a mission (training, field exercise, deployment, etc.) (before, during and after) or at
least every 30 days (use your unit standard) if the equipment has not been used or is
currently unassigned. ICAMs must be PMCSed every week to ensure serviceability.
B. Operators will perform PMCS IAW the standards in the appropriate operator TM.
Operators will not disassemble equipment beyond the level authorized in the
equipment operator manual.
C. Operators will record the results of the PMCS on a DA Form 5988-E provided by the
CBRN NCO. If no faults are found, the operator will indicate this by annotating the
date of the PMCS and his/her initials on the DA Form 5988-E. If faults are found, the
operator will annotate the PMCS item number from the TM and will describe the
fault clearly on the DA Form 5988-E. Operators will inform their squad leader or
first line supervisor and the CBRN NCO of any faults found during PMCS.
D. Operators will maintain a copy of the DA Form 5988-E showing the date and the
results of the most recent operator level PMCS on each assigned piece of equipment.
They will be stored with the piece of equipment.
E. The CBRN NCO will take corrective actions on any faults found by operators during
PMCS. Corrective actions must be initiated within 72 hours of the reporting of a
fault. Corrective actions may include repair of the fault, requisitioning of repair parts,
or evacuation to Direct Support (DS) level maintenance.
F. The CBRN NCO will annotate corrective actions taken on the DA Form 5988-E and
then request a new DA Form 5988-E from the unit’s SAMS-E Clerk. Uncorrected
faults should be entered into the SAMS-E system and should show up on the new DA
Form 5988-E. If repair parts are required, the CBRN NCO will follow the procedures
for repair parts management in this SOP. If the equipment requires DS level
maintenance, the CBRN NCO will request the unit SAMS-E Clerk to prepare a DA
Form 5990-E (or DA Form 2407) maintenance request and will submit it to DS
maintenance IAW the DS unit’s external SOP.
G. Quality control procedures:
1) First line leaders will ensure that all equipment issued to their subordinates are
maintained at 10/20 standards. They will accomplish this through proper
supervision of their subordinates maintenance and training.
2) The CBRN NCO will verify the maintenance of the company’s platoons.
They will conduct spot checks of monthly maintenance as well as recovery
9
operations. Spot checks may be made in conjunction with Sergeant’s Time
Training. If maintenance is deficient, implement a train the trainer program.
H. Maintenance schedule (Example):
1) Weekly maintenance will follow the following schedule:
Week 1: Masks/ICAM
Week 2: Radiac/ICAM
Week 3: Chemical Detection/ICAM
Week 4: ICAM/Shelf Life Items Inspection
2) This schedule will be announced in the weekly company-training schedule. It
may be modified with the commander’s permission. The intent is to PMCS
every piece of CBRN equipment monthly.
3) Platoon sergeants will return all DA Form 5988s to the CBRN NCO NLT
0900 on Tuesday of that work week.
4) Remember, to attain 10/20 standards, all faults must be fixed or have parts on
a valid requisition!
6. UNIT LEVEL PMCS (scheduled services):
A. The CBRN NCO IAW the applicable unit level technical manual for each type of
equipment will supervise unit level PMCS. Services will be conducted at the platoon
level under the direct supervision of the CBRN NCO.
B. Unit level PMCS (scheduled services) will be entered in the unit’s SAMS-E system (if
you are using DD Form 314, explain how/why) for scheduling and tracking purposes.
The interval for the service for each type of equipment is determined by referring to the
unit level equipment TM. For masks, unit level services are performed semiannually.
C. The CBRN NCO will request a services due report at the beginning of each month from
the unit’s SAMS-E clerk in order to track the service due dates for assigned equipment.
The CBRN NCO will then produce a schedule for mask services to provide to the 1SG.
The 1SG will review the schedule with Platoon Sergeants to identify and resolve any
conflicts with other scheduled events. The 1SG will return the schedule, with all
necessary changes, to the CBRN NCO. Platoon Sergeants will ensure that one soldier is
available to assist with each crew served weapon service on the date scheduled.
D. CBRN NCOs will perform the scheduled service on the date it is due or within a 10%
variance of that date as authorized by DA PAM 750-8. (Example- for semiannual
services performed every 180 days, the 10% variance allows the services to be performed
up to 18 days before or 18 days after the scheduled due date.) The CBRN NCO will
10
record the date the service was actually performed and the results of the scheduled service
on a DA Form 5988-E provided by the SAMS-E Clerk for each piece of equipment. The
date of completion and any faults found will then be entered into the SAMS-E system in
order to provide an updated SAMS-E services due report at the beginning of the
following month and to ensure that faults identified and parts ordered will show up on the
next DA Form 5988-E printed for each piece of equipment.
E. A new DA Form 5988-E will be used for each semiannual service to allow the CBRN
NCO to review faults currently entered in the SAMS-E system and repair parts currently
on order. The CBRN NCO will maintain a copy of the DA Form 5988-E showing the
date and results of the most recent unit level service for each assigned piece of
equipment.
F. The CBRN NCO will take corrective actions on any faults found during scheduled
services. Corrective actions must be initiated within 72 hours of the finding the fault.
Corrective actions may include repair of the fault, requisitioning of repair parts, or
evacuation to Direct Support (DS) level maintenance.
G. The CBRN NCO will annotate corrective actions taken on the DA Form 5988-E and then
request a new DA Form 5988-E from the unit’s SAMS-E Clerk. Uncorrected faults
should be entered into the SAMS-E system and should show up on the new DA Form
5988-E. If repair parts are required, the CBRN NCO will follow the procedures for repair
parts management in this SOP. If the equipment requires DS level maintenance, the
CBRN NCO will request the unit’s SAMS-E Clerk to prepare a DA Form 5990-E
maintenance request and will submit it to DS maintenance IAW the DS unit’s external
SOP. For equipment turned in to the 296th BSB, use the manual forms (DA Form 2404
and 2407) per their external SOP.
H. Quality control procedures:
1) The CBRN NCO is responsible for ensuring the thoroughness of semiannual
mask services. He/she will inspect all masks before completing services.
2) The company maintenance officer (XO) will spot check the thoroughness of
all services. This task may be delegated to a senior NCO or platoon leader.
7. SUPPLY ACCOUNTABILITY:
A. The unit CBRN NCO will sign for all equipment stored in the CBRN room within 30
days of assuming duties as CBRN NCO. A copy of this hand receipt, signed by both the
CBRN NCO and the commander will be maintained in the CBRN room, as well as all
applicable change documents.
B. When CBRN equipment is signed out of the CBRN room to their assigned
platoon/operator, the entire system will be issued. Preprinted DA Form 2062s will be
11
utilized to account for all items issued. Preprinted DA Form 2062s will be maintained in
the CBRN room for each type of equipment that is issued as a system. This will allow
rapid but accurate issue of these systems. Items to be included on the DA Form 2062s
may include COEI items, BII items, AAL items, and expendable/durable supplies. Lists
of these items are found in equipment operator manuals and unit level manuals. All
equipment will be issued with a DA Form 5988-E. The CBRN NCO will verify after
PMCS has been performed before accepting any equipment.
C. Masks will be hand receipted to the user on DA Form 2062 IAW FL Reg 725-1. They
will be updated semiannually, generally in conjunction with mask services. The
individual soldier will demonstrate proper storage procedures upon receipt of the mask.
D. The CBRN NCO will ensure that all authorized COEI and BII for assigned equipment are
on hand and serviceable or on a valid supply request. NSNs for COEI and BII are listed
in equipment operator manuals.
E. Unit equipment will only be signed out to members of the unit. Any requests for
equipment from outside the unit will be reported to the Supply Sergeant and the
Commander for approval. If approved by the commander, equipment issued to other
units will be signed out on DA Form 3161s. The CBRN NCO and the unit Supply
Sergeant will maintain copies of any such temporary hand receipts.
F. Whenever the CBRN room hand receipt holder will be absent from the unit for more than
30 days, a change of custody is required. The initial hand receipt holder and the new
hand receipt holder will conduct a joint inventory of all assigned equipment and the new
hand receipt holder (generally the enlisted alternate) will sign for the equipment prior to
the departure of the initial hand receipt holder.
8. SAFETY GUIDANCE FOR CBRN EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE:
A. All soldiers are responsible for the safe handling, operation, and maintenance of CBRN
equipment in their possession.

Annex C (Environmental/Safety Issues) to Your Unit CBRN GARRISON SOP
1. The primary regulation for environmental compliance on Ft. Lewis is FL Reg. 200-1 (FEB
02). This is available at https://ft.lewis.army.mil.
2. The primary POC for questions pertaining to environmental compliance on Ft. Lewis is the
Environmental Services Office – BLDG. 1206 (966-1598)
3. The unit will have a hazard communication station set up IAW FL Reg. 200-1 in an area
accessible to all soldiers who work with or come in contact with hazardous materials. This
station will include a complete and current inventory of all stored HAZMATs, MSDSs for all
HAZMATs, and a spill response plan.
4. All soldiers are responsible for safe handling of HAZMATs and are required to support the
unit’s environmental compliance efforts. Soldiers will be trained on proper handling,
storage, and disposal of HAZMATs prior to use.
5. Hazardous materials will be stored IAW the MSDS. No HAZMATs will be stored or
transferred into unlabeled or mislabeled containers. Flammable materials will be stored in a
flameproof locker.
6. No HAZMATs or hazardous waste will be disposed of in trash receptacles. Hazardous waste
will not be accumulated in work areas. They will be turned in to the unit’s hazardous waste
technician daily.
7. There are numerous requirements for the safe storage and handling of batteries for CBRN
equipment. Battery storage may be consolidated in the company Commo shop to simplify
this management issue. Soldiers or supervisors who draw electronic devices from the CBRN
room for use will report to the company Commo shop for the issue of batteries. When the
mission is complete, all batteries will be removed from the device and turned in to the
company Commo shop prior to returning the device to the CBRN room. The unit CBRN
NCO may retain a small quantity of batteries on hand in the CBRN room for testing of
electronic devices and for emergency issue. If batteries are stored in the CBRN room, the
provisions of SB11-6, TB 43-0134, FL Reg. 200-1, and FL SOP 385-1 apply. The CBRN
NCO must read, understand, and adhere to the requirements in these references. A copy of
these references should be kept on file wherever batteries are stored in the unit.
8. Radiation Safety
A. All radioactive sources are regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
B. The NRC Form 3 must be posted when operators and unit maintenance works can see it.
C. Reporting Radiation Incidents
2
1) Report any suspected lost or damaged items to your unit radiation safety officer
(RSO).
2) If the RSO is not available, contact the installation RSO (Post safety office) at 9673079. If you cannot reach the installation RSO, contact TACOM-ACALA at DSN
793-6499 (duty hours) or DSN 793-6135 after duty hours.
3) Describe the reporting scheme within your unit
9. Responding to Radiation Incidents
1) Stop all activity. Clear all personnel to an upwind area.
2) Use CBRN gloves during recovery operations
3) Locate and recover damaged cells. Double bag before moving equipment. Do not
transport in POV.
4) Seek further guidance from your BN Radiation Safety Officer (RSO).
10. Battery storage and disposal
Refer to FL Reg 200-1, FL SOP 385-1, TB 43-0134, and SB 11-6 for detailed information on
battery storage and disposal. Some key points are:
Do not leave batteries installed in equipment when not in use.
Ensure batteries are listed on the unit hazardous materials inventory.
Ensure MSDSs for batteries are posted at the unit HAZCOM station.
Refer to the MSDS and the equipment operator manual for warnings about
batteries.
Store batteries in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
Store batteries separately from other hazardous materials.
Have separate storage for batteries of different types. (lithium, alkaline, lead-acid,
etc.)
Have separate storage for new, used, and discharged batteries.
Turn in discharged batteries as hazardous waste. Do not throw batteries in the
trash.
11. Banana Oil:
A. Is not an alternative method to checking the protective mask during the fit test. The only
authorized test for mask fittings is the M41 PATS.
B. It must be kept in a yellow HAZMAT wall locker due to its flash point.

C. The MSDS for the banana oil and all the other hazardous material MSDS will be posted
on the CBRN room door.
12. M22 ACADA:
A. The M22 ACADA contains two x 10 millicuries of Nickel 63 (Ni 63). Ni 63 is a beta
emitter with an energy level of .067 MEV and has a half-life of 96 years.
B. The beta level of Ni 63 is too low to penetrate the dead layer of skin, so personnel
working near Ni 63 are unlikely to receive significant exposure. The beta particles can do
internal damage to the body. Personnel will take precautions to avoid accidentally
ingesting, inhaling, or allowing Ni 63 absorption through broken skin.
C. Operators must be trained in the hazards associated with Ni-63. Document this training
in the CBRN Room.
D. Do not attempt to open the M22. If the ACADA is broken or cracked, place it in a
doubled plastic bag and notify the Company CBRN NCO. The Company. CBRN NCO
will notify the Battalion CBRN NCO or the local Radiation Protection Officer.

Support Units when they perform maintenance.
F. If personnel make skin contact decontaminate immediately with nonabrasive soap and
water. Monitor the individual with beta detection equipment to ensure complete
contamination.
G. Store the M22 in an approved fireproof wall locker or container.
H. Construct a map showing the specific room where the unit stores M22 ACADAs and
ICAMs. Forward a copy of the map to the through the Battalion RSO/ Battalion CBRN
NCO to the Post Fire Department (see example below).
I. Post “Radioactive Material” signs on the container and door to the room where the unit
stores M22 ACADAs.
J. Ensure that personnel attempting to fight fires stand upwind of the radioactive sources
until firefighters arrive on the scene. Notify firefighters of the presence of radioactive
materials.
K. Secure all radioactive sources daily. Sign out all equipment on a DA Form 2062. Brief
personnel who sign out equipment on proper storage procedures for the equipment
outside of the CBRN Room.

AN/PDR-75 unless there is a person nearby who is familiar with its operation and
hazards.
B. The AN/PDR-75 emits a high intensity, ultraviolet light during operation. Do not operate
the DEPRESS FOR READING switch when the drawer is open unless specifically
instructed to do so.
C. One DT 236 per soldier is authorized IAW FL Reg. 725-1.
14. IMPROVED CHEMICAL AGENT MONITOR (ICAM):
A. The Improved Chemical Agent Monitor contains 10 millicuries of Nickel 63 (Ni 63). Ni
63 is a beta emitter with an energy level of .067 MEV and has a half-life of 96 years.
B. The beta level of Ni 63 is too low to penetrate the dead layer of skin, so personnel
working near Ni 63 are unlikely to receive significant exposure. The beta particles can do
internal damage to the body. Personnel will take precautions to avoid accidentally
ingesting, inhaling, or allowing Ni 63 absorption through broken skin.
C. Do not attempt to open the Improved Chemical Agent Monitor. If the Improved
Chemical Agent Monitor is broken or cracked, place it in a doubled plastic bag and notify
the Company CBRN NCO. The Company CBRN NCO will notify the Battalion CBRN
NCO or the local Radiation Protection Officer.
D. If personnel make skin contact decontaminate immediately with nonabrasive soap and
water. Monitor the individual with beta detection equipment to ensure complete
contamination.
E. Store the Improved Chemical Agent Monitor in an approved fireproof wall locker or
container.

Annex G (Sustainment Training Requirements) to Your Unit CBRN GARRISON SOP
1. Conduct all CBRN training with the understanding that CBRN weapons affect the
environment as do natural conditions (i.e., rain, snow, or darkness). The issue is not if the
soldier can don his/her mask in 9 seconds and be in MOPP level 4 in eight minutes but rather
can he/she perform his/her duties effectively while wearing MOPP gear. CBRN training will
be as realistic as possible but must be safe.
2. Accomplish the following training/testing/evaluations:
3. An annual mask confidence exercise.
4. Annual CBRN Certification.
5. BN CBRN NCOs will select CBRN tasks.
6. Soldiers perform each task. Soldiers will not “talk through” each task.
7. The uniform for the testing is MOPP 1 or MOPP 2, modified for the
weather conditions. Soldiers receive a GO or NO GO. This provides the
commander with a “snapshot” of his/her company’s CBRN proficiency and a basis for training
planning.
8. The mask confidence exercise can be conducted with CBRN proficiency testing.
9. CBRN equipment operators will be trained once a quarter, at a minimum. All training will be
documented. This includes operators conducting maintenance IAW the appropriate TM.
