Which material is acceptable for use when re-icing whole blood shipments?
- A.
  
  Dry ice
- B.
  
  Wet ice
- C.
  
  Gel-freeze
- D.
  
  Salted wet ice
Correct Answer
B. Wet ice

Explanation
Wet ice is the acceptable material for re-icing whole blood shipments because it can maintain a consistent and controlled temperature throughout the transportation process. It helps to keep the blood at the required temperature range to ensure its quality and effectiveness. Dry ice may be too cold and can freeze the blood, while gel-freeze and salted wet ice may not provide the necessary temperature stability. Therefore, wet ice is the most suitable option for re-icing whole blood shipments.

What would result in a pallet being removed from the airlift system?
- A.
  
  Corrison
- B.
  
  Scratches
- C.
  
  Gouges
- D.
  
  Dents
Correct Answer
A. Corrison

Explanation
Corrosion can result in a pallet being removed from the airlift system because it can weaken the structural integrity of the pallet. Corrosion is the process of gradual deterioration of a material, usually metal, caused by chemical reactions with its environment. If a pallet becomes corroded, it may no longer be able to safely support the weight of the cargo or withstand the stresses of the airlift system. Therefore, to ensure safety and prevent any potential accidents or failures, a pallet with corrosion would need to be removed from the system.

- A.
  
  Shipper
- B.
  
  Load planning personnel
- C.
  
  Cargo handling personnel
- D.
  
  Special handling personnel
Correct Answer
A. Shipper

Explanation
The shipper is responsible for marking the gross weight and the center of balance (C/B) on a shipment. This is because the shipper is the one who prepares the shipment for transportation and is aware of the weight and balance requirements. They need to ensure that the weight and balance of the shipment are properly identified to ensure safe and efficient transport.

Rate this question:
31.

A center of balance (C/B) marking is not required for a
- A.
  
  Single pallet
- B.
  
  Three-pallet train
- C.
  
  Shipment of pipes that are 13 feet long
- D.
  
  Small piece of rolling stock weighing 500 pounds
Correct Answer
A. Single pallet

Explanation
A center of balance (C/B) marking is not required for a single pallet because a single pallet is typically stable and does not require additional markings to indicate its center of balance. The C/B marking is usually used for larger or more complex shipments that may have multiple pallets or irregular shapes, where it is important to indicate the center of balance to ensure safe handling and transportation.

  DD Form 365-4
- D.
  
  AMC Form 39
Correct Answer
A. DD Form 2775

Explanation
The correct answer is DD Form 2775 because this form is specifically used for annotating the total weight of a shipment. It is a Transportation Control and Movement Document (TCMD) that is used by the Department of Defense (DoD) to document the movement of cargo and equipment. The form includes fields for recording the weight of the shipment, along with other important information such as the origin and destination of the shipment. Therefore, when it comes to annotating the total weight of a shipment, DD Form 2775 is the appropriate form to use.

Correct Answer
B. 150

Explanation
If there is a difference of 150 pounds between the documented and actual weight of the cargo, it is necessary to break down the originating pallet and individually weigh each piece. This is because the difference in weight indicates a potential discrepancy or error in the documentation, and weighing each piece separately will help identify the specific item or items that are causing the difference.

- B.
  
  Three
- C.
  
  Four
- D.
  
  Six
Correct Answer
C. Four

Explanation

- A.
  
  Two
- B.
  
  Three
- C.
  
  Four
- D.
  
  Six
Correct Answer
A. Two

Explanation
To restrain a piece of cargo weighing 12,500 pounds in the vertical direction, two 25,000-pound chains would be used. Since each chain has a capacity of 25,000 pounds, two chains would provide a total capacity of 50,000 pounds, which is more than sufficient to restrain the cargo weighing 12,500 pounds. Therefore, two chains would be enough for this task.

- A.
  
  Can proceed directly to the aircraft at any time within the three-hour time frame
- B.
  
  Will be added to the mission if there are space-available passengers onboard that can be bumped
- C.

- D.
  
  Is normally not added to the mission if it will adversely impact already-manifested passengers
Correct Answer
D. Is normally not added to the mission if it will adversely impact already-manifested passengers

Explanation
If a mission essential personnel (MEP) passenger notifies the Air Terminal Operations Center (ATOC) within three hours of aircraft departure, they are normally not added to the mission if it will adversely impact already-manifested passengers. This means that if adding the MEP passenger to the mission will cause negative effects on the passengers who have already been accounted for and manifested, the MEP passenger will not be added. This is done to ensure that the mission can proceed smoothly and without disruptions to the already-planned logistics.
