           RMKS/ LESSONS LEARNED FOR SUBJECT PERIOD ARE SUBMITTED IN
           REQUESTED FORMAT. DUE TO MINIMIZE IMPOSED, NAVGRAM UTILIZED.

           1. DRILLS: MOPP GEAR
               A. OBSERVATION: TIME CONSUMING TO OPEN PACKAGING: MOPP SUIT
           VERY DIFFICULT   @O DON; STAFF HAD NEVER DONNED ANY OF THE GEAR
           OTHER THAN THE GAS MASK (FILM SHOWED A DIFFERENT SUIT).
               B. DISCUSSION: CONFUSING I-MC ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT "LEVEL";
           STAFF HAD NEVER BEEN DRILLED ON MOPP LEVEL 4; MOST STAFF
           EXPERIENCED MOMENTS OF HESITATION BECAUSE IN THE PAST THEY WERE
           TOLD NOT TO OPEN MOPP GEAR.
               C. LESSON LEARNED: NOW TOLD THAT MOPP BEAR, IF KEPT DRY, MAY
           BE REUSED UP TO THIRTY DAYS; STAFF COULD HAVE BEEN REHEARSING THE
           DONNING OF MOPP GEAR AND REVIEWING THE STEPS.
               D. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: EARLIER USE OF MOPP LEVEL 3 AND 4
           DRILLS SO THAT STAFF COULD BECOME MORE FAMILIAR WITH GEAR
           REQUIRED AT DIFFERENT MOPP LEVELS. RECOMMEND HAVING TWO SUITS
           OPEN FOR DEMONSTRATION AND PRACTICE IN CLASS.
               E. COMMENTS: NONE


           2. LATE INTRODUCTION OF OTHER ATTACK LEVELS:
               A. OBSERVATIONS: FIRST INTRODUCED TO "AIR DEFENSE CONDITIONS"
           ON 15 JAN 91 (POB-ENTRY AND 1-MC ANNOUNCEMENT).
               B. DISCUSSION:     CONFUSION AND UNCERTAINTY ON STAFF'S PART
           WHEN AN "ALERT" NECESSITATES GETTING INTO A BUNKER; NEVER ANY
ISCUSSION OR CLASS ON WHAT THE VARIOUS THREATCON LEVELS ENTAIL.
               C. LESSON LEARNED:    EARLY BRIEFING ON ALL TYPES OF ATTACKS,
           THE ALERT AND THREAT CONDITION/LEVELS.
               D. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: FREQUENT COMMAND DRILLS USING THE
           CORRECT TERMINOLOGY OF ALL THE DIFFERENT "ALERT LEVELS" AND A
           VARIETY OF SCENARIOS.
               E. COMMENTS: NONE


           3.  CARE OF PATIENTS WITHOUT MOPP BEAR / INABILITY TO DON MOPP
           GEAR:
               A. OBSERVATION: SOME PATIENTS UNABLE TO BE MOVED TO GET INTO
           MOPP BEAR OR MAY NOT HAVE ANY GEAR (I.E. GAS MASK, MOPP SUIT).
