What type of training is necessary for personnel handling Class V items?

Personnel handling Class V items must have safety training and instruction that covers the specifics of handling, storage, and accounting for munitions and explosives. This training is critical because Class V items include ammunition and explosive ordnance, which pose significant safety risks if not managed correctly. Personnel need to understand the hazards, appropriate safety measures, proper handling techniques, and the protocols for maintaining accurate records.

While technical proficiency in warfare, advanced weapons systems training, and leadership and management training are valuable for military effectiveness, they do not specifically address the unique safety and procedural requirements necessary for the proper handling of Class V items. The focus on safety and accountability in training ensures that personnel not only understand the munitions but also the methods to prevent accidents and ensure compliance with regulations.
