AIR BASE OPERABILITY
CONTAMINATI ON CONTROL AREA
L : To establish a Contamination Control Area (CCA) so
that off-duty personnel can remove their Individual Protective
Equipment (IPE) to be able to Rest and Relax (RAR) in a shirt
sleeve environment.
2. Command and Control: The Wing Commander:
a. Designates an individual as the Toxic Free Area (TFA)
commander.
b. Ensures units stagger personnel being dispatched to the
CCA.
c. Ensures a CCA and TFA plan is prepared and established if
the need arises.
3. Concept of Operation:
a. Contamination Control Area (CCA): The area where individu-
als remove their IPE.
(1) A vapor hazard can exist in the first part of the CCA.
(2) The lines will consist of one (1) set of signs per
processing line .
(3) Since this is an open air CCA, the mask exchange will
not be required.
(4) Wing Life support will set up in conjunction with the-
CCA to process air crew personnel.
(5) ATH will set up in conjunction with the CCA to
process patients/ casualties.
(6) The CCA will be located off base in an up or cross
wind direction in an uncontaminated area.
(7) All vehicles will stop a minimum of 100 yards from
the CCA.
(a) Walking to the CCA will enable the
overgarments/hoods/ booties to off-gas, reducing the need for
shuffle boxes.
(b) Vehicle drivers will spot decon vehicle prior
to returning personnel entering the vehicle.
b. Decon Area: The area where equipment is decontaminated.
