Disaster Preparedness: Replace your training filter and gas mask hood with real world ones immediately. Do not dispose of old filter because it is considered hazardous waste – keep it to take back to your home station. Inspect your gas mask every 7 days and annotate on your VDD Form 1574. Keep your C-bag readily available for use. If you need replacement parts, contact supply or Disaster Preparedness for more information. Cipro must be placed in your gas mask carrier at all times. Only take this medication when ordered to do so. Wash your hands frequently to prevent the spread of germs and disease. Use only bottled water to brush your teeth. Safety Issues: Safety is not thrown out because of war. Camel spiders, scorpions and vipers are in the area – avoid them. All personnel must wear a reflective belt at night.

The Threat To survive any Nuclear, Biological, Chemical or Conventional (NBCC) attack, we need to know the enemy’s capabilities, weapons, and tactics. The two likely major attack scenarios for Al Udeid AB are scud missile attacks and ground attacks by special operations forces (SOF). Both of these scenarios pose different threats and your reactions have to be tailored to allow you the best protection from the specific danger. Missile threat – we will have only a few minutes notice of a missile launch. Missiles targeted for Al Udeid could possibly carry chemical or biological munitions. The missiles themselves and the rocket fuel residue are also very hazardous. Missiles are not very accurate and do not seek out specific targets such as vehicles or aircraft. Aircraft threat – while it is unlikely, the possibility exists, that enemy aircraft could penetrate our air defenses. The main threat from an aircraft attack is high explosive bombs, as well as potential for chemical and biological weapons. Special Operations Forces attack – this type of attack could be small arms fire, sniper fire, mortar attacks ect. These elite forces could infiltrate with little notice.

The Threat dictates everything The Threat dictates everything! The threat determines all aspects of our war-fighting mission. Planning, assumptions, use of resources, and training are all affected by the threat. If you fail to train as we fight, you will fail to fight as you have been trained. Take training serious and understand the threat. Once you have a perspective on what the threat is, you can better implement procedures.
