Who reviews the explosive location map and provides any needed changes or corrections to Civil Engineering (CE)?

• A. Base Security
• B. Weapons Safety Office
• C. Safety Office
• D. Command Post

Answer: (B)

Explosive safety oversight is handled by the Weapons Safety Office, which has the technical responsibility to review where munitions are located and ensure the storage configuration and related documentation meet all safety requirements. The explosive location map is a key document that shows munitions storage areas, routes, and hazard zones. When changes occur—such as new storage locations, modifications to facilities, or adjustments in on-hand quantities—the map must be reviewed and updated to reflect the current setup. The Weapons Safety Office performs that review and coordinates with Civil Engineering to implement any corrections, ensuring compliance with safety standards and regulations before operations proceed. While Base Security focuses on protection and the Safety Office on general safety, neither takes on the specialized role of validating and updating explosive location information like the Weapons Safety Office does. Command Post handles operations and communications rather than the technical aspects of explosive safety documentation.
