In a burning smoke grenade with striker release, which safety components are included?

• A. he, frag, move, fire, c/s, 1hrwt
• B. he, frag, move, jet, none
• C. he, frag, move, fire, 1hrwt
• D. he, frag, move, 1hrwt

Answer: (A)

When evaluating a burning smoke grenade with striker release, the safety profile must capture every hazard the device can present as it burns and could be initiated. The grenade may contain high explosive (HE), so there is a real explosive content risk. The metal body can fragment if the device initiates, creating a fragmentation hazard (FRAG). Because the device is actively burning, there is a fire hazard (FIRE) and the heat can affect nearby materials or operators. The striker release mechanism means the arming system could be sensitive to motion or disturbance, so there is a movement/handling risk (MOVE). The casing or shell itself poses a hazard if the device is compromised (C/S). Finally, a standard one-hour waiting time (1HRWT) is employed to allow the burning process to stabilize and reduce risk before further handling. All these components together explain why that option is the best answer.
