What is the highest level of MOPP?

The highest level of MOPP (Mission Oriented Protective Posture) is MOPP 4. MOPP is a system used by military personnel to protect against chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threats.

At MOPP 4, personnel don all layers of protective equipment, including the overgarment, gloves, mask with hood, and special footwear, to ensure maximum protection in the event of a CBRN threat. This level is necessary when there is a significant likelihood of exposure to hazardous materials, and it indicates a very high state of readiness and protection.

The lower MOPP levels reflect varying degrees of readiness and protection. For example, MOPP 0 involves minimal protective equipment, and as the MOPP levels increase, so do the layers of protective gear required. However, MOPP 4 represents the ultimate level of protection, making it critical for personnel operating in high-risk environments.
