AMMO-18 EXAM (Latest Update) Questions and Verified
Answers| 100% Correct| Grade A+
Group G - Storage Compatibility Group - ANSWER-Group G includes pyrotechnics, fireworks,
illuminating, incendiary, smoke (excluding white phosphorous), and tear producing agents
Group H - Storage Compatibility Group - ANSWER-Group H includes ammunition containing both
explosives and white phosphorous or other material that is spontaneously combustible on contact with
the atmosphere.
Group J - Storage Compatibility Group - ANSWER-Group J includes ammunition that contains both
explosives and flammable liquid or gels.
Group K - Storage Compatibility Group - ANSWER-Group K includes ammunition containing both
explosives and toxic chemical agents specifically designed for incapacitating effects more severe than
lachrymation. Examples: artillery or mortar (fuzed or un-fuzed), grenades, and rockets or bombs filled
with a lethal or incapacitating chemical agent.
Group L - Storage Compatibility Group - ANSWER-Group L includes ammunition not included in other
compatibility groups, having characteristics that present a special risk that does not permit storage with
other types of AE, other kinds of explosives, or dissimilar AE. Includes damaged or suspect ammunition
from any group.
Group N - Storage Compatibility Group - ANSWER-Group N includes ammunition containing only
extremely insensitive detonating substance (EIDS). Storage compatibility group N does not currently
exist in U.S. inventory.
Group S - Storage Compatibility Group - ANSWER-Group S includes AE that presents no significant
hazard. It's packaged or designed to minimize hazardous effects from accidental functioning.
ESQD standards by controlling two primary factors - ANSWER-the quantity of explosives and the
separation distance between the explosives and other sites
As a general rule, the greater the amount of explosives, the greater the separation distance required for
safety
, Potential Explosion Site (PES) - ANSWER-any location where explosives may be handled or store
Storage Magazines, Outdoor Storage Locations, Ammunitions/Explosives Holding Area, Maintenance or
Production Facilities, Demilitarization Ranges, Shipping & Receiving Sites/Buildings
Exposed Sites (ES) - ANSWER-any location that could be affected by an explosion
Base Housing, Roads, Administrative Areas, Areas Outside of the Base Boundary, Other Areas/Critical
Infrastructure
K-Factor - ANSWER-separation distance calculation based on exposure to blast pressure
Select the two levels of protection designed to prevent sympathetic detonation. - ANSWER-
Intermagazine Distance (IMD)
Intraline Distance (ILD)
Which HC/D typically requires the greatest separation distance? - ANSWER-HC/D 1.1
An LPS for an explosives building must be designed to intercept a striking distance of what size? -
ANSWER-100-foot Radius
Four types of LPS - ANSWER-Catenary
Mast
Integral
Faraday Shield
Three basic components of LPS - ANSWER-Air terminals
Conductors
Grounding System
What is the function of an LPS? - ANSWER-To provide lightning with a non-destructive, low impedance
path to ground
