Meaning of CBRN - answerC: Chemical (nerve agents)
B: Biological (viruses)
R: Radiological (Traveling into irradiated areas)
N: Nuclear (Nuclear Blast)
Three General Principles of CBRN Defense/Response? Provide an example of how to
implement each principle? - answer1. Contamination Avoidance: Avoid CBRN Hazards
(review intel, use detection and monitoring equipment)
2. Control/Mitigate the Threat: Protect personnel, equipment and cutter from
unavoidable CBRN hazards (ensure PPE is donned)
3. Contain: Prevent spread of CBRN contamination via DECON to restore operational
capabilities (establish control zones)
Cutter CBRN Bill - answerCBRN bill located in DCC setting forth duties/responsibilities
of cutter personnel to defend CBRN attack based on available shipboard CBRN
equipment
Who is Responsible for CBRN Coordination? - answerOOD informs crew of suspected
attack and PPE to wear/Direct individuals to DECON stations furthest from attack
locations and specify any areas crews shall avoid
Bridge Team takes evasive reaction (turning into wind) and logs all taken actions in
Ship's Log
Three Important Elements within CBRN Bill? - answerConducting collective protection
activities under ordered Mission Oriented Protective Posture Level (MOPP)
Employing CBRN detection and monitoring equipment to conduct internal/external
surveys
Setting up DECON stations and conducting DECON of all individuals
What are Five Important Characteristics of any Type of CBRN Attack? - answer1. Area
Affected
2. Ability to Detect
3. Time to Detect and Identify
, 4. Time from Exposure to Onset of Effects
5. Medical Treatment
Persistent CBRN Agents - answerAgents that remain able to cause casualties for 24
hours to several days or weeks
Ex. Radioactive materials, biological pathogens that can live on surfaces, blister agents,
viruses and thickened nerve agents
Non-Persistent - answerAgents that dissipate and/or lose the ability to cause casualties
after 10-15 minutes. Commonly liquids/vapors and are usually lethal
Ex. Choking agent, blood agent
Three Classification of Anti-Personnel Chemical Warfare Agents? - answerCasualty
Agents (Death/Serious injury): nerve agents, choking agents, blood agents, blister
agents
Incapacitating Agents (Temporary)
Riot Control Agents (Irritation)
What are five methods through which Biological Warfare Agents (BWAs) May Spread? -
answer1. Misting, aerosolizing devices, unmanned aircraft systems, or sprayers (most
likely method against a ship at sea)
2. Ventilation Systems
3. Adulterating Agents into food or water including product tampering
4. Contaminating, Items Commonly touched by general public
5. Contagious People
What are Three Basic Forms Biological Warfare Agents Come In? - answer1. Bacteria
(Pathogen)
2. Viruses (Pathogen)
3. Naturally Occurring Toxins
What are Five Types of Ionizing Radiation? - answerAlpha Particles (a)
Beta Particles (B)
Gamma Rays (y)
X-Rays (X)
Neutron Radiation (V)
