Warning and reporting for biological events will be accomplished In Accordance With Air Force Instruction 10-206, Operational Reporting, and Allied Tactical Publication 45, Reporting Nuclear Detonations, Biological and Chemical Attacks and Predicting and Warning of Associated Hazards and Hazard Areas.
Air Force Commanders use Operational Reporting-3 reports to immediately notify higher headquarters of any significant event or incident that rises to the level of Department of Defense, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Combatant Command, or Service Level interests.
Note: The primary decontamination techniques used for potential biological agent spills/releases will be the use of 5% chlorine solutions, removal of three inches of soil (sand, grass, etc.) or a combination of both. (paragraph 4)
Determine the extent of spill and best resources available to decontaminate the affected area and extend decon efforts beyond the identified area by 25% to ensure all affected areas are included. (paragraph 5)
Allow a minimum 30 minute contact time between the chlorine solution and the contaminated surface. (paragraph 8)
