Welcome to the test answers for the Explosive Ordnance Reconnaissance (EOR).
The EOR focuses on the recognition, identification, and handling of various types of ordnance, including bombs, missiles, grenades, projectiles, and explosives, as well as associated hazards and safety procedures. Knowledge of unexploded ordnance (UXO), their signs, safe handling procedures, and emergency responses are integral components of the examination.
The table below is a compilation of potential test questions and their corresponding answers. Please use it as a tool to reinforce your learning and gain the necessary confidence to excel in the EOR examination.
