Q1.
In a newly constructed earth-covered magazine, a quantity of 25,000 lb of Net Explosive
Weight (NEW) of HD 1.1 is stored. Using the standard quantity-distance (QD) criteria for a
barricaded magazine, what is the minimum separation distance to a public traffic route?
A. 1,250 ft B. 1,500 ft
C. 1,000 ft D. 1,750 ft
Correct: B - 1,500 ft
Rationale:For HD 1.1, the QD for a public traffic route is 60 ft per (lb)^(1/3). (25,000)^(1/3) "H
29.24, so 29.24 × 60 1,754 ft, which rounds to 1,750 ft. Option A uses 50 ft/lb^(1/3) (inhabited
building), C uses 40 ft/lb^(1/3) (intraline), and D is a miscalculation. Thus, B is correct.
Q2.
During an ammunition supply point (ASP) layout, a planner places a magazine containing
HD 1.2.2 items. Which hazard division does this represent, and what is the primary hazard
when subjected to fire?
A. Mass explosion hazard; fragments and B. Explosion with fragment hazard; no mass
blast overpressure dominate. explosion, but hazardous fragments.
C. Mass fire hazard; no explosion hazard, D. Moderate fire hazard; no blast or
but radiant heat is significant. fragment hazard.
Correct: B - Explosion with fragment hazard; no mass explosion, but hazardous
fragments.
Rationale:HD 1.2.2 is characterized by an explosion with fragment hazard but no mass
explosion. The primary hazard is hazardous fragments, not blast overpressure or mass fire.
Option A describes HD 1.1, C describes HD 1.3, and D describes HD 1.4. Therefore, B is
correct.
Q3.
An ESQD waiver is requested for a temporary storage site that will hold 10,000 lb of HD 1.1
for 90 days. Which of the following conditions is NOT typically required for waiver
approval?

, Section A - Application OF US ARMY ESQD Principles WITH Correct Actual AND Correctly WELL Defined Already A Explosives Safety
Quantity-distance ESQD Principles IN US ARMY Operations Graduate / Advanced Professional
A. A risk assessment showing residual risk B. Implementation of additional protective
is acceptable to the approval authority. measures such as barricades or reduced
occupancy.
C. Documentation that the waiver is for a D. Endorsement by the installation
permanent, long-term storage need. commander and the major command
(MACOM).
Correct: C - Documentation that the waiver is for a permanent, long-term storage need.
Rationale:Waivers are intended for temporary or emergency situations, not permanent
needs. Permanent storage must comply with standard QD without waiver. Options A, B, and
D are standard requirements for waiver approval. Therefore, C is the exception.
Q4.
When using the K-factor method for HD 1.1 quantity-distance calculations, which factor
directly accounts for the degree of barricading?
A. The cube root of NEW. B. The distance exponent n.
C. The barricade coefficient K. D. The pressure in psi.
Correct: C - The barricade coefficient K.
Rationale:In the K-factor method, the barricade coefficient K modifies the distance for
barricaded versus unbarricaded storage. The cube root of NEW is the base scaling factor, n
is the distance exponent, and pressure is an output, not an input. Thus, C is correct.
Q5.
An ammunition plant stores a mix of HD 1.1 and HD 1.3 items. The total NEW is 50,000 lb,
with 30,000 lb of HD 1.1 and 20,000 lb of HD 1.3. What is the equivalent quantity for siting
purposes?
A. 50,000 lb as HD 1.1 B. 30,000 lb as HD 1.1
C. 20,000 lb as HD 1.3 D. Use the largest single hazard division, so
30,000 lb HD 1.1
Correct: A - 50,000 lb as HD 1.1
Rationale:For mixed hazard divisions, the total NEW is used and the most restrictive hazard
division (HD 1.1) applies. This ensures conservative siting. Option B ignores the HD 1.3
contribution, C is incorrect because HD 1.1 is more restrictive, and D is a misinterpretation.
Therefore, A is correct.
