Willing obedience is obtained when a person readily and gladly does what he is asked to do, or ordered to do. A leader has the confidence of his men if they believe him and trust him. A soldier shows loyal cooperation by supporting his leader.

My work includes investigating, locating, diagnosing, marking, and reporting unexploded ordnance incidents. It's vitally important work because UXOs are a hazard to personnel and materiel. You see, my first task is to find out whether UXO reports are true or false. Then I have to make a careful investigation to eliminate false reports and verify actual UXO incident.

Surveying the casualty

Back | Contents | Next

Surveying the casualty First check if he responds. If the casualty is conscious, ask him where the pain is. If the casualty is unconscious, continue your assessment.

Second, check the airway and at the same time look for any cervical spinal injuries, which may worsen with movement. If necessary, open the airway and perform artificial respiration. Check for a carotid pulse, and perform CPR if no pulse is found. If the casualty is unconscious but has no severe breathing problem, continue your assessement to find the reason for the unconscious condition. Third, check for massive bleeding. If the casualty has more than one severly bleeding wound, treat the one that is losing blood most rapidly. If more than one casualty is bleeding profusely, treat the one who is losing blood most rapidly. The fourth step is to check for shock. A casualty suffering burns over 20% or more of his body must be treated for shock immediately. Severe blood loss will also cause shock. Fifth, look for open chest wounds. Gently turn the casualty and look for entry and exit wounds on the entire chest area. Sixth, check for and treat large abdominal wounds. Number seven, check for lower spinal injuries. And the last step, step eight, look for any other injuries that require evacuation, severe eye injuries or limb-threatening injuries such as fractures, dislocations, or third degree burns that circle the arm.

High and low explosives

8/1.2 High and low explosives

Back | Contents | Next

Listen and read High and Low Explosives Explosives are divided into two classes, low explosives and high explosives. Low explosives are ideal for pushing objects. High explosives are effective for breaking things into pieces. Explosives are classified as low or high according to the speed (meters per second) with which they change to a gaseous state. The velocity for low explosives ranges from 100 meters to 1,000 meters per second, and the velocity for high explosives ranges from 1,000 meters to 9,000 meters per second. Back | Contents | Next
