Giving first aid and transporting injured personnel to battle dressing stations without seriously reducing the damage control capabilities of the repair party. Detecting, identifying, and measuring dose and dose-rate intensities from radiation. Parties should also be capable of surveying and decontaminating personnel and con- taminated areas. The only exception is when parties are specifically assigned to departments with special requirements, as in the case of nuclear weapons accidents and/or incidents. Sampling and/or identifying biological or chemical agents. Parties should also be capable of decontaminating areas and per- sonnel affected as a result of biological or chemical attack. The only exception is when the medical department is responsible. Controlling and extinguishing all types of fires. Evaluating and reporting correctly the extent of damage in-its area. This includes maintaining the following graphic records: —Graphic display boards showing damage and action taken to correct disrupted or damaged  systems —Deck plans showing locations of CBR contamination and the location and safe routes to battle dressing and personnel cleansing  stations —A casualty board for visual display of structural  damage Repair Party Assignments Division officers are responsible for assigning personnel to repair parties. Each repair party will have a nucleus of experienced and mature person- nel. Repair party personnel obtain this experience through the completion of special training pro- grams and personnel qualification standards (PQS). The DCA maintains a list of all personnel assigned to repair parties. The DCA also ensures that replacement personnel are properly trained and that they attain PQS qualifications. Avoid mass repair party personnel reassignments, and replace key repair party personnel on a contact relief basis. Dress Requirements for Repair Parties While none of the available uniform fabrics currently in use is considered protective clothing, it is a documented fact that parts of the body not covered by some form of clothing suffer more severe burns. A complete working uniform, to include a round neck tee shirt, should be worn by all personnel engaged in repair party activities. Roll down and button shirt sleeves, button shirt collars, and tuck trousers into socks. Uniforms of polyester double knit and 100-percent polyester should not be worn by personnel engaged in repair party activities. Additional items of protective equipment should be worn as follows: Life jackets of the inflatable type should be issued and worn in the pouch. Kapok life jackets should be readily available at or near the repair locker for those repair parties not issued inflatable life jackets. Personnel assigned oxygen breathing ap- paratus (OBA) duty may omit wearing a life jacket while wearing the OBA. Issue protective headgear (battle helmet with liner) to repair parties. Protective masks, preadjusted for immediate use, in the carrying case. Personnel assigned OBA duty may omit carrying a protective mask while wearing the OBA. Setting Material Condition Zebra Material condition Zebra is used for maximum protection in battle. During general quarters, personnel in manned spaces are responsible for setting condition Zebra in those spaces, including all accesses to those spaces. Repair parties are responsible for all other Zebra fittings. DCC coordinates the setting of condition Zebra for X-ray and yoke fittings that previously were logged open in the damage control closure log. Condition Zebra is first set on the fire main, drainage, freshwater, and ventilation systems. Access fittings should be closed starting with the lower decks and proceeding to those on higher decks. Condition Zebra is not fully set until all X-ray and yoke fittings are checked out. Each unit leader will report “manned and ready” to the repair locker officer when sufficient personnel are in the area to carry out their duties. It is not necessary to have all personnel present to report manned and ready. When condition 7-6
