WARNING
Contact lenses (soft or hard) may not be worn with CB Masks. Inadequate
oxygen supply to the corneal surface, exposure to dust, dirt, and smoke or
gas may cause serious vision loss or eye damage. Soldiers requiring vision
correction are provided optical inserts for their protective masks by their
unit medical facility.
Filters must be installed prior to donning mask. Filters must be changed out
one at a time. The warfighter will be unable to breathe if both filters are
removed from his/ her mask. Lack of oxygen for more than 30 seconds could
lead to injury or death.
Before stowing the mask, ensure that the cheek straps are not positioned
below the M61 filters. Cheek straps positioned below the filters may stretch
the mask causing improper chin placement; may induce buckling in the
brow region causing improper seal; or may cause the cheek straps to catch
underneath the filters delaying donning times resulting in illness or death.

developers in coordination with the MSCoE Foreign Disclosure Officer foreign
disclosure officer. This training product cannot be used to instruct international
military students.
Conditions: You are in tactical environment or an area with suspected liquid

chemical contamination given a roll of M9 detector paper. Some iterations of this
task should be performed in MOPP 4.
Standards: Detect liquid chemical agents by attaching M9 detector paper to your

MOPP gear on the correct (according to dominant hand) upper arm, wrist,
and ankle with 1 inch tabs Attach to equipment, with 1.5 inch tabs, in areas
likely to be contaminated within view of the operator IAW unit SOP.
Special Condition: None.
MOPP 4 : Sometimes
Task Statements
Cue: 1. you are required to initiate passive defensive measures prior to or after a
CBRN attack.
2. You are required to detect a potential liquid chemical agent.
WARNING
Always wear protective gloves when touching M9 detector paper. Do not

get M9 detector paper in or near your mouth or on your skin.

CAUTION
Firing weapons lubricated with lubricating oil, semi-fluid; lubricant, small

arms; or lubricant, semifluid, automatic weapons (LSA) may cause false
positive responses on the olive drab (OD) detector paper.
Heat may cause detector paper to turn red and cause false readings. Keep
detector paper away from hot surfaces such as vehicle hoods, weapon
barrels, or cannon assemblies.
Do not attach M9 detector paper to hot, dirty, oily, or greasy surfaces
because it may give false positive readings.
Do not rub or scrape detector paper across rough surfaces. Scuff marks will
cause false readings.
A color blind person may see a red spot as gray or black. Spots must be
checked by a person who is not color blind.
When dispenser is not in use, place in plastic storage bag to prevent
contamination.
Notes: Do not check M9 detector paper with colored light because you will not see liquid
chemical agent red spots.

Performance Steps
1. Attach M9 detector paper to your MOPP gear.
Note: M9 detector paper will not detect chemical agent vapors. Paper band
must not be too tight because it will tear with movement. However, it must not
be too loose because it may slip down. If assistance is available, let your buddy
tear off and attach your detector paper to your MOPP gear.
a. If you are left handed, place a strip of M9 detector paper around your
left upper arm, right wrist, and left ankle with approximately 1 inch overlaps.
b. If you are right-handed, place a strip of M9 detector paper around your
right upper arm, left wrist, and right ankle with approximately 1 inch
overlaps.
Note: These are the places where a moving Soldier will most likely brush
against a surface (such as undergrowth) that is contaminated with a liquid
chemical agent.
2. Attach M9 paper to equipment.
a. Place M9 paper with 1.5 inch tab for easy removal where it will come
into contact with contaminated objects.
b. Place M9 paper where it will be visible to the operator.
3. Check for surface liquid agent contamination by taking a piece of M9
paper and blotting the surface of equipment, ground, or vegetation around
suspected area.
4. Monitor the M9 detector paper constantly for any color change.
Note: If pink, red, red-brown, red-purple, or any shade of red streaks or spots

Task Statements
Cue:
1. You are required to initiate passive CBRN defensive measures prior to or
after a CBRN attack.
2. You are required to detect a potential liquid chemical agent.
WARNING
Do not use M8 paper if you do not see colors correctly. Color combinations
and comparisons are used during test. A wrong reading of results might
cause agent exposure due to premature removal of protective equipment.
M8 paper that indicates positive results should be treated as contaminated.
Report results, as required.
Notes: M8 detector paper reacts positively with petroleum products and ammonia.
When conducting agent test at night, remove any colored lens because it may
provide a false negative response.
Performance Steps
1. Identify liquid chemical agents with M8 detector paper using the active
method.

Performance Steps
a. Place markers 10 to 100 meters apart, depending on terrain, ensuring all
markers are line-of-sight visible.
b. When marking a contaminated area in open terrain (that is, desert,
plains, rolling hills), raise the markers to a desired height that permits
approaching military forces to view the markers at distances up to 200 meters..
Provide the Soldier with all items given in the Conditions Statement. Score the
Soldier GO if all performance measures are passed (P) in sequence. Score the
Soldier NO GO if any performance measure is failed (F) or out of sequence. If the
Soldier scores NO GO, show the Soldier what was done wrong and how to do it
correctly.
