How many personnel are required to handle an AGM-114 outside the container?

• A. One
• B. Two
• C. Four
• D. Three

Answer: (B)

The principle being tested is the two-person rule for handling hazardous ordnance outside its container. When the AGM-114 is outside the container, it becomes a controlled, potentially dangerous item that requires reliable physical control and safety oversight. With two trained personnel, one person can maintain a secure grip and guide the missile, while the other monitors for clearance, potential hazards, and proper safety procedures. This pairing provides immediate redundancy and coordination, reducing the risk of a dropped load, snag, or accidental movement. That safety-driven requirement is why two personnel are specified as the correct number. One person alone cannot provide the necessary control and oversight, while three or four exceed the standard requirement for this specific handling step.
