Field and Temporary Storage Quantity Distances FO04 Slide 1

Introduction to Mixing Rules FO04 Slide 2

Mixing Rules Example 1 t 3m 7m FSM FO04 Slide 3 Same CG within FSM Each FSS will ideally be made up of FSMs of the same CG. If not, apply Mixing Rules. Field Storage Site (made up of FSMs) Usually a minimum distance of about 50 meters

Ammunition Requiring Separate Storage White Phosphorous (WP) Missiles in a propulsive state Damaged ammunition Unknown condition or unknown origin Awaiting destruction or demilitarization Constrained or banned for use Deteriorated and become hazardous FO04 Slide 4

Introduction to Aggregation of Ammunition FO04 Slide 5

Types of Quantity Distance  Inside Quantity Distance (IQD)  Outside Quantity Distance (OQD) FO04 Slide 6

Inside Quantity Distances – Between Field Storage Sites FO04 Slide 7

Inside Quantity Distances – Between Field Storage Sites FO04 Slide 8 IQD between FSS’s. For example if one FSS is HD 1.1, this must be a minimum of 200m if un-traversed, or 100m if traversed

Inside Quantity Distances – Other Factors  Ammunition of HD 1.4S – stored in isolation without regard for safety distances  300m minimum distance from recovered ammunition (if uninspected), unserviceable stocks, and stock awaiting disposal  100m minimum distance from areas storing packing material FO04 Slide 9

Inside Quantity Distances – Between Field Storage Areas FO04 Slide 10

IQDs - Temporary Storage Areas  Temporary Storage Areas should always be planned and operated by ammunition specialists, as a formal risk management process is necessary as part of the planning process for the establishment of safe separation distances. FO04 Slide 11

Outside Quantity Distances – Field Storage Areas FO04 Slide 12

OQDs - Temporary Storage Areas  Temporary Storage Areas should always be planned and operated by ammunition specialists, as a formal risk management process is necessary as part of the planning process for the establishment of safe separation distances. FO04 Slide 13
