INTRODUCTION
Military operations in nuclear warfare will be complicated by the necessity to control the exposure of
personnel to nuclear radiation. The primary reasons for this control are to maintain the combat
effectiveness of personnel and ensure effective combat operations. The commander should be provided
sufficient guidance so that these controls will prevent the unwitting overexposure of personnel and
interfere as little as possible with mission accomplishment.
PART A: IDENTIFY THE PURPOSE OF RADIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE
CONTROL
control; therefore, any control that is established should be flexible. The procedures outlined in this
lesson will help you provide guidance to the commander on the nuclear battlefield. Your guidance will
aid the commander in employing the unit in a way that minimizes exposure of personnel to nuclear
