             are based on command decisions according to their potential
             threat. Categories may be adjusted depending on the tactical
             situation, target affected, and potential to impede other
             restoration activities.
                      (1) (U) CATEGORY A. Assigned to EOD incidents that
                  constitute a grave and immediate threat. Category A
                  incidents are to be given priority over all other
                  incidents, and disposal operations are to be initiated
                  immediately regardless of personal risk. Category A is
                  normally assigned to incidents capable of causing mass
                  destruction; widespread contamination; major reduction of
                  combat personnel, or loss of critical installations or
                  facilities.
                      (2) (U) CATEGORY B. Assigned to incidents that
                  constitute an indirect threat. Before beginning EOD
                  operations, a safe waiting period may be observed to reduce
                  the hazard to EOD personnel. Items of technical
                  intelligence value are normally assigned to this category.
                      (3) (U) CATEGORY C. Assigned to incidents that
                  constitute little threat. These incidents can normally be
                  dealt with by EOD personnel after Category A and B
                  incidents, as the situation permits, and with minimum
                  hazard to personnel.
                      (4) (U) CATEGORY D. Assigned to EOD incidents that
                  constitute no threat a present. These incidents may be
                  marked and left for disposal as time permits.

                  C. (U) Explanation of Terms.
                      (1) (U) Explosive ordnance Disposal (EOD). The
                  detection, identification, field evaluation,
al of unexploded
                  explosive ordnance.
                      (2) (U) Improvised Explosive Device (IED). Any
                  non-standard homemade type device (e.g.: pipe bomb, letter
                  bomb, car bomb, boobytrap, etc.) that uses destructive,
                  lethal, noxious, pyrotechnic, or incendiary chemicals to
                  attack personnel, equipment, or facilities. They may
                  incorporate military ordnance components but are normally
                  individually fabricated from nonmilitary or commercial
                  components.
                      (3) (U) Unexploded Explosive Ordnance (UXO).
                  Explosive ordnance that has been primed, fuzed, armed or
                  otherwise prepared for action, and has been fired, dropped,
                  launched, projected or impulsed in such a manner that it
                  constitutes
