4 t <p><b><font>4. You have just completed a company FTX. You were assigned as the team leader for the nonhazardous solid waste disposal detail. During the FTX site recovery planning meeting, your commander asked you to explain the primary options for nonhazardous solid waste disposal. </font></b></p><p><font><font>How do you respond to your commander? </font></font></p> Uploading Image...	t <p><b><font><font>The primary options for disposal of nonhazardous solid waste in the field are burning, burial, or </font></font></b><font><font><b>backhauling.</b> Within the United States all solid waste generated during field exercises must be backhauled </font></font><font><font>to garrison or picked up by contractors. During overseas training exercises, host-nation requirements must </font></font><font><font>be followed which normally require the same policies of backhauling or contract disposal. If incineration, </font></font><font><font>burning, or landfilling is used during contingency operations, additional security measures must be taken to</font></font></p><p><font><font>deter scavenging by local populations.</font></font></p> Uploading Image...	t Uploading Image...	t R
5 t <p><b><font>5. You are feeling excellent about all the recommendations you have provided to your commander. Planning for the FTX is going just as expected. The last task is to designate a perfect location for your latrines. </font></b></p><p><font><font>What are some of the considerations for the placement of latrines? </font></font></p> Uploading Image...	t <p><font><font>Considerations for the placement of latrines. Latrines must be:</font></font></p><p> </p><p><font><font>1) Located at least 300 feet (100 yards) downwind and downhill from unit food service facilities and at least </font></font><font><font>100 feet from any unit ground water source.</font></font></p><p> </p><p><font><font>2) Latrines are not dug to the ground water level or in places where pit contents may drain into the</font></font></p><p><font><font>water source.</font></font></p><p> </p><p><font><font>3) Located upwind of burn pits and landfills.</font></font></p><p> </p><p><font><font>4) Lighted at night if the tactical situation permits, or staked off with rope or tape to serve as a </font></font><font><font>guide.</font></font></p><p> </p><p><font><font>5) Built at least 100 feet from border of the unit billeting areas but within a reasonable distance for </font></font><font><font>easy access for troops.</font></font></p><p> </p><p><font><font>6) A handwashing device is installed outside each latrine enclosure; these devices should be easy to </font></font><font><font>operate and kept full of water.</font></font></p><p> </p><p><font><font>7) Dig a drainage ditch around the edges of the latrine to keep out rainwater and other surface</font></font></p><p><font><font>water.</font></font></p><p> </p><p><b><font><font>Note. </font></font></b><font><font>Chemical and containerized latrines must be placed so that service vehicles can access</font></font></p><p><font><font>them for waste removal and cleaning.</font></font></p><p> </p><p><font><font>For planning purposes, the number of latrines should be based on one toilet and urinal per 25 male </font></font><font><font>Soldiers (1/25 or 4%), or one toilet per 17 female Soldiers (1/17 or 6%).</font></font></p> Uploading Image...	t Uploading Image...	t R
6 t <p><b><font>6. You are a part of the command team assigned to 61MMB. Your company was tasked to participate in the ongoing contingency operations. Which of the following latrines are most suited for this type of mission? </font></b></p><p><font><font>Cat-Hole latrines, Portable latrines, Chemical latrines or Containerized latrines </font></font></p> Uploading Image...	t <p><b><font><font>Containerized latrines are the preferred means of </font></font></b><font><font><b>human waste disposal during contingency operations.</b> </font></font><font><font>The containerized latrine system, normally a component of Force Provider units, consists of six </font></font><font><font>privacy stalls with low-water flush toilets, a trough urinal, two waste collection tanks (urinal and toilet </font></font><font><font>waste are stored in separate tanks), two sinks with running hot and cold water, a six-gallon water heater, </font></font><font><font>mirrors, and dispensers for toilet paper, paper towels and soap. An </font></font><font><font>environmental control unit installed in the rear wall regulates internal temperature, and ventilation systems </font></font><font><font>installed in the front wall and ceiling reduce odor. The containerized latrine system provides a private </font></font><font><font>latrine facility with increased sanitation for 150 Soldiers.</font></font></p> Uploading Image...	t Uploading Image...	t R

8 t <p>8A. Heat Injury: <font>Exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet radiation without protection from clothing or sunscreen. </font></p> Uploading Image...	t <p><b>Sunburn</b></p><p> </p><p><font><font>Sunburn is caused by exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet radiation without protection from clothing or </font></font><font><font>sunscreen. Over exposure to ultraviolet radiation can kill the cells that form the skin which is the body’s </font></font><font><font>first line of defense for climatic exposure and infection. It can prevent effective sweating and increase a </font></font><font><font>Soldiers risk for heat injury. Symptoms include edema, itching, peeling skin, rash, nausea, fever, syncope</font></font></p><p><font><font>(fainting), and either first or second degree burns. </font></font></p><p><b><font><font>Note. </font></font></b><font><font>Soldiers must use Army approved sunscreen to protect exposed skin in any climate</font></font></p><p><font><font>whether hot or cold. Army approved sunscreen can prevent sunburn and reduce the risk of skin</font></font></p><p><font><font>cancers when used in accordance with the instructions on the product label.</font></font></p> Uploading Image...	t Uploading Image...	t R
9 t <p>8B. Heat Injury: <font>Medical Emergency; to prevent permanent physiological damage or death, the Soldier’s condition must be quickly identified and treatment must begin immediately. </font></p> Uploading Image...	t <p><b>Heat Stroke</b></p><p> </p><p><font><font>Heat stroke is the result of the body’s heat balance mechanism collapsing and the primary method of </font></font><font><font>heat loss (cooling by evaporation of sweat) is shut down. Early signs of heat stroke include headache, </font></font><font><font>dizziness, delirium (mental confusion), weakness, nausea, vomiting, and excessive warmth; however, </font></font><font><font>sweating may or may not be absent. The most significant sign of heat stroke is a body core temperature of </font></font><font><font>over 106 degrees Fahrenheit with a rectal temperature exceeding 108 degrees </font></font><font><font>Fahrenheit. Although the casualty may first progress through the symptoms of heat </font></font><font><font>cramps or heat exhaustion, the onset of heat stroke may occur with dramatic suddenness with collapse and </font></font><font><font>loss of consciousness. Profound coma is usually present and convulsions may occur. In the past, heat </font></font><font><font>stroke victims were described as always having hot, red, dry skin. However it has been found that some</font></font></p><p><font><font>heat stroke victims may just as often as not be moist from sweat. Therefore, upon initial evaluation, the </font></font><font><font>skin cannot be the differentiating factor in deciding on the degree of the heat injury. Soldiers who have </font></font><font><font>suffered from only one attack remain very susceptible to repeated heat injuries. Therefore, these </font></font><font><font>individuals should avoid subsequent exposure to hot weather conditions.</font></font></p> Uploading Image...	t Uploading Image...	t R
10 t <p>8C. Heat Injury: <font>Caused by restrictive clothing, excessive sweating, and inadequate hygiene. </font></p> Uploading Image...	t <p><b>Heat Rash</b></p><p> </p><p><font><font>Heat rash (prickly heat) is caused by restrictive clothing, excessive sweating, and inadequate</font></font></p><p><font><font>hygiene. It can develop when sweat ducts become blocked and swell and often leads to discomfort and </font></font><font><font>itching. Heat rash can prevent effective sweating and increase a Soldiers risk for heat injury. Heat rash </font></font><font><font>looks like dots or tiny pimples. The affected areas can get irritated by clothing or scratching. In rare cases, </font></font><font><font>a secondary skin infection my present itself and in that case look for signs of infection.</font></font></p><p> </p><p> </p> Uploading Image...	t Uploading Image...	t R
