvious devices are not connected to the circuit. Beware of secondary devices. 11) If there is any doubt regarding complete understanding of a circuit, attempt to remove the detonator from the main charge.(BY REMOTE MEANS IF POSSIBLE) 12) Avoid functioning a device by inadvertently applying a required action, such as applying pressure, releasing or pulling wires or strings before their functions are understood, or moving a device and thus actuating a secondary device or boobytrap. A firing device may be initiated or restarted by movement of the improvised device. 13) Do not attempt to reset any type of timing mechanism. 14) Do not operate radio transmitters in the vicinity of electrically initiated devices. If possible, personnel, tools, and other sources of static electricity should be grounded. When necessary, or if a device must be transported through an electromagnetic radiation area, EMR precautions should be taken. 13

CONVOY BRIEF GENERAL Be prepared for IED attack followed by ambush. SAFETY Be and appear vigilant; personnel who look ready to fight back make bad targets. Maintain maximum safe speeds. Maintain vehicle dispersion. Be extra cautious at choke points: Iraqi vehicle breakdowns, bridges, one-way roads, traffic jams, and sharp turns. If something causes the convoy to stop, watch the flanks for IEDs; dismount with weapons at the ready. Vests and helmets save lives, wear them! Ballistic eye protection saves eyesight. Rehearse actions on contact for an IED. Get out of the kill zone fast. Do not approach the IED; IEDs are often command-detonated. Brief all convoy personnel on latest IED threat; what types of IEDs are being used and where have they previously been emplaced on your route? The following are possible indicators of an ambush: Absence of women and children when normally present Dramatic changes in population from one block to the next Intelligence reports that a blue X on rocks indicates an IED site Signals with flares/city lights (turned off/on) as convoy approaches Vehicle following convoy for long distances and then pulling off the side of the road prior to an ambush Broken down vehicles along the roadways Dead animals along the roadways Freshly dug hole/disturbed ground along the roadway indicates possible future IED site (report it) Obstacles in roadway used to channel the convoy. Personnel on overpasses Personnel inside traffic circles

CONVOY EMERGENCY PROCEDURES SAFETY

stop. 2. Radio operator establishes radio comms with OPCON send SITREP. Request support assets as required. 3. If lead vehicle becomes disabled, the second vehicle will push the disabled vehicle out of the danger zone. This procedure will be followed for any disabled vehicle in the convoy. 4. If your vehicle becomes disabled place transmit ion to NEUTRAL, maintain steerage and allow rear vehicle to push you out of the danger zone. 5. If you are the last vehicle in the convoy use tow strap and have next forward vehicle in convoy pull you through the danger zone. 6. If a vehicle is too demolished to be pushed out of the danger zone, the vehicle will be disembarked and vehicle crew will get in the vehicle directly in front of the disabled vehicle. If it is the lead vehicle that is disabled, the crew will embark the vehicle directly behind them. Once embarked a head count will be preformed. 7. Should a vehicle be abandoned, ensure emergency message is sent, secure all CRYPTO, COMSEC, and sensitive material. All material that cant be carried will be destroyed by destruction charge or small arms fire. Pop smoke. Be prepared to execute E&E plan if situation dictates. 1. If the convoy is engaged by the enemy, Blow through, do not

SECURITY COORDINATION FOR RESPONDING EOD

1. After 9-line is received from BTOC, make sure finding element has enough vehicles and personnel to properly cordon road (MSR with 4 lanes needs at least 4 vehicles for a cordon). Do not count your security that will be guiding you out as cordon force, because they are for your protection only (at least two gun trucks must stay with you).

9.

When operation is complete secure all tools and inform your security you are ready to collapse on the way out. Do not collapse the cordon until EOD and its security clear the area!

PREDEPARTURE
*Grey Highlights Denote Chemical Incident ___ 1. Upon receiving notification, complete Questionnaire. Initiate team recall. ___ 3. Arrange transportation: ( Helo / Vehicle / Boat ) Coordinate adequate convoy security.

2.

Once you are satisfied that there will be enough guns for your team give a 15 minute ETA link-up at the gate. Make liaison with your security and make sure that they know where they are headed. Do not role out the gate with a PHASE I security element that does not know where they are going. They must know the route and an alternate route in case of ambush. They should have in there possession: A) Map of AO B) Grid to where link up will be accomplished C) Comms with the finding unit D) Comms with Battalion or Brigade for GRF E) Plan for egress on an alternate route should things go awry. Inform your security of what you expect, enroute and when you arrive. Advise them not to let personnel or vehicle within 100 meters of your location. Some things to tell your security: A) Be on the lookout for vehicles/personnel sneaking around the cordon PHASE I and getting close. B) Do not pay attention to what we are doing with the robot the enemy is outward. C) Do not stop in an obvious place when we arrive, to move 50 meters off the road if possible. Standby to readjust positions. Convoy to site, try to split up the trucks so the two odd looking trucks with the funny antennas are not right in the middle of the gun trucks. It is important that the security element has comms with the finding unit so you dont roll past the IED, because the cordon was not set on both sides of the road. (This happens a lot) Once on scene conduct CP search and find out where the item is. Establish where you want the security trucks. Keep them safe also. When ready to conduct procedure, inform the inner security and all other personnel to take cover.

CHEMICAL AGENTS HAZARDS, SYMPTOMS &TREATMENT

Nerve Agents (GA, GB, GD, GF, VX) Symptoms Vapor Small exposure Eyes: Pinpointed pupils; dim, blurred vision; pain; may cause nausea, vomiting Nose: Runny Nose, worse than cold or hay fever Mouth: Excessive Salivation, may run out corners of the mouth Airways: Shortness of breath Vapor Moderate exposure Severe breathing difficulty Gasping, irregular breathing Vapor Large exposure Previously listed effects plus... Loss of consciousness Seizures No Breathing Paralysis Death Onset of effects: seconds to minutes After removal from vapor ; Effects do not worsen May improve No late-onset effects Liquid on Skin Same as vapor With the exception of pinpointed pupils Can occur if liquid drop is near the eye First symptoms are localized sweating and twitching of the exposed area. First symptom you will notice, will probably be GI tract (nausea and vomiting). Onset of effects Small, medium drop, As long as 18 hours Large, lethal drop, Usually <30 minutes Effects may occur despite initial decontamination Effects may worsen Treatment Self Aid (Mild Symptoms) 1 Atropine Auto Injector, 1 2-Pam Chloride Injector Observe for 10 minutes, if symptoms persist, 1 more Atropine & 1 more 2-Pam Chloride Buddy Aid (Severe Symptoms) 3 Atropine Auto Injectors 3 2-Pam Chloride Injectors 1 CANA (Diazepam) If more needed, 1 atropine every 5-10 minutes until secretions drying and ventilation improved. After 3 injections of 2-Pam CL, no more 2-Pam CL will be given for one hour. Side effect: no sweating, may become a heat casualty. Aging Times: GD 2 minutes, GB 3-4 hours, others longer. If victim is convulsing and 3 Atropine and 3 2PAM CL are administered, 1 CANA auto injector must be administered (also known as Diazepam or valium). If not the victim may have brain seizures, convulsions, and DIE.

Prophylaxis: Pyridostigmine Bromide in itself will not protect you from nerve agent poisoning. It strictly enhances the antidotes during GD poisoning. One Set = 21 tablets of 30 mg. Take one tablet every 8 hours. Blister Agents, Vesicants (HD, HN, HT, L, PD, ED, MD, CX) Symptoms red skin in 4-8 hrs eye irritation respiratory irritation severe burns 4-24 hrs Chemical Cell damage in 1-2 minutes. Clinical effects show in 2-48 hours, average 4-8 hours. Lewisite rate of action pain & irritation within 1 minute, tissue damage within 5 minutes. systemic poisoning for CX: Powerful irritant which produces IMMEDIATE pain When it comes in contact with the skin, the area turns blanched and surrounded by a red ring in 30 secs. The blanched area turns brown in 24 hrs. Scab forms in about a week. Treatment M291 Kit treatment for agent in eyes is same as for nerve agent Blood Agents Cyanides (AC, CK, SA) Symptoms for AC: AC (hydrogen cyanide) - AC interferes with the utilization of oxygen by the body. increased breathing rate, vertigo, nausea, convulsions, headache, coma, respiratory arrest, cardiac arrest, death for CK: CK (Cyanogen Chloride) - Affects the body the same as AC, but has choking effect and a strong irritating effect. CK breaks down mask filters in 30 minutes immediate intense irritation of nose, throat and eyes, decreased breathing rate, coughing tearing, tightness in chest, dizziness, unconsciousness Treatment Sodium Nitrite & Sodium Thiosulfate. Death occurs rapidly or recovery is prompt. 100% O2 if available. Decon not necessary for vapor, but wet clothing should be removed & the underlying skin washed with soap & water. Step 1 of 2: Pasadena (Formerly Lilly) Cyanide Antidote Kit, one of two 10 ml sodium Nitrite vials, IV. step 2 of 2: Sodium Thiosulfate, one of two large bottles in the Pasadena Kit, 50 ml IV. A second treatment with each of the two antidotes may be given at up to half the original dose if needed. Effective even after breathing has stopped; IE CPR/O2. Incapacitating Agents (BZ, Agent 15 (Iraq)) Symptoms: disorientation hallucinations incoherence confusion irrational fear

Comes from Teflon fires. Oxides of Nitrogen (NOX) are by products of conventional blast weapons and explosives. These can cause the same effects as Phosgene (CG). Treatment is the same as for CG. Vomiting (PD, DA, DM, DC) Tear (CN, CNC, CNS, CNB, CA, CS) Mace - CN, CNC, CNS, CNB, CA and CR (British). Pepper Spray - CS, CS1, CS2. More potent and less toxic than CN. Treatment - Move to fresh air/ mask up. For heavy CS exposure, you can potentially use therapy for cyanide poisoning.

M18A3 TESTING PROCEDURES

Test for Liquid Agents (Blister or Nerve Agents) on Surfaces If the suspected surface contamination is in liquid form (puddles, small drops, or barely visible droplets), test for agent with ABC-M8 VGH chemical agent detector paper. 1. Place the paper in contact with the suspected surface (blot, do not rub) and observe color change, if any. YELLLOW G agent RED Blister agent (H,L, and CX) GREEN V agent Test for V and G Vapors (Detector Ticket) 1. Remove detector ticket packet from carrier. 2. Tear packet open at tear notches. 3. Remove the detector ticket from the packet. Discard the desiccant board 1 in. x 1 in. x 1/16 in. (2.54 cm x 2.54 cm x0.16 cm). 4. Remove and discard foil overlay from the detector ticket.

3. Remove the detector tube from the adapter. If a yellow or orange color appears in the detector tube, CK is present. Discard the detector tube and omit the test for G-agent and the test for mustards or CX. 4. If no yellow or orange color appears, the test is negative. Retain the blue band detector tube and proceed with the test for G-agent. Test for G-Agent 1. Perform this test only if the CK test is negative (no yellow or orange color) following detector ticket test. Use the blue band detector tube from the CK test for this test. Whiteband detector tubes may be used if there is a shortage of blue band tubes. However, the white-band tubes are not to be used to test for other than G-agents. 2. Squeeze one drop of reagent solution from the green-marked bottle into the banded end of the detector tube. If yellow appears within one minute, G-agent is present. Test for Mustard or Phosgene Oxime (CX) Vapors

5. Add one drop of solution from the white-marked bottle onto the enzyme disk on the round end of the detector ticket COLLECTING AND TESTING VAPOR SAMPLE 1. Install the round end of a prepared detector ticket in the aspirator bulb adapter with enzyme disk facing toward the bulb. 2. Direct the ticket toward the ground and compress the bulb sixty times. Allow the bulb to re-inflate completely between compressions. 3. Withdraw the ticket from the aspirator bulb adapter.4. Carefully add one drop of solution from the white-marked bottle to the substrate disk at the square end of the ticket.
5. Fold the ticket at the score line to bring the enzyme and substrate disks together. Then place the folded ticket in the clip for three minutes. 6. After three minutes, remove the ticket from the clip. 7. Unfold the ticket and observe the color of the enzyme disk on the round end of the ticket. a. If the disk is white or light red-orange, either V-agent or G-agent, or a combination of V-agent and G-agent is present in the atmosphere. Keep mask on under these conditions. NOTE Blue color is safe. Color may not be evenly distributed on detector ticket. b. If the disk is blue, no V-agent or G-agent is present in the atmosphere. c. If most of the disk is white or light red-orange with a fringe of blue, very low concentrations of V-agent or G-agent are present.

1. Perform this test only if the CK test is negative. Use a blue band detector tube for this test. 2. Snap both ends from the detector tube at the scorings and press the unmarked end of the tube into the adapter.
3. With the detector tube pointing down, compress the bulb sixty times. Remove the detector tube from the adapter. 4. Wait at least two minutes after sampling; then squeeze one drop of reagent solution from the blue-marked bottle into the banded end of the detector tube. NOTE If the temperature is below 65 F (18.3 C), see WP 0007 00. 5. If a purple-blue ring or color appears, mustard H, HD, HN, or HT is present. If a redbrown ring or color appears, CX is present (a light brown color that fades within 15 seconds is not a positive test). Test for Lewisite (L), Ethyl Dichloroarsine (ED), or Methyl Dichloroarsine (MD) 1. Snap both ends from a yellow band detector tube at the scorings and press the unmarked end of the detector tube into the adapter. 2. With the detector tube pointing down, compress the bulb sixty times. 3. Remove the detector tube from the adapter and observe the color. If a blue-green ring or color is observed, ED or a high concentration of L is present. 4. Squeeze one drop of reagent solution from the blue-marked bottle into the banded end of the detector tube. If a blue or blue-green ring or color appears, L, ED, or MD (singly or in combination) is present. Test for Phosgene (CG) 1. Snap both ends from a green band detector tube at the scorings and press the unmarked end of the detector tube into the adapter. 2. With the detector tube pointing down, compress the bulb sixty times. 3. Remove the detector tube from the adapter and observe the color. If a green ring or color appears, CG is present.

M18A3 Quick look table Test for Hydrocyanic Acid (AC) CAUTION Decontaminants will affect certain components of the M18A3 detector kit. Any high chlorine content decontaminant will give positive indications on the AC test if it is not thoroughly rinsed from the contaminated surface or item prior to conducting vapor test. 1. Snap both ends from a red band detector tube at the scorings and press the unmarked end of the detector tube into the adapter. 2. With the detector tube pointing down, compress the bulb sixty times. In order to confirm a weak positive test, when using the red band detector tubes, the exposed tube should be darker than a sealed unexposed tube. 3. Remove the detector tube from the adapter and observe the color. If the test for CK was negative and a blue ring or color appears in the detector tube, AC is present. If the test for CK was positive and a blue ring or color appears in the detector tube, Tabun (GA) and/or AC is present. Sampling for Unknown Agents When no positive readings are obtained with the preceding tests and the presence of a chemical agent is suspected, proceed with the following steps: 1. Complete a report card. a. Be sure to record information which may be helpful in determining the nature of the unknown agent: identification of the unit taking the samples; the place, date, and time the samples are taken; observed characteristics of the agent; and the effect of the agent on personnel. b. List the observed color effects on the various types of detector tubes. 2. Select an area for sampling that is likely to have a high concentration of agent such as a depression in the ground or just above a puddle of liquid agent. Take samples in five white-band sampling tubes. The instructions given below apply to each of the five sampling tubes. a. Snap both ends from a white-marked sampling tube at the scorings and press the unmarked end into the adapter. b. With the sampling tube pointing down, compress the bulb sixty times. c. Remove the sampling tube from the adapter and place it in the zip lock bag containing the completed report card. 3.

FRAG INFORMATION
(ref. 60a-1-1-4)

Increase the fragmentation distance ranges by 33 percent when intentionally disposing of ammunition and explosives placed in stacks or piles. Detonation of munitions in stacks can project fragments to greater distances than detonation of multiple items arranged in a side-by-side orientation. Ensure that all personnel located at the Hazardous Fragmentation Distance Range are afforded adequate frontal and overhead protection against explosion effects. At this distance, personnel remaining in the open may incur injury or death from being struck by a hazardous fragment(s). Risks associated with explosion effects increase for distances closer than the hazardous fragmentation distance range. For nonessential personnel exposed in the open, use the greater of K50 (K(m)19.84) or the HFDR, with a minimum of 328 feet (100 meters). This distance range is also recommended for essential personnel whenever possible.

For essential personnel in the open, QDRs will be determined by an on-site authority. A minimum of 328 feet (100 meters) withdrawal distance is recommended.

QDR FOR FLY ROCK. If a fly rock event is anticipated, use the flyrock withdraws distance equation K625. QDR FOR CAVE OR TUNNELOPENINGS OR PORTHOLES. Unless barricaded, it is recommended that personnel withdraw a minimum of 1800 feet within 10 degrees to either side of the center of the opening.

Caution: Military type explosives (i.e. Comp-B, C-4, Detasheet) are a magnitude less sensitive than commercial explosives (NG based dynamites, shock tube, or detonating cord). Upon direct impact Hydra-Jets can shock initiate commercial explosives, and the more powerful Hydra-Jets can shock initiate certain military type explosives. Note: To penetrate thick or strong barriers, use the HJs at the minimum or close to the minimum standoff. Due to ablation of the water-jet with distance, HJs at their maximum standoff will penetrate substantially less.

WARNING: MWBs containing more than 200 grains per foot, unless appropriately spaced (> 6 inches), will cause detonation of NG dynamites. Bottles containing 200 grains per foot will cause detonation of NG dynamites if the standoff distance is less than four inches and/or if the detonator is not correctly positioned within the water bottle. During render safe procedures, always prepare for the possibility of the disruptive system functioning the IED.

Explosives Measuring Tool equals 20 grams +/- 2%when consolidated and leveled off. Note: Loads smaller than 5 grams are not recommended. Water Jacket used to increase the penetration of any of the projectiles without increasing the explosive load. It also suppresses the blast and flame of the explosion. Copper EFP loaded painted side out, produces neat holes and shattering of brittle material. Range several meters. Aluminum EFP loaded with painted side out, produces neat holes. Range of several meters. Similar to copper EFP but with less ricochet or long range hazard. Copper Jet-Forming Cone used for piercing narrow holes in steel, concrete or any other hard materials. A stand off of 100mm is recommended. Nozzle limits projectile impact to a very restricted zone and greatly facilitates aiming with pin-point accuracy.

FLUKE/CURRENT PROBE OPERATION

Fluke Testing Fuses: Turn Fluke on by placing switch in the Ohms position. Plug black lead in A port, put other end in the V port, observe meter for deflection. Plug black lead in mA port, put other end in V port, observe meter for deflection. If deflection was observed in both tests the meter is ready for use. Current Probe: 1. Place black in COM and red in V. 2. Turn meter to mV. 3. Turn current probe on. 4. Zero current probe by turning dial on probe until meter reads zero. 5. Put current probe up to wire to be read and push REL, the meter should zero. 6. Place clamp over wire, placing wire in channel on clamp. 7. If meter reads above .3mV, positive or negative, the wire has current. NOTE: Ensure arrow is in same direction for all tests. 8. For each wire to be checked, turn the REL function off and redo steps 4 thru 7. 9. Turn both meter and probe off when not in use. In Line Check: Note: Use lead wires that have alligator clips and have jump wire ready for use. 1. Place black lead in COM and red lead in mA. 2. Turn meter to mA. 3. Carefully strip a section of wire about 3 inches. 4. Clip black and red leads on striped section of wire with room to cut between leads. 5. If meter indicates current then jump wire and cut, if meter indicates no current then the wire is dead, cut wire.

Other special equipment we will be carrying is(as applicable): Mini-MIRA, Ranger, GN2b, GN-4, Six Pack or In Field Unit, HRM, Pager S, LHT, MK 7, APD 2000, Bio Sampling Kit, ADM-300 Multi Function Radiac, SFAI, UCP, Drager, SOF CAD, CB Extraction Tool, Video Probe, Thermal Imager, other: ________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ Code word for an IED or booby-trap is BOSCO and for an immediate withdrawal from the target is Landslide. If a timer is seen and 5 minutes or less is remaining, call Landslide. Timers can be count down timer, Show actual time of day or hidden. Ordnance Safety Precautions: Timed Device - One man maintain visual on timer (may be a count down timer or a clock showing time of day) until EOD arrives. Once EOD arrives, we need 1/2 assaulters to provide security over watch, preferable from 10 if possible and at the doorway. Trip Wires - If you can safely navigate around, drop a red chem light & go around, if you cant, drop a red chem light, post one man to avoid other assaulters from tripping the booby trap. Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance (HERO) - Dont transmit radios within the following distances of IEDs: MBTR/MX-300 8 Meters Satcom 18 Meters HF (whip Ant) 153 Meters HF (Dipole) 488 Meters White Light - Avoid using white light (battery powered light of any color) directly on an IED, especially at close range, even if you have used tac lights on your weapons while clearing the room. If it is necessary to recon the IED, do so wearing NVGs, until EOD is on site. Fragmentation/Blast Overpressure and Security - Leave two shooters to provide security, unless space is confined, then leave one shooter. Provide security from a standoff distance of 10. If an IED looks the size of 5 lbs of C-4 (4 sticks), evacuate all others if possible to a distance of 30 ft and two solids walls back. If an IED looks the size of up to

40 lbs C-4 (two satchels of C-4), evacuate everyone else 60 ft and two solid walls back. Alarm Systems: Manned Target - If outside of Primary Breach Point is protected move to Alternate Breach Point. If a system is immediately inside the Breach Point, the Breach should set it off. Stairwells & Breaking Corners or suspect rooms, bang prior to entering (similar to trenches/stairwells) & give a couple of seconds, then bang again and charge in. The threat is the system will fire an improvised Claymore. A delay is desirable to give the system a chance to alarm and function the penalty (claymore). The second bang is to startle the bad guy, no delay and charge in. If it sounds an alarm, ignore it and charge in. When and if required the siren can later be eliminated. Gig is up once the first breach goes, siren is only a nuisance at that point. Banging prior to entering should set off Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors, the most common type. Alarm Systems: Unmanned Target/Suicide Manned Target/WMD Target - Consider using a Surreptitious Entry Technique/EOD up front (soft entry) as any violation of the system may set off the WMD or a very large conventional explosive IED (entrapment type device) that could eliminate the entire assault force. Ask yourself who is the target, what is the threat assessment, could it be the assault force. Suicide Bomber - If the IED has 5 sticks of dynamite or 2 lbs of C-4, the PC and all assaulters need to be 10 or more from the suicide bomber, and then shoot him, expecting a high order detonation. Inside 10 your best bet is to use crisis management verbiage to calm him down and try to get him to (unknowingly) move 10 from the PC and all assaulters, then shoot him expecting a high order detonation. If unsuccessful, try to gain positive control of his bomb trigger and maintain it until EOD arrives. For 10 sticks of dynamite or 4 lbs of C-4 use 15 and for 20 sticks or 8 lbs use 18.

We are prepared to deal with the above threats. That concludes my brief. Subject to your questions, I will be followed by CCT, the Combat Control Team Sergeant.

General first aid

Signs and symptoms of shock -Examine the casualty for any of the following signs or symptoms: Sweaty but cool skin Pale skin Restlessness, nervousness Thirst Loss of blood (caused by internal or external bleeding) Confusion or loss of awareness Faster than normal breathing rate Blotchy or bluish skin (especially around the lips) Nausea and vomiting -Position the casualty. -Move the casualty to cover if situation permits. -Lay casualty on his or her back. NOTE: Some casualties who may be in shock after suffering a heart, chest wound or breathing distress may breathe easier in a sitting position. If this is the case , allow them to sit upright, but monitor their condition carefully. -Elevate the casualtys feet higher than the level of the heart. CAUTION- Check casualty for leg fracture(s); splint before elevating. -Loosen clothing at the neck, waist or wherever it may be binding. -Prevent chilling or overheating. -Calm the casualty. The Three Types of Bleeding Arterial bleeding is characterized by the flow of bright red blood (due to oxygen content) that pumps out in distinct spurts. Severe arterial bleeding could cause a victim to bleed to death in two to three minutes. Venous bleeding is characterized by a flow of dark red or marooncolored blood. Although venal bleeding may be profuse, it is much easier to control than arterial bleeding. Capillary bleeding is characterized by the slow oozing of blood, usually from minor wounds. Because of the large amount of surface area that may be involved, the threat of contamination may be more serious than blood loss. The Three Methods to Control External Bleeding b. Mild bleeding may be controlled by both elevating the wound and by the application of direct pressure. Apply pressure to the wound using a sterile dressing. Do not attempt to replace a dressing once it is held in place even though it may become blood-soaked. Rather than replacing the dressing, place another one on top of the soaked dressing and hold them in place. 95

Serious bleeding. Use a combination of one or more of the following treatments. Direct pressure on the wound. Pressure points Tourniquet. Used only as a last resort to control life threatening bleeding that cannot be controlled by any other means. General Principles of Emergency Care for Open Wounds Open wounds are usually categorized as puncture wounds, abrasions, lacerations or incisions. An impaled object is an object in an area that has not been extracted. If this is the case, it is important to remember not to extract the object and to immobilize the object so that it will not cause further damage. Otherwise, all open wounds should be treated in accordance with the following principles: a) Control the bleeding b) Prevent contamination c) Immobilize and elevate Internal Bleeding. Do not be misled into thinking that internal bleeding occurs only in abdominal and chest cavity injuries. A casualty can lose one to three pints of blood, internally, from a broken femur or pelvis. A casualty can actually bleed to death without externally losin a drop of blood. a) Symptoms include: Rapid and weak pulse Pale, moist and cold skin Shallow and rapid respiration Thirst Dilated pupils Coughing up dark red blood the color of coffee grounds. Stiff abdominal muscles b) Treatment: Treat for shock Give nothing by mouth Evacuate as soon as possible

HEAT CASUALTIES
HEAT CRAMPS Symptoms: Painful cramps and/or spasms in muscles of the abdomen, legs, and arms, as a result of excessive sweating. Treatment: Move victim to cool area and message cramps. Give plenty of water treated with one teaspoon of salt per quart of water. If cramps do not pass or become more severe, other symptoms may follow and the victim should be treated as a heat Exhaustion casualty. HEAT EXHAUSTION: Symptoms: Cold, gray skin. Moist and clammy, may have goose bumps. Dilated pupils, weak pulse. Breathing will be rapid and shallow. Body temperature may be below normal. Treatment: Treat for shock, lay victim down with feet elevated. Loosen or remove protective clothing. Cool victim with wet cloths, but do not allow them to become chilled. Allow the victim to drink a solution of cool water mixed with one teaspoon of salt per quart. Evacuate for medical treatment.

HEAT STROKE: Symptoms: Headache, nausea, dizziness, and weakness. Breathing will be deep and rapid initially then become shallow, almost absent. Skin will be flushed and very hot and dry, pupils will be constricted, pulse will be fast and strong. Treatment: Heat stroke is life threatening, first aid should begin immediately. Evacuate victim to coolest clean area and down-dress as fast as possible. Reduce body heat by dousing the body with cold water and cold wet towels to entire body. Place victim on back with head and shoulders slightly raised, place cold packs under arms, and at neck and groin. If conscious, give cool water to drink. Transport to medical for further treatment.
