What safeties are listed for an APHE, BD ordnance?

• A. HE, Frag, Move
• B. HE, Frag, Move, Eject
• C. None
• D. HE, Frag

Answer: (A)

The safety marks on APHE, BD ordnance identify three distinct hazards you must account for: High Explosive (HE), Frag, and Move. HE signals that the filling is a high-explosive type, so handling requires standard explosive safety precautions to prevent initiation. Frag alerts you to the danger of fragmentation from the casing, meaning personnel must maintain proper standoff and protective measures. Move indicates that movement of the item must follow controlled procedures or be avoided unless under the correct safety protocol. This combination—HE, Frag, and Move—is the documented set for this ordnance, and no Eject safety is listed for it. Other choices either omit Move or include a safety not listed, so they don’t match the actual safeties.
