AMMO 18 UPDATED COMPREHENSIVE EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔What is the function of an LPS? - ✔✔To provide lightning with a non-destructive, low
impedance path to ground
**Each type of LPS uses a different down conductor configuration, but each LPS must
have at least 2 down conductors to ensure a dependable low-resistance path to ground.
✔✔What is the minimum separation distance between a remote LPS (mast and
catenary system) and the structure to be protected? - ✔✔6 feet
✔✔What is the minimum number of down conductors required for an LPS? - ✔✔2
✔✔OPNAVINST 5530.13 - ✔✔Physical Security Instruction for Conventional AA&E
provides Navy physical security requirements.
Appendix A - Security Risk Categories
Appendix B - Surveillance Requirements for AA&E Storage
Appendix C - Physical Security at Military Terminals
Appendix F - AA&E Physical Security Checklist for Forces Ashore
✔✔Category I - Security Rick Categories - ✔✔Highest Sensitivity
Missiles and rockets in a ready-to-fire configuration, or jointly stored or transported with
the
launcher tube and/or gripstock and the explosive round
Examples: Stinger, Dragon, LAW (66mm), Javelin, AT-4, and SMAW (83mm)
✔✔Category II - Security Rick Categories - ✔✔High Sensitivity
Examples: HYDRA-70 rockets, TOW missiles, grenades, antitank and antipersonnel
mines, missile and rocket warheads up to 50 lbs., and up to 100 lbs. of demolition
explosives like C4 and TNT.
, ✔✔Category III - Security Rick Categories - ✔✔Moderate Sensitivity
Examples: HELLFIRE missile, incendiary grenades and fuses for high-explosive
grenades, blasting caps, supplementary charges, bulk explosives, detonating cord,
warheads for sensitive missiles and rockets, and .50 caliber and larger ammo with
explosive-filled projectiles
✔✔Category IV - Security Rick Categories - ✔✔Low Sensitivity
Examples: Illumination, smoke, and CS grenades, incendiary destroyers, riot control
agents (excluding pepper spray), precision-guided munition warheads over 50 lbs.,
ammunition with non-explosive projectiles, and fuzes
✔✔Controlled Item Inventory Code (CIIC) - ✔✔used along with SRCs to designate the
degree of security required for high-risk supply items
** Can be found on NALC Data Sheet
✔✔Which CIIC does "Non-nuclear missiles and rockets in a ready-to-fire configuration"
fall under? - ✔✔Cat I - Highest Sensitivity
✔✔Which security component is required for Category I and II storage facilities that are
NOT continuously manned or under constant surveillance? - ✔✔Intrusion Detection
System (IDS)
✔✔Mass Explosion HC/D 1.1 - Fire Prevention - ✔✔Sound the alarm and attempt to
extinguish the fire if it's in an early stage
✔✔Fragments HC/D 1.2 - Fire Prevention - ✔✔Do not fight the fire unless attempting a
rescue
✔✔Mass Fire HC/D 1.3 - Fire Prevention - ✔✔Fight the fire if explosives are not directly
involved
✔✔Moderate Fire HC/D 1.4 - Fire Prevention - ✔✔Fight the fire
✔✔Set 1 PPE - PC1 Red - ✔✔Wear:
Gas mask: MCU2P or M9
Butyl coveralls
Butyl hood
Butyl gloves
Fireman's boots
Butyl boot covers
✔✔Set 2 PPE - PC2 Yellow - ✔✔Wear:
Gas mask: MCU2P, M9, M17, or M40
Coveralls
