          1. ASSIST ANY INJURED PERSONNEL.



                                     WARNING

          The number of personnel who take part in the vehicle recovery
          should be kept to an absolute minimum. They are to be
          dressed in protective coveralls, glovest rubberized boots,
          and they are to also wear the M25 or M17A2 protective mask
          with M13A2 filter element and the accompanying head covers
          (i.e.@ Mission Oriented Protective Posture (MOPP) Level 4).
          The coverall pant legs are to be worn over the rubber boots
          and scaled with tape at the ankles. Likewise, the sleeves
          are to be slipped over the gloves and taped. The edges of
          the hood are to be draped over the coveralls and taped to
          them and the place where it contacts the respirator. Also,
          any remaining openings are to be sealed with tape.

                                     WARNING

          Recover tank to rear decontamination area, or injury to
          personnel and damage to equipment may result from exposure to
          Depleted Uranium (DU) contamination. If a decontamination
          area has not been designated, recover to a position downwind
          of rear support with a safety perimeter of at least 1,200 ft
          surrounding vehicle. Refer to TB 9-1300-278 for radiation
          detection and decontamination procedures.

          2. Mark the area for latter radiological survey and possible
          decontamination. Use NBC contamination marking kit; if not
          available, refer to FM 3-3 for instructions on fabricating
          uniform marking signs.

          3. Recover tank to rear decontamination area.

          4. Perform radiological survey and any required decontam-
          ination of personnel, tank and recovery vehicle following
          procedures in TB 9-1300-278.
