thermometer and chlorine test paper. The number of thermometers should be increased from 1 to 12 
and the following items added: 2 mosquito light traps, 2 pocket knives, 1 pair of pliers, 1 crate 
opener, 1 battery charger, 3 dry cell batteries, 1 box of ear plugs, 1 6" ruler, 1 folding 
magnifier, 1 can opener, 2 clipboards, 1 dozen felt tip markers, 1 dozen ball point pens, 2 dozen 
steno notebooks, 2 lecture writing pads, 1 dozen writing pads, and 2 holding thermometers. 
 
		c. Patient Contamination Control Table of Allowance: Water pressure was a problem. 
The light weight decontamination apparatus is not required. It is heavy and bulky to airlift. It 
was recommended that 2 water bladders (1 for backup), a small pump and hoses be used. Add the 
rescue safety knife. Increase the number of aprons from 12 to 30, Chemical Agent Monitors (CAMs) 
from 2 to 4, waste receptacles from 8 to 12, water basins and basin stands from 8 to 12, folding 
chairs from 6 to 12, and mesh litters from 2 to 12 (rewrite procedure to use only mesh litters 
and eliminate all litter changes except when the patient arrives on a non-mesh litter). Decrease 
the number of large chemical protective suits and increase by a like number the small and medium 
suits. If possible replace the ANPDR 27 with an alpha monitor. Delete the sodium bicarbonate. 
 
		d. TAC Merit Plan Training Equipment: Asterisk the toxic chemicals and indicate they 
may be simulated. Add a bladder, hoses and pump so personnel can train with them. Increase 
scissors from 2 to 12, and mesh litters from 2 to 4. Add the rescue safety knife. 
 
		e. Transportation Needs: MSgt MacDonald will pursue identifying 1 vehicle to meet the 
needs of BEE and EH through the same route that other ATH vehicles are authorized. 
 
		f. References and Forms: Seven forms were identified that should be deleted from the 
list of forms the ATH maintains. TAC Regulation 400-10, Medical Mobility, contains excellent 
guidance. The group felt they should have been more familiar with this directive. The group 
decided that Military Standards used in the inspection of food establishments should be 
maintained at HQ TAC/SGPM and information requested as needed. 
 
	13. Future Training Needs: The Air Force now has considerable experience base for On the 
Job Training. We must use OREs effectively. Ensure 908X0s inspect food and food serving 
facilities during these exercises. Major Stedman and TSgt Cooper will draft foodborne illness 
exercises for use during OREs and ORIs. HQ TAC/SGPM will request that USAFS~M/EDZ develop a 
course for patient contamination control team members. Team members must be permanently assigned 
and well trained during exercises. Reservists need better training in peacetime tasks.
