Rack for Temporary Storage of 105 mm HEAT Ammunition
Abstract
This special publication describes the construction and use of a rack for the temporary storage of 105 mm tank ammunition in densely populated areas, consistent with explosive safety criteria. The rack, when properly fabricated end barricaded, reduces the blast distance for inhabited buildings and the hazardous fragment distance to 50 feet. Approval for siting must be obtained, through channels, from the DoD Explosives Safety Board. It is intended that this document be used for construction guidance and as part of the documentation requirad for site approval.
