c. Ensure protective clothing is worn properly.
3. Check each sleeping soldier.
a. Observe soldier to ensure he is breathing.
(1) Try to awaken him, if he does not appear to be breathing,
(2) If the soldier cannot be awakened, perform task 081-831-1000, STP 21-1 SMCT.
b. Check soldier's mask for indicators of a broken seal.
(1) Awaken the soldier and have him reseal his mask, if the seal appears to be broken.
(2) Direct another soldier to observe him for nerve agent poisoning.
(3) Perform task 081-831-1044, STP 21-1-SMCT, if symptoms are observed.
c. Check soldier's protective clothing for problems.
(1) Fasten or adjust the protective clothing of the sleeping soldier if his skin is not exposed and no symptoms are observed.
(2) Awaken soldier and have him decontaminate using the M291, if his skin is exposed and appears to be contaminated with liquid. Have soldier adjust his protective clothing or conduct MOPP gear exchange, as appropriate.
(3) Perform task 081-831-1044, STP 21-1 SMCT, if skin is exposed and nerve agent symptoms are observed.

Evaluation Preparation:

Setup: Evaluate this task during a normal training session. Gather all necessary MOPP gear, and ensure that it is in good condition. Be prepared to direct a series of specific MOPP levels for the evaluated soldier to implement with the troops provided (such as MOPP 0 through 4 sequentially). Have the soldier explain the deficiencies he should look for and the corrective actions he should take for a soldier sleeping in MOPP 4.

Brief Soldier: Tell the soldier that the test will consist of identifying all deficiencies and taking appropriate corrective actions for a soldier sleeping in MOPP 4 and directing soldiers to assume the appropriate MOPP level based on the MOPP guidance from the commander.
