In a composite SDZ for tanks in Iraq, is it necessary to include area A and area B for M829A2, M831A1, and M908?

The inclusion of area A and area B in a composite Safety Danger Zone (SDZ) is essential for specific munitions based on their characteristics and the potential hazards they pose during use. For the M908 round, which is designed specifically to defeat obstacles and fortifications, it is critical to account for both areas due to its unique impact and blast potential that can affect larger zones.

M908 rounds have a significant danger radius which justifies the inclusion of both areas to ensure safety during operations. The composite SDZ takes into consideration the need for additional safety measures that minimize risks to personnel and equipment in the neighboring zones.

For the M829A2 and M831A1 rounds, while they also hold significance in vehicle engagements and training scenarios, the rationale for the inclusion of both areas may differ based on their intended usage and the scenarios anticipated in Iraq. Thus, specifically verifying safety for the M908 underscores the necessity of protective measures in locations where its impact could be most significant.
