        APPENDIX    I    (CONTAMINATED    CASUALTY    CONTROL AREA) TO ANNEX I

            C. (U) Hotline.        The hotline is the dividing line between
        contaminated and uncontaminated areas in a decontamination station.
        All personnel will cross the hot line at the exit-entry point which
        shoud be located at the final stage of decontamination.                   The
        exit-entry point will be protected by shuffle pits of super-tropical
        bleach (STB).       Physical barriers and sentries could be used to
        prevent transfer at other points.           The actual transfer of litter
        casualties/patients will be done by seperate litter teams so that the
        hazard of introducing contamination by constant interchange of litter
        bearers between clean and contaminated areas is minimized.

             d.(U)    Clean Areas.

                 (1) (U) Location C (Treatment of Clean casualties). All
        patients except contaminated emergencies not requiring additional
        medical treatment are passed through this location-the clean ones
        directly and the contaminated ones after decontamination in location
        A and B.       Effective handling in this area is essential to avoid
        disorganization.      In this location the casualties are administered
        treatment as directed, with priority treatment for clean emergencies.

                 (2) (U) Location      D    (Disposition    of   Clean Patients).
        Patients are moved to this location from locations B and C to await
        further disposition.

        2. (U) Modifications.       The basic plan must be modified as necessary
        to fit existing situations and facilities.             At the same time
        provisions to avoid the spread of contamination must be maintained.
