resulting from nuclear and chemical weapons employment by friendly
forces are also reported. These reports are:
NBC 1 Report -used by the observing unit to report initial and
subsequent information.
NBC 2 Report -used to pass evaluated data of an NBC attack.
NBC 3 Report -used to immediately warn of expected NBC
NBC 4 Report -used for radiation dose rate measurements.
NBC 5 Report -used to show the area of NBC contamination or
hazard.
NBC 6 Report -used for passing detailed information on
chemical or biological attacks.

Exposure Categories.
In addition to NBC reports, the commander must have radiation exposure
information. The radiation exposure status (RES) of a soldier will be
assumed to be the same as that of his platoon. In case of
reassignment or evacuation of the soldier through medical or other
channels, the unit's radiation exposure status will go with him. A
notation of this status (RES-0, RES-1, RES-2, or RES-3) may be made on
official records. These records include the unit battle roster or the
appropriate records.
Radiation exposure status at the platoon level forms the basis for
determining radiation dose criteria. The best available estimates for
predicting the effects of radiation exposure are the basis of these
dose criteria (Table 3-1).
