VG Terminal Learning Objective ACTION: React to a nuclear hazard or attack.

VG Terminal Learning Objective (cont.) CONDITIONS: Given a scenario simulating a nuclear attack, you must respond to one of the following situations where you: 1.See a brilliant flash of light or a mushroom- shaped cloud. 2.Find a standard radiological contamination marker or an enemy marker.

VG CONDITIONS (cont.): 3.Are told that fallout is in your area. 4.Receive warning instructions to respond to a nuclear attack. 5.Come across a suspected DULLRAM hazard. Terminal Learning Objective (cont.)

VG STANDARD: Identify the best protective shelter; identify radiological contamination markers with 100% accuracy. Identify requirements to decontaminate self and equipment. You must achieve a score of 70% on the Performance Based Test. Terminal Learning Objective (cont.)

VG Learning Objective A ACTION: Identify types of radiation and actions to take to react to a nuclear hazard or attack without warning.

VG CONDITIONS: Given a scenario simulating a nuclear attack, you must respond to a situation where you see a brilliant flash of light or a mushroom-shaped cloud. Learning Objective A (cont.)

VG STANDARD: Identify the best protective position to avoid or lessen the effects of the blast. Learning Objective A (cont.)

VG Learning Objective B ACTION: Identify actions to take to react to a nuclear hazard or attack with warning.

VG Learning Objective B (cont.) CONDITIONS: Given a scenario simulating a nuclear attack, you must respond to a situation where you receive warning instructions to respond to a nuclear attack.

VG STANDARD: Identify all steps to take to react with warning. Identify positive and negative characteristics of protective shelters. Learning Objective B (cont.)

VG Buildings Reinforced-concrete Structure Reinforced Masonry-block House

VG Armored Vehicles For protection, armored vehicles should be dug in (hull defilade) or placed in trenches or cuts in roads.

VG Learning Objective C ACTION: Identify radiological contamination markers and actions to take if you find one.

VG Learning Objective C (cont.) CONDITIONS: Given a situation where you find a standard radiological contamination marker or an enemy marker.

VG STANDARD: Identify radiological contamination markers and actions to take with 100% accuracy. Learning Objective C (cont.)

VG Warsaw Pact Contamination Markers C% = Nuclear [ = Biological ?% = Chemical Decontaminated Path (and its width) Area cannot be Decontaminated Red Background Black Lettering

VG Learning Objective D ACTION: Identify the steps to remove radiological contamination (including DULLRAM) from exposed skin, clothing, and equipment.

VG Learning Objective D (cont.) CONDITIONS: Given a scenario simulating a nuclear attack, where you: 1. Are told that fallout is in your area. or 2. Come across a suspected DULLRAM hazard.

VG STANDARD: Identify steps to take to remove radiological contamination with 70% accuracy. Learning Objective D (cont.)

VG Decon Procedures Brush, Scrape, or Flush radiological contamination. Cover Foxholes and Shelters. Radiac Operators begin continuous monitoring Covering the Mouth with handkerchief reduces contaminants entering the lungs. This method is preferable to masking to avoid trapping contamination in the mask filter.
