ScopeEvery Air Force member is an "expeditionary airman." That means you must beprepared to deploy anywhere in the world on short notice. This manual doesn'tcontain everything you need to know. It doesn't tell you how to deal with membersof our sister services or the multinational nature of combat operations we see today.It does cover basic skills and knowledge. The manual doesn't replace regulations orlocal procedures you will be expected to follow. Our intent here is to help you andyour family through a deployment. Keep this manual close-you'll need it.
ResponsibilitiesCommanderThis manual contains generalized "blocking and tackling" skills that are applicableworldwide. However, these skills are just a starting point. Many sections of thismanual refer to other sources for valuable information. We encourage you to taketime to track down as many of these additional sources as practical and ensureyour people know the material in this book. Always seek to enhance combatreadiness and mission accomplishment in every aspect . Make sure your key trainingfolks are up to speed and capable of supporting your deployment goals andcapabilities. We urge you to build an accountability system to ensure all the membersof your deployment are knowledgeable and capable of performing to the high levelexpected.

Supervisor/TrainerEver since the military was first organized, the first-line supervisor has been thekey link in the training chain. Although basic military training, technical schools,and specialized training classes help, you are the final authority. As you prepareyour troops for deployment, remember that most lessons are more "caught" than"taught." Make sure your team sees you doing as well as teaching these skills. Takethe time to become completely conversant in not only the "what" but the "how" ofthese lessons. Make the chapters of this book part of each of your subordinatesofficial training records and ensure they keep up. Periodic refreshers and "popquizzes" at shop meetings also go a long way. You owe it to your team to make surethey are ready. Also, create an environment free from unlawful discrimination andsexual harassment that could undermine unit cohesiveness and mission capability.
Airman
Although your organization may set up some kind of training and/or evaluationsystem based on this manual, the bottom-line responsibility for your professionalwell being-especially deployed-rests with you. We hope you will refer to this manualfrequently, not for details on the regulations for any one of the subjects printedhere, but for reminders, hints, and references on the specifics of your demandingjob or situation. Our intent is to provide you those things you may have forgottenin formal training or reminders of areas we think are important and worth pointingout again. To assist you with this goal, we have included some review questions atthe end of each section.
You have already seen what your commander and supervisor owe you. But,ultimately, training comes down to you. Whether you're a Colonel or an Airman,success or failure depends on your personal commitment to mastering the skills inthis material, which is only a summation of training you have already received.Remember, the skills in this book are presented to protect YOU! Take the time tolearn and practice them, and they will, in-turn, make you a more effective warriorin our Expeditionary Aerospace Force.
AllThroughout the manual you will notice a variety of methods used to draw yourattention to important information. The βattention grabbersβ may be in the form ofcolored text boxes, or highlighted, italicized and/or bold text. Whatever the method,pay particular attention to them - they may save your life.

Evaluation GuidanceThis manual is set up on a "learn, practice, evaluate" basis. The primaryresponsibility for accomplishing that rests with the individual. We encourage youto read it, refer to it frequently, and review the section questions. Don't hesitate toask questions of your leadership. Find better ways to do some of the things suggestedin the manual based on your current or planned mission or location. Most of thematerial has been referenced so you can find more detailed information if necessary.
If you are responsible for training or evaluating, here are some suggestions onhow to get members of your unit to use this manual.
οΏ½ Assign members of your unit a short block of material to read
οΏ½ In small group sessions, have those short blocks summarized by your people
οΏ½ Go over the main points in the sections verbally
οΏ½ Quiz your people, using the review questions after each section
οΏ½ Repeat sections as necessary with different people; you may get a differentperspective that will help the team as a whole
οΏ½ Where appropriate, stage a demonstration of a skill or task
In short, we urge you to use your imagination for the circumstances you findyourself in, and use this manual to help ensure your people can accomplish theirjobs in a deployed environment safely and smartly.
Good luck!

Personal Concerns Ref AFH 32-4014, Vol 4Mobility BagsThere are four mobility bags that are maintained by you or your unit and issueddepending on the type and/or location for your deployment. A fifth bag that containsyour personal effects is also described here.

This bag is issued to personnel deployinginto nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC)medium and high threat areas. A full issueconsists of four complete chemical warfaredefense ensembles (CWDE).
οΏ½ CONUS forces will deploy with the firstand second ensembles maintained bytheir home station
οΏ½ Third and forth ensembles will bedeployed from the Consolidated MobilityBag Control Center (CMBCC)
D BagβAircrew Protection
This bag contains aircrew protective equipment. Upon deployment, aircrew membersshould have checked or hand-carried a D-1 bag (containing one complete aircrewensemble) on to the aircraft. The remaining D bag items should have been palletizedand shipped as cargo.

AFMAN 10-100 1 August 199910
Personal BagβContent requirements are usually developed by units and basedon a most probable deployment scenario, and usually consisting of the followingminimum items to support a limited length of deployment:
οΏ½ Uniform sets
οΏ½ Undershirts, undergarments, socks
οΏ½ Cold/Wet weather protection
οΏ½ Athletic gear
οΏ½ Civilian clothing
οΏ½ Towels, washcloths, and baby wipes
οΏ½ Coat hangers
οΏ½ Battery operated radio/CD player/alarm clock
οΏ½ Extra batteries
οΏ½ Flash light
οΏ½ Insect repellant
οΏ½ Sun-block and sun glasses
οΏ½ Toiletries (toothpaste & brush, shampoo, soap,
razor, lotions, and tissues)
οΏ½ Ziploc bag with laundry detergent (depending on the deployment location,laundry facilities may not be immediately available)
Keep in mind it may take some time for the Tactical Field Exchange to be established-take at least a 30 to 45 day supply of consumable items. Also, you should takealong some cash and a credit card. Planes can be diverted or break down, leavingyou at an interim location for extended periods of time. Be prepared!
Besides the items mentioned in the mobility bags above, you should have theseitems with you as you deploy:
οΏ½ Mobility equipment if issued (flak vest, Kevlar helmet, web belt, gas mask)
οΏ½ Current ID card
οΏ½ Current Leave and Earnings Statement (LES)
οΏ½ Dog tags
οΏ½ Deployment folder (shot records, locator card, training records)
οΏ½ Restricted area badge if issued (base badge is usually used at the deployinglocation for access and identification)
οΏ½ Weapon (if issued)
Don't forget glasses/gas mask inserts/contact lenses, hearing aids, ear protection,and required medications for the planned duration of the deployment plus 30 days.
Yours is a dangerous profession. Consequently, you must have your personal affairsin order at all times. A deployment line or a hospital bed is no place to make someof the biggest personal decisions in life. By giving plenty of thought to thesematters before you deploy, you can avoid problems later. Consider these documents:
WillβLegal instrument everyone should have that allows you to:
οΏ½ Dispose of your property after death
οΏ½ Name guardians to raise your minor children and manage property left to them
οΏ½ Declare who should carry out (or "execute") provisions of your will
Life InsuranceβContract between you and an insurance company (SGLI is a formof life insurance) that:
οΏ½ Pays upon your death
οΏ½ Is a contract separate and apart from a will
Review your policy periodically to ensure it's the correct type and amountneeded and you still want the beneficiaries designated.
Power of Attorney (POA)βAllows you to designate another individual to performone or more legal acts on your behalf for a set period of time. POAs are powerfuldocuments-the individual you select to execute your POA must be trustworthy andhave good common sense. Three types are:
οΏ½ Generalβallows POA specified individual to do virtually anything you couldlegally do. This is an extremely powerful document.
οΏ½ Specialβgrants a specified individual the legal authority to only do aspecific thing for you, such as sell a car, buy real estate, or ship/storehousehold goods.
οΏ½ Health Careβallows you to designate another individual to make healthcare decisions in the event you are unable to do so due to injury, illness, orthe effects of medication.
Review all legal documents periodically to be sure they are currentand accurate. Marriage, births, divorces, deaths, and changes in wealth
are principal reasons to update these legal documents..

Other Considerations
Consider this option before you deploy, while you are calm and clearly thinking. Aliving will states your desire on how you will be medically treated when you cannotcommunicate yourself. You should clearly state whether you should be kept on lifesupport equipment if proper medical expertise has determined that you are notmentally or physically able to make your own health care decisions, death is imminent,and the only thing keeping you alive is life support equipment.
Emergency Data Card Ref AFI 36-3002All active duty Air Force, Air ForceReserve, and Air National Guardpersonnel must complete anEmergency Data Card (DD Form 93) toprovide essential information onprimary and secondary next-of-kin inthe case of death, injury, or otheremergency.
οΏ½ Law requires the EmergencyData Card be used to designatebeneficiaries for death gratuityand unpaid pay and allowances
οΏ½ Entitlements may be paid towrong beneficiaries if DD Form93 is not current
Emergency Contact InformationPrior to your departure, ensure that your spouse and/or immediate family membersare aware of how they can contact you in the case of emergency. Some bases mayhave squadron procedures in place to notify the First Sergeant, Commander, orFamily Support Center. However, the primary emergency contact agency is theAmerican Red Cross (ARC). When your family member calls the ARC they willneed to provide the following information: your name, rank, and location. The ARCwill verify the emergency and contact you and the family member as soon as possible.
Living Wills
Incorrect next-of-kin addresses may delaynotification in case of an emergency.

Team Integrity/Accountability Ref AFI 10-403, AFI 10-215Most every member of the Air Force is deployable. In the majority of cases you willdeploy as a group, usually from your home installation, and be processed by theprocedures below. However, there will be instances when you deploy by yourselfor in a small group and do not follow these procedures. In those cases contact yourPersonal Readiness Unit for specific deployment details.
Deployment positions are identified to support alltypes of contingency operations. These positionsform into chalks when they arrive at the PersonnelDeployment Function
Troop commanders (officers or enlisted) are assignedto each chalk. Keeping track of personnel on theirchalk during the deployment process is theirresponsibility
Each chalk will process through finance, legal, familysupport, medical, personnel, and the base chaplain
After processing, a Personnel Accountability Kit is givento the troop commander. This kit contains necessarypersonal information about your chalk
At the deployed location, a PERSCO team will collectthe Personnel Accountability Kit and in-brief yourchalk
Lodging representatives will make tent and bedassignments based on security, team integrity, andgender. Do not switch beds or tents without approval

Rules of Engagement Ref DOD 5100.7, CJCSI 3121.01Rules of Engagement (ROE) are issued by command authorities and describe thecircumstances and limitations under which we can start or continue militaryoperations. They are normally incorporated into every operations plan (OPLAN)and operational order (OPORD). ROE are the way our commanders ensure all ouroperations are carried out in accordance with national policy goals, missionrequirements, and the rule of law. ROE help ensure your respect for the law of armedconflict. Each of us has a duty to understand, remember, and apply ROE.
οΏ½ The use of force in self-defense must be necessary and limited to the amountneeded to eliminate the threat and control the situation
οΏ½ Deadly force should only be used in response to a hostile act or a demonstrationof hostile intent
οΏ½ Deadly force is defined as force that causes or that you know has a substantialrisk of causing death or serious bodily harm
οΏ½ ROE questions and concerns should be promptly elevated up the chain ofcommand for resolution
οΏ½ Failure to comply with ROE may be punishable under the Uniform Code ofMilitary Justice
In armed conflict, the law of armedconflict and ROE specifically tailoredfor each mission of Area ofResponsibility (AOR) provideguidance on the use of force.
In peacetime, the CJCS Standing ROEgive direction on the use of force inself-defense against a hostile act orhostile intent against you, your unit,other friendly forces, and otherpersons or property you are orderedto protect.
ROE do not limit your inherent right to use all means necessary andappropriate for personal or unit self defense!

To prevent unnecessary suffering, destruction, and death during armed conflicts,countries have agreed to place some limits on the actions of military forces. Thislaw-Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC)-includes the Geneva and Hague Conventions,other treaties, and international customs. Although LOAC is intended to applyonly during armed conflict, it is the policy of the U.S. that our forces operate incompliance with LOAC in all operations. Failure to comply may be punishableunder the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Doβ¦οΏ½ Use the amount of force required to complete your mission and
counter hostile acts or hostile intentοΏ½ Fight those combatants declared hostile

Host NationSensitivitiesPrior to departing your home base you must consider where you are going. Keep inmind that it may not be even remotely similar to the United States. Many peopledeploy and are surprised to find several of their rights, freedoms, and customs arenot accepted or recognized. It will be to your benefit to know as much as possibleabout your host nation. It would be virtually impossible to list all the potentialcountries and their laws and customs in this manual. So, consider the followingtopics as a starting point.
οΏ½ Religion-not all countries guarantee religious freedomοΏ½ Dress and Appearance-what may be acceptable in the
U.S. may be offensive or possibly illegal somewhere elseοΏ½ Literature-be very careful of material that might be
considered pornographicοΏ½ Food Items-many countries have restrictions as to what
can and cannot be brought in, especially tobacco andalcohol
οΏ½ Gender Specific Laws and Customs-women and men maynot have the same rights
οΏ½ Social Customs-do's and don'ts if you find yourself in a social environmentοΏ½ Good information sources include the State Department, your local legal office,
the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI), and Public Affairs.
Remember you are a guest of your host nationand your actions could reflect directly upon the
Air Force and the United States.
Contacts Ref AFI 71-101, Vol 1If you have contact with a host nation local orthird country national and they attempt to extractinformation concerning base operations andorganization, you must report them to the AFOSI.If you do not have a local AFOSI detachmentassigned report it up your chain of command.

Overseas Legal Concerns Ref UCMJ
As a U.S. military member, you must be a good ambassador while serving in foreigncountries. You must understand the pertinent laws and customs in host countriesto properly accomplish the mission.
The Uniform Code of Military Justice(UCMJ) applies wherever U.S. militarymembers are serving in the world.
Many government regulations and U.S. laws applyoverseas, such as LOAC, fiscal and tax laws, andsome criminal laws.
Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) are negotiated between the U.S. governmentand foreign governments regarding U.S. military forces present in the foreigncountry.
οΏ½ If the U.S. has no SOFA or other agreement, host nation laws apply for localmatters
οΏ½ Host nation laws may be very different from U.S. laws and customs
οΏ½ Host nation laws include everything from tax to criminal laws and more
οΏ½ Even when a SOFA exists, some host nation laws still apply to U.S. militarymembers

Be DomesticHow you live when you are deployed has a direct effect on your physical andmental well being.
Keep yourself well groomed. Aside from presenting a professional appearance,personal grooming is healthy. It'll make you feel good in what may be an otherwisemiserable environment. Also, good grooming standards discourage health problemsthat may occur if your attitude is less than what is expected.
Keep your family and friends back home informed. Naturally, you won't be able totell them everything, especially facts about the operation you are on or details ofyour location. But you can reassure them that things are going well and you havea good attitude about what you are doing. This effort will not only make you feelbetter, but will help minimize the worry and concern your family and friends backhome have for you.
Participate in camp activities. Your unit is going to do everything they can to helpyou during your deployment, including provide entertainment and other distractionsto keep you busy during non-duty hours. It's not only good for your morale, butalso the morale of the entire organization. Get involved with camp life. You mayenjoy the experience and be able to significantly contribute to everyone else's wellbeing.
οΏ½ Position feet correctly-Place feet far enoughapart for balance with one foot to the rear ofthe object and the other foot slightly aheadof the other and to the side of the object
οΏ½ Crouch close to the load-Stay close to theload to minimize strain on the lower back. Beforebeginning the lift, be sure the back is straightas possible and back muscles are tightened.These steps prepare the body to accept theload
οΏ½ Pick up materials with a full palm grip-Do not attempt topick up weights with a fingertip grip. Ensure the load isfree of grease or sharp points that could cause injury. Usesuitable gloves at all times
οΏ½ Always keep the back as straight as possible-It may not be possible to keep the back in the vertical plane but avoid arching the back. Keep the back muscles tightened throughout the duration of the lift. Do not relax the back until the load is released. Bend from the hips and not from the middle of the back
οΏ½ Start movement-With the arms, slide the object towardthe body to give it some motion (kinetic energy). At thesame time, use the legs to lift the object and bring theback to a vertical position. Keep the object close to thebody while lifting

Team Lifting is required to move heavy or unusually shaped items. When two ormore people are required to move or carry an object, adjust the load so each personcarries an equal part. Test lifts should be made before proceeding. The key to liftsusing two or more personnel is to make every move in unison. The supervisor andworkers are responsible for assessing all available methods to safely handle materialsand use mechanical assistance whenever possible.
Carrying methods are determined based upon the type of material, distance, andnumber of workers. Workers should be instructed during initial training in eachprocedure-for example: neck, shoulder, side, tray, two-person, and under-arm carrymethods.
οΏ½ Use gloves, safety shoes/boots, hard hat, and any other available safetyequipment when appropriate
οΏ½ Inspect objects for slivers, sharp edges, and rough or slippery surfaces
οΏ½ Keep fingers away from pinch and shear points
οΏ½ Do not carry a load that obstructs the view of the direction of travel. Make surethat the path of travel is clear
οΏ½ Do not turn at the waist to change direction or to put an object down. Turn thewhole body and crouch down to lower the object
οΏ½ When carrying items up or down stairways:
οΏ½ Adhere to the guidance provided by the supervisorοΏ½ Reduce the size of the object carried to allow for maximum visibilityοΏ½ Use assistance when required and available
Combat EnvironmentYou may be going into an environment that will be totally foreign to you. Thenormal safety guidelines you would follow at home may not apply in the field.Consequently, you must be very careful at all times. Flammables, cables everywhere,exposed wires, containers, open light sources (like burning bulbs), ditches, engines,and a lot of other potential hazards will become second nature to you. But don'tever underestimate their potential to hurt you. Safety is everyone's business, andyour number one responsibility.

Place the tent covering over the frame while it is still on the ground. Exercise greatcare so you don't tear the cover. At least four people should place the covering onthe frame.
Next, it's time to raise the tent, one side at a time. Prior to staking the tent sides, pushthe base of the sidewalls towards each other to relieve pressure on the tent doorflap zippers. Then, you stake the tent down straight out from the side. In loose soilor sand, the stakes should be angled towards the tent; in hard soil, the stakesshould be angled away from the tent.

As you are attaching the roof canvas to the ridgepoles, you will also be attachingthe side support poles to complete the roof. At the same time, you will attach thesidewall canvas.
Before raising the tent, place the side poles straight out from their positions andstake them where the poles will be lashed using strong rope. It will take all fourpeople to raise each side of the tent, and each side needs to be secured tightly asyou complete the process.
Lastly, raise the ridgepole by positioning two people on each center support pole(two poles). Lift the poles simultaneously into the upright position. Once the centerpoles are up, stabilize the tent by having the four people on the outside tension theguy ropes on each side pole.

οΏ½ The host nation or your civil engineer disposes ofmost garbage in a common sanitary landfill. This landfill should be locatedsome distance from your encampment and covered with dirt to preventinfestation by rodents and insects
οΏ½ Trash should never be allowed to accumulate within the camp area
All trash should be placed in sturdycontainers, preferably with a lid that can besecured
Pest ControlοΏ½ If not identified and contained quickly, pests in the encampment area or your
personal living area can make you sickβor worse
οΏ½ If you see rodents, wild dogs, other animals, or a large number of insects, tellthe civil engineer or commander through your chain of command

Passive Defense Ref AFH 32-4014, Vol 4
HardeningHardening refers to reinforcing measures taken to reduce the loss of critical resourcesdue to the destructive effects of conventional weapons.
Passive defense includes any measure you take to lessen damage from enemyattack to your installation. Most such measures should be quickly executed,inexpensive, and require minimum manpower and material.
Facilities may alreadyexist that are hardened,such as concretereinforced buildings oraircraft hangars
Hardening could meansandbagging or building earthberms to provide splinterprotection to facilities

Camouflage, Concealment, Deception (CCD) means hiding critical assets from enemyaircraft or ground forces and/or deceiving the enemy into attacking less valuabletargets.
Camouflage-Net for EffectCamouflage nets are used to break up outlines of what you're trying to conceal.
Concealment-Tone Down ColorsPaint can tone down an object to help it blend into the surroundings. Paint the topof buildings to mask patterns and distinct contours.

Deception-Decoys
Inflatable aircraft mock-ups
False operating strips
Inflatable vehical mock-ups
Decoys are used to deceive the enemy and are employed to achieve a variety ofobjectives. Decoys can give the perception that forces and structures are there thatreally are not, or can divert attacking forces away from the real assets. Additionally,decoys are great force multipliers. Decoys can be as simple as outlines painted onthe ground or as sophisticated as inflatable mockups that emit heat and radarsignatures.

οΏ½ Coordinating Dispersal Plans-Not collocating units with targetpotential and not using such areas
οΏ½ Avoiding key facilities
Your commander will be very concerned about your safety and the survivability ofother critical assets, especially from terrorists or larger scale attacks. Consequently,your deployed unit may be widely dispersed, with work centers, supportorganizations, and living quarters not conveniently located.

Contamination Avoidance Ref AFMAN 32-4005Before an attack, do as much as you can to avoid possible consequences ofcontamination in your work or living area. After you have survived an attack andensured that you and your comrades are safe, you need to be aware of anycontamination-all kinds and in any form. Any material or condition that couldadversely effect your environment is contamination and should be avoided-forexample: smoke, lingering sand or soil in the air, pools of water or flammables,downed electrical lines, and obnoxious smells.
οΏ½ Keep vehicle windows rolled up and doorslocked
οΏ½ Close facility windows and tape up cracks
οΏ½ Ensure hatches on unsheltered aircraft areclosed and sealed when possible
οΏ½ Place as much equipment as possible indoors or under cover. If the equipmentcannot be placed under cover, wrap or cover it with plastic sheets, canvas, ortarpaulins. Double up coverings so the top cover-along with any contaminationcan be easily removed and replaced
οΏ½ During an attack, stay under cover to avoid contamination
οΏ½ Do not kneel or sit on the ground. If you have toperform low-level work, squat down versuskneeling
οΏ½ If you see or enter an area that is obviouslycontaminated with some foreign substance-like awhite powdery material after a bomb blast, orsmoke-avoid contact, especially inhaling. Anyunfamiliar material can kill you
οΏ½ Report possible contamination immediately to yourunit control center
LightThe smallest bit of light targets you at night
οΏ½ Do not smoke except when concealed from enemy forces. Keep in mind, ifenemy forces are using night vision devices, you may think you are concealed,but the enemy can still see you smoking
οΏ½ Conceal flashlights or other sources of light during blackout conditions
οΏ½ Use all available concealment-Cover anything that may reflect light(i.e. glass, mirrors, metal)
οΏ½ Camouflage your self, equipment, and vehicles

Noise, Light, Litter Discipline
LitterYou may attract more than the enemy if you litter
οΏ½ Eliminate litter-it's a nuisance and it can also signal your presence
οΏ½ Banish food leftovers and trash from your work areas or defensive fightingpositions-they invite rodents and insects
οΏ½ Establish a litter plan and use/secure collection points
οΏ½ Dispose of litter properly to minimize the chance of disease and bacteria inyour areas of operation
NoiseThe enemy is listening for you-Keep it down
οΏ½ Talking, coughing, sneezing, sniffing, may not seem loud, but these soundsare very distinctive and catch attention easily especially at night
οΏ½ It's each and everyone's responsibility to practice noise discipline continuously
οΏ½ Any time of the day-in darkness or light-noise can enhance friendly or enemyforces in their movement in an attempt to maneuver into a position of advantage
οΏ½ The sound of aircraft flying or engine run-ups can be used as an advantage tothe enemy but a disadvantage to the Air Force
οΏ½ Fill bags three-fourths full with earth or a dry soil-cement mixture. If too full, thebags stay rounded and do not flatten
οΏ½ Tuck in the bottom corners after they are filled
οΏ½ Lay the first course as a header (longdirection of the bags perpendicular to thewall)
οΏ½ Build the wall with alternating courses laid asstretchers (long direction parallel to the wall)and headers with the joints broken betweencourses. The top row should be placed as aheader
οΏ½ Position sandbags so the layers have thesame pitch as the base
οΏ½ Place bag so the tied-off end and side seamsare turned inward away from the threat

Defensive Fighting PositionsTwo categories of defensive fighting positions (DFP) are constructed to provideall-around cover from enemy fire but allow the defender to observe and fire uponenemy forces. DFPs are positioned laterally and in-depth and around base perimeters,flightlines, communication sites, or any Air Force resources requiring security duringhigh-threat situations.
Hasty DFPs
οΏ½ Temporary-Provides partial protection from enemy fire
οΏ½ Select position that provides ample frontal coverage
οΏ½ Should be a small depression or hole that is at least 18 inches deep

Field CommunicationsA reliable deployed communications system is essential to mission accomplishmentand maintaining high moral. Depending on your location your primary means ofvoice communication will be standard western-style phones, cellular phones, andtwo-way radios (see page 69 for radio use). If you encounter non western-stylephones, your communications support agency should be able to provide instructionson their use. Another form of communication at your disposal will be e-mail. Makesure you follow established guidelines on the use of e-mail.
Local Calling
οΏ½ Upon arrival you will be briefed on the available phone system and its use
οΏ½ If not, contact your local communications support team for assistance
Long Distance Calling
οΏ½ Your deployed location will most likely beconnected to the Defense SwitchedNetwork (DSN)
οΏ½ Use the DSN for official business or in theinterest of the government calls only
οΏ½ At the discretion of your commander, theDSN may be used for morale calls
οΏ½ You should deploy with a calling card or credit card for making personal longdistant calls
Video Phones
οΏ½ Your location may have video phones andor desktop Video Teleconferences (VTC)available
οΏ½ Most home bases and even some unitshave their own VTC facilities available sothat your family members can contact you
οΏ½ Contact your First Sergeant for the locationand use of these facilities

Some situations that may warrant establishment of a cordon are:
οΏ½ Bomb threatοΏ½ Discovery of unexploded ordnanceοΏ½ Natural disasterοΏ½ Aircraft accident/crashοΏ½ Major accidents involving nuclear or
conventional weapons, biological or toxicchemicals, or missile propellants
Cordons are usually marked with rope, tape, and appropriate signs. The size varieswith the type of incident involved and environmental concerns, such as crosswinds;typical cordon sizes are as follows:
Nuclear, conventional weapons or radioactive material
Chemical weapons
Biological agents, toxic industrialchemicals and missile propellants
Where no toxic or explosive materials are involved, size is dictated by the areaaffected and the work area needed by the disaster response force.

Be Suspicious Ref AFMAN 32-4005Hostile governments and terrorist organizations may use improvised explosivedevices (IED) to reach their objectives. The construction of an IED is limited onlyby the imagination of the builder. Therefore, standard identification features do notexist. Like unexploded ordnance (UXO), IEDs come in various shapes and sizes, butthe lethality of an IED is not always determined by its size.
When you discover a suspected IED, react very much as you would to discoveringa UXO:
οΏ½ Be VigilantοΏ½ Be familiar with work center surroundingsοΏ½ Challenge or report unknown personnel
around your work centerοΏ½ Be suspicious of anything out of the
ordinary (protruding wires, abandonedvehicles)
οΏ½ Protect yourself and others
οΏ½ Identify, mark, evacuate, and report the device just as you would any UXO.See page 105 for UXO handling.
Don't risk your life by moving or opening a suspect device!

Reading a Grid Map Ref AFJMAN 24-306
A grid map is used to identify locations using alphanumeric symbols rather thandescriptions, which would take too long to relay even if passed accurately orclearly
Base or operating location maps are standardizedso that everyone sees the facility within a seriesof squares that are labeled for easy reference
Along the bottom of the map, each square is labeled with anumber running consecutively (i.e., 4, 5, and 6)
Along the side of the map, each square is labeledwith a letter or letters that are in familiar order (i.e., D,E, F, and G)
Each square is further subdivided into 10 evenly spaced blocks across the top andside for clarity. These sub-blocks may or may not be marked. If not marked, use yourbest judgment in determining where in the block you are trying to identify a location.
The coordinates of a location are determined by readingacross the map from left to right for the number, andreading from the bottom to the top for the letter.
The number/letter combination is known as the gridcoordinate.
Topographic maps use color and contour lines-refer tomap legend.
Grid coordinate for the"X" is 2.2-C.3

Reporting an Attack
Use the S-A-L-U-T-E report as aquick and effective way tocommunicate enemy informationup the chain of command.
Example of a S-A-L-U-T-E report
"Six enemy soldiers, running away from the command post, headingtowards the flightline. Uniforms solid green fatigues-possiblyRepublic Guards. Time was 0230 hours. Equipment-AK-47 rifles,backpacks and gas mask being carried."
Remember COMSEC-Use the most expedient means necessary/possible for theurgency you place on the information you have to upchannel. If your report needsto get to the commander NOW, use any means available!
οΏ½ Messenger-most secure-most time consuming
οΏ½ Wire/telephone-more secure than radio-not mobile & may be monitored
οΏ½ Radio-fast and mobile-least secure. However, a secure radio lessens thepossibility of being monitored and should always be used over an open net

Seeking ShelterOne of the best and easiest ways to protect yourself from injury during an attack isto take shelter. Most attack related injuries are due to shrapnel, flying debris, andfallout, all of which are avoidable with good sheltering. Your best defense is to putas much distance and mass as possible between you and the detonation.
What to consider when the attack warning is sounded:
Find the best shelter immediately
If overhead protectionis not close by, lie flat,face down on theground
Only remain in low-lying areas as long as necessary-chemical agent vapors migrate to and remain inlow-lying areas
Any building, bunker,or tent is better than theopen ground
Below ground-level shelters (ditches or foxholes)provide still better shelter
The center of the lowest floorprovides the best protectioninside a building
Avoid using potential targets as shelters

οΏ½ Mechanical zero is making adjustments to the sights of the rifle to give theshooter a good starting point. It should only be applied to weapons notpreviously zeroed or to newly assigned weapons
οΏ½ Adjust the front sight up or down until the top of the sight post is 5mm abovethe machine surface of the front sight frame. Use cardstock with five lines, 1mmapart, to conduct mechanical zero
οΏ½ Adjust the rear sight windage knob left or right until the normal range sight(unmarked aperture) is centered
οΏ½ Turn the elevation knob down (CCW) until the rear sight is down to the lastwhole click. Before it bottoms out, turn it up (CW) until it is on the 8/3 mark onthe range scale
οΏ½ Battlesight zero starts out with a mechanically zeroed rifle using 5.56 mm ballammunition. Adjust the sights for elevation and windage as needed
οΏ½ For zeroing on a 25-meter range, turn the elevation knob one click past 8/3 onthe range scale. After zero, set the elevation knob back to the 8/3 mark foractual target distances
οΏ½ Once zero is complete, for target distance greater than 328 yd (300 m), place thecorrect range setting on the elevation knob to obtain the proper point of aim.On your mechanical zero cardstock, write down your battlesight zero for futurereference

οΏ½ Aiming-sight alignment(aligning the front and rearsight) and sight picture (aimingpoint)
οΏ½ Breath Control-when and howlong you need to hold yourbreath while firing is important
οΏ½ Trigger Control-allows you toapply enough pressure on thetrigger to fire the weaponwithout disturbing the sights
οΏ½ Sight Adjustment-the M9pistol does not have adjustablesights. To adjust your fire, youadjust your aiming point. Inother words, you must aim andfire based on where the bulletlast struck. For example, if thelast round hit lower left, youwould aim upper right

Perimeter Defenses Ref AFMAN 32-4005
Base defense operations, regardless of where conducted, are governed by severalkey fundamentals and procedures. These fundamentals and procedures are criticalin sustaining and defending Air Force operations around the globe. As an AirForce member, you could be detailed to augment base defense operations or couldbe placed in a situation that would require you to defend your area of responsibility.
Theaters of Operation-Air Force personnel are called to perform a variety of tasksin diverse theaters, under joint or combined command, with or without host nationsupport, and under adverse conditions. Typical theaters of operations are:
οΏ½ Major Theater War (MTW)-a regionally centered crisis based onsignificant threats to U.S. vital interests in a region that warrants the deploymentof significant forces. Example: Desert Shield/Storm
οΏ½ Small Scale Contingency (SSC)-regionally centered crisis, but with lesscompelling threat than an MRC. Example: The U.S. invasion of Grenada
οΏ½ Military Operations Other than War (MOOTW)-missions outside the purviewof war are considered MOOTW. Example: The UN peacekeeping mission inBosnia
Fundamentals of DefenseFive fundamentals must be considered while conducting Air Force operations in abase defense posture: aggressive, in depth, all-around, integrated, and terrain/critical resources
Aggressive DefenseοΏ½ Enemy has the option as to when, where, and what forces to use. Base defense
commanders must seize and hold the initiative early
οΏ½ Detect enemy from as far away as possible to begin the attrition of his force atthe earliest opportunity before they place direct/indirect fire on an objective
οΏ½ Accomplished using active patrols, sensors, listening posts (LP), andobservation posts (OP)

AFMAN 10-100 1 August 199996
Defense in DepthοΏ½ Units are deployed in depth to prevent an attacker from exploiting a penetration
and positioned to protect key terrain so enemy cannot observe or bring fireupon our operations
οΏ½ Establish blocking positions along likely avenues of approach
οΏ½ Achieved by patrols, listening posts, observation posts, sensors, and staticpositions to deny locations for stand-off weapon systems
All-Around DefenseοΏ½ Generally, a defense is organized around the idea of stopping an attack from a
principal directionοΏ½ Threat may come from any direction including direct assault on the base by
airborne/air landed forces or internal threat from local nationals and civiliansοΏ½ This defense is achieved by positioning forces purposefully to include
supplementary positions and dedicated aerial denial weapons (anti-aircraft)
Integrated DefenseοΏ½ Forces are positioned laterally to provide mutual support
οΏ½ Gaps present a particular problem and can be controlled by sensors, obstacles,planned direct/indirect forces, random patrolling, or physically occupying ifenemy forces threaten
Defense Organized Around Key Terrain/Critical ResourcesοΏ½ Key terrain is any objective that, when occupied, provides a marked advantage
over the opponentοΏ½ Holding key terrain is vital to your defense; failure to secure key terrain will
allow the enemy a position of advantage over your forcesοΏ½ Defense plan should incorporate all known/potential key terrain into the
defensive scheme to the extent your forces are capable of protecting it

Testing for the presence of chemical agents is a critical step in your personaldecontamination process. If you do it correctly, it can save your life. The Air Forcefields a variety of chemical-agent-detection equipment, from the basic M8 and M9paper to the highly sophisticated M22 Automatic Chemical Agent Detector Alarm.Most likely, you will only use the M8 and M9 paper.
M8 PaperThis paper provides a simple way of checking exposed surfaces for the presence ofchemical-agent contamination. It is supplied in booklets of 25 4x2-inch pages ofpaper containing chemical agent sensitive dyes. The cover has a color comparisonchart and describes general use instructions.
Always inspect the M8 paper prior to use:
οΏ½ Discard any paper that showssigns of wetness, wrinkling, dirt,damage, or discoloration
οΏ½ Discard any paper that is out of itsoriginal plastic package if youdidn't just remove it
How to UseοΏ½ Remove one sheet of paper from
the bookletοΏ½ Blot the paper over surfaces
suspected of contamination; donot rub
οΏ½ If an agent is present, coloredblotches will appear on the paperοΏ½ Nerve agents produce
yellow, brown, blue-green,or orange discoloration
οΏ½ Blister agents produce reddiscoloration
οΏ½ Color changes typically occur within seconds at 70-80Β° F (21-26Β° C), but maytake as long as 3 minutes to develop at 32Β° F (0Β° C)

οΏ½ Never use the results from M8/M9 paper as the sole indicator that liquidnerve or blister agents are present. Call your unit control center for verification.
οΏ½ Color change is used to only make an initial assessment of the presence ofliquid nerve or blister agent
οΏ½ A number of chemical compounds produce false-positive responsesοΏ½ M9 paper only indicates a presence, NOT the type

AFMAN 10-100 1 August 1999127
M9 paper, like M8 paper, contains agent-sensitive dyes that change color in thepresence of liquid chemical agents. M9 paper provides a rapid detection of traditionalnerve and mustard agents. It is issued in 30-foot rolls of 2-inch wide paper that isgreen when issued. It may or may not be backed with adhesive.
M9 tape inspection is your responsibility. Discard the roll if:
οΏ½ The shipping bag is torn or openοΏ½ The tape has discoloration, tears, creases,
or dirtοΏ½ The backing separates from the paperοΏ½ The dispenser is crushed, wet, or cutting
edge is missingοΏ½ The expiration date has passed (once
removed from shipping bag, 1 year in temperate, tropic, and desert regions; 2years in frigid zones)
How to UseοΏ½ M9 paper is worn on clothing or attached
to vehicles and equipmentοΏ½ Liquid agent droplets can produce red,
pink, red-brown, red-purple, blue, yellow,green, gray, or black spots
οΏ½ M9 tape's operational range is 32Β° F (0Β° C)to 125Β° F (51Β° C); extreme climaticzones give different reactions-slower incool conditions and false-positivereadings above 160Β° F (71Β° C)

Contamination Control Ref AFMAN 32-4005Contamination control is essential to sustained operations in a chemical and/orbiological environment. If at any time you suspect your protective clothing hasbeen contaminated, proceed to a Contamination Control Area (CCA) as soon aspossible. Your contaminated clothing must be removed and replaced as soon aspossible, but absolutely within 24 hours.
The CCAβ¦οΏ½ Provides controlled entryοΏ½ Limits the spread of contamination into toxic-free areasοΏ½ Offers you a rest and relief shelterοΏ½ Allows you to practice effective contamination avoidance procedures
The exchange of contaminated clothing for clean protective clothing will take placeat the CCA. A small delay before processing into the CCA allows the suits to aerateand reduce cross-contamination hazards in the CCA.
Each CCA hasβ¦
Drop-Off PointThis area offers the first active efforts to reduce bothcontact and vapor hazards
Entrance and Holding AreaοΏ½ Here you will be briefed on the sequence of events
and any emergency response proceduresοΏ½ Provides you a covered area to rest while waiting
to process
Contact Hazard Area (CHA)οΏ½ You will remove the majority of your individual
protective equipment in this area which will reducethe amount of contamination and increase thecontainment of all contact hazards
οΏ½ Sub-areas of the CHA are:οΏ½ Overgarment Aeration/Laundry AreaοΏ½ Contaminated Waste Disposal Area
Section 5 - Survive
AFMAN 10-100 1 August 1999143
Vapor Hazard Area (VHA)The VHA provides the last chance forthe CCA staff to verify you are free ofany type of contamination beforeproceeding to a toxic free area.
Airlock In an open-air configuration, the airlock is a designated transition area between theVHA and a toxic free area
Mask Decontamination andRefurbishment Area.In this area your protective mask willbe decontaminated, refurbished andstored for reissue.
Transition Buffer ZoneThis area provides a buffer zone to prevent vapors form reaching the toxic free area
Toxic-Free AreaοΏ½ A clean environment where you
can rest and recuperate withoutwearing your GCE
οΏ½ Can be on or off the base proper
Casualties are usually moved to a centralized, safe point for emergency treatmentand forwarding, if necessary.
The Casualty Collection Point (CCP) isstaffed by medical and base personnelwho are close to operational forces,evaluate wounds for return to duty,reinforce Self-Aid & Buddy Care (SA/BC) as needed to stabilize casualties,and/or transport wounded to adeployed medical facility for furthercare
The CCP may be an Air Transportable Hospital (ATH),tent, building, an ambulance at a disaster site, or simplya spot on the ground
Shelter is preferable, but not essential
CCP location and use depend on the contingency operation, threat situation, andavailable medical and line (base) personnel
Base personnel-you perhaps-may be tasked to assist the medical staff at the CCP incasualty care management
Upon arrival at your deployed location, familiarize yourself with the local casualtycare protocols and locations
