Radio Teletype Operations in Mission Oriented Protective Posture
Abstract
Results are presented for selected Radio Teletypewriter operations conducted during summer operations at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Tasks were performed by teams wearing both utility uniforms and mission oriented protective posture, MOPPIV, (all equipment worn and sealed), equipment. This individual protective equipment (IPE) is associated with degraded performance in the form of restricted vision, manual dexterity, and other physical and psychological parameters. This field study observed the operational capabilities of several radio teletypewriter teams and qualifies the effect wearing IPE has on performance. Results of this analysis is a correction factor (CF), which is given in the following table for the tasks associated with a radio teletypewriter operation. The CF is used by multiplying the time to complete a task while wearing IPE has on performance. Results of this analysis is a correction factor (CF), which is given the following table for the tasks associated with a radio teletypewriter operation. The CF is used by multiplying the time to complete a task while wearing the regular utility or battle dress uniform to obtain an estimate of time required for completing the task while wearing IPE. Keywords: Degraded effectiveness; Individual protective equipment; Correction factor; Performance; Chemical protection.
