GUIDE TO ABBREAATIONS IN EOD JOURNAL
The computer generated spreadsheet used codes to allow calculation of totals and identification
activities. Below are the explanation of abbreviations and actions contained in the Desert Storm
Journals:
ACTMTY CODE
1. Incidents are input using unit number followed by chronological sequence number
then "DS' for Desert Shield / Storm. Example: the 3rd EOD Det responds to their fifth
incident which would be listed as '3-005-DS" followed by the DTG of receipt of missio
2. Other activities only receive the DTG of the activity start time.
CATEGORY'
EOD incidents are assigned a category of response priority to define actions for the team
leader on site. Initial actions can be taken (i.e. building berms) to reduce the hazard and categor
A Constitute a grave and immediate threat to war fight effort. Normally assig
to weapons of mass destructon, potential widespread contamination or
affect critical resource of the theater preventing the use of that resource (i.e
closing the airfield during critical operations). The EOD team survival in thi
operation is secondary to mission success (i.e. disregard safe waiting time
for battery bleed off on electronic fuzes - team moves in immediately). If ini
actions can be taken (i.e. build hasty protective berm) reducing hazard then
an updated category will be applied changing "A' to 'A / B" reflecting chang
to a category B situation.
B Constitute an indirect threat Ci.e. bomb in one section of an ASP that can be
avoided until fuzing batteries discharge without critical affect on war missio
Normal safe wailing times observed.
C Constitute little or no threat (i.e. submunitons off of an MSR in area not trav
but individuals including civilians may wander into eventually). Responded t
after Category A and B incidents.
D Constitute no threat at present and Items marked and recorded for future di
Example might include munitions dropped into an area far from inhabited r
base camps that present no reasonable hazard to any personnel.
