MOPP stands for Mission Oriented Protective Posture and describes an individual's chemical protective clothing.There are six levels of MOPP:MOPP Ready - Mask carried, first set of protective clothing, overboots and gloves within 2 hours and another within 6 hours.MOPP 0 - Mask carried, first set of clothing, boots and gloves carried, within arm's reach or within 5 minutes.MOPP 1 - Clothing worn; mask, overboots and gloves carried.MOPP 2 - Clothing and overboots worn; mask and gloves carried.MOPP 3 - Clothing, overboots and mask worn; gloves carried.MOPP 4 - Clothing, overboots, mask and gloves worn.Mask Only - Only mask is worn. This is used when riot control agents rather than chemical warfare agents are in use or when in the downwind vapor hazard area of a non-persistent agent other than blister or nerve chemical warfare agents.It should take no longer than eight minutes to go from MOPP 0 to MOPP 4 (assuming MOPP 0 with gear carried or within arm's reach). This varies by situation; it's a lot more time consuming if you have to go to MOPP 4 while hunched over under a poncho due to aerial spray hazard.With practice, it's not uncommon to cut down to 2-3 minutes to full encapsulation.
