Image

The image is actually an image of a 1/6 model (ala GI JOE) rather than an actual MOPP Soldier. Still, the detail on the figure does the job just as good as a regular picture.

MOPP Level Alpha

Can anyone please cite a reference to this existing? My AFMAN 10-100 doesn't mention it and we don't use it in the US Air Force. MichaelBlankley (talk) 18:44, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Very US-Centric

MOPP is an acronym that's only used by the US military; the article doesn't make that clear, but I'm not really sure what the best way to add the information would be.--InfiniteBratwurst (talk) 12:20, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Donning speed

Is there any info that could be added to the article about how long it takes to dress in MOPP? Are there speed trials and any records for how long it takes to suit up? Ranze (talk) 21:35, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Protection against gases

"No protective masks filter out gases such as carbon monoxide, and in situations requiring that level of protection, external breathing apparatus is employed." This is unsourced, and the Gas mask article states that many masks do provide protection from both gaseous and particulate materials. How should we precisely describe their limitations against gases? –dlthewave ☎ 17:07, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
