Ammunition Identification

---

Ammunition Identification Training is a vital component of Humanitarian Mine Action (HMA) and Explosive Ordnance Risk Management, aimed at equipping personnel with the skills to accurately identify various types of ammunition and explosive ordnance. This training enables deminers, risk educators, security forces, and humanitarian workers to recognize and report dangerous items safely and effectively, reducing the risk of accidental detonation and ensuring appropriate response measures. The training typically covers the visual characteristics, markings, and functions of a wide range of munitions, including Unexploded Ordnance (UXO), Abandoned Ordnance (AO), and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). 

By enhancing the ability to distinguish between safe and hazardous materials, Ammunition Recognition Training plays a key role in improving field safety, supporting clearance operations, and informing risk education activities in affected communities.
