Even though TO 11-1-38 has its own safety section, what other publication should you reference for safely transporting explosive items on base?

The correct reference for safely transporting explosive items on base is AFMAN 91-201. This publication provides comprehensive guidelines and standards for the safe handling, storage, and transportation of munitions, explosives, and potential hazards related to their transportation. Its focus on safety regulations and practices is essential for anyone dealing with munitions systems, ensuring compliance with Department of Defense directives and minimizing risks during transport.

While there may be specific sections for safety in TO 11-1-38, AFMAN 91-201 acts as a crucial supplementary resource that covers broader regulatory practices and safety concerns associated with munitions transport, reinforcing the principles set forth in the technical order. This is vital for maintaining safety protocols within the operational environment where explosive items are involved. Other publications, while they may touch on aspects of safety, do not offer the same comprehensive approach specifically tailored towards the nuances of transporting explosives.
