Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com Lewisite The chemical dichloro(2-chlorovinyl)arsine, chemical abstracts service registry No. 541–25–3, in pure form and in the various impure forms that may be found in storage as well as in industrial, depot, or laboratory operations. Life cycle The life of a system from conception to disposal. Maintenance/repair/servicing Activities associated with the maintenance, repair or servicing of equipment and other property. Excludes janitorial, housekeeping or grounds-keeping activities. Examples:
Install/remove/modify equipment, tune/adjust/align/ connect, hot-metal work, cold-metal work, plastic working, soldering, repairing tires, inspecting tires/batteries, fueling/defueling, changing/inflating tires, charging batteries. Malfunction Failure of an ammunition item to function as expected when fired, launched, or when explosive items function under conditions that should not cause functioning. Malfunctions include hang-fires, misfires, duds, abnormal functioning and premature functioning of explosive items under normal handling, maintenance, storage, transportation, and tactical deployment.
Malfunctions do not include accidents or incidents that arise solely from negligence, all practice, or situations such as vehicle accidents or fires. MANPRINT A comprehensive management and technical program designed to improve total system (leader, unit/Soldier, and equipment) performance by focusing on the human requirements for optimal system performance. This is achieved by examination of optimal allocation of total system functions and tasks to man, machine, or a combination, and the continuous integration of personnel capabilities, manpower, training, human factors engineering, system safety, health hazards, and soldier survivability.
Materiel acquisition decision process Those milestone reviews held to determine if a system is ready to progress to the next phase of the acquisition process. Materiel developer Command or agency responsible for the functional support for the research, development, and acquisition process. Materiel factors When materiel elements become inadequate or counterproductive to the operation of the vehicle/equipment/system. Maximum credible event The maximum credible event is the most disastrous maximum credible loss identified for a given system or operation.
In explosives and chemical agent hazards evaluation, the maximum credible event due to a hypothesized accidental explosion, fire, or toxic chemical agent release (with explosives contribution) is the worst single event that is likely to occur from a given quantity and disposition of A&E. The event must be realistic with a reasonable likelihood of occurrence considering the means of initiation, explosion propagation, burning rate characteristics, and physical protection given to the items involved. The maximum credible event evaluated on this basis may then be used as a basis for effects calculations and casualty predictions.
Maximum credible loss The maximum credible loss is the most probable, believable, and catastrophic outcome of a hazard’s affect on mission, personnel, facilities, and/or environment due to the occurrence of a particular event or series of events. A maximum credible loss is identified for the possible initiation of each cause associated with a given hazard resulting in undesired results. Medical surveillance A program composed of pre-placement, job transfer, periodic, and termination examinations that are provided to all personnel potentially exposed to chemical agent health hazards in the work environment.
Medical treatment Medical treatment is the management and care of a patient to combat disease or disorder. It does not include— a. Visits to a physician or licensed health care professional solely for observation or counseling. b. Diagnostic procedures. c. First aid. 119 AR 385–10 • 23 August 2007
