Under MOPP 0, which item is carried?

• A. Mask
• B. Field gear
• C. Overboots
• D. Body armor

Answer: (A)

In this situation the focus is on how ready you are to respond to a chemical or biological threat at the lowest level of protection. At MOPP 0 you aren’t wearing the full NBC suit, but you keep the essential protective item accessible so you can don it immediately if contamination is detected. The mask is carried because it’s the first line of defense against inhalation hazards and can be put on quickly, minimizing exposure while you assess the situation or move to higher protection. Other items like field gear, overboots, or body armor are not the one you keep ready to don first in this level; they’re either standard equipment or addressed under different conditions, but they aren’t the immediate, react-ready NBC item at MOPP 0.
