Which flight is responsible for protecting personnel, resources, and the environment from hazardous explosive ordnance, improvised explosive devices, and weapons of mass destruction, and may include CBRN?

Which flight is responsible for protecting personnel, resources, and the environment from hazardous explosive ordnance, improvised explosive devices, and weapons of mass destruction, and may include CBRN?

• A. Fire Protection Flight
• B. Weapon Safety
• C. EOD Flight
• D. Environmental Flight

Answer: (C)

This item tests understanding of which airfield unit handles explosive threats and hazardous ordnance. The Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Flight is tasked with identifying, securing, rendering safe, recovering, and disposing of explosive ordnance, improvised explosive devices, and weapons of mass destruction, and may include CBRN response as needed. This mission directly protects personnel, resources, and the environment from those hazards. Fire Protection focuses on preventing and mitigating fires, not on ordnance disposal. Environmental Flight handles environmental compliance and pollution concerns, not cleanup of explosive threats. Weapon Safety oversees safety programs and handling policies rather than performing on-the-ground disposal operations. So the EOD Flight is the correct choice.
