00:14.180 --> 00:16.291
Burn stands for chemical biological ,

00:16.291 --> 00:18.291
radiological and nuclear , which is

00:18.291 --> 00:20.291
sometimes referred to as weapons of

00:20.291 --> 00:22.402
mass destruction or WM DS . It's also

00:22.402 --> 00:24.559
used as a catch all term referring to

00:24.569 --> 00:26.347
any of the things that we do in

00:26.347 --> 00:28.569
relation to defending ourselves against

00:28.569 --> 00:30.736
those capabilities , whether it be sea

00:30.736 --> 00:33.540
burn classes or seaborn defense actions

00:33.549 --> 00:36.849
or equipment . My name is a one C

00:36.860 --> 00:39.082
hepper and I am an emergency management

00:39.082 --> 00:41.193
apprentice . We are defending against

00:41.193 --> 00:43.304
chemical agents that can harm or hurt

00:43.304 --> 00:45.416
the body , biological agents that can

00:45.416 --> 00:47.409
alter how your body works . Uh

00:47.419 --> 00:49.840
Radiological things that can also harm

00:49.849 --> 00:51.793
your body on a radiation level and

00:51.793 --> 00:53.905
nuclear . We're just making sure that

00:53.905 --> 00:56.220
everybody stays safe and protected in

00:56.229 --> 00:58.930
environments where those agents are

00:58.939 --> 01:01.560
highly likely to be around or be used

01:01.569 --> 01:05.559
by the enemy mop .

01:05.699 --> 01:08.279
Gear is kind of the term that people

01:08.290 --> 01:10.669
refer to it by the official name is the

01:10.680 --> 01:14.470
Js List suit which consists of both

01:14.480 --> 01:18.120
the M 50 mask along with the protective

01:18.129 --> 01:20.040
overshoot itself , along with

01:20.050 --> 01:22.900
protective rubber boots and gloves .

01:22.910 --> 01:26.180
The term mop comes from mission

01:26.190 --> 01:28.419
oriented protective posture , which

01:28.430 --> 01:30.889
refers to as mop levels which range

01:30.900 --> 01:33.230
from mop ready , which is simply having

01:33.239 --> 01:35.559
your gear all the way up to mop four ,

01:35.569 --> 01:38.419
which is full suit with mask , gloves

01:38.430 --> 01:41.750
and boots . Some of the other equipment

01:41.760 --> 01:45.639
that the average individual will use M

01:45.650 --> 01:48.510
eight paper and M nine paper or

01:48.519 --> 01:50.709
commonly called M nine tape equipment

01:50.720 --> 01:52.720
acts as a detection capability . It

01:52.720 --> 01:55.129
reacts to chemical agents and changes

01:55.139 --> 01:58.019
color allowing the average user who

01:58.029 --> 02:00.629
isn't a specialist in this career field

02:00.639 --> 02:02.806
to be able to identify the presence or

02:02.806 --> 02:06.599
absence of contamination by the average

02:06.610 --> 02:08.554
user being able to at least get an

02:08.554 --> 02:10.570
initial identification of what the

02:10.580 --> 02:14.270
threat is . This enables both them to

02:14.279 --> 02:16.335
have an idea of what they need to be

02:16.335 --> 02:18.335
worried about , but also gives more

02:18.335 --> 02:20.557
information and the more information we

02:20.557 --> 02:22.668
can get from across the base and gets

02:22.668 --> 02:24.668
reported back to us . Helps us make

02:24.668 --> 02:26.723
recommendations to the commanders as

02:26.723 --> 02:28.668
far as mop level defensive posture

02:28.668 --> 02:29.250
actions that we need to take .
