Where are the steps to take a solid chemical sample described?

• A. FM 3-11, Para. 1-10
• B. ATP 3-11.37, Appx. G, Para. G-20
• C. ATP 3-11.37, Appx. H, Para. H-66
• D. ATP 3-11.37, Appx. H, Para. H-29

Answer: (C)

Solid sampling procedures are found in the official CBRN reference specific to sampling and analysis, not in general safety guidance. The authoritative place for taking a solid chemical sample is ATP 3-11.37, Appendix H, paragraph H-66. This section walks you through the exact steps for solids, covering how to collect a representative sub-sample, use clean tools to prevent cross-contamination, apply appropriate PPE, and properly containerize, label, and preserve the chain of custody of the sample. It distinguishes solid sampling from other sample types, which is why references to other appendices or other paragraphs don’t describe the solid-sampling steps.
