Who supports tactical units in executing ESMP?

The Ammunition Warrant Officer plays a crucial role in supporting tactical units in executing the Explosives Safety Management Program (ESMP). This individual's expertise in ammunition and explosives management ensures that operations are conducted safely and in compliance with established guidelines. Their training and knowledge in the handling, storage, and disposal of explosives make them integral to advising and assisting tactical units on safe practices. They help ensure that all procedures related to explosives safety are adhered to during operations, thereby minimizing risks.

While Safety Specialists, QASAS (Quality Assurance Specialists Ammunition Surveillance), and Explosives Safety Officers also contribute to explosives safety, their roles are more focused on oversight, compliance, and quality assurance rather than direct support to tactical units in executing the ESMP. The Ammunition Warrant Officer directly engages with tactical personnel, providing the necessary technical guidance and support for safe execution of explosive operations.
