Legend for Table 18-8:
* If assigned.
X - required minimum capability as fielded by JPM–IPP and AEFRP Tier 2 and Tier 1 material packages.
R - when required by position or local conditions.
O - optional capability determined and resourced by provider (fire and emergency services).
“-” - not required.
N/A - not applicable.
Notes:
1 The lowest accepted capability level for fire and emergency services personnel is DOD IFSAC HAZMAT operations competencies.
2 If fire and emergency services is not resident on the installation, then the lowest possible certification of fire department personnel within the U.S. is HAZ-
MAT awareness under 29 CFR 1910.120Q.
3 Performance objectives based upon draft DHS response capability for WMD/HAZMAT rescue target capabilities list, dated 17 February 2009.
4 Manpower identified in addition to HAZMAT entry team requirement and must be organized, trained, certified, credentialed, equipped, exercised, evaluated,
maintained, and sustained as specified in this publication and NFPA 472.
5 Training requirements per DOD 6055.06–M
6 Supporting equipment capabilities and subcategories per FEMA 508–4 (20 July 2005) format and definitions.
7 PPE list represents combination of (a) Level A–C PPE fielded as part of JPM–IPP and AEFRP fielding programs and (b) Chemical protective clothing requirements
based upon NFPA 1991 and in alignment with FEMA 508–4 HAZMAT entry team typing definitions. Chemical protective clothing includes the
complete ensemble (suit, boots, gloves) and may incorporate various configurations (encapsulating, nonencapsulating, jumpsuit, multipiece) depending upon
the level of protection required.
8 All respiratory protection to meet applicable NIOSH CBRN standards.
9 Fitted full face piece respirators only. No hooded respirators permitted due to operationally significant decrease in respiratory protection factor (RPF) from
fitter to hooded systems.
10 Preferred system is TVI USAR 3-line Decontamination System fielded by JPM–IPP and AEFRP.
18–12. Emergency medical services
a. Requirement. In order to provide EMS functions to the Army community, all EM programs shall coordinate with
DES and the MTF commander on the capabilities and capacity of assigned EMS units. Due to local conditions, EMS
may be provided by (1) fire and emergency services, (2) MTF, (3) external civil jurisdiction providers, (4) external
contract providers, or (5) a combination of these services. Once it is determined how EMS functions are provided for
the Army installation, EMS providers shall be designated in writing by the installation EMWG as Category 5 first
responders during the community profile process (see chap 4). Nothing in this publication requires the development of
new or additional capabilities in this functional area; just the coordination and integration of existing organic capabilities
with existing external capabilities resident in local civil jurisdictions, other DOD installations, and other external
response partners. Fire and emergency services and the MTF shall contribute to the EMS FAA and develop supporting
