T/F: Thermal effecs are generally the most damaging of the three primary effects? - ✔✔False;
Fragmentation is usually the most damaging.



What is important to know about thermal effect high explosives? - ✔✔They produce higher temperature
thermal effects but for a shorter duration.



What is important to know about thermal effect low explosives? - ✔✔They produce lower temperature
thermal effects but for a longer duration.



What is the blast pressure effect? - ✔✔When very hot gases are formed in approximately 1/10,000 of a
second expand out from the point of detonation at supersonic velocities, up to 20,000 mph.

✔✔True.



The four types of injuries sustained during a blast are: - ✔✔Primary Blast Injury: Direct effects of blast
upon the body



Secondary Blast Injury: Propelled fragmentation

, Tertiary Blast Injury: Casualty's body is propelled against a stationary object



Qauternary Blast Injury: Being crushed or burns.

(Fragmentation)



IED's may have precut/preformed objects (ie ball bearings, hexagonal nuts, nails, etc) placed within or
along the device to serve what purpose? - ✔✔To form fragmentation when the IED detonates.



What is primary fragmentation? - ✔✔Fragments produced by the IED or explosive container.



What is secondary fragmentation? - ✔✔Object propelled from around the detonation point, and
fractured pieces of the intended target that become lethal missiles.
