CHAPTER 4
DESTRUCTION OF AMMUNITION UPON IMMINENCE
OF CAPTURE IN COMBAT ZONE
387. GENERAL.
a. When immediate capture of ammunition is threatened by a
turn of events in the combat zone and when the ammunition cannot
be evacuated, it will be as completely destroyed or damaged as avail-
able time, equipment, materials, and personnel will permit.
b. The destruction of ammunition will be accomplished only on
authority delegated by the division or higher commander.
e. The methods used will require imagination, initiative, and
ingenuity, and should be the simplest which will accomplish the
desired purpose.
388. METHODS.
a. Ammunition can be destroyed most quickly by detonation or
burning.
(1) Detonation. Unpacked high-explosive rounds, separate-
loading high-explosive shell, and high capacity items such as antitank
mines, bangalore torpedoes, bursters or caps, packed or unpacked, may
be destroyed by placing them in contact in piles and detonating them
with a charge of TNT, using with blasting cap and sufficient safety fuse
to permit reaching cover at 200 yards. About 1 pound of TNT per 100
pounds of ammunition as packed, should be sufficient.
(2) Burninc. All other types of ammunition such as packed
high-explosive rounds and propelling charges, small-arms ammunition,
grenades, pyrotechnics, etc., packed or unpacked, can most rapidly be
destroyed by burning. The ammunition may be piled in the con-
tainers (except small-arms cartridges which should be broken out)
with all available inflammable material as wood, rags, brush, and
cans or drums of gasoline. The gasoline should be poured over the
pile and ignited from cover. Rounds that come through the fire un-
exploded will be in the nature of duds, that is, in a condition danger-
ous to handle.
