COMMANDER/LEADER ASSESSMENT: T P U (Circle)

CONDITIONS: An intentional or unintentional event involving chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosives (CBRNE) or natural disaster is threatened or has occurred. The element is employed in full-spectrum operations or in a garrison environment, or it is deployed to an incident site.

The element is ordered to set up a technical decontamination site. NOTE: This task is always performed in some level of personal protection, which may include MOPP4 or higher levels of protection depending on the projected hazard.

This task is always performed in MOPP4.

TASK STANDARDS: The element establishes a functional technical decontamination site prior to the survey or entry team entering the hot zone. The element operates the decontamination site to decontaminate element members, equipment, and samples to prevent the spread of of contamination.

TASK STEPS AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES GO NO-GO

NOTE: Setup and preparation of the decontamination site may be done in personal protective equipment (PPE).

* 1. Element leader selects the decontamination site according to the mission, terrain, troops, time available, and civil considerations (METT-TC).

a. Establishes the decontamination site upwind in the cold zone.

b. Selects the decontamination site based on the prevailing weather conditions.

4. Element establishes the technical decontamination lane.

a. Sets up the decontamination site to decontaminate personnel, equipment, and non-ambulatory or injured personnel.

b. Establishes the decontamination site sequential actions.

NOTE: The number of stations required for technical decontamination will vary depending on the factors such as type of agent and the weather. Personal clothing removal, shower and redress may be unnecessary if contamination did not penetrate the protective clothing. Monitoring equipment should be used to verify if any contamination has penetrated the protective suit.

(1) Station 1 - Equipment drop.

(2) Station 2 - PPE decontamination.

(3) Station 3 - monitoring point.

(4) Station 4 - protective clothing removal.

(5) Station 5 - clothing and respirator removal.

(7) Station 7 - Medical evaluation.

c. Establishes the emergency decontamination lane.

NOTE: Decontamination procedures may differ depending on the circumstances and hazards at the scene. Dry decontamination such as brushing or scraping, is an appropriate alternative for other contamination removal. Other considerations such as the hazard's reactivity with water and its solubility are factors in determining the appropriate decontamination method.

* 5. Element leader adjusts and maintains the decontamination site based on:

a. Reactivity hazards.

b. Environmental conditions.

c. Safety.

d. Waste management/runoff.

e. Additional resources.

f. Incident commander, unit commander, or safety officer guidance.
