           TO IID.(M) OPORD SCORPION DANGER

           first dressing station is operational. 101st FSB, lst IDCM)
           coordinates with Lancer Battalion in their sector. 498th FSBI 3d
           Bde coordinates with UK units in their sector.

                      (g) (U) F Co, 701st MSB will evacuate and treat
           non-urgent casualties screened by the clearing companies at the
           CSHS. The majority of these soldiers will be expected to Return
           to Duty (RTD) within 72 hours. Some will be battle stress
           casualties. The 531st Medical Company (OM) (Psychiatric) will
           augment F Co, 701st with a detachment capable of holding 40
           battle stress casualties. F Co, 701st MSB must be prepared to
           evacuate soldiers from the CSHs in non-medical transportation
           assets. Establishment of 160 cats is required. Be prepared to
           reconstitute the FSB medical companies as required.

                     (G)- ENEMY PRISONERS OF WAR (EPW): Capturing units are
           responsible for medical care of EPWS. Captured medical personnel
           and supplies will be used for this medical care. 818th Medical

                 d. (U) CHEMICAL CASUALTIES: Units must be prepared to
           treat chemically contaminated soldiers (see Tab I). Not all
           chemical wounds are URGENT.   MEDEVAC will not fly into a known
           chemically contaminated area. Field decontamination of the
           casualty is the mini@m requirement for ground or air
           evacuation. Chemical casualties will be handled in the following
           fashion:

                 (1) (U) All suspected and confirmed chemical casualties
hemical
           Casualty Collection Point extablishad 75 meters downwind from the
           Battalion Aid Station (BAS). The unit with suspected or
           confirmed chemical casualties will notify the BAS (on the
           battalion A&L net) that potentially contaminated casualties are
           enroute.

                 (2) (U) The Chemical Casualty Collection Point, downwind
           from the BAS, will be augmented by 4 non-medical soldiers who
           will perform patient decontamination under the direction of a
           medical NCO. Minimal life saving emergency medical aid will be
           provided on the "hot" side of the Chemical Casualty Collection
           Point while more extensive medical care is provided on the
           '.clean" side. Hasty decontamination will be performed with
           M25SAI and M291 decontamination kits and dilute calcium
           hypochlorite solution (See paragraph 71 and insert 1, Tab 1).
                 (3) (U) In the event the BAS is contaminated, no attempt
           at patient decontamination will be made. Life saving aid will be
           provided and the patient evacuated to the next echelon of care as
           quickly as possible.
