MUNITIONS OPERATIONS

1.0 PURPOSE. The purpose of Munitions Operations is to provide munitions handling support to accomplish test and training activities.

2.0 GENERAL.

2.1. Eglin test activities may involve live or inert munitions and explosives. A wide variety of experimental, developmental, and inventory munitions or components are evaluated on Eglin test areas.

2.2. The relative responsibilities of Air Force Munitions and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) personnel and Contractor munitions handlers must be well defined. There must be close coordination among all personnel involved in the munitions handling operations, including Government safety, munitions, and EOD personnel, test engineers, Contractor munitions handlers, and other contractors.

2.3. At Eglin, the responsibility for preparation, storage, assembly, arming and firing/detonating munitions on ranges is established during the planning phase of a test program and assigned through tasks or test directives. Munitions handling operations may be joint (Contractor and Government), Contractor only, or may involve the Contractor and other personnel such as a development contractor. For each such operation, a determination of the distribution of responsibility is normally made during the Risk Management Board (RMB) conducted by the 96 TW Safety Office and confirmed in the test directive safety appendix, the approved written procedures required for all munitions operations, or both.

2.4. At Eglin, munitions and explosives are stored by the Contractor in a secure fenced storage facility on the Eglin range to provide greater flexibility and responsiveness to support rapidly changing test and training requirements. At the AVSP & AEN, WPAFB, no munitions are stored by the contractor.

2.5. At Eglin, bunkers 9517, 9518, 9519, 9520, 9521, and metal buildings E-176, E-177, and E-205 at TA C-74A are sited by DoD for storage of munitions. Bunkers 431, 457, 458 and 459 at TA A-24 are normally used for storage of munitions, for up to 90 days.

2.6. At Eglin, flight line munitions operations are performed by Government personnel. The 96th Maintenance Squadron (96 MXS) personnel maintain, store, and deliver allocated munitions from the Eglin munitions storage area.

2.7. Disposal of expended, dud, or residue munitions is the responsibility of the Government.

2.8. At the AVSF & AEN WPAFB, munitions are stored, handled, and prepared by the RSO personnel only.

2.9. At the AVSF & AEN WPAFB, working stock munitions less than 50lbs net explosive weight “NEW” are stored and prepared for test in Building 100, Area B, WPAFB, OH. Building 100 is also an indoor test facility.
