NAVY EXPEDITIONARY HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION FUNDAMENTALS
First of 6 fights between opposing aircraft carrier forces The U.S. Navy’s air arm finally stopped the Japanese advance which set the scene for the turning point of the war in the Pacific Battle was fought entirely with aircraft launched from carriers; the two fleets never saw each other. The United States suffered the loss of an oiler, an escort, and the USS Lexington.
Battle of Coral Sea
Category I- Loss of the ability to accomplish the mission.
Category II-Significantly degraded mission capability or unit readiness.
Category III- Degraded mission capability or unit readiness.
Category IV- Little or no adverse impact on mission capability or unit readiness.
Hazard Severity Codes
funds are derived from the activity's projected obligations and expenditures based on the amount used during the previous 12 months and their operating schedule for the next 12 months.

Signs and Symptoms of Shock
An abbreviated form of an operation order, usually issued on a day-today basis, that eliminates the need for restating information contained in a basic operation order.
FRAGO
June 6, 1944 Navy’s most notable Atlantic action may have been its part in this invasion. Largest amphibious operation in history. Greatest armada ever assembled. Carried out minesweeping, shore-bombardment, amphibious operations, and transported supplies and troops. Operations let the Allies complete D-Day landings successfully and eventually push on to Germany.
Invasion of Normandy
Subcategory A- Likely to occur
Subcategory B- Probably will occur in time
Subcategory C- May occur in time
Subcategory D- Unlikely to occur, but not impossible
Mishap Probability Codes
Food, Expendables, Petroleum, Construction materials, Ammunition, Personal demand items, Major end items, Medical material, Repair parts, Material to support nonmilitary programs such as agriculture and economic development
10 Army Classes of Supplies
first aid should be kept to a minimum Maintain an open airway. Control hemorrhage, and treat for shock. Remove constricting jewelry and articles of clothing. Protect the burn area from contamination by covering it with clean sheets or dry dressings. DO NOT remove clothing adhering to a wound. Splint fractures. For all serious and extensive burns (over 20 percent BSA), and in the presence of shock, start intravenous therapy with an electrolyte solution (Ringer’s lactate) in an unburned area. Maintain intravenous treatment during transportation. Pain resulting from small burns may be relieved with an anesthetic ointment if the skin is not broken. Relieve mild pain (as with first degree burns) with aspirin. Relieve moderate pain with cool, wet compresses or ice water immersion (for burns of less than 20 percent BSA). Severe pain may be relieved with morphine or Demerol® injections.
Thermal burns
A) Up to 6 hours.
B) Up to 3 hours.
C) Up to 30 min.
D) As fast as humanly possible; objective is less than 10 minutes
A) Routine
B) Priority
C) Immediate
D) Flash
June 4-7, 1942 High water mark of Japan’s Pacific Ocean war and turning point of the war in the Pacific. Thwarted by superior American communications intelligence which deduced the scheme before the battle was joined. Adm. Nimitz was able to establish an ambush and the trap was sprung on June 4th 1942. Japan lost 4 aircraft carriers, the U.S. only 1 of the 3 present.
Battle of Midway
determines the severity based either on the naval asbestos facility score (NAFS) if available in the activity’s asbestos inventory or from a judgment of the condition of the asbestos involved
Hazard Severity as they apply to the Risk Assessment Code (RAC)
intended to streamline small purchase methods, minimize paperwork, eliminate the Imprest Fund (petty cash, streamline payment processes, and simplify the administrative effort associated with traditional and emergent purchase of supplies and services
Government commercial purchase Card (IMPAC) (VISA) card
occurs when ice crystals form in the skin or deeper tissues after exposure to a temperature of 32⁰F (0⁰C) or lower. Depending upon the temperature, altitude, and wind speed, the exposure time necessary to produce frostbite varies from a few minutes to several hours. The areas most commonly affected are the face and extremities
Frostbite
The use of two locking devices and a physical barrier for the equipment. At no time can one person have in his or her possession the combinations or keys to gain lone access to a security container or cryptographic equipment containing COMSEC material.
Two-Person Integrity (TPI)
In June 1941, these veterans returned to form the first class in what was originally named the Mine Recovery School. Between June 1941 and October 1945, nineteen classes graduated and deployed throughout the Pacific and Mediterranean theaters. Divided into Mobile Explosive Investigative Units (MEIU) they were instrumental in the clearance of explosive hazards both on land and at sea The conflict in Korea saw a return to action on various minesweepers ensuring the continual clearance of shipping hazards.

The best means of protecting personnel from hazard exposure in the workplace is to eliminate the hazard. When this is not possible, engineering controls shall be the method of choice to eliminate or minimize hazard exposure in the workplace. When neither of these methods can be employed, activities shall implement
