Engineer-Explosive Ordnance Clearance Agent (E-EOCA) Test Questions Fully Solved Latest Update
2025
Explosive Ordnance - Answers Bombs and warheads; guided and ballistic missiles; artillery,
mortar, rocket, and small arms ammunition; all mines; torpedoes; depth charges;
demolition charges; pyrotechnics; clusters and dispensers: cartridge- and propellant-
actuated devices; electro-explosive devices; clandestine and lEDs; and all similar or
related items or components, explosive in nature, which may cause injury or death to
personnel or damage to materiel. This definition includes all munitions containing
explosives, propellants, nuclear fission, fusion, or radiological materials, and chemical
or biological agents
Unexploded Ordnance - Answers Explosive ordnance which has been primed, fuzed, armed, or
otherwise prepared for action, and which has been fired, dropped, launched, projected,
or placed in such a manner as to constitute a hazard to operations, installations,
personnel, or material and remains unexploded either by malfunction of design or for
any reason.
Explosive Ordnance Disposal Incident - Answers The suspected or detected presence of
unexploded ordnance, or damaged explosive ordnance, which constitutes a hazard to
operations, installations, personnel, or material
Explosive Ordnance Reconnaissance - Answers Act of reconnoitering to determine the
presence of unexploded ordnance, ascertaining its nature, applying all practicable
protective measures for the protection of personnel, installations, and equipment and
finally reporting essential information to the authority directing explosive ordnance
disposal operations.
Explosive Ordnance Clearance - Answers Explosive Ordnance Clearance is defined as the
investigation, detection, location, marking, reporting and preparation of protective works
, for UXO. It also includes the disposal in place of UXO identified in the EOCA
Identification Guide and theatre specific UXO Annex (approved by EOD Staff Cell), after
risk analysis and positive identification
Explosive Ordnance Disposal - Answers The detection, identification, field evaluation, render
safe, recovery, evacuation, and disposal of explosive ordnance which has been fired,
dropped, launched, projected, or placed in such a manner as to constitute a hazard to
operations, installations, personnel, or material. It also includes the rendering safe
and/or disposal of ordnance which are hazardous or unserviceable due to damage or
deterioration when the disposal of such ordnance is beyond the capabilities of
personnel normally assigned the responsibility for routine disposition.
Positive Identification (PID) - Answers Once the ordnance is identified in the EOCA
Identification Guide, utilizing the ordnance items characteristics, nomenclature,
measurements or any other positive features
Disposal Procedure - Answers That portion of an explosive ordnance disposal procedure pertaining to
the final disposition of explosive ordnance by qualified EOD and EOCA personnel.
Blow In Place (BIP) - Answers After an ordnance item has been identified a counter charge can be place
close to, but not touching the ordnance to perform a disposal of the item.
Explosive(s) - Answers A substance or mixture of substances which may be made to undergo a rapid
chemical change without an outside supply of oxygen, with the liberation of large quantities of energy
generally accompanied by hot gases. Explosives are divided by two classes: high explosives and low
explosives, according to their rate of reaction in normal usage. Certain mixtures of fuels and oxidizers
can be made to explode, and these are considered to be explosives. However, a substance such as a fuel
which requires an outside source of oxygen, or an oxidizer which requires an outside source of fuel to
explode, is not considered an explosive.
Military Explosives - Answers 1. Manufactured specifically to meet the needs of military forces.
2. Relatively insensitive to heat, shock, and influence.
3. Maximization of damaging effects, long shelf life and a high degree of standardization.
