Author Description

This manual applies to active duty, reserve, national guard, emergency essential civilian, and emergency essential contract personnel. It compiles war skill tactics, techniques, and procedures from many sources into a pocket-sized, quick reference guide. This manual implements AFPD 10-25 Full-Spectrum Threat Response and incorporates provisions of AFMAN 10-2602 Nuclear, Biological, Chemical, and Conventional (NBCC) Defense Operations and Standards, as well as portions of AFH 32-4014, Vol 4, USAF Ability to Survive and Operate Procedures in a Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) Environment that is rescinded upon publication of this manual. SUMMARY OF REVISIONS: This revision includes revised strategies and procedures for the way Aerospace Expeditionary Forces (AEF) will prepare, fight, and operate on the NBCC battlefield. Operational updates include changes in improvised explosive devices, counter-chemical warfare operations, contamination avoidance strategies, warning and notification signals/sirens, and the addition of the M45 Land Warrior Chemical-Biological Mask. Informational updates include embedded media journalists, self-aid buddy care, chemical protective overgarments, mask wear and inspection, and the Split-MOPP concept. Two new sections were added, Quick Reference and Critical Information Checklists, to reinforce AEF knowledge and confidence, and to facilitate effective actions under stressful situations.
