Which storage facility is earth-covered?

Which storage facility is earth-covered?

• A. AGM
• B. ECM
• C. Outdoor storage
• D. Warehouse

Answer: (B)

Earth-covered storage is designed to protect ammunition by burying or covering the structure with soil. The earth acts as a shield to absorb blast energy, reduce heat transfer, and limit fragmentation, making it safer for handling and nearby areas. The Earth Covered Magazine is the type built to be buried or covered with earth, fitting the description. Outdoor storage is open to the elements, a warehouse is an above-ground enclosed building, and an above-ground magazine sits above ground, none of which are earth-covered.
