In 1996, Change 2 to FM 3-4 increased the number of MOPP levels from five to seven, as shown in Table 2-13 (U.S. Originally, there were five MOPP levels, ranging from MOPP 0 to MOPP 4, the highest level of protection in which all gear must be worn. Mission-Oriented Protective Posture (MOPP) forces to operate as effectively as possible in a CB environment. To mitigate these difficulties, the Army has developed a strategy that combines doctrine, training, and equipment to enable U.S. In addition, some individuals have had adverse physical reactions to the materials used in the construction of protective equipment and adverse psychological reactions to its use. Unfortunately, state-of-the art gear is cumbersome, creates severe thermal stress, and interferes with the effective use of weapons systems. In an ideal situation, protective equipment could be donned in the field without encumbering the wearer. Army FM 3-4 defines various combinations of MOPP gear in terms of protection levels, depending on perceived battlefield conditions.
Used collectively or in various combinations, the equipment is called MOPP.
