Which publication provides guidance on weapons safety investigations and reports?

• A. AFI 91-202
• B. DAFMAN 91-221, Weapons Safety Investigations and Reports
• C. DAFMAN 91-223
• D. AFMAN 91-222

Answer: (B)

When a weapons safety event occurs, the process and reporting are defined by a publication that specifically addresses weapons safety investigations and reports. The Department of the Air Force Manual 91-221, Weapons Safety Investigations and Reports, provides the exact procedures for initiating investigations, who conducts them, what data must be gathered, the timelines, and the format and distribution of the final reports. This focused guidance ensures consistency across units and directly covers the actions needed for weapons-related incidents, making it the appropriate source for this topic. Other publications cover broader mishap investigations or different safety topics, but they don’t provide the weapons-safety–specific procedures and report formats found in 91-221.
