4
React to Nuclear Attack
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.
5
CONDITIONS
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.
React to Nuclear Attack
6
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.

Earth-shielded Positions
Cover sandbags with earth and sod to protect them from thermal exposure
Covered sandbags enhance camouflage and provide fragmentation protection
Identify the best protective position to lessen the effects of blast

18
Armored Vehicles
For protection, armored vehicles should be dug in (hull defilade) or placed in trenches or cuts in roads.
Identify the best protective position to lessen the effects of blast

Identify actions to remove radiological contamination
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.
