Q

List at least three steps that must be completed for general inspection procedures.

A

1) Check current item TO/WEBFLIS/JHCS for the controlled inventory item code (CIIC) and Department of Defense ammunition code (DODAC) (Federal Stock Class (FSC)-DODIC) to
determine if the NSN and CIIC are correct. (2) Check the ammunition lot or serial number against CMRS to ensure the item(s) has not been restricted or suspended from use.(3) Check the
external packaging for obvious defects and that the packaging is adequate to withstand additional handling, storage, and/or shipment. (4) Check the external markings for the minimum
required markings. (5) Verify that enough shelf and service life remains for the item’s intended use/purpose.

55
Q

What is the definition of a munitions storage magazine?

A

Any building or structure, except an operating building, used for the storage of explosives.

56
Q

What are the two general types of munitions storage magazines?

A

(1) Earth covered and (2) above ground.

57
Q

What are the major differences between 7-bar, 3-bar, and undefined earth-covered
magazines (ECMs)?

A

7-Bar ECM—ECMs are those igloos meeting the requirements of an approved definitive drawing or originally sited and approved, regardless of construction
details. A 7-Bar ECM provides the highest level of asset protection and permits the use of the least restrictive separation distances. 3-Bar ECM—The headwall
and doors of a 3-Bar ECM are not structurally as strong as those of a 7-Bar ECM but are stronger than an undefined ECMs. As a result, a 3-Bar ECM
separation distances are generally more restrictive than to a 7-Bar ECM, but not as restrictive as to an undefined ECM. Undefined ECM—An undefined ECM
is the weakest of the three ECM design types. A magazine placed in this category is either known to be a weak structure or there is insufficient information
available to prove that it provides greater than “Undefined” protection. As a result, the undefined ECM generally requires the application of the greatest
separation distances

58
Q

What is the most common type of munitions storage structure?

A

Arch-type igloo.

59
Q

What device ensures the ventilator flap doors close when temperatures reach a
maximum of 155 to 165 °F?

A

A fusible link.

60
Q

A firebreak of how many feet is required around 6 ECM ventilators?

A

5 feet.

61
Q

What is the ideal and most secure way of installing a hasp on a munitions facility?

A

Welding.

62
Q

To keep locks operating properly, how often should they be opened and closed?

A

Once a month.

63
Q

What is the source document for explosives capacities and controls for your facilities?

A

The explosive site plan

64
Q

What is QD?

A

Refers to the amount (quantity) of explosive material and the distances allowed between them and other
facilities, roads, runways, buildings, and so forth, for given degrees of protection

65
Q

What are quantity-distance (QD) principles based on?

A

The construction and type of PES; the explosives content of the PES; the construction and type of ES; the
distance separating the PES from the ES; and orientation of the PES and the ES in the case of igloos and modules.

66
Q

List instances when you would apply intraline distance (ILD) involving an explosives
location.

A

Explosives operating buildings from explosives storage locations.
Activities that directly support the explosives operation or area.

67
Q

What is inhabited building distance (IBD)?

A

The minimum allowable distance between a non-related inhabited building and an explosives location.

68
Q

What type of barricade also known as an “Armco revetment”, can be temporarily positioned on the flightline for separating munitions?

A

The earth filled, steel bin barricade.

69
Q

What is the main reason for posting fire and chemical warning signs?

A

To caution and inform anyone who may have a need to enter the area, building, or room with munitions
present.

70
Q

If more than one fire symbol applies, which one should you use?

A

The symbol that applies to the most hazardous munitions in the facility.

71
Q

When would you attempt to fight a fire with fire symbol 1 assets involved?

A

Only when rescue attempt is planned, or if there is suitable separation to symbol 1 materials and fire chief
approves. Stop fighting fire immediately once personal safety is threatened.

72
Q

Name one reason the backing of fire symbols is required to be made of a
noncombustible material having the same design as the symbol.

A

In case the number burns off in a fire, the backing showing the shape of the symbol will provide the response
forces with the information needed to determine the hazards involved

73
Q

According to DESR 6055.09_AFMAN 91-201, what exception will be made with
storing special weapons or nuclear munitions?

A

Warning symbols will not be posted.

74
Q

Where is the basic guidance for creating storage locations identified?

A

TO 11A–1–61–1

75
Q

What identifies the standard location designator for munitions?

A

An 11 digit alphanumeric system

76
Q

When are munitions items considered compatible?

A

If they may be stored or transported together without significantly increasing either the probability of a mishap or,
for given quantity, the magnitude of the effects for such a mishap.

77
Q

How many “lite” boxes are allowed in one storage location?

A

Only one per stock number, lot number, per condition code, per storage location.

78
Q

For what purpose was buffered storage designed and tested?
