Flightline contact/accountability for munitions and contacting control is handled by which position?

• A. Commanders
• B. Weapons Expediter
• C. Loadmaster
• D. Security Supervisor

Answer: (B)

Munition accountability and coordinating with flightline control are tasks assigned to the Weapons Expediter. This role is specifically responsible for tracking the move, status, and custody of munitions during onload and offload, and for communicating with weapons control and flightline control to ensure safe, compliant operations. The expeditor acts as the central point of contact for arming/disarming steps, status checks, and any updates related to ordnance on the flightline. While the loadmaster may assist with loading on some aircraft, the formal accountability and control liaison for munitions rests with the Weapons Expediter. Commanders set overall direction and security personnel handle security functions, but the day-to-day munitions contact and accountability on the flightline are the expeditor’s responsibility.
